Disney's Moana: Moana (ENFJ) *Spoilers*

Extroverted Feeling: Moana easily takes on the role as leader of her village, as their strength, as well as looks to others for guidance. She confides to her grandmother how she feels, openly scolds beings more powerful than herself, and generally is straightforward about her opinions. She tries to get Maui to open up to her so she can get to know him better, and offers him encouragement. She manipulates him into helping her by playing off his emotions (telling him humans blame him for what's happening to the islands, knowing he craves their adoration).

Introverted Intuition: Moana wants to let go of the way they've always done things on the island and search for a better way to find food for the village. Once she finds out her people were once voyageurs, she wants to know why that was, and dreams of returning to that lifestyle. She knows she was chosen by the ocean to return the Heart of Te Fiti (which she temporarily doubts, but after some encouragement from her grandmother [Fe] goes back to following her destiny). She correctly intuits what really happened to Te Fiti and that the lava monster won't hurt her.

Extroverted Sensing: Moana is ready for adventure and takes things head-on. She sails by herself with little experience, jumps out of a cave to catch up with Maui, does some impressive parkour when she retrives the stolen Heart of Te Fiti from the coconut pirates, and navigates around the lava monster to return the Heart. She uses what's around her (like biolumenscent algae to make a fake Heart to distract Tamatoa with) to work with. She is a little careless sometimes as well, like how her teasing Maui leads to the pirates finding them immediately, or almost getting seriously hurt when she tries sailing for the first time.

Introverted Thinking: Moana uses this one less, but she does question things Maui says, wants to know why he is the way he is.

A Song of Ice and Fire- Sansa Stark (INFP)

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Sansa is proud of who she is, as a Stark and a proper lady. She has trouble at first sympathizing on a deeper level with others because she’s so in tune with her own emotions. Sansa is a very compassionate girl, even pre-development, but she truly empathizes best when she has some personal connection (ie Sandor’s talk about knights, his saving her, and knowing his tragic back story). In A Game of Thrones she’s very focused on what she values most: becoming queen and enjoying her Southron life, and is devasted when Ned says he's taking it away. She doesn't open up to her deepest emotions easily, and can be cold at times, if a matter isn't important to her herself, leading her to initially be a bit self-centered. She tries to get Arya to go to the wheelhouse with the queen and princess by appealing to her with things Sansa personally likes (lemoncakes and music), not realizing her sister doesn't necessarily like the same things she does. She's sensitive and is very hurt when she hears criticism, even from Joffrey, in spite of knowing his petty insults don't really have any power. Due to her upbringing, she usually plays the part of the obedient daughter because she's good at it and likes the positive reinforcement she gets for it, but after her wake-up call her Fi becomes healthier- about Sandor, who was mean to her, and Sweetrobin, who none of the lords care about. Kindness is very important to her, and she decides she will rule with love instead of fear as Cersei advises, if she ever becomes queen. She finds it a bit hard to stay Alayne sometimes, because she has such a deep sense of self as Sansa Stark.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Sansa is at the beginning of the books is very dreamy and doesn't entirely live in reality.  She sees life as a fairy tale like in the songs, sees things as they could be, her idealized version of them: King’s Landing being so magical, Ser Dontos as her "Florian”, Margaery being her ideal big sister (when she’s actually manipulating Sansa). She tends to see the good in people (at first), and later she often correctly guesses the motives of people under Littlefinger's teachings. While Arya immediately dislikes the Lannisters without knowing any of them because Jon insulted them, Sansa senses that Jon is just jealous because he's a bastard (which is true). She sees what’s REALLY going on that others miss, noting that Joffrey is much more of a Lannister than a Baratheon, something the adults never realized. She’s at first willing to ignore Joff’s behavior at the trident to keep her dream of a fairy tale life from shattering. Even after she drops the rose colored glasses, she does keep some optimism and always hopes for a better life later. She struggles to see where Petyr ends and Littlefinger begins, and is never sure of who is the real deal. She learns to make up convincing lies easily and adopt a new persona as Lord Baelish's bastard daughter.

Introverted Sensing (Si): Sansa is proud of her Northern heritage and is always reminding herself that she is a Stark. She constantly refers back to songs, stories, and facts about people she’s learned and compares it to what’s going on currently. She sees Joffrey as the dashing prince who will marry her and fulfill her dreams because that's how it works in the stories. She misses home badly, and at the Eyrie shows her remorse through making a little snow  replica of Winterfell. When in need of comfort, she goes for her favorite books, songs, or food. Sansa fits the traditional role of a noble lady very well and is happy with that position because it's always been good to her.  It’s no secret that she tends to… remember things very subjectively. She’s again, very observant- she notices external details quite well ("[Littlefinger's] eyes did not smile when his mouth did"). She’s worked at becoming an accomplished lady for years and has many talents as a result. She knows what society expects her to do and is able to fit the role of a lady well. She bases much of her Alayne Stone persona as a noble bastard on her half-brother Jon Snow (being fourteen years old, being brave, not liking to dance, etc.).

