Myers Briggs / Examples of Idealist Personalities in Stories

Information | Guardians | Artisans | Rationals | Idealists |

---

Idealists long for meaningful communication and relationships. They search for profound truths hidden beneath the surface, often expressing themselves in metaphor. Focused on the future, they are enthusiastic about possibilities, and they continually strive for self-renewal and personal growth. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible selves — always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement driving their imagination - and they yearn to help others make the journey too.They are influenced more by action than by thought, as they are not felt as much by the external world. Also try to occupy space, be full of energy, and give solutions and proposals for everything. Another trait is diplomacy, empathy, and benevolence. In addition, they gain self-confidence for being autonomous and altruism for believing in a better future, being guided by intuition. Among the four personality types, idealists are the most enthusiastic. With their energy and faith in the future, they have a talent for making other people more excited too. Because they have a dreamy profile and like to make long-term plans, idealists are ideal people to lead long-term projects.

Interests: Idealists tend to study the humanities. They seek careers facilitating the personal growth of others, whether through education, counseling, or other pursuits that promote the happiness and fulfillment of individuals and society.

Orientation: The lives of Idealists are guided by their devotion to their personal ethics (though they can easily drop them, for a higher purpose). They are altruistic, taking satisfaction in the well-being of others. They believe strongly in the basic goodness of the world and of the people in it. They take a holistic view toward suffering and misfortune, regarding them as part of a larger, unknowable truth, a mystical cause-and-effect. With an eye toward the future, they view life as a journey toward a deeper spiritual knowledge.

Values: The emotions of Idealists are both easily aroused and quickly discharged. Their general demeanor is enthusiastic. They trust their intuition and yearn for romance. They seek deeper self-knowledge and want to be understood for who they are behind the social roles they are forced to play. They aspire to wisdom that transcends ego and the bounds of the material world.

Social roles: Idealists seek mutuality in their personal relationships. Romantically, they want a soulmate with whom they can share a deep spiritual connection. As parents, they encourage their children to form harmonious relationships and engage in imaginative play. In their professional and social lives, Idealists strive to be catalysts of positive change.

INFP (Healer)

INFP Healers have a tranquil and reserved exterior that masks a passionate inner life. Of all the types, they (as well as Counselors) are driven the most by idealistic faith, even more perhaps than their more outspoken counterparts. Healers care deeply about causes that interest them, and they often pursue those causes with selfless devotion. They are highly compassionate and empathetic to the needs of others, seeking to bring peace, health, and integrity to their companions and to society at large. They want to heal the problems that trouble individuals and correct the conflicts that divide social groups.

Examples

Anime & Manga

• Sasha Braus from Attack on Titan is reclusive and withdrawn despite her loud and excitable behavior; she is usually only seen on her own or in small groups. She is strongly intuitive and lets her gut instinct and feelings lead her before much else and has trouble following the rules and maintaining structure.
• Orihime Inoue from Bleach is an actual healer who's super peaceful, creative, dreamy, and sensitive. She always wants to do the right thing, even healing villains (Fi-Dominant). She comes up with many random ideas and tends to zone out of/reject reality or get stuck on tangents. She has lots of Ne (Extroverted Intuition) and mistypes as an ENFP, but she is more introverted, wanting to fade in the background since she feels incompetent (Inferior Te).
• Tachibana Makoto from Free!. Though he has a kind, hospitable, sympathetic nature, and is capable of being sociable, he only ever really associates with a small circle of friends. And he especially clings to who he is most comfortable with - Haruka. He is shown being very uncomfortable when too much attention is drawn to him, and prefers to be a support to others rather than the focus of support. He is timid and extremely self-sacrificing (even seeming to derive enjoyment and fulfillment from said self-sacrifice), and it takes him a longer amount of time than others to learn how to be okay with wanting things for himself. In the end, things even out, and he is seen being happier while staying with Haruka and pursuing his dreams.
• Nodoka Hanadera from Healin' Good♡Pretty Cure, after dealing with a chronic illness since childhood, has grown up with a soft, gentle personality, and a great deal of idealism for the fate of both herself and the planet.
• Mashiro Nijigaoka from Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure is gentle and kind, and very introverted compared to the more enthusiastic Sora and Ageha. She is idealistic, shown via her comforting a younger Ageha when they were children and Ageha's family had to move, assuring her that they would see each other again.
• Saaya Yakushiji from HuGtto! Pretty Cure is the calm, relaxed foil to the more energetic, sporty Hana and Homare. She is introverted and gentle, to go along with her angel theming. In a literal take on the role, she has a nurse theme as well.
• Yu Ishigami from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an introvert who's deeply connected to his personal feelings and values, and a Nice Guy with a strong desire to help others despite his pessimistic nature (Fi). He does have both good imaginative and perceptive skills (Ne-Si); on the other hand, he isn't very practical, being quite the type that struggles with discipline, and despite his kind nature, he tends to become blunt under stress, especially with people who get on his nerves (Te). This analysis describes him perfectly indeed.
• Riko Izayoi from Maho Girls Pretty Cure! is introverted and idealistic, wanting to become a grand witch, but also insecure and worrisome about the future.
• Neon Genesis Evangelion:
  • Kaworu Nagisa from is an introvert who tries his best to understand and sympathize with humans, specifically Shinji. In his most famous scene, after he decides to rebel against SEELE, he asks Shinji to kill him, for he has decided to sacrifice himself for his sake, after deciding humans and Angels aren't that different and that humans deserve a better future.
  • Shinji Ikari is very introverted and deeply sensitive to slights and always seeks to be validated for existing. Deeply emotional Fi (introverted feeling) open to all Ne (extroverted intuition) he replays all bad memories over and over and over again in vivid detail Si (introverted sensing) but is not very reasonable or rational or strategic sometimes Te (extroverted thinking) his emotions are always seen first before logic.
• Madoka Kaname from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a shy girl on the outside, but she has an endless desire to make everybody she knows happy. If she feels that a rule is preventing that from happening, she will selflessly sacrifice herself for the good of everyone else. In the end, she gives up her very existence in order to rescue every magical girl in history from the Despair Event Horizon.
• Kanade Minamino from Suite Pretty Cure ♪ is a gentle, introverted baker who enjoys making others around her happy. She becomes the Team Mom for the Cures, but because of her feelings of inadequacy, she tends to short-change herself in terms of setting goals and dealing with her feelings towards Ouji.

