in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Kurapika from Hunter X Hunter is often argued between the ISFP and the INTJ Myers-Briggs personality types (often referred to as MBTI). As you can see, we’ve gone with the INTJ theory for Kurapika.

in Personality Theory 101

This article may make me sound a bit mean, or harsh, or negative… or something. (I’m not really sure where all it’s going to end up going.) However, I periodically get it in my head to share a thought process or perspective in relation to typology. That’s what this is: another perspective. This will probably […]

in Significant Figures MBTI Types

This is a very recently expedited request, so usually it would be published after the other expedited requests. However, since the research is done via a different medium (reading vs. watching),  we were able to work on it at the same time. (Reading opportunities can be distinct from TV watching opportunities.) Since the Dragon Ball […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Naruto Shippuden is a classic anime series with a wealth of identifiable Myers-Briggs personality types (often referred to as MBTI). Suigetsu is a solid example of the ENTP personality type. Continue reading to find out why! The Myers-Briggs Personality Type of Suigetsu Dominant Ne: “I wonder if Sasuke’s okay… What if the first Akatsuki hideout […]

in Speculations/Ramblings

I’ve seen some people say that to help figure out your type, you should write out your use of each of the four functions that you believe yourself to have. The one with the most “evidence” under it will probably be your dominant, and then the rest should have less and less, scaling downwards according […]

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types, Typing Dilemmas

There is widespread confusion in the typology community about how to differentiate Ne and Se. We, at PracticalTyping, have already written an article on how to differentiate the ENXPs from the ESXPs, and another article on differentiating the INXPs from the ISXPs. In both of those, and as a general rule on this blog, we […]

in Function Analysis

I’ve been seeing a trend lately that bugs me so I feel compelled to talk about it in depth. There seems to be this belief among high Ti users, or Introverted Thinkers, (specifically the dominants) that Ti possesses perfect logic and only the perceiving functions feeding it information will cause logical flaws or errors in […]

in Movie/TV MBTI Types

Over the Garden Wall has three main characters with identifiable Myers-Briggs personality types (colloquially known as MBTI). Wirt appeared to be a fairly obvious example of a turbulent INFP. Read our explanation below, and don’t forget to check out our analyses of other characters from this show: Myers-Briggs Types in Over the Garden Wall: Greg […]

in Stereotypes

Ahhh, stereotypes. The bane of typology’s existence. An article specifically about Ti, or Introverted Thinking, stereotypes was requested many moons ago, and I’ve finally forced myself to sit down and start writing it. (Or, if I’m being honest, Ryan strongly encouraged me to.) Here’s the problem with an article about Ti stereotypes: it’s one of […]

in Personality Theory 101

I’d like to share an outlook with everyone. I have no clue how many other people approach typology this way, but I feel like it would do a lot by way of seeing past stereotypes and bias. While I certainly can’t dismiss stereotypes as completely false and the general type descriptions do have value, they […]
