Which MBTI type are the characters from Breaking Bad?

In the latest entry, the types of the characters from the TV show Game of Thrones, based on the book series, was investigated.

In this next entry, the MBTI types of the characters from Breaking Bad will be investigated.

Walter White is one of the most well developed characters on TV today. Walter White is a token example of an INTJ type gone bad, and there is much evidence to support this. Walter White is introverted, as seen especially in the first season in which he prefers to isolate himself from others and only talks when necessary. This creates problems, as Skyler is an extrovert and wants him to speak more to her. He is also intuitive, due to his advanced complex knowledge of chemistry. He is a thinker, with a disregard for other people’s feelings making all his decisions logically (Te), and making them all with long term visions in mind (Ni). This makes him an INTJ.

Skyler is an ESFJ, representing the typical wife who is loyal to her husband until her trust starts to fade. When she finds out that Walter is in the drug business, she is absolutely disgusted due to how immoral it is; she values his trust, and wants to help him throughout the first two seasons, but as she discovers more, we see her emotional state deteriorate. She values structure and order (Si) and when she finds out the truth, she begins to fear the power that she realizes her husband possesses, as evident by her noticeable reactions (Fe).

Jesse Pinkman is an ESFP. He is often impulsive and takes risks, and is not very organized. This occurs with many ESFP’s who are not interested in schooling. He enjoys thrills (Se) but is still motivated by morals (Fi) and often questions the ruthless decisions Walter makes.

Gus is much the same as Walter, only more powerful to begin with. With the death of Gus at the end of season four, many fans argued that Walter was going to become the new Gus. This is due to the similar personality that they both possess. Gus is controlling and cautious, and devious and introverted, another prime example of an INTJ gone bad.

Other characters:

  • Hank- ESTP
  • Marie- ESFP
  • Walt Jr- ISFP
  • Mike- ISTJ
  • Saul- ENTP

Which MBTI type is most likely to write?

After filling many different requests of what to write about, I forgot about one comment that was particularly important for me to write about, however I was reminded when I was requested to write about MBTI and writing via email. This reminded me of the comment above, and encouraged me to answer this very question.

After surveying the internet, I discovered a few noticeable trends. Firstly, on the MBTI related articles I found a significantly high number of readers and writers who are INFJ’s; it was still higher than usual when considering the over population of INFJ’s who are interested in MBTI. Secondly, when looking at writers and authors in general, I discovered how many were quiet, creative, often emotional people; INFJ’s and INFP’s.

This got me thinking; why are INFJ’s so interested in writing?

Introverts are often described as having the ability to think deeply and for a thorough amount of time. Many introverts are better at communicating a message via writing rather than speaking. This is due to their ability to focus on the one topic for a long period of time. In the case of writing for long periods of time, introverts can focus on their subject without being distracted from the outside world, making introverts most likely to write.

Secondly, intuitive people are generally more analytical thinkers, meaning they have the ability to summarize and conclude the messages they want to present in a text as they can see the connections and underlying connotations in texts. They also have the ability to create ideas off the top of their heads.

On the one hand, objective writing can be found in scientific text books and non-fiction, which is where thinking types most likely will be found writing. However, with a larger number of topics in the non-fiction world, and with an arguably more interesting writing field in opinion based blog in today’s world, feeling type’s dominate the writing industry due to their ability to capture the desire of what a reader wants to read, and due to the interesting topics that surround the feeling type writing medium.

Finally, judging types are more determined to achieve in the writing industry. Judging types are organized and effecient, and whilst many perceivers will have the ideas, they may not complete them and put them to paper. This can best explain why INFJ’s are most likely to write.

What do you want me to write about next? Leave a suggestion in the comments below, and I will address it if it is a reasonable request.

Which MBTI type are the characters from Star Wars? (Old and New Trilogy)

After the first article written about the characters from Harry Potter, and a second article being written about Lord of the Rings, an article has been written about the Star Wars triology- both the characters from the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy.Remember some characters may overlap in both series!

Original trilogy

The protagonist of the original trilogy was Luke Skywalker, who is an ESTP. He is a typical adventuring young male. Being good mechanically, a common trait of TP types, and always wanted to explore and adventure as an XSTP, Luke Skywalker always manages to find a way out of the most dangerous situations.

