Wednesday: Wednesday Addams: INTJ 5w4

Myers Briggs: INTJ

Ni: Wednesday processes everything around her through her intuition- she follows hunches about the case, like looking into the Gates family mansion, Crackstone’s Crypt, etc. Wednesday quickly sizes up everyone around her as soon as she meets them, often reading between the lines to poing out what they’re really thinking. She always prefers to follow a plan before leaping into action, but can be quite reckless when pursuing a lead if it will get her closer to the truth. She trusts her visions despite everyone else saying they’re unreliable, because she kust knows they’re true.

Te: Wednesday is often very blunt to those around her. She never sugarcoats her words when arguing a point to someone, instead stating the facts as she sees them. She is efficient and pragmatic, and distrusts her own emotions. Wednesday finds it hard to admit to herself she has feelings for (SPOILERS) Tyler, only acting on these feelings after trying to ignore them for much of the season. Wednesday is not hesitant to point out her intuitive conclusions once she’s reached them, often times being perplexed by the offense taken by others.

Fi: At the end of the day, however, Wednesday is capable of deep emotions, displaying a protective nature over Pugsley by trying to get him to toughen up after her father’s arrest. She goes to great lengths to prove her father’s inocence, despite not always expressing how deep her love is for her family. She cares a great deal about Enid, expressing protectiveness over her multiple times despite trying to present an unemotional façade.

Se: Wednesday can be impulsive at times, and this impulsivity often puts her and her friends at risk. She does better in the mental world as opposed to the physical, but is skilled at certain physical tasks she devotes herself to, such as fencing and archery. She doesn’t live in the present, instead living in her own mental world, turning every problem into a puzzle to solve.

Enneagram: 5w4

Wednesday is a teenage author and the protagonist of her three unpublished novels, Viper, mirrors how she views herself- a “girl detective” like Wednesday who is “smart, perceptive, chronically misunderstood.” This describes Wednesday perfectly. She views herself as smarter than those around her, able to make connections others miss due to her own unique form of intelligence. She feels like an outsider, a central theme of the show, because of how perceptive she is. She has a tendency to pull away from others, withdrawing into her own mind to solve her problems. She relies on her intellect for any puzzle she comes across.

Stranger Things: Max Mayfield: ISTP 6w5

Myers Briggs: ISTP

Ti: Max is very analytical. She understands how things work in the world around her, and applies that logical understanding to the Upside Down. She quickly figures out how Vecna’s curse works based on the files she reads, and despite not being a “nerd” like her friends, often surprises them with logical insights. She makes logical, impartial decisions, even risking her life selflessly, because she knows it is the best course of action. She always argues based on logic as opposed to emotion when convincing her friends of her point, even in emotionally charged situations. She’s good at “hacking” different aspects of the Upside Down with her Ti- like using the Sauna Test on Billy when he’s possessed by the Mind Flayer.

Se: Max is very impulsive and trusts her gut. She lives in the moment, pursuing what she wants and not thinking about future repercussions, like when she takes Jane to the mall in Season Three. She does, however, fall into a Ti- Ni loop in Season Four, not living in the moment and withdrawing inward. She is very physically active and enjoys skateboarding. She is practical and more interested in the immediate world than her “nerdy” friends, preferring to improvise than to learn the theoretical explanations of the Upside Down.

Ni: Max likes to develop a plan before leaping into action. She uses her internal logic to assess the situation first, then formulates a plan using those same Ti hacks. She’s good at laying out a detailed plan for how to solve any Upside Down related problem, coming up with clever, creative solutions. She is intuitive about the Upside Down and good at drawing conclusions from the available information about Vecna’s plan.

Fe: Max is selfless and willing to sacrifice herself to save her friends and the world. She doesn’t find it easy to open up to people, especially after the trauma she experiences, but finds it helpful to work through her emotions with Lucas when she feels ready. In season two, she is hurt when her friends don’t tell her things about the Upside Down, because she wants to feel part of the group. She wants to be on the same page as her friends, and is upfront about her feelings in order to do so.

Enneagram: cp6w5

Max values her friendships above everything. She tries hard to be accepted by her friends, and is always loyal to them even when it’s difficult. She faces issues head on, looking to solve problems with the help of her friends rather than running in the opposite direction. She is cautious and likes to gather data before making a decision, using knowledge to help her solve problems.

