kangaclubs asked: I think Hermione Granger is an ISFJ, what about you? She's not very outgoing, she does not like the break the rules and she really respects authority, she pretty much acts out on her feelings, and she's very organized

Wow, I haven't posted many things of value on this...
I’ve been so distracted, I’ve hardly had time to think much about Myers-Briggs.
Well, that’s not true. I’m always thinking about Myers-Briggs. But organizing my thoughts is another thing.
Still thinking about Tom Hardy, though. I’m not completely satisfied with ENTP as his type. And Emma Watson. I think she’s probably an INFJ, but it’s hard to tell. And...
whatabouthoward asked: Maybe he is a little of both. I think I am a combination that is why I make the suggestion. I know that the idea seems odd but I think that like in most categorical methods this is not fool proof and not everyone will fit perfectly into the same labels

Hardly Tom
Yeah, I think Tom Hardy’s an ENTP again. (Sorry for the awful cheesy post title.)
I guess I’ll never really know. Obviously. But I don’t think he’s an ISTP.
None of you will take me seriously on anything anymore because I’ve changed my opinion on the matter about 5 times. Sorry about that. :)
But Tom Hardy’s brain is extraverted intuition (Ne), in my opinion....

wendyloulou reblogged this from you and added:
wow excuse my barging in, but i always thought Tom Hardy was a textbook example of ENTP. hmmmmmm. idek…
That’s interesting! My first impression was ENTP as well. I don’t really know. But I am fairly convinced he’s an ISTP now. I could be swayed again, though.

So, the guy definitely has introverted thinking and extroverted feeling in his conscious functions?
Haha, I suppose so!
You know what? The responses people gave me and a little more research have convinced me. Tom Hardy is probably an ISTP.

mik3ni replied to your post: Hardy Tom
Why isn’t Hardy an INTP?
I suppose it’s hard to explain. I’ll try, though.
I don’t think he’s… “inwardly focused”? in the same way that INTPs are. That’s really vague, and it’s because I don’t actually have any specific evidence to back it up. It’s just something I gather from watching him in...

Hardy Tom
kikotsu answered your question: Tom Hardy,
My vote is that he’s an I not an E.
xxjeannexx answered your question: Tom Hardy,
I think he’s an I.
2-fish answered your question: Tom Hardy,
my vote is that he’s xSTP. he doesn’t have enough Ne to be ENTP, and he’s definitely not INTP.
Yeah, he doesn’t strike me as an INTP at all. I could easily be convinced that he’s an ISTP, but not so...

Tom Hardy,
I think, is an ENTP. This hypothesis is only based on a few interviews I’ve seen with him.
He is definitely a thinker. There’s no question. And based on just observation and things he says in his interviews, lifestyle, etc., he strikes me as an -NTP. The only reason I give him an E rather than an I is that he’s more outspoken and comfortable with people than many INTPs that I...

I think Emma Watson is an NF.
gillianbdshaw:
Not completely sure, obviously, but I really think so. I also think she’s a J, with Fe. I can’t decide if she’s introverted or extraverted, though.
She could also be an ENFP though. I could see that. Maybe.

So out of curiosity, I looked up my Personality type and after reading through many of the types, I do not singularly fall into one personality type.

I am fascinated about learning about my type, and learning about other people's types and learning more about them through learning more about their type.

Weir Falling Down: Thoughts on MBTI Dependancy →
weirfallingdown:
What I have come to realize over hours spent on hundreds of webpages, forums, blogs and articles discussing MBTI is that most of those who are very invested in their type and typing others is that they become dependent on their type and often attribute the cause of their actions/decisions/faults/successes on their type.
I feel like this is a fundamental fault in the...

Some thoughts about ESTJ's

Also, I clicked a wrong button and everything I’d written was deleted, so… So anyways, I’m just going to talk about some things I’ve personally noticed about each type that online descriptions don’t touch on, or that contradict...

