in Anime MBTI Types

Tobio Kageyama from Haikyuu!! is an example of the ESTJ Myers-Briggs personality type (often referred to as MBTI). Previously, I had identified him as an ENTJ, partially because I didn’t watch far enough into the show to really see the Si. I just saw an overwhelming amount of Te, causing me to quickly label him […]

ESFJs have a lot of negative stereotypes associated with them. Unfortunately, that’s often the case with sensors and SJs specifically. (Check out Bias and Misconceptions: How NJs Stole Perception from the SJs) ESFJs probably have the least amount of representation in the MBTI community, along with the ESTJs, because ESFJs who are into personality theory […]

TPs (meaning INTP, ISTP, ENTP, and ESTP) have gained the reputation of being rule-breakers, but why is that? Is there any substance to it? Oftentimes, I see people use rule-breaking as a reason for them being a TP, rather than another type, such as an FP. However, is that really a fair association? Does breaking […]

in Personality Theory 101, Typing Dilemmas

In the Myers-Briggs system, those with a “T” in their four-letter type code are thinkers, while those with a “F” are feelers. Some people think the difference between thinkers and feelers are obvious. After all, thinkers think and feelers feel, right? Thinkers are rational and feelers are emotional, right? Unfortunately, thinking vs. feeling is not […]

If you’ve been studying personality theory for any length of time, maybe terms like “gripping” and “looping” came to mind when you read my title: “6 States of Personality Type Development.” If that’s the case, you’re not wrong. Those are included in this article. However, there are states beyond just those two. For instance, here, […]

in Announcements

After watching the personality test results roll in for the past month, we have a list of updates to make. (This is why we like to emphasize that it’s still in beta.) Of course, my urge is just to obsess and obsess over perfecting the test, but that’s not practical. After all, the test will […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Beth Harmon, from The Queen’s Gambit, is almost exclusively typed as an INTJ, although there is a small group that theorizes ISTP. After watching the series, I decided to put forward my take on this character’s Myers-Briggs personality type (referred to as MBTI). I will share my conclusion somewhere farther down the page. First, I’d […]

Isn’t this all just pseudoscience? Does it really have any value? Am I just spinning my wheels over some pointless, useless theory? Should I just give up on personality theory altogether and move on with my life? There are a wealth of personality theories out there, such as Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, Socionics, etc. There are so […]

in Anime MBTI Types

Attack on Titan has a variety of characters with a wide of range of Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI). Back when we first watched Attack on Titan, I read an interesting theory that posited that Jean Kirstein is an INTJ. I latched onto it a little too quickly, because, well, it was interesting. […]

People constantly question if their personality type can change, especially those who are new to the theory. They’ll say something like this: “Last year, when I took a personality test, I got INFP, but this year I got INTP: did my personality type change?” Of course, you can insert any variation of personality types, time […]