Jamie Campbell Bower:

Quicktype: INFJ 4w3

Observations on myers briggs: He accurately predicts the show- he knew Vecna was the main villain before it was confirmed to him, which indicates Ni. Tends to unify everything he does- music and acting, indicating convergence of Ni. He is very intuitive about getting inside his character’s heads- NiFe. He is very personable and polite- Fe. He is methodical in his roles- Ti. He mentions having finally found a good work/ life balance- maybe struggles with living in the moment so inferior Se is likely. Se could be developing with age, he is in his thirties.

Observations on enneagram: He is very individualistic, authentic, identity based despite being Fe, which is why he is often typed as INFP but I see clear auxiliary Fe. He is sensitive and emotional, good at getting in touch with dark side for his roles. Sounds 4w3 to me, he is also very charming and socially conscious. Could have a 7 fix somewhere because he is a very positive person in interviews, reframes things to be more positive in a activity-/ fun- oriented way.

Just updated the blog- now that the holidays are over I should be posting more frequently. Will also have some changes to the blog- I’ll be starting making posts that are more theory- based. Hope you had a happy New Year and Christmas!

Stranger Things: Jane Hopper: ISFJ 6w5

Myers Briggs: ISFJ

Si: Jane has a deep connection to her past. She idealizes her friends and holds on to them even when they are apart, wearing clothing she got from them in her new life in California, where she is struggling to make new friends. She does struggle with amnesia, but has a strong connection to what memories she has, like her memory of her mother, forming an idealized image of her mother in her head despite not having interacted with her more than once, showing signs of latching onto one of her only emotionally significant memories that she has.

Fe: Jane is very focused on helping those she cares about. She defends Mike and his friends any time they are in danger, even if it puts her at risk. I originally typed her as an ISFP, but she cares too much about fitting in when she goes to California to be Fi. She doesn’t seem to mind trying to change herself to be accepted, even lying to Mike about making friends to save face, which an Fi user would see as inauthentic. She is very selfless, which plenty of Fi doms are, but she always seems to be doing everything for others and not herself, save for when she seeks out her mother. She’s very outwardly emotional and not afraid to say what she feels most of the time. She wants to fit in very badly, and tries hard to get Angela to like her, something an Fi user wouldn’t do- they would see this as going against their individuality. She is different and unique, but not because she wants to individuate herself or stand out. She wants to be accepted, but lacks the social experience to do so, which does not necessarily indicate Fi.

Ti: Jane puts all others’ needs ahead of her own, like when she tells Mike she is doing well in Lenora Hills because she knows it will make him happy. She doesn’t realize the Ti ramifocations, like what would happen if caught in a lie when Mike notices contradictions in her story. That isn’t to say she isn’t smart. She learns fast for someone who has amnesia, having forgotten most of what she learned as a young child due to her trauma she had experienced at age eight. She takes in everything she learns, bringing it all into her worldview, relearning a lot of the things she lost.

Ne: Jane can be overly reliant on idealizing the past, to the point of overstimating her ability to adapt to new scenerios. In California she tries to start over, but struggles to adapt to a new environment. She doesn’t have experience socially, and struggles to fit in. This could lead to arguments that she is Fi due to struggling to learn social values, an Fe strength, but Jane’s situation on Stranger Things isn’t somethinh a normal Fe user would. Jane lacks experience in a normal social environment, which could cause even a high Fe user to struggle socially. Jane understands the emotions of others very well, she simply struggles with adapting to new environments, indicating low Ne, not the absence of Fe. Jane also seems very prepccupied with the past when she does her historical heroes project on Hopper at the beginning of season four, choosing to focus on an important memory instead of living in the present. She struggles to let go of her past life, which is why she wears the clothes from her friends to keep a reminder of happy memories with her in the present.

Enneagram: 6w5

Jane has a strong desire for security. She is loyal to her friends and will do anything to protect them because they offer her another kind of protection- they care about her and show her compassion that Dr. Brenner had deprived her of at Hawkins Lab. Jane is always there for her friends- she goes to great lengths to keep them safe because they make her feel a sense of belonging. She tries to fit in at Lenora Hills High because of this need to belong, and is devastated when she does not have friends besides Will because of her 6’s desire for security through friends. She always sought security through friendship, from when she first met Mike and his friends, looking for people to make her feel loved. In return for this love, she offers her own love and uses her abilities to stop threats from the Upside Down to her friends. She is self reliant like a 5 wing, giving her an independent streak along with a possible 8 fix in her tritype- she is prone to anger and openly expresses it when threatened, and is very reactive. She struggles with feeling different, which might be a 4 fix, especially because she is highly emotional and reactive.

