Si: Commitments are important to Wilhelm, and he frequently judges others against socially accepted standards. Until late into the war, his pragmatism comes before ideals. He prefers to take approaches that he is familiar with, and is uncomfortable when he realizes that experience isn’t going to help him in this war. He cares about Continue reading
Fi: Rachel has a strong internal moral code, which she lives, and often expects Bruce Wayne to live as well. Her moral counsel has a huge impact on Bruce Wayne’s life. She has a strong desire to help other people and finds her work as a DA personally fulfilling. She has a difficult time dealing with Bruce’s lower Fi need to keep secrets and hide Continue reading
Ni: Flannery O’Connor was incredibly focused. All of her stories basically have the same message and focus on the exact same topic: redemption. But her interest in religion was not simply a focus –it was an obsession. Her stories accentuate a deep understanding of human nature. Continue reading

Fe: Alfred is the one person who never ever ever gives up on Bruce. He’s aware of other people’s feelings, but not always able to express his own. He’s able to motivate Bruce when he’s at his lowest points, but also has the tendency to give advice where it isn’t needed or wanted. He would rather hide an unpleasant truth (such as an I-found- Continue reading
So you’re new to the Meyers-Briggs theory. You’re totally clueless and looking everywhere for an extremely simplified explanation of the Jungian cognitive functions.
Guess what, you came to the right place!
Welcome to the watered down method for telling the difference between MBTI functions. Keep in mind that it’s not a method you want to rely on long-term, as it’s always best to learn as much as you can about the MBTI theory. However, this does happen to be a great way to get started on identifying the cognitive functions, so here we go. Continue reading
Te: Bryan is a man of action, and not the spontaneous kind –precise, calculated action. He likes to schedule out his life (and other people’s) and prefers to have a plan for everything. His decisions are rooted in logic, and he can set aside emotion to do what is necessary in tough situations. In any crisis, his first response is to root out the most direct Continue reading
Question: “Hello Mr. INTJ. I am an INFP. On the net, I always find that some of the famous authors, actors, writers, artists, music composers are INFPs . But I have never found a single famous military leader, politician, athlete, player, scientist (except Einstein), sci-fi writer in the list of INFPs. All other personality types have some or more of these ranges. Even ENFPs have some world class leaders (though shown in the dark side on celebritytypes.com). In the list of INFPs there are some who have committed suicide. On the other side there are people who have committed mass homicides in other personality types. Why are INFPs always so meek in their behavior? Why are we not as outgoing as other types? I even found on the net that INFPs are the economically the poorest of all types. I will be thankful to you if you put some light on this topic. I know you can understand what I mean to say. So please answer my question as soon as possible.”
Answer: Hello Mr. big questions. I interrupted the queue just to answer this one, so first off, I’ll give you some NFP scientists to make friends with. Michio Kaku and Brian Cox are my two favourites. Go and look them up.
I can tell you right off the bat why ENFPs are more likely to be famous leaders than INFPs. It’s merely because their Te is higher up in the function hierarchy than INFPs.
As to INFPs always being meek? Actually, no, they’re not. Continue reading
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): If she had her way, she would fantasise all day long about knights in shining armour. She loves to sensationalise all her visions of reality, adding an entire imagined history to her relationship with Algernon. She loves stories of any kind and gets excited when she learns that Miss Prism has written a novel. She prefers fiction to reality. Cecily is witty (classic Wildean epigram talker) and determined. Continue reading
Each of the 16 Types has:
Each of these functions has two subcategories, extraverted and introverted, of which your type will have only one. Continue reading
Introverted Intuition (Ni): Sophie can visualise what she wants, devise a method of getting it and go after it until she achieves it. She loves ideas and new experiences and enjoys trying to solve puzzles. She’s intuitive enough to figure people out and impress them and one of the few who can catch on to Stanley’s mode of thinking. She’s able to argue against Stanley and find flaws in his logic where other people are intimidated and clueless. Continue reading

“Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” (either the 2010 movie or the original stories)”
Alright, somebody requested Alice a looonnnng time ago, and I owe it to you to explain why I haven’t typed her yet. I’ve been skipping over her for a time while letting her stew in my mind a bit, the reason being that she happens to fall into the caricature category.
Her character traits aren’t character traits so much as archetypes.
I promise, I will get her typed, but until then, just be patient.

Ne: Algy has a big imagination which he implements into his daily life. Both he and Jack invent fictional identities, but Algy’s has a creative name, and he talks about him with dry sarcasm. His imagination makes him the perfect match for Cecily. He emotionally invests himself when listening to Cecily’s fantastical diary, and gets upset when she tells him she broke off their imaginary engagement. To be perfectly honest, it seems as though Continue reading
