Updates and Current Projects (8-22)
After about a month pause on posting, we’re back. We published 8 Signs You’re Not An ENFP on Monday, and we’ve got a couple more articles ready to go for the following weeks, including 5 ISTP Struggles and Developments Tips and an analysis on Beethoven. I haven’t quite figured out which significant figure we’re going to analyze next, but I’m open to suggestions. Of course, we’d love to get a Paid Request. Ideally, I’d eventually like to get examples for every personality type. We’ve been considering analyzing more current celebrities, like when we did Magnus Carlsen. Some people that I’ve talked to have suggested certain actors, which makes me hesitate because it’s hard to know if an actor is actually ever being real. (Although, certain actors are blatantly obvious for reasons such typecasting, RDJ being the most obvious example.) Anyways, I’m open to people’s thoughts here. What would you like to see?
As for current projects, we’re working on articles for the anime: RE: Zero. I’m currently working on writing up an analysis of the main character, Subaru, and there’ll eventually be a cumulative group article for the series. From a theory article standpoint, I’ll probably be continuing with the Signs You’re Not Series until inspiration shoves me in another direction. My mind has yet to lock onto any other idea in particular, although I really should probably get back to typing dilemmas. ENTJ vs. ESTJ keeps being requested.
That’s it for now. If you’d like to link up with me, I’m on X, Discord, and reddit. I enjoy talking type with people as it helps keep my brain spinning on article topics. I’ll send out a notification whenever this page gets updated. Use the subscribe form on the home page if you want to receive email notifications.

I would be interested the analysis of Maya Angelou’s personality type, theory articles I want to see are ESFP vs ENFJ, ESFJ vs ENFP, or ESTJ vs ENTP, and more. can you delve into the topic in an article about how interests, hobbies, and jobs, or stage of life might possibly influence how someone’s MBTI type might manifest or look different to people? (E.G, SPs are given an active brainstorming role, NJs being fascinated by ancient history or research involving the past, FPs having been raised to adhering to cultural expectations and managing the social atmosphere around them, NPs considering the singular implications of a recurring theme or symbolism, SJs being in a career that requires thinking on their feet and adapting on the fly, FJs having a strongly defined and personal individual values and self-awareness due to learning what feels personally true to them outside of the group and involved in an event that requires expressing themselves and their eccentricities in areas like music, art, and improv, and TJs finding themselves in a scenario where they need to refine their thought process, continually and fine-tuning their ideas, TPs taking into account on verifiable sources of data or concrete systems when objectivity is required, and etcetera.)
Thank you so much for your continuous efforts, I’ve once contacted with you through emails for suggestions, but my mind is obsessed with my top favorite Disney’s Treasure Planet as an underrated treasure, though you only mentioned that you’re focusing on anime right now.
Would that be okay?
Ahh, Treasure Planet. The character with the most ISFP theme song ever.
I’m not against doing something other than anime.
You wouldn’t believe that, but the Arabic dub makes it more emotional when it comes to lyrics.
Actors, you kinda need to watch their interviews and if they do fan conventions that too… also auto biography / biographies. Guess that’s the only things that would point to anything in particular because characters are written by writers and can have different traits then the actors themselves. I know Eric Wen likes to type actors and singers.
Yes, I’m aware
Would you do an MBTI analysis article on characters on Sonic Prime? It’s confirmed canon in the game universe and I want to see your take on their personality types since the characters act more consistently in here. Especially since you did write about the Sonic movie adaptation and Sonic X.
An article series that would cover more relationship and communication tips based on one’s MBTI type would be nice, I hope this gets considered after the ISTP one and eventually lands in the 16 types.
Character-wise, I think it would be fun if you watch TADC and make an article on the characters’ personality types one day. Maybe considering typing the characters Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just to get back on the movie archive?
These are great suggestions. What is TADC?