The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones: Jace Wayland: ISTP 8w7

Ti: Jace tells Clary, “I’ve been hunting demons all my life and in that time I’ve never seen an angel.” Jace believes in logic and evidence, and doesn’t believe in anything he sees as illogical. Jace tells Clary that he sees music as having “no room for emotion”- he sees it as a system with a practical use, for killing demons. He describes the components of music- describes the “mathematical combination” of rhythm, “a simple representation of notes- no interpretation” to “expose demons.” He knows how it works on a fundamental level and this knowledge allows him to use it to his advantage. He factors logic into all of his decisions- he brings Simon along to get Clary to trust him, and for the same reason saves Luke’s life at Clary’s request- not because it is what he wants or is the moral thing to do, but because it serves logic.

Se: Jace is impulsive and acts in the moment. He trusts Clary and Simon based on gut “impulse” because he sees Clary’s potential and realizes that allowing Simon to come along will convince Clary to trust him. Jace is skilled in combat and does most of the fighting throughout City of Bones, relying on instinct in fights. He knows how to manuever his body and is a graceful fighter with fluid movements.

Ni: Jace prefers instinct over planning, but is still very intuitive- he can sense that he can trust Clary right away, but sometimes misinterpets the thoughts and emotions of others, like when Clary explains her kiss with Jace to Simon, and Jace takes it as meaning that the kiss wasn’t “special” to Clary, relying on an immediate interpretation of what is right in front of him, which he believes is more logical, as opposed to reading between the lines.

Fe: Jace can be blunt and stoic, and at times seems unemotional because he prefers to trust logic in his decision making. He tells Clary when she asks him to save Luke- “he’s a dead man, I can’t help him.” He wants to be practical and get Clary to safety, but realizes it is more logical to help her to earn her trust, and also because he cares about her feelings and knows Luke is important to her.

Enneagram: 8w7

Jace, in Clary’s words, “acts like nothing ever hurts him.” He places a lot of importance on being “strong,” because the man who raised him enforced that idea to him his whole life. Jace is also a shadowhunter, a job that doesn’t allow him to express vulnerability- he can’t allow himself to feel. He tells Clary when talking about training an animal that his abusive father then killed- “I cried all night and then I never cried again.” Jace believes there is no room for emotion in his life- he believes his own strength is what enables him and his friends to survive. He is strong to protect them, always saving those weaker than him from danger. His 7 wing is impulsive and he is double feeling repressed- he never fails to act on a goal when he needs to. He lacks the passivity of a 9 wing but seems to have a fun loving side he only shows to Clary.

Been very busy with the spring semester and then an accelerated summer course. Will be updating my blog this summer, going to start typing celebrities and explaining the theory behind different systems more. Questions are welcome.

The Originals: Lucien Castle: INTJ 3w4

Myers Briggs: INTJ

Ni: Lucien is primarily focused on the future and bringing about the end of the Mikaelsons. He spends a thousand years planning his revenge against the Mikaelsons, and thinks every part of his plan through. He is intuitive about people and quick to guess what they’re thinking or what they’ll do next. Everything he does is to accomplish his Ni vision- he wins Klaus’s trust by saving his life, only to later betray him, and manipulates those around him to achieve his greater goal.

Te: Lucien takes steps to accomplish his Ni driven goals and is very efficient. He is quick to point out flaws in other’s logic and becomes frustrated with ineffiency. He has strong willpower and knows how to make his vision come to fruition. He is logical and makes decisions based on efficiency and his own goals. He is blunt and to the point, not sugarcoating his words unless he wants something from someone.

Fi: Lucien cares about few, specifically Aurora. He defends her after Klaus breaks up with her, naiively believing she loves him despite her indifference. He hates Klaus and his family for Elijah’s compulsion and for feeling superior to him. He hides these feelings until he has the opportunity for revenge. He keeps his emotions inside until he has the opportunity to act on them.

Se: Lucien has a taste for the finer things in life and frequently parties. He has no problem acting on his plans once he’s thought them through, but prefers to plan before rushing into action. He is not impulsive like Klaus, an ENTJ, but thinks things through and often cautions Klaus to show restraint, which is why INTJ seems more likely than ENTJ. He is also primarily motivated by his Ni vision, and efficiency is secondary to that for him, whereas Klaus’s primary focus is on efficiency and getting things done, cutting corners to get there faster even if it means acting more impulsively sometimes.

