Charles Xavier: INFJ
Guest Post by Shubham, ENTP
X-Men
Introverted Intuition (Ni): Charles is a mutant who has the power of telepathy (and to some extent telekinesis), but can also recognize what is going on in the minds of others very easily without having to read their minds. Thus many times when he is asked, “so did you read my mind,” he responds, “I didn’t have to.” Charles is extremely focused towards a long term goal (to make the society accept the mutants) and all of his actions are directed towards achieving it. Towards this goal, he has a very visionary, idealistic approach. His being the most powerful brain on the planet also gives him the a fair idea of ‘what comes next’ as that kind of thought requires a calm and detailed analysis (Ni) than a quick and some-what impractical response (Ne). This gives him a bit of a mystic charm. Like Magneto, he has a very specific approach to problem solving, a fact which is often the root stressor of their disagreements. Continue reading
Fleur Delacour: ESFJ
Guest Post by Andrew, ENTJ
Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling
Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Fleur is primarily concerned with her social image. When eating at Hogwarts, she is worried that she will gain weight and not fit into her dress robes. She wants a socially acceptable date for the Yule Ball; not only does she try to get Cedric to ask her to the ball, but she is highly offended when Ron asks her out. When she gets married, she has an enormous wedding with all her friends and family in attendance. Fleur is very attractive, and shamelessly uses her charm and good looks to get what she wants, whether a date or just a favor. Fleur is deeply affected by her inability to rescue her sister for the second Triwizard Task (insisting that she deserves no points), and she warms up to Harry and Ron when they rescue her sister instead.

Eustace Clarence Scrubb: ISTJ
Guest Post by E. J., INTJ
The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
Dominant Si: Eustace initially behaves in ways that do not reflect the customs of English society as a whole because he is used to the behavior of his parents, who have tried to raise him in a way that they consider modern and progressive. In reality, they have accidentally stunted Eustace’s imagination and emotional life, making him unable to enjoy socializing with normal children. When Eustace is transported to Narnia with his cousins Edmund and Lucy, at first he cannot adjust to the fact that he is in a place where his parents’ preferred way of life might hamper his own survival. He insists that a British Consulate must be located somewhere in the area and believes that things on the Dawn Treader are not being done properly. Fortunately, Eustace eventually realizes that the customs of Narnian society make more sense than those taught to him by his parents. He changes his behavior and becomes a much more pleasant person in both Narnia and England. Continue reading
Why You should Stop Saying you were “Traumatized” by a TV Show
Anon asked: “You’re the first MBTI expert I’ve come across who’s typed the characters from Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter, and since you’re an INTJ, I must know. Were you emotionally traumatized the first time you watched it?”
Cho Chang: ISFJ
Guest post by Andrew, ENTJ
Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling
Introverted Sensing (Si): Cho follows through with her commitments. When she accepts Cedric’s invitation to go to the Yule Ball together, she stays true to her word, turning down a later invitation from Harry, with whom she really wanted to go to the ball. Additionally, she never takes the initiative to ask Harry to the ball herself (classic Si traditionalism). Cho is loyal to everyone she knows; she doesn’t stop talking to Harry even when most of the Wizarding World regards him as “disturbed and dangerous,” and when her best friend, Marietta, sells out the defense education group that Harry leads, Cho refuses to cut ties with her. Cho has a tendency to remember past instances of rudeness, like when Ron insults her Quidditch team (Si-Fe). During her one Quidditch match against Harry, Cho lets him search for the Snitch while she tails him. Continue reading
William Murdoch: ISTJ
Guest Post by Fanta, INTJ
Murdoch Mysteries (TV series)
Si: Detective William Murdoch is a very serious, by-the-book, conventional man who is deeply attached to his Catholic religious upbringing. He has a strong sense of duty guiding him when he has to make difficult and personal choices: he chooses justice over stopping the marriage of the woman he loves. He upholds the law to a tee, always tells the truth (even when it leads to freeing a guilty criminal), and minutely follows criminal and scientific procedures. From very early on, Murdoch has developed a keen interest in scientific knowledge, spending so much personal time absorbing all kinds of information through this hobby that he became an expert without consciously wanting to. Continue reading
Bucky Barnes: ESTP
Guest Post by Kerissa, INFJ
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Se: On his last night before leaving for the war, Bucky chooses to go to a science exposition, a busy place full of lights and noises and people, and plans on going dancing afterwards. He has no visible emotional attachment to his date in this scene, he does this for the delight of doing something. When Steve rescues him from the POW camp, Bucky immediately notices he’s changed, saying, “I thought you were smaller.” Bucky is very physical in his friendships: he initiates hugs with Steve, puts his arm around his shoulder, and pushes him to get his attention. As he breaks through his brainwashing in the vault scene in Winter Soldier, his memories come back as various sensory experiences and images. Continue reading

Ariadne – Inception: INTP
Guest post by E.J., INTJ
Inception
Dominant Ti: Ariadne is a very logical person whose talent for puzzle-building earns her a place on Cobb’s team. Her attraction to building dream architecture draws her to join, despite her initial reluctance after seeing Cobb’s disturbed mental state. She generally does not discuss her ideas at length–when she describes the dream architecture she has planned to other people, her explanations are brief. Ariadne rarely overreacts to situations. Even when she shows initial alarm, she is ready to move on to a rational solution as soon as someone can suggest one. When their mission goes wrong, Ariadne (unlike Cobb and Eames) does not give up. Instead, she proposes a rational solution based on her mathematical knowledge of their situation. Continue reading

Ritchie – Pokemon: INFJ
Guest Post by Andrew, ENTJ
Pokemon
Introverted Intuition (Ni): Ritchie always contemplates his next move instead of jumping straight into anything. When he decided to search for the legendary Pokemon Lugia, he did extensive research on the Whirl Islands (where Lugia was rumored to be found) before even traveling to the area to look. On arrival, he concentrated his search on the most likely areas to find Lugia. He anticipates that his Pokeballs might get mixed up with those of other trainers, so he marks his own with stars as a precaution. When Team Rocket tricks all Pokemon League participants into giving them their Pokeballs, Ritchie discovers their ploy with a very small sliver of information. Continue reading
Max – Pokemon: INTP
Guest post by Andrew, ENTJ
Pokemon Anime Franchise
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Although too young to train Pokemon himself, Max is intimately familiar with the theory of Pokemon battling. He will analyze every battle he sees, trying to figure out exactly what each trainer does right and wrong. In the few battles in which Max does participate, he follows theory rather than tuning into the reality of the situation; he will often set up a defense single-mindedly while his opponent is mercilessly attacking. On his journey with Ash, Brock, and May, Max would always be on the lookout for a Pokemon to use its special move or ability. Max has a curiosity that would sometimes get him into trouble; when he saw a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle for the first time, he inspected the three Pokemon with his hands, provoking them to attack him.
