If the use of the term `rarest' is to imply `special' then there is no `rarest' MBTI type. The frequency of occurence of each of the 16 types depends on the polulation being considered and the form of testing used. Sex, occupation, race, age (though type may not change with as a person ages) each provide different distributions of Type. A quick look through the `Manual: a Guide to the Development and Use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator' doesn't readily provide an answer to this question and I suspect that that is deliberate.

The point is that each Type has equal value and the ideal role of the individual as he or she matures is to learn to use the favoured functions that their type provides well while at the same time developing the less favoured functions for situations where these are required.

Having said that, INTJs and INTPs are usually among the least frequently appearing Types among tested populations (1 to 4% and 1 to 5% respectively).