Enneagram: 3w4

Lucien strives to be the best, and finds his sense of worth in having earned money. Deep down he feels inferior over having been born to a lower class, but overcompensates for these feelings by acquiring power both socially and by becoming more powerful than the Mikaelsons. Lucien is charming but all of his goals are based on his personal feelings related to being mistreated for being different to the upper class people he served. He felt disadvantaged and insecure about his social status, embarrassed by feelings of failure and weakness. He wants to achieve things so he can prove to others that not only is he as worthful and as capable as them, but that he can do even better.

Temperament: Choleric Sanguine

Lucien is a results driven person. He is the CEO of a company and has a natural ability for leadership. He is frustrated with inefficiency and is extremely pragmatic. (Choleric) He is also charismatic and sociable, which can make him seem like an ENTJ instead of an INTJ. He likes to charm people, especially to get what he wants, and he is very much fun- loving and enjoys letting loose. (Sanguine)

Scream: Billy Loomis: INTJ 6w5

Myers Briggs: INTJ

Ni: Billy plans out every step of his revenge plan in detail- from kidnapping Neil Prescott, to messing with Sidney’s emotions leading up to the eventual big reveal. He plans to kill Sidney exactly one year after he killed her mother, all part of his vision for revenge. Billy is analytical and sees connections between horror films and real life, and uses his understanding of these films to plan his murders. He relies too much on planning and when his plans go wrong, becomes angry and violent because he can’t act in the moment.

Te: Billy is efficient and knows what steps are necessary to achieve his vision. He plants evidence to pin the murder on Neil Prescott, and kills Tatum Riley to get her out of the way so he can focus on Sidney. He even sets himself up to look guilty initially, only to have a clean cellular record so he can clear his own name of any further suspicion.

Fi: Billy is not expressive and prefers to work through his emotions inwardly. His entire revenge plan is based on his own emotions. He kills Maureen Prescott because of how it affected his family life, and how that impacted him emotionally. He has a lot of unexpressed, pent up rage.

Se: Billy is not so good at acting in the moment when the plan goes wrong. He is better at planning ahead. As Ghostface, he is quick with his reflexes, and his Ni insights allow him to stop his victims from getting away.

Enneagram: 6w5

Billy’s motive for killing is lack of security in his family. He blames Sidney and her mother for his mother leaving after his father’s affair. He is analytical and inquisitive, and sees the world in a unique- but twisted- way due to his obsession with horror movies.

The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen

Myers Briggs: ISTJ

Si: Katniss is very focused on the past. She has a detailed internal map of past memories she relies on and uses that to hunt for food in the wilderness, and later to survive the Hunger Games. She is good at recalling stories of her life down to the smallest detail. Her life experiences are very important to her and shape how she views everything in the world.

Te: Katniss is efficient and practical. She is resourceful while hunting and good at using reasoning to figure out what Haymitch wants, which is why she is able to survive the Hunger Games. Whenever Katniss comes across a problem, she uses her auxiliary Te to find the solution. She is good at thinking through problems, and figuring out the logical course of action whenever something doesn’t go as planned.

Fi: Katniss has a strong sense of right and wrong, despite wanting nothing to do with the revolution in the beginning. She goes from believing nothing will ever change to realizing that she needs to do what she can to help the people of Panem. Her Fi develops more as the trilogy progresses, causing her to stand up for what she believes in more and make a difference. Katniss also holds few people close to her heart, especially Prim. She is more focused on having meaningful connections with a few people than making people like her.

Ne: Katniss is focused on the way things already are, not what could be. She initially believes that Panem will just always be unjust, until Gale convinces her that she needs to step up and help the people of Panem. At this point, she begins to realize there is hope for the future, and becomes a catalyst for change.

INFJ Grip Experience In Fiction: Camille O’ Connell From The Originals

After Cami becomes a vampire, she begins struggling with feelings of insecurity about her physical abilities to defend herself against more experienced vampires. Cami becomes hyperaware of her lower Se, and tries to overcompensate with the impulsive strategy to steal Klaus’s white oak. She doesn’t think through her plan as well as she normally does, and impulsively acts to get her dark objects back despite Vincent telling her it puts a target on her back. In the end, a witch steals the white oak, and Cami realizes what she did was wrong and goes back to her Ni being in charge.

In addition, Camille begins to see Klaus as a scapegoat after he takes away her dark objects, blaming him for her weaker connection to Se. She becomes cold, calculating and fearful that she won’t be able to protect herself from Aurora if she escapes, or from other, more experienced vampires. After Cami comes out of the grip of Se, she sees that what she did was wrong, and begins to use her functions in a more healthy way again.

