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 Myers-Briggs personality type (colloquially known as MBTI).

Today, there are many variations on the 16 personalities theory (the most prominent being Myers-Briggs), but all of these theories are based on one original work, by Carl Jung. Carl Jung observed, what we refer to as, “personality types” among the population, but that’s not what he called them. Instead, he referred to these types […]

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a bittersweet anime, focused on the adventure after the adventure. It’s an interesting take that we don’t often see. As a character, Frieren presents like the prototypical INTP, which made her easy to identify. Of course, we made sure to consider other Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI) for […]

in Speculations/Ramblings

In conclusion to my speculation series on Myers-Briggs (often called MBTI) and Enneagram combinations, I give you part 3, the head triad, which I saved for last considering how controversial types 5 and 6 tend to be. If you haven’t read the previous articles, I invite you to check out MBTI and Enneagram Speculations, Part 1: […]

Fern from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is widely recognized as an ISTJ, so this analysis shouldn’t be surprising. We considered multiple Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI) for Fern, such as ISFJ and INTJ, but ultimately landed solidly on ISTJ. The alternate type that we considered the most was INTJ, but the case for […]

in Typing Dilemmas

INFP vs ISFP is an extremely common personality type dilemma, with most people erring on the side of intuition. Of course, there are multiple reasons for that. Intuitive content dominates the internet, which can make it especially challenging for sensors to accurately identify themselves. ISFPs especially seem to have very little content written about them.