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Sansa is able to be proactive- Father backing out of his promise and says he's shipping the girls home? Go ask the queen, the authority figure, to stop him. Father on death row? Go to Joffrey at court, charm him, and appeal for her father's life. At her worst, Sansa can be bossy and rude when she perceives something as incompetence, unfair, or irrational. When she and Sweetrobin must cross the narrow snowy bridge alone, she is able to keep herself and the boy calm, coach him and keep him focused until they're safely across. As Alayne Stone, she is able to run a household efficiently by herself and be more blunt in her views with people. She sets goals and works to meet them (get Cersei to convince Father to let her stay, do what she wants to keep the betrothel, win over Harry, etc).

Note: I don't know about TV!Sansa (who is both written differently from her book counterpart and has become inconsistently written anyway), but I would think she is still an INFP. I do think Sansa values social harmony to a degree, but because she's been taught to and because she personally dislikes conflict ruining her good time. Westerosi society values the Introverted Sensing a lot, especially in its women, so Sansa’s been taught to exercise it more- and it helps that both her parents are Si-doms, I don't think she uses it enough to be an ISFJ, and she gets bored or tired of people's company when she's around it too much and lives inside her own head, ruling out an extroverted type.

(Late) Halloween MBTI- Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas- Sally the Ragdoll (ISFP)

Introverted Feeling (Fi)- Sally is independent, and guided by an internal set of values that lead her to oppose the idea of adopting Christmas in Halloweentown, even though the man she loves is doing it, along with the whole town. She doesn’t present a rational argument as to why he shouldn’t do it, but rather is against it because it just feels wrong to her, though she doesn’t oppose her opinion on others. She doesn’t like the lifestyle Dr. Finkelstein has forced on her, but she still cares for him and rebels quietly when she can’t take any more. Sally has trouble telling Jack she likes him, instead showing her affection through acts (bringing him dinner and wine when he forgets to eat, helping to make his costume, going to save Sandy). She has a deep bond with Jack, even though she thinks he only sees her as a friend, and would do anything for him.

Extroverted Sensing (Se)- Sally is somewhat impatient, and is bored being locked up all the time. She would rather be doing something and be out with others in town and with Jack. She has a reckless streak, continuously sneaks out, fearlessly leaps out a window and gets herself torn up, and impulsively runs off to rescue Sandy (and gets herself captured). However, she improvises very well, pouring a fog potion in the fountain to try to prevent Jack from leaving and using her detachable limbs to get herself out of fixes or cause diversions, and is a talented potion-brewer. As nobody listened to her warning, she realizes she needs to take action herself.

Introverted Intuition (Ni)- Sally envisions a future of herself and Jack together, but is too shy about her feelings to work towards that vision. She gets a premonition of Christmas ending in disaster and worries about what Jack has gotten everyone into, though she can’t articulate to anyone why it’s true. She wants to enjoy the present moment of the Christmas preparations and fun (Se), but can’t shake off her bad feeling. While she is generally considerate of the future, she sometimes doesn’t see past the current moment (like a longer-term plan than just sneaking out of home all the time just to get dragged back home) or consequences (getting caught in Oogie’s lair).

Extroverted Thinking (Te)- Sally is very sensible. She reasonably tells the doctor why she wants to leave, pointing out he is perfectly capable of creating others like her. Unlike Jack, a strong Ti user, she doesn’t stop and analyze a situation; she just acts (creating foggy weather, going to save Sandy Claws so he can stop Jack, distracting Oogie). She acts on her emotions, and won’t just come out and tell Jack she loves him. She also isn’t always assertive with people when it would benefit her to be.


Note: I know INFJ is a popular typing, due to the Ni-filled “Sally’s Song”. I originally typed her as an ISFJ, then as an INFJ, then considered INFP. But I’ve realized she is definitely driven by Fi, and uses far too much Se in what she does to be an INFJ. Her Ni also isn’t as strong as a Ni-dom’s would be (Also, using intuition =/= an Intuitive. Sounds contradicting, but Sensors use their intuitive functions, too.).

