Those stats look more right, but please don't display them as facts.... there are no sample size, they are skewed as a student population etc etc etc...
In order for something to be statistically valid it needs a minimum of 1000 interviews per country - and I'd say somewhere like the US needs a lot more than that...
sorry don't mean to be picky... but careful what you beleive in... That said the stats look similar to other stats I've seen...
I would think that a conversation you had in May which Cited old research conducted by Keirsy is likely to be more accurate albe it considerably old.

It might be worthwhile pointing out that no research is fact, it's all different degrees of indicative... unless it's a census, and the population is static and unchanging, all research is prone to sampling error - such as skewed population, device error, time constraints, etc etc the list goes on forever... Some research is better than others but non of it can be taken as pure fact.
This probalem is doubly compounded by the MBTI being a preference test... some peoples scores move dependng on how they feel - at least this is what they say... I don't beleive it personally, but it's self projected opinions not facts either...
The big picture is about 20-25% are N typs probably globably with some variations per country... it's not that common....