The Originals: Camille O’Connell: INFJ 1w2

Myers Briggs: INFJ

Ni: Camille is extremely analytical and intuitive about people. She is good at reading between the lines and figuring out what people are thinking or feeling. She is a good strategist and thinks things through. She always develops a plan before acting.

Fe: Cami is openly expressive of her feelings and is very compassionate. She believes that people are good, but she still has a realistic view of the world and the darkness that exists inside of people. She cares about social norms and is quick to remind Klaus of them when he breaks one of those rules.

Ti: Cami is logical and impartial. She is good at noticing other people’s logical inconsistencies. She is very inquisitive and theoretical. She takes a systematic apprach towards her own darkness as well as Klaus’s and everyone around her. She is generally rational and level headed when making decisions.

Se: Cami is not the best fighter, and uses her ability to plan and strategize to overcompensate for this. When Klaus takes her dark objects, she takes the white oak because she believes the only way to protect herself is to have an advantage against her potential adversaries, vampires that are stronger than her. She appears to be in the grip of Se, acting impulsively to try and protect herself due to her anxiety about her physical abilities.

Enneagram: 1w2 Tritype 162

Cami is very principled and perfectionistic. She believes in the goodness of people and hopes to bring out Klaus’s kinder side and help him become a better person. She is ambitious and disciplined. She takes care of her friends and wants to be a good, loving person. When she becomes a vampire, she disintegrates to 7 and becomes much more impulsive and less perfectionistic. Cami wants to be a good person, and is terrified of her own inner darkness and attraction to Klaus because of this darkness. She is afraid she will end up like her brother before finding out he was hexed, and studies psychology to understand her own darkness after assaulting a man in college.

Attitudinal Psyche: LEFV

1L Confident Logic: Cami is very inquisitive and theoretical, relying on logical frameworks in psychology to understand the world around her. She believes in objectivity and logical consistency. She becomes frustrated when others behave in an irrational way and is a very logical person. She believes in a logical explanation to everything and even applies psychology to vampire mind compulsion.

2E Flexible Emotion: She is very compassionate and accepting of others and their emotions. She is very expressive and open. She tends to be the peacemaker when needed. She tends to see emotions in shades of gray, not judging those who do not live up to the same moral/ social standards too harshly. Instead she empathizes with and tries to understand these individuals, not having a black and white view of emotions.

3F Insecure Physics: She is not the best at combat and is very aware of this vulnerability, making her feel unsafe after Aurora turns her. She overcompensates for this weakness with her planning abilities.

4V Unbothered Volition: Cami is not as focused on controlling her environment or getting results, but on her understanding of the world around her in regards to people and in empathizing with the emotions of others.

Scream: Jill Roberts: INFJ 3w4

Myers Briggs: INFJ

Ni: Jill is a detailed and methodical planner. She carefully plans every bit of her murder schemes, to the point of providing forensic evidence at the crime scene to make it appear as if she were the victim instead of the killer. She plans for every detail- like planting evidence in Sidney’s car to keep her in town long enough to pull off her plan after the first killing and she has Charlie call her as Ghostface in order to remove suspicion from herself.

Fe: Jill wants to be loved and seen as “the star” instead of Sidney. She is jealous of Sidney’s fame and plans to kill her due to this jealousy. She manipulates the emotions of those around her, pretending to be afraid or empathic in order to win others’ sympathy. She is good at pretending to care for her friends, always saying the right thing when they need her to, despite not actually caring about them. She is an extremely unhealthy Fe user, using deception and fake compassion to get what she wants, which is her NiFe end goal of being famous.

Ti: Jill is very inquisitive and intelligent. She is methodical in her murders, especially in faking her own near murder, providing Ti evidence for her supposed attack, in order to bring her Ni goal into fruition. She is cold and logical, knowing what details to manipulate to present herself as the victim.

Se: Out of all the killers in the Scream franchise, Jill comes closest to actually pulling it off. She plans everything down to the smallest detail, but struggles when things don’t go according to plan. When Sidney survives, Jill realizes she has to act fast and kill her before she’s caught, but is very sloppy with the way she goes about it, and in the end this leads to her downfall.