Halloween MBTI: The Others- Grace Stewart (ISTJ) [Spoilers]

Introverted Sensing: Grace is pragmatic and methodical, the voice of reason (or so she thinks) to her children’s “silly” ideas. The house has always been managed a certain way, and expects her new servants and children to follow her rules.  She’s happy with this routine. She adheres to Catholicism and recalls details about it when teaching, disciplining, or comforting her children (and gets angry when Anne corrects what she knows about purgatory). It is primarily Grace’s roots in reality and her strong memories of how life used to be in the house was before her and her children’s deaths that keeps her from seeing she is, in fact, dead.

Extroverted Thinking: Grace has a smooth, efficient way of managing her household by herself and gives orders easily. There’s a place for everything, and everything in its place. Upon the arrival of her new servants, she assigns each of them to certain jobs and rooms that will suit each person best, and doesn’t stop to make many pleasantries when things need to be organized. She usually controls her emotions, keeping “a cool head” and doing what needs to be done. She makes them study in separate rooms for talking too much, and makes Anne stand and read aloud from the Bible for three days straight until she confesses to lying. Grace trusts what she knows, and doesn’t believe anything until she sees evidence of it herself, insisting things have explanations (“Something traumatic must have happened to [Lydia]” to make her mute).

Introverted Feeling: If Grace feels uncomfortable talking about something, she won’t talk about it, and gets annoyed if pushed to do so. Her own set of values are very important to her and she doesn’t change them for anyone. Catholicism matters deeply to her, and she tries to instill its values in her children. She doesn’t express her feelings or affection towards the kids much through words, instead comforting Nicholas with a rosary and kiss. She sobs in private when she misses her husband. Despite being cold sometimes, she’s extremely protective of her children. She is offended when someone makes her feel incompetent, such as when she thinks Mrs. Mills suggested it was Grace who unlocked the door and endangered the kids and when her daughter calls her out for being wrong about what the Bible says.

Extroverted Thinking: Grace dislikes “fantasies”, “strange ideas”, and refuses to believe Anne about the “strangers” for most of the movie. She’s disturbed by the superstition of photographing dead relatives. But she does try to open her children’s minds more about Hell and describes it imaginatively, and shows them another point of view about denying Jesus. She senses there is something more to Lydia’s muteness than what Mrs. Mills told her and senses something that isn’t human in the junk room. By the end of the movie, Grace has finally accepted her fate and opens her mind to the idea of the afterlife. She admits she isn’t sure whether or not Heaven or Hell are real.

Gravity Falls- Ford Pines (INTP) [Spoilers]

Ti- The endless mysteries of the world captivate Ford to no end, and he’s forever chasing them- always wanting to know more, always thinking, and dedicating himself to solving life’s puzzles. He figured out how to make a lightbulb that never burns out in just a few hours! He is able to be make tough decisions to achieve his ends, works well under pressure, and is tactical (like placing a metal plate in his head to keep Bill Cipher out).  

Ne- Ford loves the endless possibilities in his line of work. (examples) He collects highly dangerous objects because they fascinate him (even lets his young nephew get ahold of them). He’s so caught up in the bigger picture that he rarely sees the potential consequences of his actions- like, say, making a deal with a dream demon or carrying around the infinity-sided dice, and this open-mindedness makes him rather naive, despite his great ingenuity.

Si- As a scientist, Ford will patiently study as much as he can about whatever he’s interested in to glean all the details of it. He wants his old life back- with his brother out of his life for good so he can continue studying anomalies. He wants Dipper to carry on his life’s work and sees him as a younger version of how he used to be.

Fe- Growing up, he felt very hurt his extra-fingered hand and intelligence gained him mockery from other kids. Unlike Stan, who was also hurt but cared far less what other people thought, Ford wanted acceptance and to connect with others, which he eventually does with Dipper. As an adult his need to be admired gets exploited by Bill. He believes in doing things for the greater good and tends to accidentally belittle others’ feelings, leading him to appear quite cold to Stan, who operates on a very different and very personal moral code (Fi-aux). 

Disney's Beauty and the Beast- Belle (ISFJ) [Retyping]

Taken from But We've Met Before, my Disney blog.

Introverted Sensing (Si): Though Belle says she wants excitement and adventure, she never actually does anything about it. She stays in town, performing the same routine every day: go into town, get books, read them, do some chores around the house. It bores her, but it's what she knows and is comfortable with. Later, she eventually falls into the same routines, reading, taking walks, feeding the birds; the only difference is she's doing them in a magic palace now! Everything she concludes about her stay in the enchanted castle, she knows from her fairy tale books. In "Something There", she muses over her feelings for the Beast that differ so greatly from what she has come to learn about him (well, he's BEEN a big, terrifying brute with a bad temper- why should I care about him so much now?).

