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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Erik/ the Phantom of the Opera personality type: INTJ 4w5
Myers Briggs: INTJ
Ni: Erik is excellent at predicting future outcomes. He always knows what people are going to do next and is a meticulous strategist and planner. His primary focus is making his personal artistic vision come to fruition, which is having his opera performed with Christine as the prima donna. He is intuitive about what people are thinking and what their motivations are.
Te: Erik is efficient and practical. He becomes frustrated when he believes other people aren’t doing their jobs adequately and manipulates everyone at the opera house in order to accomplish his goals. He can be ruthless when it comes to accomplishing his goals and will even harm others to make his point, like with Joseph Buquet.
Fi: Erik doesn’t have many people he cares about; he really only cares for Christine. Erik’s Fi is immature and so he is prone to outbursts of emotion. He does not regulate his emotions very well due to having been rejected by society his entire life.
Se: Erik is agile and skilled in combat. He is a skilled swordsman and holds his own against Raoul. He can sometimes be impulsive, but usually his actions serve to help him achieve some sort of goal.
Enneagram: 4w5
Erik is emotional and intense. He expresses himself through his art and his artistic vision is based on himself instead of what he thinks will please others. He is authentic and individualistic, and moves to 2 in times of stress. When he fails to win Christine’s love he kidnaps her and tries to manipulate her into choosing him over Raoul. Erik is also very knowledgeble and uses his various skills to protect himself from the outside world.
Instinctual variant: sx/so
Erik’s primary concern is that he wants to be loved and in a relationship, and becomes obsessed with Christine for this reason. He uses his music to express his sexuality and desire for intimacy that he has never been able to experience due to his appearance. Erik wants to be accepted by society, but has never felt acceptance due to his appearance. He wishes for people to show him kindness and when he is finally shown kindness by Christine, he finally demonstrates an ability to show compassion.
Temperament: Melancholic Choleric
Erik is an analytical thinker and a deeply emotional person. He wants things done right in the opera house and becomes annoyed when he believes people to be incompetent. He is also efficient and can be bossy and demanding of the managers in the opera house. He is very particular about how he wants things done and becomes frustrated when people do not listen to him. He can be blunt with people when he feels they are not doing things correctly.

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.
Just an INFJ nerd who likes typing people’s mbti, enneagram, temperament and other systems.
