Does Personality Type change over time?

Arvid Walton 20 Comments

maryamassegaf asked: Is it possible our type change over the time? I have test and read about mbti in many website, and the result is always INTJ right now, but I think my type in childhood was ISTJ (the description is fit better to me in the childhood). When I was teen, there was clashes inside my mind so I began to questioning inside my mind about values, rules, morality and principles in society. So I think those clashes shaped me to use more Ni functions. Btw, I have test my cognitive functions in website, and ther result my Ni, Te, Fi, Ti, and Si function is more deveoped than others (in order with small point difference)

Have you ever met somebody who got in a car accident, ended up with a horrible head injury and was never quite the same person after that? It happened to my dad (literally changed personalities).

How about…have you ever met somebody who underwent traumatising childhood abuse and ended up with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)? Multiple personalities all meshed into one person?

The point I’m trying to make is this. Yes, personality can change drastically as a result of trauma. It happens subconsciously, in a part of our minds that we have little control over. However, I don’t believe it’s possible to consciously change your personality. Continue reading →

Guest Post by Andrew, ENTJ

Pokémon Anime Franchise

Jessie ENTJ | Pokemon #MBTI #ENTJ

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Jessie is a domineering woman who controls her teammates, James and Meowth, with an iron fist.  She is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to snare a valuable Pokemon or several for her boss, and ruthless in her drive to carry them out.  More than James or Meowth, Jessie can separate her emotions from the job she wants (or has) to do; several times, she finds herself in a position where she has to rely Continue reading →

Firefly/Serenity

Simon Tam ISTJ | Firefly #MBTI #ISTJ

Dominant Introverted Sensing (Si): When Simon comes up with a plan, it is meticulous down to the tiniest detail. He likes to gather up the facts of a situation to allow him to more accurately assess what decisions he needs to make. More than anything, Simon trusts to experience. He relies on past memories to give him all the information he needs to come up with the Ariel job Continue reading →

Harold and Maude

Harold Chasen INTJ | Harold and Maude #MBTI #INTJ

Ni: No matter who it is that’s trying, nobody can convince Harold to take the course of conventional lifestyle, and if they try to force it on him, he acts to prevent it. Harold likes to play games with people, testing their gullibility and sense of humour with his suicides. He is obsessive about the world of death, suicide and funerals and spends his free time exploring that world. Continue reading →

Atticus Finch: INTJ

Atticus Finch INTJ | To Kill a Mockingbird #MBTI #INTJ

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Atticus has great foresight when it comes to both the consequences of his actions and of other people’s. He predicts danger to Mr. Robinson and heads to the prison to prevent it. He’s aware of the trial’s eventual outcome long before it presents itself, but goes through with it regardless because of his idealism. Atticus’s long-term vision extends well beyond his own lifetime and into a future in which America is a land of equality, and he proceeds to live the ideals of that future rather than fitting into present moral guidelines. Continue reading →

Viola – Twelfth Night: ESTP

Arvid Walton

Twelfth Night, William Shakespeare

Viola ESTP | Twelfth Night #MBTI #ESTP

Se: Viola uses disguise as a way to avoid dealing with her problems emotionally (the fact that her brother is supposedly dead). Rather, her approach is proactive, an attempt to keep busy rather than introspecting. She’s not afraid of being thrown into a crazy situation, be it pretending to woo another woman or jumping into a sword fight and totally beating the crap out of the guy she’s fighting. She’s really good at acting and judges other people’s thoughts based on what she sees in their expressions. Continue reading →

The Little Prince: INFP

Arvid Walton

The Little Prince INFP | #MBTI #INFP

Introverted Feeling (Fi): The little prince is kind to everyone, the flower, the narrator, the fox and even the conceited man he meets on his journey. The little prince’s emotions are deep and often overwhelming, yet he doesn’t enjoy talking about himself or his feelings. Unlike many, he is independent and doesn’t always feel the need to obey authority. He reacts strongly to anything that he cares deeply about because he’s so emotionally invested. Continue reading →

Toshiko Sato: INTJ

Torchwood

Toshiko Sato INTJ | Torchwood #MBTI #INTJ

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Toshiko is a master at recognising mathematical and behavioural patterns that allow her to figure out how present events will implicate future happenings. Tosh’s plans are intricate, leaving no detail amiss, and they usually work out exactly how she expects. Furthermore, she plans years in advance (consider her goodbye video log following her death). Continue reading →

Sherlock

Irene Addler ENTJ | Sherlock #MBTI #ENTJ

Te: Irene Adler only cares about information insofar as she can use it (“No, but I know what he likes”). She likes to be in control of her life and takes initiative in asserting her dominance over people and situations, be it by removing her clothes and hiding needed information from people or by merely speaking assertively to them. She seeks validation to assure her that she’s in control of Sherlock (too bad for her she’s wrong). She talks through her thoughts out loud in order to organize and understand them and states her opinions directly without sugarcoating anything. Continue reading →

Peter Parker: ISTP

The Amazing Spiderman

Peter Parker ISTP | Amazing Spiderman #MBTI #ISTP

Ti: Peter is good at figuring out how things work and though he can identify how to fix things around the house when they get broken, he doesn’t necessarily take action to do so. He doesn’t express his thoughts outwardly unless asked to do so and then he doesn’t always find the right words to say exactly what he means. Continue reading →

Ebenezer Scrooge: ISTJ

Arvid Walton

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens

Ebenezer Scrooge ISTJ | A Christmas Carol #MBTI #ISTJ

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 →

Valkyrie

Claus von Stauffenburg INTJ | Valkyrie #MBTI #INTJ

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 →
