The Myers Briggs Geek Test: How We Stack Up With Our Fictional Counterparts. Every- so- often (read: “more- often- than- not”) the staff at Geeks Under Grace likes to feature something fun, unique, and (above all) nerdy. We challenged our staff members to take the Myers- Briggs Type Indicator test and discuss their findings, along with five fictional characters that they share a type with. If you’re unfamiliar with this test, I’ll give you a quick catch- up so we’re all on the same page. The Myers- Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test is a psychological, personality- assessment test which measures how individuals perceive their world and make decisions based on those perceptions. The test scores individuals by labeling them with a four- letter type. This type represents four dichotomies that the individual has the most in common with, and each dichotomy is determined from a set of two. It’s not as complex as it sounds.

And there are few characters in pop-culture who exemplify ISFJ-ness The four different dichotomies are: Introversion VS. Extroversion: Introverts are reserved and private, enjoy time to contemplate and consider, tend to think things through, live in their own inner world, need alone time to “recharge,” and would rather observe than be the center of attention. Extroverts are talkative and outgoing, enjoy a fast- paced environment, find energy in parties and socializing, tend to work ideas out with others and think aloud, and would rather be the center of attention. Sensing VS. Intuition: Sensing types focus on the reality of how things are, pay attention to concrete facts and details, prefer ideas that have practical applications, and like to describe things in a literal way. Intuitive types imagine the possibilities of how things could be, notice the big picture and see how everything connects, enjoy new ideas and concepts, and like to describe things in a figurative or poetic way. Thinking VS. Feeling: Thinkers make decisions in an impersonal way, rely on logical reasoning, value justice and fairness, enjoy finding the flaws in an argument, and are usually reasonable and level- headed. Feelers base decisions on personal values and how they may effect others, value harmony and forgiveness, like to please others and point out the best in people, and are usually warm and empathetic. Judging VS. Perceiving: Judging types prefer to have matters settled, think rules and deadlines should be respected, prefer to have detailed instructions, make plans in advance, and like to know what to expect. Perceiving types prefer to leave options open, see rules and deadlines as flexible, like to improvise and make things up as they go, and are usually spontaneous and enjoy new situations. Once the test has determined which of the two in each set that the individual is most like, it arranges them into a four- letter type. For example, an individual who was an extroverted, intuitive, feeling, perceiving type would be classified as an ENFP. Now that you understand the basics of the test, let’s take a look at the staff behind Geeks Under Grace and see how our personalities stack up with our fictional counterparts. ENFJ’s are compassionate leaders by nature. Our Extroversion tends to make us the first in line to accept the challenge of leadership by openly engaging people to side with our cause. With i. Ntuition we typically shoot for the stars by looking at the big picture of our goals. Our Feeling tends to make our goals more compassionate, and gives us more of a tender heart for those that are weak or suffering. Finally our Judgment leads us to plan our actions to achieve a more favorable outcome through strategy. Some prominent leaders throughout history have been ENFJs, namely King David, and many were known for their compassion and defense of the poor. The same has been true for many of the fictional characters that have been classified as ENFJs. While there may be some disagreement as to what their personality type really is, as there will be with almost every fictional character, these are the characters that I have chosen that best match my personality in comparison with the MBTI test. Mufasa. The Lion King. The empathetic king of Pride Rock. His benevolence led him to give the evil hyenas a place to live next to his kingdom, though it was well within his means to push them out of their home. In the end, his compassion for his family led him to misplace his trust and leave him vulnerable to his brother’s murderous scheme. Like Mufasa, I tend to be empathetic toward other people. This can be a good quality for a leader, but when you partner that with our lack of attention to detail we can sometimes overlook the bad in others. This makes it easier to forgive, as we tend to be optimistic and look at the good in others, but leaves us more open to be used for others’ personal gain.
