Katza – Graceling: ISTP

Graceling

Ti: Katsa’s survival skills are enhanced by her studies and knowledgeability. Katsa’s nature is serious, but her worldview and logic aren’t based on the same logic as the rest of the world’s. She doesn’t always catch on to people’s jokes and tends to take things too seriously. She isn’t afraid to voice uncomfortable questions, as she tends to be rather detached. She doesn’t talk about her thoughts where she doesn’t have to and doesn’t really enjoy social settings.

Se: Katsa tests her body to the limits, and even studies it to understand it better. Katsa is built to survive, be it through the awareness of her physical world or through her physical abilities. She’s impulsive and doesn’t always plan out her actions before she carries them out. She likes new physical experiences and lets himself get carried away with Po.

Ni: She knows perfectly well that she’s capable of killing people by reflex, and to avoid this, she tries to predict her opponents moves. She’s reluctant to trust people at first, and tends to be a bit judgmental. She’s good at pinpointing problems with plans and can visualize what she needs to do to get to where she wants to be.

Fe: She tends to jump to assumptions about people based on stereotypes. She doesn’t want to hurt people, and has to come to terms with her abilities. She tends to repress her emotions and doesn’t really understand them. Instead of facing them, she engages in various physical activities to get her mind off of them.

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

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

Joel – The Last of Us: ISTP

Guest Post by Matt, INTJ

The Last of Us

Joel ISTP | The Last of Us #MBTI #ISTP

Dominant Ti: Joel understands mechanical and logically subjective systems particularly well; his ability to consistently problem-solve in a world without typical constraints like order and social standing ultimately insure his continued survival. He maintains a survivor’s mindset both before and after Sarah’s death, unlike everyone else around him. Ironically enough, his default, unique worldview adapts quickly to the world after the outbreak since it doesn’t really need to do any adapting at all. Joel always finds a way to survive, finding ways to overcome difficulties of both the financial and fungal kind. Another tip-off: Joel rarely ever voices his thought process and doesn’t order his companions around much. He never comes across as domineering or controlling, unlike most extraverted thinkers. Continue reading

Peter Parker: ISTP

The Amazing Spiderman

Peter Parker ISTP | Amazing Spiderman #MBTI #ISTP

Ti: Peter is good at figuring out how things work and though he can identify how to fix things around the house when they get broken, he doesn’t necessarily take action to do so. He doesn’t express his thoughts outwardly unless asked to do so and then he doesn’t always find the right words to say exactly what he means. 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

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

Aragorn: ISTP

Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien

Aragorn ISTP INFJ | Lord of the Rings MBTI

Ti: Aragorn doesn’t talk much about his thoughts, and when he does, he’s always careful to think through his thoughts before he speaks. He has an objective view of the world and is capable of making tough decisions where a others aren’t. At times, he Continue reading

Jean-Francois Mercier – Spies of Warsaw: ISTP

Spies of Warsaw

Spies of Warsaw ISTP MBTI

Dominant Ti: Facts are important to Jean-Francois, but he values the logic of it more. He is put off when the military stops listening to his reports to rely on intuiting, but isn’t perturbed but having to step in and ask uncomfortable questions in order to find answers. Though he often acts based on his emotions, he tends to be rather detached, and often regrets his decisions the morning after. Yet somehow, he’s analytical and detached, even with Continue reading

Dustfinger – Inkheart: ISTP

Inkheart, Cornelia Funke

Dustfinger ISTP | Infheart MBTI

Dominant Ti: Dustfinger is very logical and doesn’t ever share his thoughts with others. The fewer words he says, the better he feels and he gets annoyed by constant chatter. He’s used to being a loner to the point that he doesn’t always recognise that he’s lonely. He shuts other people out at first, coldly telling them to go away. He loves Resa, but when he discovers Continue reading

George – Of Mice and Men: ISTP

Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck

George - Of Mice and Men ISTP MBTI

Dominant Ti: George has is relatively reserved, but has a sharp tongue when he is impatient. His words don’t necessarily wring with love towards Lennie, although they are intended to protect him. He doesn’t particularly enjoy involving his emotions in his decision making process and doesn’t enjoy lengthy explanations. He can take apart the things that people say and determine whether to believe it based on whether or not it seems logical to him. Even though George’s dreams of settling down seem impossible, he never gives Continue reading
