Daisy Buchannon: ESFP

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald

Daisy Buchannon ESFP | The Great Gatsby MBTI

Dominant Se: Daisy loves to experience life. She has a materialistic side of her, which isn’t too strange for a woman living in the jazz age, but this is one of the major reasons that Gatsby uses materialism to draw Daisy to him. She values beauty enough that she goes so far as to wish beauty on her daughter over brains. Daisy is rather impulsive, and doesn’t always think about the consequences of her decisions. She enters a relationship with Continue reading

Dr. John Watson: ISFJ

Dominant Si: John has a difficult time getting over the past. Two years after Sherlock’s death, he is still grieving, and even after years away from Afghanistan, he still thinks of himself as the same army doctor. He is initially drawn to Sherlock because being with him brings back experiences from the war. You could almost say his past has made him who he is today… He needs evidence to believe, which is why he continues to ask Sherlock to Continue reading

Hamlet INTJ or INTP?

“I saw that you changed Hamlet from an INTP to INTJ. I’m assuming there’s a reason for that?? Also, you said a lot of people type him as an INFP? Could you elaborate on why you’re against that? Could he perhaps be an INFJ?”

F vs T

Hamlet is the ultimate Elizabethan emo kid. He’s a teenager who suffers from an undiagnosed mental condition that affects his hormonal balance separately from his personality.

Inexperienced typers are often oblivious to the reality that depression is an illness, not a personality trait. As a result, most people assume that Hamlet is an F-type. However, one can be very logical (as Hamlet is) and yet have surging emotions as a result of depression.

My analysis of his Meyers-Briggs type Continue reading

Doctor Who

11th Doctor ENTP Doctor Who MBTI

Dominant Ne: The Eleventh Doctor is all about discovering new things and isn’t concerned to put his life in danger in order to do so.

He can pull seemingly unrelated strings of information Continue reading

Death – Discworld: INTP

Discworld Series, Terry Pratchett

Discworld Hogfather Death INTP MBTI Dead

Dominant Ti: Death doesn’t rely on his own emotions to go about solving problems. He understands how the world works and prefers to work from behind the scenes to fix it. At the same time, if he doesn’t have to fix it, he won’t. He is a man personification of few words, and doesn’t talk any more than he finds absolutely necessary. He gets annoyed at length emotional rants (Rincewind) and prefers a simple, rational approach to everything. He doesn’t like to take sides, and has a bit of trouble with conflict, especially when Continue reading

Ninth Doctor: INFP

Doctor Who

9th Doctor INFP ISTP INTJ MBTI DOCTOR WHO

Dominant Fi: The Doctor doesn’t believe that morality should be enforced, but always gives his enemies the opportunity to choose, often at great cost to him. He discards personal questions and refuses to spill anything about his inner-self. Nine has more difficulty dealing with interpersonal conflict and moral choice than most of the other regenerations. He doesn’t like anything to get “domestic,” and doesn’t always have an immediate response to emotional jabs. He is quick to deal out punishments when he or people he loves Continue reading