Cyclops has tasked himself with the protection of the entire mutant race. He feels that, since he was born with powers, it is his civil duty to use those powers to protect those who have been condemned for their genetic mutations. While he has drifted in and out of the X- MEN, he has always done what he can to further the mutant race. This quality is deeply instilled in me. I feel that if I can’t use any influence I have to help those in need, that I have wasted the resources I have been blessed with. Unfortunately (and fortunately), this can lead to my leaving a project that I don’t feel is having an impact on those that need it. That is why ENFJs are typically the ones that are seen leading political causes that affect the less- fortunate. While William Wallace was a real person, the movie Braveheart is a fictional telling of his history, so I’m going to use him, dang it! Feel free to ignore this section if this bothers you. William Wallace used his extroverted, charismatic nature to influence a rebellion against the overwhelming odds of a tyrannical government. His natural leadership showed his passion in the darkest times. It was so instilled in the people he touched that they fought with enough ferocity to overcome the massive and well- organized English army! As ENFJs, we are predisposed to inspire others. Speaking life comes easier to us. This quality is good if our cause is good, but can be negative if we aren’t working toward a positive cause. Fortunately, as Christians, if we line our causes up with Scripture, we can inspire many people in the correct way. Faramir. Lord of the Rings. Faramir is introduced as he meets the hobbits that are carrying the One Ring. After learning about his brother’s death (due in part to being tempted by the ring), he wishes that he had gone in Boromir’s place to join the fellowship. He knew that he would have been much more successful at resisting the temptation of the ring (as he shows in The Two Towers) and his brother’s life would have been spared. If there is ever an opportunity for me to do something myself, I will do it rather than send someone in my stead. This can often times lead to spreading myself too thin amongst tasks, but it also prevents putting a heavy load on those who look to me for guidance. If a task needs to be delegated, I will give the easier task to others and take the harder one for myself. Leonardo. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The leader in blue that does anything it takes to get his ninjas through. Leonardo never backs down from a fight when someone needs him. His steadfast leadership often sends the teens into drastic situations to pull a fallen teammate or helpless victim *cough* April *cough* out of dire circumstances. He doesn’t do it haphazardly though. Leo always weighs the consequences of the attack and plans the best, most strategic approach to the fight. I am not one to let evil win willingly. For instance, when I see a friend post about hot topics on Facebook (i. I often choose sides in political and social arguments that are in protection of those who can’t take care of themselves. I approach these arguments tactfully though. I do my research and form an opinion in case I have to argue that topic in the future, and I don’t get into debates that I don’t feel have significant importance. When deciding on a charity to donate to, I research to see which charity has the most impact (based on the demographics of the location they are in and the percentage of proceeds that go to the cause). My intent with this article is not to paint myself in a good light, but to compare myself to traits that I find admirable in these characters. I am much more flawed than I am whole, but we can save those flaws for future, deeper articles. Thank you all for reading, and I hope this gives you some insight into ENFJs!“I think we must expect great things from you. Ollivander, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. INFJ personality types tend to be characterized by the need for solitude, strong emotions, and a desire to remake the world. We tend to make very good teachers and mentors (like a lot of INFJs, I went into liberal arts in college instead of the sciences; INFJs tend to be drawn to the humanities). INFJs tend to want to be involved with people, but still need time alone to “recharge.” They often have few close friends, and, in my personal experience, those friendships do not come particularly easy. They are capable of great empathy, but can fall into the traps of pride and ambition if they are not careful. Famous INFJs include Ludwig Wittgenstein (one of my favorite philosophers), Mahatma Ghandi, and? There are good and bad in every personality type. The consummate INFJ. He’s a teacher and a wise mentor to Harry Potter, but he’s got some skeletons in his closet. INFJs tend to be secretive, not only because they feel an inherent disconnection with the rest of humanity, but also because they tend to be empathic enough to know how people will react. Dumbledore usually stays in the background, but he wants to pass his wisdom onto others. He genuinely cares about people and works to make their lives better, but he doesn’t see himself as the hero.
