Have you ever wondered why people are different from one another, yet so alike? And why is that in the same situation, you would choose to do something others would not? The Myers & Briggs Foundation has an answer for this. They introduce Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, to categorize people into 16 personalities with each made up of 4 letters. These letters interact with each other in an opposite manners, revealing how you gain and direct your energy, how you take in information, how your mind process and draw conclusions, and how you connect with the outside world.
You can figure out what type you are based on your preferences and understanding of your own self. However, an assessment would be a more objective and official method if you are struggling to decide. The results will change as you learn and grow, so you can float between different types through time.

The Foundation also gives a detailed explanation about what the letters stand for and their highlighted characteristics:
Extraversion (E) directs and gains energy from the outside world
Introversion (E) gets energy from connecting with inner self.
Sensing (S) focuses on details and what is happening at the present
Intuition (N) pays attention to hidden meanings, recognizes pattern and future possibilities.
Thinking (T) comes to a decision based on principles and deductive logic.
Feeling (F) relies on ethical and personal values, and what is best for other people before reaching a conclusion or final action.

She will listen, understand and help you overcome your fear and challenges. You will see yourself in her journey of finding purpose in life, in the little things she enjoys and in the love she spreads everywhere she goes.

So Syncd, a dating app based on MBTI personality, has taken a deeper look into Neil Perry's personality and identity. They come to a conclusion that ENFJ would best describe him. He has a big heart, high EQ, and special ability to be empathetic to others. He understands and seeks to help people become their best self. Neil is also an ambitious person who, in one way or anther, has to stick to his goals and follow his passion. As a result, he is a big influence to others around him, and a gifted leader.

She loves helping people and using her creative mind to find solutions to problems. There is never a dull moment with Sol, she is a professional yapper and you will find comfort in her presence.
infj personality: loki laufeyson (loki)
The Advocate: quiet mystical idealist
According to PDB (Personality Database) Classics, Loki would fit into the INFJ personality type. He does not like showing his feelings, but on the other hand is a big empath who can read other's emotions flawlessly. Therefore, it is easy for him to "sweet talk" and manipulate people into being pawns in his chess game, the revenge that he devises as an explosion for grudges he has been holding. He values uniqueness, and is desperate to prove himself and his ability to the world.

I think it is always fun to know which MBTI I am and whether or not I have the same one as my favorite characters. It makes me feel understood and more confident in expressing myself after seeing how "cool" I am in the shows.
I took the test and it turns out Loki and I have the same MBTI. We are both INFJs and would have been besties in another universe. How about you? Does your favorite character and you share the same MBTI?
