in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Parks and Recreation is an entertaining show with a variety of characters to appreciate. After watching almost the entire show, I thought it would be fun to discuss the Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI) of the main Parks and Recreation characters. There is definitely some personality bleed happening though, which dissuaded me from […]

Descriptions of Introverted Thinking (Ti) and Extraverted Intuition (Ne) frequently get intermingled or blended together. Perhaps that seems odd, since one is a thinking function and one an intuition function. However, since every person is a mix of four cognitive functions, it happens all the time. As an individual, in my own personal thinking, it […]

If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably realize that we’ve published an article analyzing Aoi Todo before, only last time we theorized him to be the ENFJ Myers-Briggs personality type (colloquially known as MBTI). However, one day, it occurred to use that Aoi Todo’s personality goes completely against what Fe is. He […]

In the Myers-Briggs system (often colloquially called MBTI), those with a “J” at the end of their four-letter type code are judgers, while those with a “P” are perceivers. To most people, Judging (P) vs. Perceiving (P) probably seems rather straightforward. I mean, judgers are the organized, responsible planners, while perceivers are the chaotic, impulsive, […]

Perhaps this seems like an odd question. I mean, everyone knows what an extravert is… right? Actually, extraversion is subject to a lot of misconceptions, because often, it’s the introverts that are writing about it. In fact, in the online world of personality theory, introversion frequently steals the spotlight, leaving extraverts the short end of […]

A few years back, on then Twitter, now X, I saw a character named Dr. House getting some attention within the typology community. At the time, I didn’t pay it much mind, because I’d never watched the show. However, recently, I discovered it on my streaming service, and decided to give the show a shot. […]

I’ve called this a beginner’s guide to the perceiving functions, but maybe “crash course” is more accurate. Here at Practical Typing, we enjoy deep dives into cognitive function theory. We have many articles discussing the finer details of the individual cognitive functions. However, it’s valuable to have articles that paint the big picture, so to […]

Jemma Simmons from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is often identified as either an ISTJ or an ISFJ. I saw arguments for both. I actually almost landed on one of those myself, starting with ISFJ and then ISTJ. However, as the show went on, I started seeing ESTJ as the most plausible theory for Jemma Simmons. Hopefully […]

In the Myers-Briggs system, those with an “S” in their four-letter type code are sensors, while those with a “N” are intuitives. Many people think that the answer to the question “Am I an intuitive or a sensor?”  is obvious, that the differences between sensors and intuitives are obvious. However, in reality, sensing and intuition […]

Daisy Johnson from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is usually typed as an ENFP. However, while watching the show, I struggled to come up with evidence for Ne, beyond the “hacker” stereotype. So, as you can see, I ultimately landed on ESFP for Daisy Johnson. Hopefully this makes sense. Feel free to share your thoughts in the […]
