[PotD] [Survey] Personality Type and Favorite Champion <> UPDATE and DATA
Hey guys, remember this?
For those of you who weren't around, I came around asking for people to help me out to see if there was any trends between personality types and favorite champions. Well the responses were staggeringly huge and I've only crunched them partially, but I do indeed have an update at the very least.

Here is the overarching data as of 12:36pm 9/24/14, about the time where the response rate died down. Naturally I don't expect to just tack this pictures on and say "have fun", I have a few interesting tidbits I can share with you, no squinting required. (seriously these graphs are freaking huge)
######Yes, I know I mispelled Blitzcrank.....
Note: * means this type was underrepresented compared to the rest of the sample size and will naturally have a false variance.

#What does it mean?
Well, even with 33,000+ responses, such a broad and generalized question will still cloud the analysis by a significant amount. But I think there are a few things we can take away from this that proves interesting.
#1) ISFJ's are rebels
Seriously though, ISFJ's seem to have a tendancy both towards healing supports and an avoidance of assassins. Being "Introverted Observant Feeling Judgement", that makes a surprising amount of sense. Granted ISFJ's were also within the lower half of the representation so the extreme variance in their results could have been exacerbated by that. But nonetheless ISFJ's seem to go against the FotM champions for the most part.
#2) Observant Types have a much greater 'focus' on their preferences
All the peaks and dips were quite close to being exclusively on the XSXX side of the equation. This could suggest the XNXX (Intuitive) type's natural tendency to be flexible cropping up, while the observant focus more on their own preferences. One wonders how often XNXX types call "fill" versus XSXX types........
#3) Playstyle correlations in ESTP and ESFP types
ESTP's seem to like the "burst stealth", juking champs. (Peak at Zed, Vayne, WuKong)
ESFP's seem to prefer close range, burst damage champs. (Peaks at Graves Akali, Ahri, Irelia, Zed) Irelia being a bit of an outlier.
Upcoming
I will be churning out pie charts per champion over the next few weeks (i.e. weighted breakdown of types for Aatrox players, Ahri players, etc.). I apologize for not having those out yet, it's the classic Testing Gauntlet before the drop date at Virginia Tech and naturally that has taken priority. They'll e out eventually though!
Too much college, not enough time >_<
Want to help out? The survey's still going! Additional responses will help refine the analysis as well as better represent the League community, so if you haven't taken the few minutes to give it a go, what are you waiting for?!

My favorite top laner is
