Jack Dawson: ESFP
Titanic
Se: Jack is spontaneous, living in the present and observant of his surroundings. He pays attention to little things in his environment and can use them to his advantage at the spur of the moment. He says he wants to make each day count, not the future, not the past –each day. He jumps into action quickly, acting to save Rose’s life and slipping into first class dining halls last minute. He’s a visual person, an artist in fact (but sadly doesn’t Continue reading
Gender in INxJs
“Hi, I’m an INTJ female and noticed that there aren’t really a lot of other female INTJs. Most of them eeem to all be male. Is there a correlation between gender and type or is that just stereotype when it comes to characters.”
Nope. For once, that one’s not a stereotype. INTJ females are incredibly rare, as are INFJ males, supposedly comprising about .02% of the global population (versus the 8% that each INxJ type comprises as a whole).
I’ve heard varying accounts of MBTI assigned-gender statistics, but generally, this is the consensus:
INxJs are the rarest types
INFJ is without a doubt the rarest of the rare types, as it is: the rarest of the introverts, the rarest of the intuitives, the rarest of the judgers, Continue reading
Thomas Berger – Swing Kids: ESTP
Swing Kids
Se: Of the hep cats, Thomas is definitely the most physically active, and the quickest to act. He’s always the first to jump into a fight and the last to stop dance. He loves to improvise and the thrill of the moment is of utmost pleasure to him (thus, we shall steal a radio). He gets particularly excited when the gestapo award him with a motor bike, and loves to pop out and frighten people to get a reaction out of them. He punishes immediately, Continue reading
Arthur Conan Doyle: ESTP
Se: Doyle was very aware of physical and sensory detail, and emphasises it to an extreme extent throughout the Sherlock Holmes stories. His stories were all about experiences, the rush, the effect etc. His stories were all based on bizarre realities found in newspapers and the like and then sensationalised into stories. Sherlock Holmes, the character, Continue reading
Elsa – Frozen: ISTJ
Frozen
Si: Elsa is perpetually in a self-made cage haunted by the past. Even after she professes to having “let it go” she’s really still holding on to it. Elsa is afraid of what her people will think of her for being different and practices social graces with astute determination to try to hide it. She is often so detail oriented that she fails to recognise the big-picture implications of current events as well as her own actions. For instance –freezing the entire kingdom goes beyond her notice because Continue reading
How to tell the Difference: INTJ vs INFJ
Loads of people get it into their heads that the sole difference between INTJs and INFJs is that the latter are sweet and kind while the former are complete apathetic jerks. Unfortunately, this assumption is based on stereotypes and doesn’t include the jungian functions at all.
In my experience, there are plenty of both types that defy the stereotype beyond reason, to the point that MBTI-Typers who go based on stereotypes are bound to get them wrong.
This type of behaviour can also be observed if you watch Sherlock.
INxJs share two common functions: dominant Ni, and inferior Se. As a result, it’s easy for the Continue reading
Zaphod Beeblebrox: ESFP
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
Se: Zaphod’s primary goal in life (if you want to call it a goal) is to make a scene –a very big scene. “Zaphod loved effect: it was what he was best at.” He’s a performer who loves to show off his skill and talent luck and charm. He’s that guy who gives the party soul, but is also the most likely to forget to think before acting and end up burning down the house (without consuming alcohol). He’s all about action, risk, and never thinks before he acts, and never has a reason for doing anything at all. Continue reading

Asa Butterfield: INFJ
Ni: Asa mentions that when he reads a script, he reads first for enjoyment and then for ideas and overarching themes and morals. He’s creative and loves music. He writes hip hop and dance music and enjoys DJing. He enjoys playing strategy games, but team strategy games (NiFe). He loves sic-fi, and the impossible, but also the possible (his favourite superhero is Continue reading
Sybil Crawley: INFP
Downton Abbey
Fi: Sybil has a strong moral drive, which stems from within herself rather than what she observes in others (she’s an awesome feminist). She’s very careful to be certain that an action is right before she pursues it, thus her slowness to accept Tom as a romantic interest. At the same time, she doesn’t really care about her social image or Continue reading
