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.
