in Typing Dilemmas

INTPs and INFPs share a lot in common, so it’s no surprise that these two personality types are often confused for one another. However, from a cognitive function standpoint, there is a significant difference that separates INTPs from INFPs: namely their dominant and inferior functions. Of course, it’s important to understand that neither personality is […]

Melinda May is typically typed as an ISTP, so this one should come as no surprise. For the record, I did legitimately consider the IXTJs (INTJ and ISTJ) and even ISFP briefly, but ultimately saw a better case for May being an ISTP. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. If you’re interested […]

Stress is something every individual experiences to some degree. Some people live extremely stressful lives, while others experience a calmer existence. Of course, no matter the amount, everyone forms certain coping mechanisms, or ways to deal with stress. However, sometimes the weight of stress can become so extreme that the standard coping mechanisms fail, causing […]

Phil Coulson from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is usually identified as some kind of FJ. Surprisingly, I saw theories for all four: ESFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, and ENFJ. After studying the character, I believe the case is strongest for Coulson being an ENFJ. I strongly considered INFJ for Coulson as well, but I think ENFJ makes more […]

I’ve been in the mood to type some of the major characters that we’re missing from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so here’s Peter Quill, also known as Star Lord, as an ESFP. Peter Quill always seemed like a fairly obvious example of an ESFP, but in this last watch through, I also considered ENFP. Overall, […]

in Personality Theory 101

Analyzing the personality types of fictional characters poses a slightly different challenge than analyzing real people. I’ve seen some people proclaim that it’s much easier to identify the personality types of fictional characters, because real people are so complex. Unfortunately, that statement is usually made by people who overly rely on stereotypes and tropes to […]

Most people assume that Leopold Fitz from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an INTP, which I believe is probably because of his role as a scientist. Initially, I did struggle to latch solidly onto a particular personality type. However, as the show progressed, it became abundantly clear (in my opinion), that Fitz is a feeler, and […]

People say a lot of different things about the INFP personality type, some good and some bad. The reason I felt compelled to write this article is due to one very specific thing that INFPs are associated with. Namely, people often seem to think that INFPs will be chronically depressed, maladjusted, or unhealthy in some […]

Grant Ward from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is most commonly theorized to be an INTJ, which we did consider. However, we believe that Ward is more in line with an ISTJ than an INTJ. Of course, I’m sure some of you reading this might argue that he was only acting like an ISTJ while undercover. Believe […]

Stark from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is typically typed as an ESFP or an ISFP. We considered both of those theories, but ultimately saw more potential evidence for Si and Fe. Based on the information available, we landed on ESFJ for Stark, although ISFJ would also be a valid theory. Hopefully this makes sense. If […]
