I don't know if you've played/watched it but if/once you have, could you type the characters of the video game What Remains Of Edith Finch (the titular Edith and anyone else who gets enough screen time to type)?

I freakin love that game, it’s one of my favorites. I’ve played it like twenty times but NATURALLY it hasn’t been recently so I’m shooting from the hip here. There are also things about the format that blah blah blah ANYWAY. I’m going to skip the youngest children (Calvin, Molly, and Gregory, and also Milton, because, well. I haven’t played The Unfinished Swan yet). That having been said I now present: the Saddams Family (snap snap).

I think Edith (Jr.) is INTP. She returns home out a desire to know, to understand the inexplicability of her family and its apparent curse. That’s what she most wants to pass on: knowledge and truth. Also, after much contemplation, she draws conclusions that life is pretty random, there is no real plan or order to the universe, which is a really NP way to look at things.

Lewis is probably INFP. He seems especially morose and withdrawn, which is fair, and deals with his problems through escapism. Rather than searching for objective meaning or understanding, he creates an idealized world that provides him with the things he craves in real life, ultimately choosing to “inhabit” this new world instead of reality.

I remember while I was playing thinking Dawn was ISFP, though I’m not certain if/how I ruled out ESFP. Anyway, Dawn tends to act on impulse. She is so determined to avoid confronting the truth of her family that she tries to bury it and run away from it. Also, in the hunting flashback, she becomes very emotional about shooting the deer, which suggests a sensitivity and value for life which is her own and clearly not from fatherly influence.

Sam is… ESTJ? Military, strict, very invested in family including forced bonding, not terribly empathetic of Dawn’s discomfort with his chosen activity.

Gus is tricky and I probably shouldn’t even bother trying, but I’m going to hazard a guess and say ESTP. What we do know is that he’s not shy about his opinions, is disobedient, and makes bad life choices out of spite. And you can’t spell spite without ESTP.

I’m going to say Walter is ISFJ. His primary concern is safety, to the point of living in complete isolation in order to hide from the death that stalks his family. He also likes routine, going through the same set of activities each day for decades. He feels and worries deeply, and is not proud to be the last of his siblings left standing.

Barbara is… ESFP? She’s a child star known best for her iconic scream, and she’s neither shy nor cowed. All she wants is to be remembered.

Shot in the dark that Sven is ISTP, based on his proclivity for building things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And as for Edie, ESFJ. I know, I know, the matriarch is ESFJ, really did some mental gymnastics there. But she is clearly a mothering type, sometimes to the point of becoming obsessive and stifling. Her will is iron and looms large over all the successive generations of Finches. She has a fantastic memory for detail, which makes her an excellent storyteller. She also clings to the past, leaving the rooms of the dead in pristine condition and holding tight to the specter of the “curse” of the family.

Thanks for the ask, hope this satisfies!

Hi, I was wondering if you had any examples of INTP and ENTJ friendships? Hope you have a good day!

Thank you! It was awful but it’s over now and that’s what matters!

I have been thinking over this question approximately since I got it and I never realized before how rare in fiction it seems to be. Which is weird, because these are two personalities that are theorized to be among the best matches with each other, and from limited personal experience, I find this to hold up. But it seems like they’re always at least one person removed from one another?

Opening the floor: anybody know of INTP and ENTJ friendships? They must be out there.

Well, I guess I’ll go ahead and kick this hornet’s nest again. Remember: I really like it when people ask me questions and share opinions. I know people are pretty passionate about being wrong about Harry Potter on the Internet. This is all in good fun and I enjoy hearing dissenting opinions so there’s no need to be confrontational or get shirty with me when I respond. I’m just saying these things now because, well. Harry Potter fandom. If you’re not a little afraid you haven’t been paying attention. As always click for full size view!

ooh, I’m actually working on an HP thing so I am already in that zone. coming up 👍 (don’t forget the cherry okay)

what are the major differences between chris traeger as esfp and andy dwyer as enfp?

Chris is a really physical and direct guy. He loves you, you’re great, let’s go for a fun run! He’s high energy all the time and really enthusiastic about things in a big out-loud way. He doesn’t get lost in his thoughts unless he’s got a cold and is dwelling on his own mortality. He’s personable and practical and concerned for the most part with the real world, what needs to be done to take care of his job and personal life. He’s Chris! Chris Traeger! What’s your name?

Andy is similar but he’s much more prone to silly daydreams. It’s why he and April click so well; they have the same kind of imagination which is about pretending and keeping the real world fluid. He’s got a few different identities which he jumps into easily and with great aplomb. He’s not someone to describe as realistic or practical; he lives in his own world more than the real one, which leads to him being a little out of sync with most people. While Chris is about life and big energy!!! Andy is more about ideas and whimsy.

Anyway it’s typical Artisan versus Idealist stuff. Chris is fully present, Andy is away for the moment but he’ll be back soon, probably.

If your fav’s not here it’s probably because of overlap believe me I would have much rather dumped Xander for Jenny Calendar. This is accurate to the best of my abilities. Also more accurate than most of the rest of the Internet, but that is a low hurdle. Happy to explain my rationale if necessary.

and-im-mildly-enjoying-it replied to your photoset “MBTI Ensembles → The Heroines of Jane Austen (1811-1818) Elinor · ISTJ...”

I agree with all but if you check it up properly Elizabeth is actually an ENFP. I didn't believe it at first but then after reading a bit I completely came to agree.

I’d love to hear your rationale about this! Personally I’m trying and can’t see it. She has an organized mind, which you could never accuse an NP of doing, and her feeling is extraverted, dealing with other people and how they relate to one another rather than her own self-evaluation and internal morals. Plus it’s not proof exactly but imo she speaks and acts like an NJ more than an NP. NPs tend to be difficult to follow, while NJs love those little pithy bons mots that totally shut down the opposition. ENFJs are supposed to be among the best persuasive speakers and you can see elements of that in the way Elizabeth conveys her thoughts.

That’s where I’m coming from anyway, would love to hear how you arrived at ENFP.
