Imaginative, energetic, and friendly, ENFPs are often the most endearing of fictional characters. These types see life as full of possibilities and adventures that they can’t wait to explore. They make connections between events and data very quickly, seeing random links where others do not. Their focus on the big picture can make them forward-thinking and creative, but it can also mean they trip up over details in the real world. Spontaneous and flexible, ENFPs prefer being innovative rather than relying on a pre-ordained plan. Freedom is crucial to these types, and they will fight being tied down by anyone. When it comes to decisions, they rely on their individual values to guide them.

My only disagreement is that I would type Hiccup as an INFP, as the description for the INFP is like a description for Hiccup:
Creative and contemplative, he looks for meaning over material success. He is driven by his imagination and his hope for a better, kinder world. He values peace quite highly and would rather talk than go in guns blazing. More than anything, he is loyal to his personal values. He gains his perspective of right and wrong from an independent standpoint, rather than looking to society’s rules and agendas (for instance, with the obvious dragon issue). Naturally curious, he is adept at thinking outside-the-box and seeing many perspectives. His lifestyle is flexible, adaptable, and tolerant unless a value is threatened.
Eowyn, however, was perfectly typed. All I need to know that is when Aragorn asks her what she fears and her answer is “a cage.”
Great post!
Hello, thanks for the cool article! I’m curious about the MBTi type of Inspector Jules Maigret, from the prolific author Georges Simenon. Ive read almost all of these books in order, and i love this character so much. He is certainly an intuitive type. I realise these books are probably pretty obscure to most people but asking all the same! Thanks in advance, and thanks for your articles in general 🙂
I just love your blog!
Thank you so much!!
Captain Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek is a classic INTJ and one of my favorite characters of all time 😀
. No and no for Bourne … ISTP is really the trap. Bourne chose an ability improvement program to serve his country. He embarked on a training for a complete de-humanization. He was agreed to lose all his autonomy, all his personnal thinking. To become a machine. He was very cold and very obedient until his past resurfaces despite the programming (Strong Si?) All his abilities are absolutely artificial and do not come from any personal training. ISTPs hate not understanding the process of something (Ti). They want to know how they got an result more than any other (S) type. ISTP is literally impossible for Bourne: ISTJ.
. Yes for Tyler. He is rather ESTP, even if ENTPs recognize themselves in him. His philosophy is based on physical combat, essentially.
For Louise Banks. Well observed. INFJ makes sense indeed.
Fun post. I mostly agree with the ENTP choices. The one I disagree with is the 10th Doctor. I would think the 11th Doctor is more fitting. The 10th doctor always seemed ENFP to me. Either way, both are Ne dominants, but I found 10th to have a more Fi manner to his dress and his reserved nature. He had moments of self righteousness that drive him to break rules. Whereas the 11th wore clothes more acceptable and any unpopular additions (bow ties, fez, cowboy hat) he would try to influence popular thought by saying they were cool (Fe). 11 also would go on logic rants as he analyzed situations always excited by the revelations that came from them.
I think that Harry Potter is more of an ISTP i the books. In the movies he is different, okay (and T and F are very close functions)
Hmm… This is very… Hmm… Well, I won’t bother being polite. This is somewhat inaccurate.
First of all, I would like to address the issue that Harry Potter and Susan Pevensie are very different, and have different personality types from each other.
Susan is probably an ESTJ. Harry’s an ISFP, and doesn’t fit the ISTJ type. He is Feeling and Prospecting, not Thinking and Judging.
ISTJs respect the rules, and hate it when people break them. This is entirely different from Harry, who often breaks the rules throughout the series.
Secondly, I wish to address the mistake you made with Mr Darcy’s personality type. He is an ISTJ, not an INTJ. I can’t stand it when people mix the two up.
~Narcissa Snape
I think Lily in Modern Family is an INTP.
Severus Snape was missed in the INTJ list.
I absolutely loved this post! It was fascinating to see how various fictional characters align with the different Myers-Briggs personality types. It really added depth to my understanding of both the characters and the personality framework itself. I would love to see more profiles or perhaps even some lesser-known characters analyzed in future posts!
