MBTI'm in Anaheim

Greetings from the West Coast! I'm in California for work this week and I'll be visiting Universal Studios Hollywood and Disneyland. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. Since I'm bouncing between The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and California Adventure, I decided to create MBTI profiles for both fandoms. So whether you prefer Universal, like me, or Disney, like everyone else I know, keep reading to find out which characters you're most like.

If you have never taken the Myers-Briggs personality test because you only take Buzzfeed quizzes, I completely understand. I have simplified the process below. Choose E or I, S or N, T or F and J or P to get your 4 letter Myers-Briggs type. You can also search MBTI and take an online version of the test like this one, but there are several others choose from.

E/I - Energy
Extroversion/introversion is a measure of how you get energy. If you enjoy being around others and get recharged from spending time with people, you're probably an extrovert like me! If you need your alone time to get energized you're an introvert like Brendan!

S/N - Information
Sensing/intuition measures how you prefer to take in information. Sensing people like facts, numbers, the concrete here and now. Sensers generally prefer math and history. Intuitive people prefer thinking of the future, abstract ideas and possibilities like language. Intuitives are more likely to enjoy reading and daydreaming.

T/F - Decision-making
Thinking/feeling refers to how you make decisions. Thinkers tend to be more focused on justice and practicality whereas feelers make decisions based on how others will feel. Thinkers are the tough love kind and feelers are the fun parents.

J/P - Schedule
Judging/perceiving measures how you like to arrange your time. Judging people like to have a routine and a set schedule, they need plans and order like civilized human beings. Perceiving people like to leave their time open to take whatever opportunities might come up, they don't need a plan or a routine and they're monsters.

ISTJ - The Examiner
Disney -  Belle (Beauty and the Beast)
HP - Severus Snape
ISTJs are responsible and proud, they enjoy critical thinking and problem solving. Like finding a way out of imprisonment whether you're being held captive by a monster or your unrequited love for a dead woman. Although...I suppose neither Belle nor Snape really ever got out of those respective predicaments.

ISFJ - The Defender

Disney - Mulan (Mulan)
HP - Neville Longbottom
Obviously Mulan is going to be the defender of the Disney realm, and all of China. And Neville achieved defender status when he samuraied Nagini. Oh...spoiler alert. ISFJs are reserved, analytical and fiercely protective over loved ones and dragons that sound like Eddie Murphy.

INFJ - The Counselor

Disney - Genie (Aladdin)
HP - Remus Lupin
You ain't never had a friend like an INFJ. Counselors are idealists who will do anything they can to help their friends, except turn them into a prince. The most they're willing to do in that department is give you some princely props.

INTJ - The Strategist

Disney - Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove)
HP - Dobby 
INTJs are the ultimate planners. They plot and scheme to meet their goals of killing llamas or maiming wizards. Strategists are curious, decisive and ambitious. I would recommend making an INTJ your maid of honor, party planner or cat.

ISTP - The Craftsman
Disney - Fairy Godmother (Cinderella)
HP - Harry Potter
Craftsmen (and women) are virtuosos who hone their skills and work their magic. Known to get their hands dirty and explore, the ISTPs of the world are confident in their ability to effect change for people and pumpkins alike.

ISFP - The Artist
Disney - Alice (Alice in Wonderland)
HP - Nymphadora Tonks
Artists like Alice and Tonks see the world differently. They like to be adventurous with their tea parties and hair colors. ISFPs get curiouser and curiouser every day.

INFP - The Dreamer

Disney - Rapunzel (Tangled)
HP - Luna Lovegood
INFPs have very active imaginations, see the good in everything and value harmony. They keep their head in the clouds and their blonde hair all over the place. Dreamers have been known to clean, cook, read, read, paint and have really weird glasses.

INTP - The Architect

Disney - Elsa (Frozen)
HP - Lucius Malfoy
The exact opposite of me, INTPs are builders who understand the importance of a solid foundation of ice, evil and hair bleach. Architects are known for their understanding of logistics, innovation and luscious white hair.

ESTP - The Promoter
Disney - Moana (Moana)
HP - Fred & George Weasley
ESTPs have big ideas and they'll risk anything to get them out there, especially if that means a chance to be the center of attention. Whether you're in charge of a joke shop or an island, there's no telling how far you'll go. Steady as The Rock. You'll find success no matter where you are. Okay, I'm done now.

ESFP - The Performer

Disney - Megara (Hercules)
HP - Bellatrix Lestrange
My personal favorites (I'm ONE letter away), performers are spontaneous, excitable and energetic. I won't say I'm in love with ESFPs, but lestranger things have happened.


ENFP - The Champion
Disney - Merida (Brave)
HP - Ron Weasley
Merida and Ron are true ENFPs, free spirits who can fit in anywhere from the chessboard to the archery...range? Field? Court? The fiery red hair isn't a requirement, but a fiery attitude is.

ENTP - The Inventor
Disney - Flik (A Bug's Life)
HP - Hermione Granger
Full of ingenuity, quick wit and fabulous ideas, inventors love to work smarter, not harder even if that means turning into a bird or cat. Smart enough to take on evil grasshoppers and stupid Jack Russell terriers, kind enough to use their powers for good. And grains.

ESTJ - The Supervisor

Disney - Zazu (The Lion King)
HP - Dolores Umbridge
I hate comparing Zazu to the most evil character in the entire Harry Potter franchise, but here we are. ESTJs value order, and I'm not talking about the Order of the Phoenix. Supervisors are known to stand up for tradition, rules and pink.

ESFJ - The Provider

Disney - Simba (The Lion King) 
HP - Narcissa Malfoy
ESFJs are caregivers, they just want to keep everyone happy like yours truly. Say what you will about Cissy, she has her character flaws, but her only goal was to protect Draco and in the end her love for him made Harry's victory possible. And Simba's mad decent too.

ENFJ - The Teacher

Disney - Mr. Ray (Finding Nemo)
HP - Albus Dumbledore
Ahhh, the teachers. ENFJs are real people persons (I think people people sounds better) who are excellent at guiding others, imparting wisdom and growing sick beards. Show the ENFJs in your life a little love May 1st - 5th for Teacher Appreciation Week.

ENTJ - The Maverick

Disney - Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
HP - Sirius Black
Mavericks have big dreams, charisma and can easily adapt to new situations so they're never a fish out of water (good one Rachel). ENTJs are curious, flexible and misunderstood, like you were in middle school.
