Heathers: Jason “JD” Dean: ENFP 4w5

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 Hunger Games: Finnick Odair: ESFP 3w2

Myers Briggs: ESFP

Se: Finnick is a skilled fighter who can assess situations in the moment quickly and with ease. He is very adaptable and present. He is athletic, follows his impulses and good at trusting his instincts. He doesn’t focus too much on the future, preferring to live in the present.

Fi: Finnick is very charming and friendly, but he has few that he holds close to his heart, such as Annie and Johanna. Finnick has a strong sense of right and wrong and that’s why he becomes involved in the revolution. He was willing to die to protect Katniss, like the other tributes who were involved in the rebellion. He is willing to die for what he believes in.

Te: Finnick is efficient and pragmatic. He is logical and a good problem solver. Tying knots helps calm him because it is an external task that helps distract him from his fears. He is good with logic and quick to point out flaws in other’s reasoning.

Ni: Finnick is intuitive and capable of understanding complex strategies. He is not as focused on the future, but he sometimes thinks about the future and the bad things that could happen due to having Ni lower in his functional stack. Finnick is very intelligent and good at understanding his enemies’ motivations.

Enneagram: 3w2

Finnick is charming and knows how to make people like him. He wins the Games at 14 because he knows how to charm the citizens in the Capitol into liking him. Finnick is also caring and helpful to his friends and loved ones. He knows how to manipulate the people of the Capitol into telling him their secrets or sponsoring him in the Hunger Games.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
