The Thesis on God
Year: 2015
Ebenezer Scrooge: ISTJ
A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
Si: Scrooge is stubborn as an ox (possibly several oxen). Everyone’s redemption comes differently, and Scrooge must be convinced by first being shown different parts of his past, and then his potential future. As an Si dom, his sentimental side awakens as he witnesses scenes from his childhood and is angered as he sees mistakes that he’s made. Likewise, he must be shown a future that he had no means of visualizing in order to understand that he must Continue reading
Mercedes Mondago: ISFP
Guest Post by Debaparna Das, INTP
The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
Dominant Introverted Feeling (Fi):Emotional fulfilment and stability are highly important to Mercédès, and she is quite discerning with regards to her feelings. She asserts that she loves Fernand Mondego only as a brother, while her feelings for Edmond Dantes are very different and more intense. She does not understand Fernand’s jealousy and Continue reading
Claus Von Stauffenberg: INTJ
Valkyrie
Ni: Stauffenberg had a very specific end in mind when he set out as a conspirer against Adolf Hitler. He understood that up until he joined, most of the other conspirers didn’t intend to go quite far enough to achieve that end. Thus, he refused to participate until they were willing to follow his game plan. He’s the one who suggested all the out-of-the-box solutions that everyone else was afraid to even think about. Stauffenberg had no trouble keeping a secret, and was better Continue reading

Fred Astaire: ISFP
Fi: Fred was a romantic who loved to partner dance. Once his sister got married, he was free to choreograph romantic dances. At the same time, he was reluctant to embrace the romantic approach because he didn’t like to scream his feelings to the world. Fred was a resolved individual, dedicated to his craft like no other. Constantly being told at Continue reading
Stephen Hawking: INTJ
Theory of Everything
Ni: Stephen Hawking is a problem solver who’s goal is “complete understanding of the universe.” He also likes to describe himself as “master of the universe.” Many of his arguments contain intuitive leaps that are only followable because he provides the Te evidence necessary to prove them (I say prove…nothing can really be proved. All you can do is disprove). Hawking is good at visualizing the universe –it’s been said his brain is like a giant virtual map. Continue reading
Lucy Pevensie: INFP
The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
Fi: Lucy always follows her heart, even when her head and her siblings are telling her otherwise. She tends to be a bit over-trusting of people, which can get her into trouble at times, but generally, it serves to make her gentle and loving. Though she is sensitive to other people’s criticisms, she is quick to forgive, and quicker to love. Lucy wants to put herself to good service and loves to help people. Aslan’s Christmas gift to her is one that aids her Continue reading
Rincewind: ISTJ
Discworld, Terry Pratchett
Introverted Sensing (Si): We’re familiar with heroes that fight the call to adventure and eventually accepts their task. How about Rincewind, who never ever ever stops fighting the call to adventure. All Rincewind wants to do is avoid contact with anything new. He does everything in his power (not always very much) to prevent Continue reading

INTJ Fetishization
“I’m an INTJ, and I get the idea that a lot of people fetishize us for reasons incomprehensible to me. I can relate quite a bit to the INTJs presented (in fetishized form) on telly, but sometimes, there are things about the way they’re presented that drives me absolutely insane. Do you get the same feeling? Or is it just me?”
It’s not just you. All INTJs secretly hate and admire their fetishization.
In canon media, INTJ’s bad qualities tend to be featured rather than their good ones — particularly bluntness and seemingly invisible feelings. The reason for this is likely that most of the people writing INTJs are not INTJs themselves, Continue reading

How to Get out of the Grip
“Would you please do a post on how to get out of the grip of your inferior functions?”
Hmm, funny. I was going to do a post on this independently of your question (great minds think alike). Actually, forget I said that. Great minds pride themselves on thinking differently.
There are multiple ways you can pull yourself out of your grip functions, but heres the basic method.
#1 Accept that you’re in the grip
It goes without saying that Continue reading

Why I Type so many INTJs
“You’ve typed a lot more INTJs than any other type”
I believe you submitted this comment under the questions section?
Either way, a question was implied, and I will honour your request.
Reason #1 I am an INTJ.
I don’t know your type, but based on the content of your comment, I know you’re not an INTJ. Try to imagine what it would be like if you had Continue reading
