MBTI: Hero Typing Tropes

Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Guardians, MBTI Idealists, MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags enfj, enfp, entj, entp, esfj, esfp, estj, ESTP, heroes, infj, infp, intj, intp, isfj, isfp, istj, istp, mbti, TV Tropes on 10/05/2015 by Taylor Holt

I had to word the title carefully so as not to make it sound like I was typing “Heroes,” the show and so it wouldn’t so like the other post, MBTI: The Types (of Types) of Heroes. Though I guess any writer who knows how to bring in the readers would have made it sound like both of those posts just to get everybody. But that ain’t me.

If you’ve come here enough, you’ve seen links to what has to be one of the greatest sites on the internet, TV Tropes. Yes, even better than BubbaliciousBlackBubbleButts.com. If that’s a real site, I had no idea. And from TV Tropes and Typing, can come the realization that every type fits well within the confines of some of the many sorts of heroes fiction can bring us. So while we’ve described how each type is represented in the Hero mold, let’s reverse this to see how the Hero mold can fit certain types.

If you see the name, there is a link to it. Continue reading →

MBTI: Inside Out

Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Guardians, MBTI Idealists, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags enfp, esfp, estj, infp, Inside Out, isfj, mbti in fiction on 09/01/2015 by Taylor Holt

Emotions that have emotions? Muh mind is blown! Surprise, Disney and Pixar are still breaking records together with “heartwarming comedies that are fun for the whole family!” And it’s not like it’s all just hype either, their work is pretty much always solid. It should be, right? They spend enough money to afford a small army.

Now we explore the feelings of the feelings. It wasn’t too hard to get a bead on these characters given that the personification of feelings are going to have their own feelings expressed pretty boldly. Continue reading →

MBTI: Can Chewbacca be Typed?

Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Guardians, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags Chewbacca, isfj, isfp, istp, mbti in fiction, star wars on 08/11/2015 by Taylor Holt

The closer the release date of Star Wars is, and the new Battlefront game, the more people ask about Star Wars characters. Coincidence? No.

I’ve done the main cast I think, or at least the ones people really care about. But what about Chewie? And Ponda Baba? Let’s stick with Chewie. He growls and whatever other noises he makes and that’s it pretty much. So surely we can’t. I mean, a dog can have a personality of sorts but that doesn’t mean he can be typed no matter how many times you’ve “jokingly” done it.

But there’s enough to his character that we’ve got to be able to find something there resembling an MBTI type. Continue reading →

MBTI: Jorah Mormont- ISFJ

Posted in MBTI Guardians, MBTI Stuff with tags A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, isfj, mbti in fiction, Ser Jorah Mormont on 06/09/2015 by Taylor Holt

Spoilers! You’ve been warned!

J-BEAR!

It’s funny that ISTP and ISFJ could ever be confused. For the first season or so, Jorah seemed like shoe-in for ISTP. The guy was quiet, somewhat brooding, good with a sword, and only seemed to care about a couple people due to his job. This could be several types but will usually speak to ISTP characters.

But as the seasons went on, more of Jorah’s personality has been able to come out to eventually reveal a more full picture and allow me to properly type Ser Jorah in all his friendzoned glory. Continue reading →

MBTI: Ex Machina

Posted in MBTI Guardians, MBTI Idealists, MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff with tags entj, Ex Machina, infj, intp, isfj, mbti in fiction, movies with androids on 05/12/2015 by Taylor Holt

Spoilers ahead!

I have no choice but to know this is going to be, at the very least, on my Top 10 of the year. With how little has come out that I actually care about, Ex Machina was like an oasis in the desert. Could I see some people being bored by it? Yep. The three people I was in the theater with all were.

But they couldn’t deny it was good.

So here are the types of the few characters there were. It’s always funny to see what types are present as well as missing and how that changes the tone of the film. No Guardians, the show is probably very flexible, maybe a lot of action, no Idealists and people’s morals get flexible, all that good stuff. See what you get from this. Continue reading →

MBTI: The Strongest of Them All

Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Guardians, MBTI Idealists, MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags enfj, enfp, entj, entp, esfj, esfp, estj, ESTP, infj, infp, intj, intp, isfj, isfp, istj, istp, mbti in fiction on 04/28/2015 by Taylor Holt

Been thinking on this one for a while now. Every time a power hungry character is to be typed, types with heavy Te come to mind. But if the character has/gets too much power, it’s possible for them to become impossible to type.

