✨MBTI Types as Movie Characters🎥
The Analysts🔍🧠 (NTs)
-------------------------------------------
ENTJ, The Commander
Miranda Priestly // The Devil Wears Prada
One of my favorite movies. The Alpha Bitch, Editor and Chief of Runway, played by the always incredible Meryl Streep, is definitely an ENTJ. She's ambitious, intelligent, and a strong, but suave leader who values efficiency and expects people to be at their best. All stacking up to create a chic as all shit powerhouse of success. Some find her cold and even heartless, but as we see later in the movie, she's actually a sensitive person who secretly doesn't like her ice queen reputation, but deals with it as a part of having haters. Another very ENTJ aspect to her character is the fierce love she has for her family (especially her daughters, whom she'd kill for) and her closest friends. Lastly let's not for get her smooth talking ability to burn people with some seriously clever and iconic lines.
Bonus:
ENTP, The Debater
Wade Wilson // Deadpool & Deadpool 2
In my opinion, hands down the best superhero movie(s). Played and directed by Canada's Golden Boy, Ryan Reynolds, Wade Wilson, the lovable and hilarious antihero, known by his alias Deadpool, is a classic ENTP. Yes his trademark blunt wit and chaotic style alone give off serious ENTP vibes, but what really sells his character as The Debater is his determination. No matter if its something small like being screwed on an unfair coupon policy, a deep meaningful principle, or fighting for someone they love, either their determination wins out or they'll die trying. This characteristic is actually the driving force of BOTH movies. In the first installment we see Wade fighting to save the love of his life from his old nemesis (in typical superhero fashion), but Wade's ENTP-ness gets a huge boost in the second installment where we see him fight to protect a mutant boy, he barely knows, who he first meets at a mutant reform school, which lets be honest is just an allegory for conversion therapy camp.
Bonus:
INTJ, The Architect
Clarice Starling // The Silence of the Lambs
Award winning, continuously suspenseful, and tastefully creepy, this horror thriller is one the best. Jodi Foster won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as FBI Cadet, Clarice Starling. A more underrated INTJ fictional character, but a perfect fit nonetheless. The mere fact that Clarice is not even an actual agent yet and is already pulled onto a serial killer case, by the head of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit (now the Behavioral Analysis Unit) is a clear mark of an INTJ. The Architect's famous organized intellect trait is the catalyst (the reason she was chosen) for Clarice's decent into the madness of the Buffalo Bill Case. Tasked with interviewing psychiatrist and serial killer (with a genius level IQ) Dr. Hannibal Lecter aka Hannibal the Cannibal, to get his view on the case. Clarice keeps completely calm and focused as Lecter attempts to manipulate and rattle her. Not only solving the breadcrumb puzzle Lecter sends her on to find Buffalo Bill, but at one point even being a step ahead of the genius psychopath. And let's not forget her super INTJ moment in where we see her her breaking down next to her car and crying from the immense stress she's under, to immediately compartmentalizing and getting a 10/10 score at the FBI shooting range.
Bonus:
INTP, The Logician
Alice Kingsley// Alice in Wonderland (2010)
One of my all time favorite movies, Tim Burton's 2010 continuation to the original story, (written by Lewis Carrol and made into a Disney animated movie) takes Alice's character from a simple curious little girl to a deeper young adult character. Mia Wasikowska plays a nineteen year old Alice who finds herself (to her chagrin) at her surprise engagement party where a boring and utterly obnoxious young Lord is to propose. After several awkward interactions: from her crazy Aunt, to her aristocratic future mother in-law, and finding her sister's husband with another woman, she ends up in front of the entire party being proposed to. And in true INTP fashion she makes a faint excuse and physically runs from her problems. Eventually falling down the rabbit hole, a good metaphor for the chaotic inter working of an INTP's mind, she finds herself in a place called Underland. Alice's personal objective in the movie (unlike most who's objective would be to escape the weird world) is to discover if she's dreaming, going mad, or if she's actually been there before, stopping every now and then to do a few rebellious acts to help her friends. There were many characters I've seen for the INTP, all are well thought out and accurate, however I think Logicians can relate the most to Alice's need for independence, intense curiosity, loath for societal expectations, awkward but confident demeanor and increasingly out of the box thinking.
