Algernon Moncrieff: ENFP

The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde

Algernon Moncrief ENFP | The Importance of Being Earnest #ENFP #mbti

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 →

Youthful Reactions to Unwanted Authority

Arvid Walton 2 Comments

“Can you do a brief overview of how the types would react to authority as kids/teens? Pretty please? :) “

Obviously, I will take the opportunity to exaggerate this extensively.

Help! My INTJ is crying!

Arvid Walton 23 Comments


Bruce Wayne INTJ INFJ MBTI

Question: “I’m in a relationship with an INTJ who’s one of the least emotional people I’ve ever met (I’m an ENFP). He’s usually pretty cynical and calloused, but last night he cried like I’ve never seen anyone cry before and he won’t tell me what’s wrong. I tried to ask him but he then he locked me out of the bedroom and has refused to come out for hours. How on earth am I supposed to handle that? Someone so hard and rational crying is like the most disconcerting and painful thing I’ve ever witnessed.”

Answer: First of all, I’m really sorry you had to witness that. Everyone always criticises INTJs for seeming emotionless, but as soon as they get emotional…people just start to get uncomfortable. Continue reading →

Arvid – Swing Kids: INTJ

Arvid Walton

Swing Kids

Arvid Swing Kids INTJ MBTI

Ni: Arvid has a natural affinity for predicting how the future will play out as a result of current events. He has a huge picture view of the world that allows him to recognise subtle patterns in what is happening around him (such as Nazi control). When other people fail to recognise the same patterns that he does, he grows increasingly disillusioned, and eventually lashes out in anger. He can be a bit arrogant at times, which gets on Thomas’s nerves, causing conflict between them. When he realises that other people lack the visions Continue reading →

Rose MacClare: ESFP

Downton Abbey

Rose McClare ESFP | Downton Abbey MBTI

Se: Rose loves dancing and partying and doesn’t enjoy the slowness of Downton. She wants to live in the moment, doesn’t really plan ahead but doesn’t have a problem with surprises. She is highly stimulated by her surroundings, particularly when the setting is lively and there’s music playing. Rose loves spontaneity and beauty and enjoys a good chance to Continue reading →

ISTJ Stereotypes in “The Imitation Game”

Arvid Walton 4 Comments

ISTJ Stereotypes in

ISTJs are frequently stereotyped as whining, OCD, rule-obsessed intellectuals with no social skills. Either that, or they’re portrayed as evil, emotionless cyborgs with no sense of humour. As someone with a close ISTJ friend, I understand exactly how terrible those stereotypes can be on a person. Unfortunately, such stereotypes are ever present in the media, and have found their way needlessly into the recent film, The Imitation Game. Continue reading →

Edgar Allan Poe: INTP

Arvid Walton 2 Comments

Edgar Allan Poe INTP MBTI

Ti: Edgar Allan Poe was meticulous and methodical in his writing. He had a specific method for everything, and wrote using many a long word (specificity was of utmost importance). Organisation wasn’t his strong suit, but losing jobs was. He was pro at maths while in school (to the point of being known for it), but due to disillusionment and frequency of missed classes, was expelled from West Point. Continue reading →

Ralph Waldo Emerson: INTJ

Arvid Walton

Ralph Waldo Emerson MBTI INTJ

Ni: In multiple of his essays, Emerson focuses specifically on intuition as a source of intelligence, also specifying that for him, it always comes before analysis. Emerson had many very specified focuses, which he was able to obsess over until he had fully fleshed out the ideas to the point where there were few logical fallacies. The structure of his arguments was always such that it’s clear he spent hours Ni-logic-jumping all over the concepts in a chaotic fashion before he organised them into an easy-to-follow Te structure.

My INTJ Movie Tastes

Arvid Walton 6 Comments

Hi this isn’t MBTI related, but I was wondering what your favourite movie is since you’re an INTJ and I don’t know any.

INTJ Movie Tastes

I don’t really have a favourite movie. I just have a very long list.

Many of the movies that I tend to lean towards the most don’t necessarily appeal to the masses as films they’d want to see over and over again (while others do). Continue reading →

Dieter Dengler: ENTJ

Arvid Walton

Rescue Dawn

Dieter Dengler ENTJ | Rescue Dawn MBTI

Te: Dieter cares especially about functionality and specifically asks for his equipment to be customised in order to improve the efficiency. He’s resourceful when it comes to creating tools and originally worked as a toolmaker with the specific intent to learn something “useful.” He refuses the idea of sitting idle in the Laotian camp, and insists on finding an immediate way to take action to escape. He can be quite confrontational, and unusually Continue reading →

Do I take notes when I type characters?

Arvid Walton 1 Comment

“What do you typically do when you’re watching a movie or reading a book and trying to type someone? Do you take notes? Or do you just figure it out in your head?”

It really depends. Sometimes I don’t take notes for anything –I’m one of those INTJs who doesn’t always study and gets an A on the test (or writes the paper the night before it’s due and gets 100% on it). Other times, however, I’ll take extensive notes for a class –particularly in cases where the teacher doesn’t cater to kinesthetic/visual learners. Continue reading →