I think “The Amazing Digital Circus”? I heard the creator’s an INTP and I can definitely see a lot of creator bleed in the series, haha. Like a lot of the focus is on the difficulty of building/maintaining relationships, a lot of characters seem to have insecurities in that regard and the humor and premise is very Ne (like the fact that they’re trapped in a Digital World and the A.I. in charge of the place, Caine, makes adventures for them to go on every week. One had him actually use the suggestion box he forgot about so there were a lot of genres in that episode, haha.)
“We’ve been considering analyzing more current celebrities, like when we did Magnus Carlsen.“
I was still looking for an SFJ celebrity and I was wondering if you would cover the singer Laufey? I heard she’s an ISFJ but I haven’t done a TON of research on her myself yet. I think some evidence I’ve noticed is during a video where she was singing a lyric to “Lover Girl” in a collab she sung “ ‘She’s so perfect!’ Blah blah blah blah…” and I think she laughed slightly at how that sounded singing it out loud? I think the context for that lyric was the metaphorical love interest in the song usually talked to her about his girlfriend and she thought it was boring so I guess that could be considered the slightest bit rude somehow. Might be Fe preemptively anticipating some sort of tension from that. She also says she doesn’t stare too long at fans during concerts or performances so as not to make them uncomfortable which could be like a manifestation of Fe hospitality. Like I said I haven’t done a ton of research so I don’t think I have much on her other possible functions…
“From a theory article standpoint, I’ll probably be continuing with the Signs You’re Not Series until inspiration shoves me in another direction. My mind has yet to lock onto any other idea in particular, although I really should probably get back to typing dilemmas.”
I think maybe something interesting would be talking about how South Korea’s use of MBTI differs from ours? I think they mostly letter type and don’t use cognitive functions but I think the system is pretty big over there, haha.
The patterns you’ve noticed between type expressions and culture.
How does culture influence the way certain types come out and patterns you’ve noticed. I know you had an article on that a while back, but diving deeper into this rabbit hole might or might not strike your fancy.
Or maybe a historical analysis on how these different expressions came to be in the first place.
On celebrities or fictional work :
– Louis Rossman (the youtuber).
– Mark Rober
– Edward Snowden (quite the controversial take I know).
– Characters in Breaking Bad/Better call Saul (if this universe is up your alley).
Wanna thank you guys for all the articles and discussions over the years and hope all is well.
I’m curious to see more real people gradually be discussed like Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Aldous Huxley, and Mahatma Gandhi, Salvador Dali, and Charles Darwin, Nikola Tesla, and Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc. Like what others say, it’s refreshing to see how type and cognitive functions manifest in real life so we can determine whether a person is in an unhealthy or developed state in their life.
Otherwise, I enjoy whatever content you choose to make and I hope you take your time publishing the content you’ve made for us to see.
I wanna see an ESFJ vs ENFJ article (which is similar to the ESTJ vs ENTJ comparison, but it’s more Fe-dom focused). The reason why is because SFJs have the reputation of remembering your dog’s name, birthdays, and memories or details that makes people feel loved and special while I haven’t seen NFJs described in this light despite having the same judging functions. I understand that perceiving pairs value different information despite sharing how they gather it (whether be in the form of subjective impressions or interacting with the outer world). It’s just I gotta feeling NFJs are just as capable of doing that stuff, also Tertiary Se users are seen as adventurous or having impulsive sensory cravings when ESXJs also have a healthy curiosity for the new and novel. Addressing this issue would be nice since there’s also ESFJs who sees their life as a grand adventure.
I also forgot to add that ESFJs might talk about or sees the merit in destiny and symbolism. It’s also helpful to see how other types view those two things compared to NJs so we would get a better perspective.
The last thing I wanna add is that it’s useful to see how SPs and NJs form rituals or see the need behind it compared to NPs and SJs respectively because people tend to stick what’s familiar to them.
Hello! I’ve been enjoying reading your articles and hearing you describe the functions for us that’s easier to understand. Have you considered doing a breakdown of Mister Rogers type? He’s a figure I’ve been keen on and wanted to be brought up.
I also suggest typing characters in Hilda (Netflix series), Matilda (1996 film), and Gravity falls (if it catches your interest in some way). Aside from that, I can’t wait to hear more updates on what you have in mind.
