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).
