Gravity Falls- Stan Pines (ESFP)

Extroverted Sensing (Se): Stan has made his living off conning people as he's a good liar and a quick thinker. He recognizes opportunities when they present themselves and isn't afraid to exploit them for his own gain (out of money and brother missing? Pretend to be Ford and charge people to see his house full of weird stuff!). He adapts well to any new lifestyle he has (and he's had a lot!). He works well in his environment, which helps him to be an excellent fighter despite his age (relying on the gravitational anomaly to get rid of the guards and free himself, or using objects at hand in his home to fight the zombies). He spends his time in Gravity Falls secretly sizing up the place to use to his advantage (conning people or preparing for the apocalypse). While it may not be obvious, Stan has a truly creative side; he came up with many of the Shack's fake monsters and created a whole new persona for himself to attract customers as Mr. Mystery with his fez and dapper suit. When Halloween comes around, he likes to go all-out in trying to having fun scaring kids. He has a liking for junk food, TV fights, and is a ladies' man.

 

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Stan isn't above cheating and lying, but he's extremely protective of his family and has shown he's willing to do anything to save them when they're in trouble. He frequently went out of his way to make Mabel in particular happy (like getting Waddles back from the pterodactyl) because her happiness is so important. He doesn't care if people approve of him, but growing up, he resented being considered the "dumber, sweatier version" of his twin. There's some conflict between him and Ford, as Stan has a certain moral code he believes family should have, and he can't wrap his head around why Ford doesn't follow it too. He's deeply hurt by Ford rejecting him twice, because Ford is one of the few people whose opinion he cares about. He's very tough on Dipper, because his own father was to him, and that's what Stan believes to be the right way to act.

 

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Stan isn't one to sit and question things; he is decisive and just acts. He takes it upon himself to rescue his brother from the other dimension. He works tirelessly for decades at rebuilding the portal, all the while making a living by turning Ford's house into an anomaly museum. He's got a criminal past because he's able to disconnect emotionally to do what he thinks he needs to do to survive. He's very blunt and bosses his employees and niece and nephew around, expecting them to follow his rules. He's a competent conman and knows how to run his shop efficiently. Despite all this, Stan doesn't really care to be responsible, often letting the kids in his care do risky or stuff (giving them illegal fireworks to play with or forcing them to make counterfeit money).

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Stan isn't dumb, but didn't do well in school due to a lack of motivation. However, he's the one who comes up with the idea to sail the world with Ford, and doesn't let anything get in the way of that. As an adult, he spends his life trying to bring his brother back to their dimension as well as never live in poverty again, though he can't always foresee setbacks to his plans. He's good at reading motivations (such as how he sees right through Gideon's act) and despite his total lack of scientific experience, he is able to figure out how to fix the portal using only his own skills and the journal.
