Arvid Walton

Broadchurch

Broadchurch MBTI

Dominant Si: Beth has a very difficult time letting go of Danny (as any mother would), and even considers the idea of abortion because she doesn’t want to feel as though she’s replacing Danny. She is happiest when her family is together, safe and getting along. She doesn’t want to try to figure out how to cope on her own, but rather seeks out the advice of someone who has already experienced the same things she has. She is often either over-trusting or being overly suspicious. Continue reading →

Newsies

Jack Kelly ESTP | Newsies MBTI

Dominant Se: Improv is Jack’s comfort zone. He can usually see when something isn’t working the way it needs to be and can accommodate. He can always back up his decisions with reasons and fi someone else doesn’t have proof to back up their arguments, he won’t believe them. Jack wants to do things. Where David is thinking “No, we’ve got to think about this!” Jack is thinking, “Let’s just do it,” and jumps into action without Continue reading →

INTJ Humor vs ENTP Humor

Have you ever noticed how people who like Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy are more likely to enjoy Doctor Who, Sherlock, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett? This is intuitive humour at its finest.

(Psst! If you liked any of the former fandoms, you should read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell!)

Intuitive MBTI types tend to enjoy wordplay related sarcasm, deadpan and hyperbole, especially NT types. The differences between Extraverted Intuitive (Ne) and Introverted Intuitive (Ni) humour are subtle, but I’m going to attempt to dispel those differences. Continue reading →

Inkheart, Cornelia Funke

Dustfinger ISTP | Infheart MBTI

Dominant Ti: Dustfinger is very logical and doesn’t ever share his thoughts with others. The fewer words he says, the better he feels and he gets annoyed by constant chatter. He’s used to being a loner to the point that he doesn’t always recognise that he’s lonely. He shuts other people out at first, coldly telling them to go away. He loves Resa, but when he discovers Continue reading →

Doctor Who

8th Doctor INFJ | Doctor Who MBTI

Ni: The 8th Doctor intuitively understands people on a deep level within a very short span of time, and often, his understanding is so complete that at times he sounds almost like a stalker (for instance, when he first talks to Grace Holloway). He is a man of vision and can easily recognise potential good and bad paths that people may follow in life. He’s quick to figure out creative strategies for solving problems and is good at logical Continue reading →

Dominant Se: Mark Latimer has to be doing new things in order to be satisfied, which is why he ends up having an affair. He tells his wife that he did it because he needed someone “newer” than her.

Dominant Fi: Coates has a strict moral code, pays close attention to other people’s needs and never violates his principles. He doesn’t care that everyone else has a different view of morality than himself, but continues to live by his principles despite. Doesn’t like to discuss personal issues and deflects such questions where possible. However, he is willing to sacrifice personal information if he sees that it will truly benefit others. Continue reading →