Enneagram: 3w4

Jill is popular and well liked at her high school. She knows how to charm people and get them to like her. She also craves nothing more than to be famous, and will do anything to get there, even kill her own family. Jill tells Sidney, “I don’t need friends, I need fans!” after Sidney confronts her for killing all her friends. Jill wants to be loved and famous for being a “hero,” even if she has to lie, scheme and kill to get there. She even kills her partner in order to be the sole survivor, or the “star.” She also wants to be seen as an innocent victim, which is why she says to Sidney about how to get famous that you just need to have bad things happen to you. She equates being a victim with being special, as an extremely unhealthy 4 wing. She wears it like a badge when she’s wronged, and believes herself to be the victim when her boyfriend dumps her to the point of killing him.

Attitudinal Psyche: The Talented Mr Ripley: Tom Ripley

EVFL

1E Confident Emotion: Tom is outwardly emotional and expressive. He is good at dealing with emotions of others, and always knows what people want to hear. He is opinionated in regards to culture, but diplomatic in expressing those opinions when he does. He is open to the emotional expressions of others and can be quite charming.

2V Flexible Volition: Tom is logical amd good at setting goals. He plans meticulously how to impersonate Dickie, in order to exercise his own willpower and achieve his desires. He is not pushy and will let other people make their own decisions, but will also manipulate others in order to achieve his goals. He knows what he wants and how to get it, and makes quick decisions in order to accomplish what he wants done.

3F Insecure Physics: Once he acquires the money necessary to do so, Tom puts a lot of effort into his appearance. He is very conscious of how his appearance affects the way others see him, and wears expensive clothes in order to attract attention. He is not overly focused on his physical health or needs but is more focused on what he wants and his emotions.

4L Unbothered Logic: Tom is not very theoretical. He prefers to focus on his goals and emotions instead of why the world works the way that it does. In the book he mentions not really having an aptitude for anything outside of impersonating other people. He is not concerned with logical principles but is more focused on status so that he can attract other people’s attention and achieve his goals.

Going forward on this blog I would like to answer questions related to personality systems. Anyone is welcome to submit any questions regarding this topic and I will answer them. I will also begin posting explanations of various topics such as the cognitive functions, enneagram motivations, instinctual variants, and other things in various systems, in addition to typing fictional characters. I will also be typing some celebrities at some point. Requests of characters for me to type are also welcome. I also have a new blog focusing exclusively on attitudinal psyche for those of you who are interested. (attitudinalpsyche Attitudinal Psyche Explained is the blog) Also, I am not certain how much I will be posting since this is my first semester of college back on campus, but I will try to post a few times a month.

The Talented Mr. Ripley: Tom Ripley: INFJ 3w2

Myers Briggs: INFJ

Ni: Tom is good at anticipating what other people are going to do next. He is a clever strategist and plans out his crimes. He is intuitive about other people and uses his insights into other people’s thoughts to cover up his murders. Tom skillfully predicts future outcomes and adjusts his plans accordingly. He plans everything he does and is always focused on the big picture.

Fe: Tom always knows what to say to make people like him. He charms Meredith into thinking he’s rich like her, and he charms Marge and Dickie by telling them what they want to hear. He is outwardly emotional and prone to outbursts when he’s upset because he can’t hold his emotions in. He also has no problems with lying about who he is in order to get ahead, manipulating other’s feelings to get what he wants.

Ti: Tom is clever and methodical in his cover ups. He sends letters to himself to make it look like Dickie’s still alive, then forges a suicide note by Dickie to cover up both Dickie’s and Freddie’s deaths when people start to get suspicious of him, and lies to Marge about how he got Dickie’s rings.

Se: Tom relies on clever planning mostly but can improvise in the moment when he needs to. He can sometimes be too impulsive and nearly ruins his own plans, and finds it easier to plan ahead.

Enneagram: 3w2

Tom knows how to charm people into liking him. He manipulates Marge, Dickie and Peter so that he can get ahead. He hates not having money, and mooches off Dickie to enjoy a life he never could have before. He pretends to be Dickie to get Meredith to like him and later impersonates Dickie to keep living the life he desperately wants. He is also very “helpful” to Dickie and Marge- he agrees to keep Dickie’s secret after Silvana’s death, he lets Marge confide in him in order to make her feel loved so he can manipulate her. He needs to feel loved and becomes devastated when Dickie eventually rejects him, his 2 wing disintegrating to 8 rage when he kills Dickie.