Take Lucy for example. Of the movie, uh, Lucy. Though she starts off a party girl (Presumably ESFP of course), the more her entire brain is being put to use (Bwahahaha) the less you could say she retains her personality because she’s becoming a living computer. By the end, you wouldn’t say she’s INTJ or something because she didn’t evolve into a better type, she transcended type all together.

Well, that’s not what the following is. The following is a collection of types and characters that are the most powerful yet still retain their personalities. Better yet, their powers are actually a great representation of their powers. Hold onto your butts. Continue reading →

MBTI: Animals

Article written in part by Josh. Guy knows his animals.

*Additional animals posted on 4/14/15

Everybody loves animals except people who don’t. With that in mind, I’ve seen a lot of charts and articles relating MBTI types to specific animals. They’re good at times but something is missing from them. And that something is the Zombies Ruin Everything touch.

If there’s one thing better than know MBTI, it’s movies. If it’s not movies, it’s music. If it’s not that, then somewhere down the line is animals which is how we’ve reached this point in my post. Now that the intro is out of the way, let’s get to it. Continue reading →

MBTI: Max Durocher- ISFJ

Posted in MBTI Guardians, MBTI Stuff with tags can't change your type, Collateral, isfj, Max Durocher, mbti in fiction, Michael Mann on 03/02/2015 by Taylor Holt

A perfect example of a character changing through the course of the story without changing their type. 2004’s Collateral not only gave us another display of Michael Mann’s unique way of bringing the crime genre to the real world, it’s also a reminder that as crazy as Tom Cruise is in real life, he can still act.

But we’re not talking about Cruise’s character Vincent, a pretty clear ISTP. We’re talking about Max, Jaime Foxx’s low-key taxi driver that gets put in the unfortunate position of hauling Vincent around LA, for five stops and six murders. And like the ISFJ he is, Max tries to play along as best as he can but there’s only so much anybody can take. Continue reading →

MBTI: Dollface- ISFJ

Posted in MBTI Guardians, MBTI Stuff with tags Dollface, isfj, mbti in fiction, Psychopath, Twisted Metal Black, Typing psychos on 12/03/2014 by Taylor Holt

Oh, did you think all ISFJs were warm and loving nurturers? Think again, pusbag!

Sorry, I let my inner Batman slip out. I think Batman calls somebody a “pusbag” somewhere down the line. Anyway.

Twisted Metal: Black sure did have it’s “twisted” characters. But for the most psychopathic? Well, that’s debatable for sure, with Sweet Tooth always being a header. But the “sweet” and “innocent” Dollface also presented the bizarre and creepy persona of a person who was dependent as they were cuckoo, fitting a mentally ill ISFJ like stretching pants fit Fat Albert.

MBTI: The Groups as a Body

Posted in MBTI Artisans, MBTI Guardians, MBTI Idealists, MBTI Rationals, MBTI Stuff, MBTI Whatever with tags 2014 golden globes, Body Parts of MBTI, enfj, enfp, entj, entp, esfj, esfp, estj, infj, infp, intj, intp, isfj, ISFP hero, istj, istp on 12/02/2014 by Taylor Holt

I can’t say I’m a fan of the different sites that are intent on relating different MBTI types to inanimate objects, or what state each would be. While I’ve got certain articles that are definitely reaching, I’d like to think most of the information I present clarifies what’s already been put forward, and does so in an entertaining, understandable, and informative way.

That being said, instead of relating the different groups to toasters or Wyoming, here’s one way to explain to your friends that just “have to know” about MBTI how the types differ by group. Associating different terms will be easier to remember when they’re paired with something you’re already familiar with. There’s not much to this, but that’s part of the point.

So here are the parts of the body that best fit each group, based on that part of the body’s function to the rest of it, as the groups and their role in society. Continue reading →
