Just found this old article that I thought was fascinating.
TLDR:
The best clutch players in the NBA are generally ISTPs (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceivers.) This list includes players like Hakeem Olajuwon and John Stockton and the ultimate ISTP, Michael Jordan.
That's why Karl Malone always struggled in the clutch in the playoffs, because he's an ESTP.
But in other sports like being an NFL QB, the best players are extroverts.
Article was very interesting.
