Famous Fictional ENFP’s

20131227-110305.jpgI don’t put much stock in the Myers-Briggs personality test—I rate them somewhere above palm readers, but below tarot cards. I do occasionally find it intriguing to see what anonymous researchers summarize about me. Someone has compiled a list of fictional characters based on their Myers-Briggs type, using a methodology they describe as “the best guesses of lots of fans” (h/t Michelle).

For those unfamiliar with the test, you can read about it

  • Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars
  • Marty McFly from Back to the Future
  • Ned Flanders from The Simpsons
  • Alfred from The Dark Knight Saga
  • Dean Pelton from Community
  • JD from Scrubs
  • Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock
  • Ariel from The Little Mermaid
  • Maria von Trapp from The Sound of Music
  • Daphne Moon from Frasier
  • Christopher McCandless from Into The Wild
  • Peregrin Took (“Pippin”) from The Lord of the Rings
  • Don Quixote from Don Quixote
  • Idi Amin from The Last King of Scotland
  • Martin Prince from The Simpsons
  • Peggy Hill from King of the Hill
  • Adam West from Family Guy
  • Genie from Aladdin
  • Michael Scott from The Office (US)
  • Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds
  • Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell from Top Gun
  • Elliot Reid from Scrubs
  • Hawkeye Pierce from MASH
  • Cher Horowitz from Clueless
  • Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games
  • James “Sulley” Sullivan from Monsters Inc and Monsters University
  • Mercutio from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
  • Cersei Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones
  • Chloe Beale from Pitch Perfect

I could delve into the similarities between these characters, or the common threads of their stories, but screw it.

  1. Yeah, I’ve seen this list. They don’t help their case to be taken seriously when you have to point out that Maria von Trapp isn’t fictional. As a certified MBTI facilitator, I do find Myers-Briggs typing to be helpful when communicating with clients and as an approach to copywriting, particularly website copy. But I don’t adhere as strictly to its sets and subsets as others do. I refuse to dive too deeply into their murky alphabet soup.
