I have a confession to make.

I am obsessed with Myers-Briggs personality types. I could sit on the internet all day long reading about myself if I could. In fact, I HAVE. The personality types are scarily accurate. (You can read all about yourself if you take the test here.) I’ve taken it several times, and sometimes I get an ISFJ, and sometimes I get an INFJ. Most recently I was an INFJ, but I relate to both. Fun fact: INFJ’s make up only 1% of the population, so Emily here is a rare specimen.

Being an IN/SJ, I love relating to people. According to several websites, this can be a bad thing, because I tend to be picky about my friends and thus have a hard time making them. WHICH – helloooo, bookworm over here – IS WHY FICTIONAL CHARACTERS MAKE MUCH BETTER FRIENDS.

In friendship it is as though INFJs are searching for a soul mate, someone who shares every facet of their passions and imagination. (x)

queen elsa from frozen

We like to hide out in our bedrooms. We have strong emotions we don’t know what to do with. And we both have to deal with pesky little sisters at times. (Both named Anna, would you look at that.)

rory gilmore from gilmore girls

Rory Gilmore is said to be both INFJ and ISFJ, just like meeeeee! She loves to read, is incredibly smart, and has great taste in boys. (HE READ JANE AUSTEN FOR HER.)

meg march from little women by louisa alcott

Fun fact: I was doing some research and Little Women is evidently a good classic book for ISFJ’s to read. I’ve been in love with this story since I was eight, and Meg has always been a favorite March sister of mine. She’s the eldest of the four (go figure, right?) and she’s very sensible.

marlin from finding nemo

You know Marlin. Marlin, Nemo’s dad?? The worry wart. The one who would do anything for his son. I can see it. Besides, he’s sarcastic and is bad at jokes and that is 100% Emily.

elizabeth bennet from pride & prejudice

Lizzie and I are one in the same. Kind of judgmental (there’s the J in ISFJ) – we all know how she treated dear Darcy at the beginning. She likes alone time, and again, she is very witty. Quick with the comebacks too. (Jane Austen is said to be an ISFJ, too! I KNEW IT.)

cinderella

I cannot see the Disney version of Cinderella, no no no. She’s much too go-with-the-flow if you ask me. But take Danielle from Ever After? Or Sam from A Cinderella Story? (Both Cinderella retellings.) I love their sassiness and hard work ethic. Their prince was never their main priority – but in the end they got him anyway right?? 🙂

kathleen kelly from you’ve got mail

Yesssss. My favorite movie. *swoon* She owns a bookstore, has a hard time standing up for herself (but once she gets enough she is DONE man!), loves daisies… and Tom Hanks plays the love interest. Ummm YES.

mia thermopolis from the princess diaries

Goofy. Clumsy… very intelligent. And every time I watch the movie, Mia’s princess transformation really inspires me. On a side note, as Jane Austen (who’s not a fictional character, just a writer of them, but whatever) and Mia Thermopolis, Anne Hathaway has played two ISFJ’s. (Becoming Jane is THE BEST movie ever, just sayin’.)

so what’s your myers-briggs personality type??! and what fictional characters are like you? and tell me: are you as interested in personality types as me? aren’t they the coolest?