Heathers: Jason “JD” Dean: ENFP 4w5

Myers Briggs: ENFP

Ne: JD is creative and good at improvising. He figures out a way to cover up Heather Chandler’s death after impulsively tricking Veronica into killing her. He is intuitive about other people’s motivations and uses this to make his cover ups seem realistic. He makes Heather Chandler’s note emotional and believable, playing upon people’s emotions so they don’t suspect her death was really a murder. He paints Kurt and Ram as lovers by providing “evidence” that he thinks people will believe, because “this is Ohio.” He makes broad connections and knows how people think.

Fi: JD is individualistic and authentic. He refuses to change himself for anyone at his school, and thinks Veronica should do the same- like when Veronica compares being popular to having a job and he says “Maybe it’s time to take a vacation.” He has a tendency to self- project, and believes Veronica really wants to harm the other students because he does.

Te: JD takes a methodical aproach to covering up his murders. He gathers “evidence” for Kurt and Ram’s “suicides,” and efficiently executes these murders. He successfully plans the murders and finds a way to manipulate Veronica both times.

Si: JD doesn’t pay much attention to the past or traditions. When Veronica asks if he likes his father, he says he never really thought about it. He does, however, feel a strong connection to his mother, even though she died when he was a child. He deep down feels unloved, likely due to his mother’s suicide, and finally admits to Veronica at the end of the film that this is the real reason why he wants to blow up the school.

Enneagram: 4w5

JD is quirky and individualistic, and somewhat of an outcast at his school. He hates the bullies at his school because they bully other students for being different, something JD can relate to. He feels unloved due to the suicide of his mother when he was a child, causing him to lash out and eventually murder other students. He is focused on his inner pain due to his negative life experiences. He is also very intelligent and knowledgeble, and uses this knowledge to aid him in his crimes. He does not care at all what other people think or about being liked and popular, like a 3 wing, but seems more internally based and information focused.

Hello. I was wondering, could you provide a description of what an INFJ 3w2 is like, compared to a 2w3? Thank you.

Other examples found here.

INFJ 2: gifted at figuring out not only what people need, but what they need to hear, in order to shape them toward a greater version of themselves, which can lead them into manipulative behaviors if unhealthy; when healthy, an effective counselor-type personality, able to forewarn of troubles, usually strongly reliant on their relationships and concerned with appropriateness; sometimes with a greater over-reaching vision they want to see come about.

INFJ 3: often excessively status-focused, prone to tunnel vision, and much harder on themselves for perceived laziness and failures; the drive of 3 will develop inferior Se into ‘action mode’ but high Ni may make them severe upon themselves if they lack perfection or miss their goal by mere inches; sometimes prone to unreasonable expectations and standards of personal behavior; often gregarious and well-liked, but hides anything ‘unpleasant’ that shatters the illusion of perfection; very focused on appearances, somewhat out of touch with their true feelings, and prone to Ni/Ti loops (analyzing and refining their future vision, rather than seeing external factors that could alter it).

Started an attudinal psyche blog for those who are interested, but will still be postingregularly in this one. The new blog is called Attitudinal Psyche Explained. I posted the first post today, explaining the theory behind APTI. I will be posting weekly in the new blog, as I post one to two times a week in this one.

Roswell, New Mexico: Michael Guerin: ISTP 4w5

Myers Briggs: ISTP

Ti: Michael is analytical and systematic. He’s good with fixing cars as well as tinkering with alien technology, because he looks at what’s irremovable and applies his internal understanding of how things work to different sytems. He is logical and does not trust his own or other people’s emotions.

Se: Michael is impulsive and acts based on what his gut tells him. He gets into fights frequently, not thinking about the consequences of his actions because he lives in the present. He is skilled with his telekinesis in fights because he is good at manipulating his environment. He is clever and thinks on his feet.

Ni: Michael is very intuitive about other people’s motivations and emotions. He is good at reading between the lines and discerning people’s true intentions. He is not overly focused on the future and lives in the present.

Fe: Michael has a tendency to bottle up his emotions and isolate from others, until he can’t control his feelings anymore and blows up. He pushes people away because he’s afraid of his feelings for them, like he did with both Alex and Maria. He struggles to accept his feelings for people because they’re so strong.

Enneagram: 4w5

Michael has very strong and intense emotions. He struggles with feelings of self loathing and feeling worthless. When he learns the truth about his father, he pushes Isobel and Max away because he thinks he doesn’t deserve to be loved. Growing up, he felt special due to his alien powers but also feels different and at a disadvantage because he is an alien. He is also very intelligent and inquisitive, and spends years preparing a ship to travel back to his home planet. He does this instead of interacting with the outside world because he fears rejection.