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Belle is well-mannered, very proper, and though she's not stimulated in her village, she never makes a big fuss. It bothers her a little to not fit in with her community. She thinks Gaston is boorish but never snaps at him, just politely engages with him, even when he damages her book. She is able to flatter Gaston to get rid of him, and similarly manipulates Lumiere and Cogsworth so she can sneak off to the West Wing. However, overall, she doesn't always express her deeper emotions (though she WILL assert herself when she needs to) if she thinks it will hurt others, and this almost cost the Beast his life. She doesn't always try to empathize with the other person (but still sometimes expects others to somehow just know how she feels).

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Belle is intellectually curious and greatly enjoys learning. She sees past appearances, which is why she is willing to stay with the Beast after all despite him frightening her. She knows that just because Gaston is handsome and popular doesn’t necessarily mean he is a kind person. The Beast, like Gaston, was rude and boorish to her, but she notices his kindness when he gives her a better room and then rescues her. Belle isn’t necessarily good at reading people, but she is good at analyzing situations. When she wants Gaston out of her house, she doesn’t tell him to go, but finds a way to him to the door and make him leave anyway. She is fascinated by the many secrets the enchanted castle might hold.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Belle is dreamy, yearning to escape her small-town boredom and have "adventure in the great, wide somewhere", never specifying exactly what kind of adventure it is she wants; she just likes the idea of seeing things and getting away from her village of "little people".  She loves books, especially fairy tales, because they spark her imagination. She is able to see different sides of people: the rude side of Gaston nobody else in town seems to see, and the gentleness beneath the rude, gruff exterior of the Beast. She wonders what the rose is, and what's its connection to the Beast (or the young man in the portrait, for that matter)?



Reason for retyping: After discussing it with isfjmel-phleg (my MBTI source, I suppose?), I stand corrected; ISFJ makes more sense. She makes far more decisions based on how she is feeling than an INTP would, even though her Ti and Ne are quite well-used.

Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli (ISFP)

Introverted Feeling- Lapis is brimming with emotions that she at times cannot control. She holds onto her resentment towards the Crystal Gems for unknowingly keeping her inside a mirror for thousands of years, and even when she befriends Steven, who tries to get her to realize they meant no harm, she still does not want anything to do with them because of their involvement in her prison (no matter that none of them knew she was in there). She does not trust others easily, but when she does, she’s an incredibly loyal friend. She goes out of her way to protect Steven and even the Gems- not because they mean anything to her, but because Steven means so much to her and he loves the Gems. She doesn’t want to room with Peridot because of the latter’s imprisonment of her in the past, and is quick to decide she dislikes her before giving Peridot a chance. However, when Peridot shows she means well by giving her a gift, Lapis does appreciate it. She admits she enjoyed using Jasper as a chew toy for her own rage. She doesn’t always know how to empathize with others (understanding why Steven trusts Peridot, or that the Gems aren’t to blame for the mirror).

Extroverted Sensing- Lapis is good at working in and with her environment. She uses with whatever she has on hand- using the earth’s ocean as a giant step, or making shapes from it to fight off foes, or using Steven’s own words to communicate with him while stuck in the mirror. She’s usually more observant than the other gems- Sapphire and Ruby are wasting the game flirting, that’s what’s going on. She knows how dangerous Malachite is but enjoys the power the fusion gives her and having such a release for her rage and pain. Steven shows her how vast her new home really is and she is shown to appreciate the beauty and experience of it.

Introverted Intuition- Lapis single-mindedly just wants to go “home”. At first it’s just Homeworld, but when that proves to be impossible for her, she struggles with finding somewhere else she can be at peace, feeling trapped wherever she goes. She sees a way to trap Jasper when all hope seems lost (albeit not a long-term one, as she quickly realizes she cannot hold back Jasper forever in this fusion state). Water holds very unpleasant symbolism as her dark prison, so she rejects the pool Peridot attempts to give her.

Extroverted Thinking (Te)- Lapis deals with problems as they come and solves problems the most direct way. When she needs to go home, she makes a water tower to physically reach it. She uses the weight of the ocean to hold down Malachite. Imprisoning Jasper is exhausting and takes all her concentration, but what other solution is there? She acts on her emotions- crushing Peridot’s tape recorder- and flat-out tells the other gem she doesn’t want her around. She can be blunt and shoots down ideas she thinks are awful (“This plan sucks”), although she doesn’t offer alternative ones.
