I’ve got one more Harry Potter post on the way, you should get a kick out of it. And by get a kick out of it, I mean you might be mildly pleased and then immediately move on.

Posted in MBTI Idealists, MBTI Stuff with tags Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, infj, mbti in fiction on 06/24/2016 by Taylor Holt
Oh man. Here he is. The INFJ wizard to end all INFJ wizards. Okay, maybe not but still.
When an INFJ sage-like character is written and/or performed well, they can often walk the line of appearing like an ENFJ or even an INTP. Their wise, thoughtful attitudes and friendly disposition can often invoke the better qualities of several other types that seem to go beyond one personality. But nope, there can be only one.

MBTI: Luna Lovegood- INFP or INTP?
Posted in MBTI Idealists, MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags Harry Potter, infp, intp, Luna Lovegood, mbti in fiction on 06/23/2016 by Taylor Holt
To some it may be obvious what the weirdest kid at Hogwarts might be, but examining all the evidence, there’s a pretty good bit to suggest she might be the dreamiest dreamer or the thinkiest thinker. I’m working on making “thinkiest” a real word.
While Ravenclaw doesn’t seem to make too much of an impact on the overarching story of Harry Potter, an introduction to Luna gives us an idea of the type of student that makes up the house. Intelligent, offbeat, and pretty freaking weird. Let’s get into it. Continue reading
MBTI: Snape- INTJ
Posted in MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff with tags Harry Potter, intj, mbti in fiction, Severus Snape on 06/23/2016 by Taylor Holt
A great representation of the INTJ who’s real master plan you never saw coming until it was too late, Severus Snape’s backstory has got to be the saddest in all of Harry Potter lore.
We’ll be going over some aspects to the INTJ they don’t like to talk about until you pretend they don’t understand that side of humanity. What am I talking about? You’ll see. Continue reading
MBTI: Harry Potter- ISFP
Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Stuff with tags Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the, isfp, mbti in fiction on 06/22/2016 by Taylor Holt
This one took me a bit, not gonna lie. But after using my own methodology because I’m just like, so super full of myself, ISFP seems the right fit.
The Boy Who Lived is goes from the little room under the stairs to being the most famous wizard of all time. How does he deal with it? A lot of shrugging, a little bit of self-doubt and a whole lot o’ love.
MBTI: VOLDEMORT- ENTJ
Posted in MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff with tags entj, Harry Potter, he who must not be named, mbti in fiction, Tom Riddle, Voldemort on 06/21/2016 by Taylor Holt
It could have only come down to two choices, right? INTJ or ENTJ. We must have gone over the differences a hundred times by now but there’s always a new way to word it.
Tom Marvolo, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Tom Riddle, You-Know-Who; they’re all named to denote the most evil of evil. The guy who has about as much going for him as Satan himself. But unlike the only other type he could be confused for, the INTJ, Voldemort, once powerful enough, prefers to literally be on the front lines of the battle, making sure he’s seen. Because hiding in the shadows isn’t nearly as much fun as destroying the light head-on. Not when you’ve got the power anyway. Continue reading
MBTI: Hermione Granger- ESTJ
Posted in MBTI Guardians, MBTI Stuff with tags estj, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, mbti in fiction on 06/21/2016 by Taylor Holt
If you had to think of the know-it-all character that actually might know it all, Hermione is a great character. While it may be tough to balance the lead, the funny guy, and the smart one without making any of them too bland and stereotypical, all characters pull off their tropes with unique flair.
Much of Hermione’s traits appear in the form an ESTJ’s would; often times correct, many times difficult to handle. Smart, competent and direct, Hermione shows off some of the best traits an ESTJ character can display. Crazy how often they’re portrayed as the villain but with Te as their first function, it’s no wonder why. Continue reading
MBTI: Ron Weasley- ESFP
Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Stuff with tags esfp, Harry Potter and, Order of the Phoenix, Ron Weasley, The Chamber of Secrets, The Deathly Hallows, The Goblet of Fire, The Half-Blood Prince, The Philospher's Stone, The Prizoner of Azkaban on 06/20/2016 by Taylor Holt
This is a bit of an obvious one, ey?
The bumbling sidekick who isn’t as talented as the main hero? Check? Comic relief? Check. Always willing to put themselves in dangerous situations with hardly any thought to their own safety? Oh yeah. Though his competence still shows through from time to time.
There are plenty of ways to write an ESFP but in stories like these, the funny right-hand man is needed not only for levity in an otherwise dark story, but to give our hero something to bounce off of. Being heroic with no one around is much harder to write than if you have the best friend around who doesn’t mind pointing out how insane the current situation is. That’s Ron. Continue reading
MBTI: Rubeus Hagrid- ESFJ
Posted in MBTI Stuff with tags Chamber of Secrets, Deathly Hallows, esfj, Goblet of Fire, Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, mbti in fiction, Prisoner of Azkaban, Rubeus Hagrid on 06/20/2016 by Taylor Holt
If there’s a trend to be noticed in ESFJ figures of fiction, specifically with male characters, is that they’re just as much likely to give you a semi-painful hug as they are knock your head off with a well-placed punch…that is, if you threaten a loved one.
From The Thing to Baymax, Allen the Alien to Superman, Hagrid seems to fit right into the functions of dominant Fe/auxiliary Si in a way that has him living day-to-day, taking care of those around him. You’d think a half-giant living in a world of magic would be doing more with himself (whatever that might be) but when you’ve got everything you need, why get greedy? Continue reading
MBTI: DC characters are hard to type
Posted in MBTI Whatever with tags dc characters, differences with dc and marvel, mbti in fiction on 10/07/2015 by Taylor Holt
You might have noticed the amount of Marvel characters over DC (or any other company) on this site. There are a few reasons for that. One is that I grew up with Marvel and I’m much more familiar with them. So it’s natural to do more research on top of what I already know to definitively (or at least confidently) type their characters.
But that’s not really it. It has more to do with the style of the way the characters are written, and what sets them apart from other companies in the same industry. Continue reading