How introverted are you?
intpthoughts:
I actually really like group projects because it’s a good way to socialize and meet people. Am I the only one here? It’s kind of weird because I’m relatively extroverted, for an introvert, but I still spend a lot of time alone. I read posts online about other introverts and wonder how people are that introverted.
Then again, that’s probably how I was when I was younger. Maybe I’ve...

Types I have the least amount of experience with
I usually find I can identify a person’s or character’s type with relative ease by paying close attention to patterns I see in their personality. However, I don’t believe I’ve ever actually known an ENTP or an ENFJ intimately. Perhaps I have, and just didn’t know their type. For this reason, I have difficulty understanding their personalities and patterns within them....

TYPE AND SETH MACFARLANE
INTJ
Yeah. I deleted my last post about not knowing his type because I figured it out. You may not agree, but it totally fits. He’s perhaps more diplomatic than many T’s I know, and probably borderline on the J/P.
Introversion: As pointed out before, shy, withdrawn, enjoys spending a lot of time alone. Suggestion that social environments are taxing for him.
iNtuition: Speaks in...
dorothysparka asked: The reason I gave MacFarlane an I is because he's mentioned several times when pressed about being outgoing, extroverted, a playboy, etc., he rebuts that by making it clear that he's "very very shy", "withdrawn", quiet & you can find him at home in bed every night with a book. That suggests IMO that extroversion is more taxing, less of a recharge for him than...

Any ideas what Seth MacFarlane's personality type...
I can’t get past T and it’s bothering me.
New addition: I forgot to mention, I definitely think he is an N. So far the two guesses/answers are INTP and ENTJ. Both very different, but both Rationalist (NT) temperaments. I think it’s fair to say Seth MacFarlane is a Rationalist?

Sensory vs. iNtuitive
Sensors: The observers. The world is all around them, without them, surrounding them and waiting to be seen, heard and felt.
iNtuitors: The theorists. The world is within them, inside their minds, boundless and waiting to be conceived.
teenmomgamzee asked: About the whole ISFP values thing, I'm an ISFP and I definitely have a veryyyy strong set of values that hardly ever change. Little things might shift depending on the situation or just how I'm maturing and changing personaly, but in general they are very concrete. Obviously, no personality test can be right all the time on everything, so maybe you're just meeting all the exceptions...

There’s actually a not-too-bad MBTI test in the book Please Understand Me II. I think it’s much better than any of the online tests I’ve seen.

hazelgracias asked: I'm still learning about the MBTI and whatnot, so I have a question. You know how certain functions can be developed vs. not developed?

My results are pretty split down the middle (except for P vs. J). Does this mean none of my...

If you’re having trouble figuring out someone’s personality type, try to figure out what temperament they suit best. I find this helps a lot.
Say you’re thinking, “this person is either an ESFJ or an ENFJ,” ask yourself if they are more likely an SJ or an NF. It becomes much easier to identify people when considering temperaments, because all the temperaments are so...

ISTP: God help me to consider people’s feelings, even if most of them ARE hypersensitive.
ESTP: God help me to take responsibility for my own actions, even though they’re usually NOT my fault.
ESTJ: God, help me to not try to RUN everything. But, if You need some help, just ask.

THE INFJ PROBLEM
So many people answered my question about INFJs, I decided to write an entry about it.
This title mirrors an earlier blog entry title, “The ISFP Problem”. I don’t actually have a problem with INFJs or ISFPs. I just notice a discrepancy in their descriptions and my personal experience with them.
SO, a lot of people said that although rare, INFJs flock to the internet and this is...

CAN TYPE CHANGE?
It is my belief that no, it does not.
I’ve discussed this with a lot of people who speculate that a person’s Myers-Briggs type can change throughout the course of their life. A lot of people have even claimed that their type has changed.
It is my belief that Myers-Briggs is based on aspects of a person’s personality that are unchanging, or rather, reside at a person’s...

INTJ vs. INTP
http://intjcentral.com/intj-vs-intp/ - This website explains it nicely.
Has a good description of the difference between P and J.
“Misunderstanding the difference between J/P is one reason many people mistype.”
Also a great website for INTJs.
