Guest post by Andrew, ENTJ

Pokémon, Anime Franchise

Brock ISFJ | Pokemon #MBTI #ISFJ

Introverted Sensing (Si): Brock has no issue whatsoever with doing the menial but necessary chores around the camp while on his journey, with no help from anyone else.  His knowledge of Pokemon is encyclopedic; he knows the attacks, types, preferred diets, and many other things about a vast number of different Pokemon species.  Continue reading

Scout Finch: ENFP

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

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Scout has an avid imagination. She loves all the differing stories she hears about Boo Radley and is distraught when she finds out that she will no longer be able to read stories with Atticus before bed. She’s quite intelligent for such a young child, and draws wild connections between impossibly unconnected information. She’s able to figure out all sorts of things that she probably shouldn’t be able to (like, who Boo Radley is etc.). She has instincts for understanding people and people-situations that serve to save her Dad loads of trouble. Continue reading

James ISFP | Pokemon #MBTI #ISFP

Introverted Feeling (Fi): James is deeply emotional, but is not particularly good at expressing his emotions.  When he developed a crush on a girl as a child, he told her how he felt in a letter instead of to her face.  Later, when her micromanaging behavior became too much for him to handle, he ran away from home instead of talking through his issues with her.  Although a member of Team Rocket, he strives to balance his own Continue reading

Bard – The Hobbit: ISTP

The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien

Bard ISTP | The Hobbit #MBTI #ISTP

Ti: Bard thinks quickly, silently, and on his feet. He’s analytical and able to make decisions in split seconds by comparing multiple angles in his head. Though he keeps most of his thought process to himself, he’s willing to step up and interrupt when people are getting irrational, and his influence is often able to prevent poor mob-mentality actions. He chooses his words carefully and uses them minimally. Continue reading

Amanda Palmer: ENFP

Amanda Palmer ENFP | The Book Addict's Guide to MBTI #ENFP

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Amanda Palmer doesn’t like to exclude possibilities when she gives explanations and she tends to be accepting of most every type of art she comes across. She sees potential in most everyone and doesn’t believe in tearing other people down with hate or words. She places strong value on maintaining a positive attitude and enjoying the art she creates. She believes Continue reading

Manfred von Richthofen: ISTP

The Red Baron

The Red Baron ISTP | The Book Addict's Guide to MBTI #ISTP

Ti: It wasn’t uncommon for the Baron to ask the uncomfortable questions or assert odd opinions, but most of the time he didn’t really share his thought process with others. He was a man of few words and didn’t particularly enjoy social parties. Continue reading

Misty – Pokémon: ENFJ

Pokémon Anime Franchise

Misty ENFJ | Pokemon #MBTI #ENFJ

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Misty is a bundle of emotion who has no trouble expressing happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, or whatever else she is feeling.  She is also very accommodating to the emotions and wishes of others; even though she bears psychological scars from the constant teasing of her sisters, she helps them out in whatever way she can.  She steps in to star in a last-minute show that they wrote and produced, and when she leaves Continue reading

Mr. Darcy: INTJ

Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen

ESFJ: Why don’t you want to come?

ME: I am the Mr. Darcy of your friend group.

Ni: Mr. Darcy hates crowded places, conventional parties, and pretty much anything that requires him to converse amiably with other human beings. Yet, he has a profound understanding of other people and can size up their character very quickly. He’s rather prideful, but is able to come to terms with his judgements being occasionally inaccurate. His focus is narrow and he prioritizes to prevent the potential tragic consequences that he foresees occurring as a result of current events. Darcy is usually ten steps ahead of the game with regards to knowing what will happen next.  He is always planning for the future and tends to get caught up in his visions as opposed to enjoying the present moment. Continue reading

Dom Cobb: ISFP

Guest Post by Debaparna Das, INTP

Inception

Dom Cobb ISFP | Inception #MBTI #ISFP

Dominant Introverted Feeling (Fi): Cobb represses much of his feeling function so that he can focus more on his professional life using his sensing and thinking functions. He struggles constantly with his feelings of regret, guilt, and grief for Mal, and feels uncomfortable talking about it to others, brushing off Arthur and opening up to Ariadne only when she correctly intuits a good part of his motivations on her own. He resorts to Continue reading

Does Personality Type change over time?

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

Maude – Harold and Maude: ESFP

Harold and Maude

Maude ESFP | Harold and Maude #MBTI #ESFP

Se: Maude enjoys a thrill. She loves to drive crazy, smell things, feel things and do pretty much anything that thrills her senses. She loves to dance and lives to have fun. She’s agile for an old woman and doesn’t have any problem jumping around, stealing cars, shovels and trees right under people’s noses. Her main goal in life is to explore new experience and love every minute of it. Continue reading

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