OSPP Temperament: Melancholic Choleric

Michael is very analytical and wants things done correctly. He is also efficient and wants to get results. He doesn’t interact socially with other people very often and prefers to keep to himself. He is prone to melancholy and mood swings and has a hard time opening up to others.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I got really sick for a few weeks (not Covid though). I will continue to post more often going forward.

Legacies: Hope Mikaekson: ISFP 8w9

Myers Briggs: ISFP

Fi: Hope is focused on her internal emotions and cares about the few people she lets into her heart. She initially avoids making friends at the Salvatore School and keeps to herself mostly. She has trouble talking about her feelings with others and with admitting them to herself sometimes.

Se: Hope is skilled in combat and thinks on her feet, always knowing what to do in the moment to save her friends. She is very artistic and uses her paintings to express her feelings. She doesn’t always think everything through and is good at relying on her instincts.

Ni: Hope is intuitive and a good strategist. She is good at making plans when needed, but generally lives in the present. She is intuitive about people’s emotions and discerning their true intentions.

Te: Hope is efficient and pragmatic, but sometimes her feelings get in the way of her logic and this can cause her plans to ocasionally backfire on her. She can be blunt about her logic and isn’t afraid to tell others if she thinks their plan is efficient or not.

Enneagram: 8w9

Hope is tough and protective over her loved ones. She will do anything for the ones she loves, including put other people at risk if someone she cares about is in danger, like when she does a dangerous spell with Lizzie’s help in order to get Landon out of the prison world. Hope will even sacrifice herself for the good of those she loves, like when she goes into the Malivore pit in the Season 1 finale of Legacies. She is passive towards others when she doesn’t need to protect her loved ones. She also ignores her own emotions often to maintain peace with others when she is upset.

Instinctual Variant: sp/ so

Hope is very independent and self reliant. She is confident in her ability to take care of herself and her friends, and will sometimes go off on her own because she trusts her own judgement. She also can be closed off and doesn’t always like to show her feelings. Hope has a strong connection to her community- the Salvatore School. She feels she belongs with other Supernaturals and the school means a lot to her. She will do anything to protect her friends and her community, and is willing to sacrifice herself to save the Salvatore School because she feels a part of that environment.

Roswell, New Mexico: Max Evans: ISFJ

Si: Max is a simple man who enjoys a simple life. He stays in Roswell, not only to protect Isobel and Michael Guerin, but also because it’s all he knows. He is very tradional. He has recollections of events down to the smallest detail, remenbering little things that others would probably miss. The past is very important to him, and he is very focused on his past experiences.

Fe: Max is a people- person. He is kind and friendly to everyone he meets, and can get along with anyone. When Liz gives him the wrong milkshake when he starts going to the Crashdown diner, he never corrects her. He gets the same drink for years despite not liking it, because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings. He dies resurrecting Rosa because she’s important to Liz and therefore important to him. He is selfless and becomes a cop so he can take care of Michael and keep him out of trouble.

Ti: Max is a good detective and notices logical inconsistencies that help him do his job better. He is more focused on people than logic, but is good at using logic to understand how people think so he can help them.

Ne: Max can be very idealistic about Liz, and doesn’t move on years after Liz leaves town. He stays stuck in his feelings for her, always hoping that one day she’ll return to Roswell. He doesn’t always think of how his actions will affect his future, and focuses more on the past than what the future may hold.

Temperament: Phlegmatic Sanguine

Max is kind, friendly and accommodating. He has a strong desire to help people because he genuinely is interested in them. He is quiet and keeps to himself, but has no problem acting more extraverted if need be. He is loyal to his friends and family and needs to be around them.

4.      Example

My friend is a 3w4 7w8 1w2 sx/sp

His core desires go:

Success>specialness>stimulation>perfection>autonomy>love

His core fears go:

Failure>normalcy>entrapment>unworthiness>enslavement>abandonment

His 3 is attractiveness focused with a side of work focus.

His 7 is fresh experience focused with a side of lifestyle focus.

His 1 is zeal focused with a side of self-criticism focus.

5.      Making the connections

This is a more intuitive (not iNtuitive) process. Make the connections from the basic core fear and desire (example: the core fear of failure feeds into all these other fears as a root cause and all these other fears in combination feed these behaviors)

Look at how the single core fear plays into every other behavior at play and every other fear at play. Flavor each attitude and behavior and fear based on every other factor.

And in conclusion, you have your type evaluated. Congratulations. Go forth into the world in full glory.
