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.

Disney's Sleeping Beauty: Aurora (INFP)

Contrary to what some in the Disney fandom may think, Aurora definitely has a personality- even a well-rounded one, I dare say. Those who limit their definition of personality to screen time don't seem to have a true grasp on what personality really is. We learn quite a lot about Aurora from her short "I Want" song alone, much less the rest of her screen time. (Also: thanks and credit to Audrey at throughtheroses.tumblr.com!)


Introverted Feeling (Fi): Aurora is a kind girl with strong emotions she keeps inside herself, not always wanting to share how she feels (such as her restlessness and wanting to meet someone). She is comfortable just sitting (or dancing) in silence with those she's fond of, not needing to talk. When faced with the shocking truth of her heritage and being forbidden from seeing the one person she had romantically connected with, she feels quite wounded and doesn't try to hide it, and just sort of gives up after that. Upon meeting her parents at last, she says no words, but simply embraces them warmly.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Aurora is imaginative, philosophical, and has a creative side. She creates a metaphor of her life when she observes a pattern with the birds and wonders if there's a connection between them and her own life ("I Wonder"). Despite holding fast to her dreams, Aurora never actively pursues them; instead stays at home and creates a whole little fantasy world with her animal friends. Besides, she's certain her dreams will come true without needing to actively pursue them- and she's right!

Introverted Sensing (Si): Aurora believes in what she's already learned about dreams (that if you've had one repeatedly, it will come true). She is cautious; she doesn't just jump into a relationship with Phillip, but instead decides to meet him back at her cottage, seeing it as the safe option in this new potentially unsafe situation, as it offers the protection of her aunts. She's not at all excited about the luxury of being a princess- she just wants the only life she ever knew back.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Aurora doesn't use this one much; she can be passive and indecisive at times ("Never!" "Well, maybe someday!" "Oh, no, this evening!"). But she does speak up to the fairies about her own life, and had previously made plans to get to know Phillip better in the safety of home. She doesn't like that her aunts won't treat her like an adult despite her responsible nature.

Disney's Pocahontas- Pocahontas (ISFP)

Introverted Feeling (Fi): Pocahontas feels strongly about most things, but rarely shares these feelings with anyone but a select few she is very close to. She is deeply offended by John's calling her people (and by extension, her) "savages", but instead of talking it out with him, she silently leaves in a huff. Pocahontas hates conflict and will usually go out of her way to avoid it. She wants peace between her tribe and the white explorers more than anything and is willing to throw herself in harm's way if it means achieving it, because she's so steadfast in her values. She feels a need to stay true to herself and find her own way in life, even if it's not what anyone in her tribe does.

Extroverted Sensing (Se): Pocahontas is free-spirited, loves a thrill, and new sensations- diving off a towering waterfall, running through the woods, spying on the strange settlers. She's deeply in tuned with her environment ("But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name"), and shows John how to experience the most out of it ("Colors of the Wind" is a great example of Se, really). She is excited to hear about how different London is from the home she's always known.  She can be impulsive and quick to take chances when she sees them. She doesn't want to take the path everyone else has taken but instead chooses the rocky, more dangerous stream in "Just Around the Riverbend".

Introverted Intuition (Ni): Pocahontas knows her dream about the spinning arrow means something- she just doesn't know what (and this is probably the biggest piece of evidence of how she is not in fact an INFJ as she's regularly typed is; a Ni-dom would probably have figured out the meaning behind the symbolism a long time ago. It takes her the whole movie to get it!). She wants to know what her destiny is, and won't settle for taking the "smoothest course" because it may be the wrong choice for her.

Extroverted Thinking (Te): Pocahontas is pretty passive, but she can stand up and take charge when pushed to it, like calmly explaining to Powhatan how she thinks she's meant to take another path, and going to save John herself through the most direct way (ie literally standing in the way of Powhatan!).

Disney's Tangled- Rapunzel [ESFJ]

I know she's always typed as an Intuitive, especially an ENFP, and it's understandable why; I had once typed her as an ENFJ myself. She does, after all, just "know" the lights are "meant for me!" But is that really indicative of someone with strong intuitive preference?

I had also mistyped Carmen Lowell from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as an ENFJ for similar reasons- she sees signs in everything and believes in fate, much like Rapunzel. But both girls are ESFJs! They hold onto their own routines and traditions that are important to them, and fear change. More on this later.

Also, there's this annoying tendency to type nerdy/quirky/silly ESFJs as ENFPs, not only Rapunzel but characters like Steven Universe. Why? Their Fe is very obvious. Why must Intuitives get the credit for being imaginative when Sensors are,well, often called called creators for a reason?

Anyway, to the typing:

Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Rapunzel is very warm to everyone she meets. She's a people-person and likes to create a happy environment at home for Gothel. She is charismatic and easily inspires others- she gets everyone at the Snuggly Duckling to open up their feelings to her. She's very friendly and you'd be hard-pressed to find a single person in the movie who dislikes her at all (even Gothel goes out of her way to make her happy for her birthday). Due to the fact that she's something of a people-pleaser, this leads Rapunzel to need validation from others, and feel insecure if she doesn't have it. She can also be over-emotional, panicking when she thinks she may hurt Gothel. (Really, where do people see an ENFP's Fi in her at all?)

Introverted Sensing (Si): Rapunzel likes routine, and keeps to it everyday: chores, crafts, exercise, re-reading her books, and so on-and does these without fail, even though it all starts to bore her. She never misses the lights that appear every year on her birthday, which becomes a special tradition for her. She pays attention to details and remembers them well, like the sun symbol she's painted so much since childhood, and where exactly she's seen it before. She can be passive, doing as Gothel says and sometimes letting Flynn lead for her. She's always been taught that the outside is dangerous and believes it without questioning, because that's how Gothel has always taught her to believe.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Rapunzel has stayed in her tower for 18 years, only leaving when Flynn arrives and presents the possibility of leaving safely. She channels her imagination through her preexisting skills as an artist (Si). She eventually pieces together her backstory just from seeing the sun symbol. She enjoys new ideas, as shown in the "I've Got a Dream" sequence. Her lower Ne makes her very paranoid of bad outcomes, though- will Gothel be hurt? What about all the dangers in the world? Will Flynn really leave her as Gothel warns?

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Rapunzel is curious and wants to figure out who, or what, is behind the lanterns that mysteriously appear every year on her birthday. She is shown to enjoy the logical game of chess and solving puzzles at home. Once she pieces together the truth of her heritage, she is able to objectively look at her "mother" for the first time. She sometimes over-analyzes her own feelings, and can sometimes find creative solutions to problems, like using her hair as a lasso or underwater light. She rationalizes her desire to leave the tower, even while admitting it would be immoral to defy and deceive Gothel, so she won't feel guilty about it. However, she primarily prefers to make decisions based on how she feels.
