in Typing Dilemmas

INTJ vs ENTJ is an extremely common dilemma, whether people realize it or not. In my experience, ENTJs frequently mistype as another personality type, INTJ being one of the most common. Of course, many types mistype as the INTJ, so overall that isn’t surprising. (See 8 Types That Mistype as The INTJ.) However, there are […]

The Netflix series, Arcane, has a variety of characters, with a wide range of different MBTI personality types. However, it’s extremely action-packed, and the only season currently out has merely nine episodes. Of course, while the pace of the show keeps it interesting, it isn’t exactly conducive to typing all the characters accurately and decisively. […]

Determining your parent’s personality type can actually be quite challenging, for several reasons. People’s go-to personality type label for their parents often seems to be one of the SJ personality types (which means ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, or ESFJ.) Of course, this label declaration is typically accompanied by whining about the parent’s narrow-mindedness and strict nature, […]

At the beginning of this year, we published this article with Thanos as an INTJ. However, upon further study, we realized that we made an error.

The NF personality types (INFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP) are known for being idealistic. While Myers-Briggs did sort personalities into groups, this association mostly has a lot to do with David Keirsey, who actually labeled NFs as the Idealists. However, as is common, this has been taken to an extreme. Honestly, that’s why I’m a bit […]

Rush Hour is a series of three movies, with a fourth coming out in 2024. There are two main characters in the show, Carter and Lee. Our focus in this article is on James Carter. Popular opinion puts Carter as an ESFP, which is understandable, but we actually see more of a case for ENFP. […]

Introversion vs Extraversion was the very first article we ever published on this blog. Of course, looking back on it, I cringe. Considering how integral this topic is, I thought it was worth a rewrite, so here we are. People say a lot of things about introversion vs extraversion, in regard to how the two […]

People typically describe the SJs (ISTJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, ESFJ) as having the best memories. At this point, good memory has basically become a requisite for being one of the SJ personality types. There are reasons for this, but as per usual, what was originally a decent concept has been taken to an extreme. In this […]

ISTJ vs ISFJ is not a typing dilemma that you hear too much about, but it’s not definitely not an unusual mix-up. Unfortunately, both of these personality types are not very highly regarded in the typology community, which is why people often mistype as something else entirely. However, there are instances where people are certain […]
