How to Get out of the Grip

“Would you please do a post on how to get out of the grip of your inferior functions?”

Hmm, funny. I was going to do a post on this independently of your question (great minds think alike). Actually, forget I said that. Great minds pride themselves on thinking differently.

There are multiple ways you can pull yourself out of your grip functions, but heres the basic method.

#1 Accept that you’re in the grip

It goes without saying that Continue reading

Why I Type so many INTJs

“You’ve typed a lot more INTJs than any other type”

I believe you submitted this comment under the questions section?

Either way, a question was implied, and I will honour your request.

Reason #1 I am an INTJ.

I don’t know your type, but based on the content of your comment, I know you’re not an INTJ. Try to imagine what it would be like if you had Continue reading

Bruno – The Boy in the Stripped Pajammas: ENFP

The Boy in the Stripped Pajammas, John Boyne

Ne: Bruno loves to explore. He loves reading adventure books and prefers fiction to any other type of reading. He’s distracted in his tutoring lessons, and doesn’t pay attention much to anything that seems boring to him. Bruno, though naive and young, can usually tell when there’s something that his parents don’t want him to know about or do Continue reading

Molly Hooper: ENFP

Sherlock

Molly Hooper #INFJ | Sherlock #MBTI #INFJ

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Molly can typically read behind the lines where other people are oblivious. She picks up on subtleties in people’s behaviour that most people miss and comes to conclusions about their inner states of being. Molly relies primarily on intuition to figure things out even though she doesn’t always put two and two together logically. Continue reading

Gale Hawthorne: ENTJ

The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins

Gale Hawthorne ENTJ | The Hunger Games MBTI

Te: Gale doesn’t like to sit by and do nothing when there are things to be done. At times, Katniss finds his rants and plans for changing district 12 annoying and unrealistic (but only because she’s Si-hesitant to act before all the details are worked out). Gale is a strategic thinker even in the starkest situations and when Katniss is leaving for the Games, he’s Continue reading

Han Solo: ISTP

Han Solo ISTP | Star Wars #MBTI #ISTP

Dominant Introverted Thinking (Ti): Han readily points out flaws in other people’s plans. He likes to build things and make “modifications” to the Millennium Falcon. Han always needs to know why before he’ll join a cause, and is good at understanding technicalities. He doesn’t feel the need to rationalise his decisions to others and doesn’t particularly communicate his thoughts and motives very well. Continue reading

A Friendly Note to my Minions

The Book Addict's Guide to MBTI | #MTBIThank you for all of your fantastic, intelligent questions. You all have beautiful minds.

On that note, I promise I’m not ignoring your questions.

They’re not being answered in the same order they were asked because I want to give adequate time the more complicated ones. Easy questions I can simply dump out a response the same day and then put the post in the schedule, but not all questions are that simple. Some require a fair amount of research, so be patient in waiting for them.

In case it wasn’t evident, the queue is very lengthy and growing by the day. I would gladly welcome any help typing –especially with any character marked with an ^ symbol. Those are characters that I won’t personally be typing for whatever reason (most just because I refuse to watch the movies/shows they come from).

I’m a busy person. I’m going to college, working two jobs and writing a book. Any help would be much appreciated.

Please make Requests in the correct location

I know it’s easy to request characters in the comments, but please stop. I like to think I’ve set this system up so it’s easy for you to make requests, but if not, please inform me otherwise.

In the meantime, requests should still be made here: Request a Character

Also, please stop making duplicate requests. I’ve redesigned the queue by combining it with a directory of the characters I’ve already typed. From now on, you’ll be able to look at both the queue of requested characters and those that have already been typed together. Already typed characters will be linked to their respective posts, and untyped characters will simply be listed. So, whenever I refer to the queue, I’m now talking about the Character Directory.

Just to be clear, Ender Wiggin, Jack Harkness, Peeta Mellark and Elisabeth Bennett have already been typed. You can find them in the Character Directory.

Are INTJs Narcissists?

Sue asked: “I have seen INTJ Associated with Narcissistic behaviour. Why is this? It makes no sense when INTJ’s are disinterested in controlling or exploiting other people.”

Simply put: the media is to blame.

I’ve said many times that because people are Continue reading

Harvey Dent: INTJ

Batman Trilogy

Harvey Dent INTJ | Batman MBTI

Ni: Harvey Dent has a singular mission, which he devotes his life and time to fulfilling. He would never leave anything up to chance, though he likes to pretend that he does, but rather, does everything with a purpose and a specific end in mind. He has a strong grasp of irony and Continue reading

Dr. Robert Chase: ISTP

House MD

Chase ISTP | House MD MBTI

Ti: Chase is detail oriented and logical. He doesn’t hesitate to point out when he sees a problem with other people’s logic. At most times, Chase is level-headed and calm. He cares more about details than facts, but when he’s depressed or stressed out, he neglects this dominant trait and makes perilous detail mistakes (that wind up getting him in trouble). Continue reading

Gwen Cooper: ENFP

Torchwood

Gwen Cooper ENFP | Torchwood #MBTI #ENFP

Extraverted Intuition (Ne): After being dosed with Retcon, Gwen is still able to recall her encounters with Torchwood because she’s able to piece together bits of information and thereby connect the dots in her memory. Gwen is able to connect seemingly random pieces of information to figure out how to solve the problems Torchwood faces. Gwen has an intuitive Continue reading

Dr. Jonathan Crane: INTJ

Batman Trilogy

Dr. Jonathan Crane INTJ | Batman #MBTI #INTJ

Ni: Dr. Crane’s focus is specific, narrow. He does not focus merely on psychology, but on an even more specific thread within the field –experimenting on the criminally insane. He easily picks up on other people’s suspicions and is able to foresee dangers to his operations before they are an actual threat. For this cause, he has a backup Continue reading