Han Solo is an ESTP without a doubt. He is a risk taker, as evident when he was involved in the risky business with Jabba the Hut. He is also sarcastic and good at getting out of dangerous situations, such as the asteroid situation with a very low chance, he survived!

Princess Leia is an ESTJ. She wants everything to go as planned and seems to be the one controlling a lot of the decisions that occur. She often gets stressed out and cannot easily adapt. She is often rude and condescending, but honest all the same.

R2D2 is an INTP- a type often described as a walking encylopedia, this robot fits the role. C3PO, on the otherhand, is an ESFJ, acting as the normal, social accustomed one of the two, never afraid to express how it is feeling.

Darth Vader/Annakin Skywalker is an ENTJ. The third movie of the prequel trilogy shows this side of Annakin Skywalker and his ability to be corrupted; a challenge many ENTJ’s face; morals versus power. Annakin is highly ambitious and wants respect, and when that is not given to him, he gradually becomes Darth Vader.

Yoda first appears as a crazy creature in the original trilogy that isn’t quite sure what they are doing, but it becomes evident that he is wise with many years of experience. He represents INTP’s well.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is an INFJ. Obi-Wan is wise and patient, and tries his best to help out Annakin. He is guided by his morals of following the good side of the force.

Finally, Palpatine/Darth Sidius is the main antagonist of the films, and is an INTJ. He is plotting for power, and acts as a typical powerful and manipulative INTJ.

Other characters include:

  • Chewbacca- ISFP
  • Padme Amidala- ENFJ
  • Jabba the Hut- ESTP
  • Darth Maul- INTJ
  • General Grievious- ENTJ
  • Mace Windu- ISTJ
  • Jar Jar- ESFP
  • Shmi Skywalker (Annakin’s mother)- ESFJ
  • Qui-Gon Jinn- INTJ
  • Antilles- ESTP
  • Lando Calrissian- ESTJ
  • Admirrel Piet- ENTP

Which MBTI type likes certain music genres?

Please note, this article is a little different from the usual articles. I hope you enjoy, as I have spent a few days trying to put this one together, and finally decided to release it today. Enjoy!

One question I have heard many people ask, whether knowledgeable of MBTI or not, is the effect of personality on music taste. This is a question I not only want to address in relation to MBTI, but also in relation to all musical genres.

Very little research was done on the psychology of music up until the 20th century. However, it wasn’t until the 21st century that many noticeable trends were established. Many research studies have used the Big Five to measure the effects of personality on music preferences. It is firstly important to establish how the Big Five relates to MBTI. The Big Five has five traits that relate very much to the MBTI traits. These are openness to experience (similar to intuition versus sensor it is about having an open mind to ideas), agreeableness (similar to feeling versus thinking), extraversion (similar to extrovert versus introvert it is about the external world), conscientiousness (similar to judging versus perceiving, it is about the desire for task efficiency) and finally neuroticism (this is about emotional stability). To establish this research, it is important firstly to investigate the research on music tastes for certain genres, and investigate how the research relates to Big Five and therefore MBTI.

Extraversion (I vs E)

Research shows that extroverts prefer happy music like pop, hip-hop, rap, electronic music. A few theories could explain this. Firstly, extroverts are more likely to follow the popular crowd. They will listen to what is popular to talk about it with other people, whereas introverts are more about making decisions based on themselves. Secondly, extroverts generally do prefer music that doesn’t require too much thinking; considering they often focus on a few tasks at once, rather than just listening to music by itself. This is further supported, as research also shows that extroverts listen to music more and have more background music present (perhaps due to their ability to multitask?) Source

Openness (N vs S)

Openness has been shown to be one of the highest traits, therefore the difference between N and S results in a higher difference than the other letters. This makes sense, as perceiving music is one of the most influential differences in why we like certain genres. Studies show that intuitive people prefer more complex music, including classical and jazz. Source  This makes sense; this type of person have a greater appreciation for aesthetic appreciation.

Agreeableness (F vs T)

Unsurprisingly, feeling types are more emotionally affected by the music they listen to. This is because feeling types are more subjective than thinkers. Source t

Conscientiousness (J vs P)

Research shows perceiving types tend to be less judgmental of music, and will be more likely to enjoy a range of genres. Judging types, on the other hand, are more likely to enjoy exclusive genres. This can be explained because perceiving types are often more open and accepting than judging types.