Film

• Pietro Maximoff or Quicksilver from Avengers: Age of Ultron is a reckless and rash person. He is driven by his emotions. He loves his sister more than anything and is always looking out for her. He relives his past due to his heartbreak over the death of his parents. Even though he is older than his sister, she is the more dominant and leader-like of the two. He tends to follow her lead.
• Dead Poets Society: Todd Anderson is a soft-spoken, introverted student, newly transferred to Welton Academy, where his brother was valedictorian. He starts out having trouble speaking up for himself, but thanks to his roommate Neil and professor John Keating, he gradually starts to open up. And after Neil's death, we see that Todd was the true protagonist all along and the plot was actually about his growth and development, and the movie ends with him literally standing up to the school's decision to fire Mr. Keating, leading other students to also take a stand.
• Elsa from Frozen is concerned with her sister's well-being, is often driven by a desire for self-knowledge, and often lashes out with her inferior Extraverted Thinking. She's not great with conflict, often avoiding it whenever there's an opportunity to. Despite this, she's creative, ultimately being able to overcome her past trauma to resolve her relationship with her sister.

• Star Wars has Luke Skywalker, a farm boy with ambition. Though quite reserved, he still relentlessly and selflessly puts his own life in mortal danger not just for those he's attached to, but to the greater moral cause of the Rebel Alliance and to redeeming his fallen Jedi father from the clutches of The Dark Side. He seemed to have inherited this morality from his ENFJ mother Padme.

Literature

• Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter is quiet and dreamy. She believes in what's in her heart without letting others' harsh reality bring her down. She is very loyal to her friends and her family, and will never settle over her beliefs over external pressure, whether by fellow students or by death eaters. She is a great believer in the impossible. She's also very empathetic and uncannily perceptive when it comes to people.

Live-Action TV

• Willow Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is energized by spending time alone and feels awkward among people she doesn’t already know, particularly in large groups. Although she is slow to open up to others, the bonds she makes with people, such as Buffy and Xander, are deep and long-lasting. She finds it easy to comprehend abstract subject matter, and can readily understand how things fit into the bigger picture, often talking in terms of concepts and ideas rather than specific details. Guided by her feelings, she is a very emotionally intelligent and expressive person, in tune with both her own feelings and the feelings of others. She is easily affected by emotional situations and doesn’t understand unkindness or insensitivity, finding fault with people like Anya because of their lack of finesse. She is generally open minded and flexible, being slow to judge and uncomfortable with jumping to conclusions, preferring to gather all the information before making a decision.
• Wilson Fisk from Daredevil (2015) is a very rare example of breaking from the INFP-being-heroes stereotype. He is introverted, idealistic in his goals, likes to mediate in the criminal underworld, his violent tantrums suggest a very unhealthy Fe, has the emotional need to connect with the people he loves, a sense of devotion in his ambitions, and has demonstrated a capacity to impose authority and respect when he has to. He has also demonstrated an ability to think of ways to put his great ideas into practice and also to protect himself with impunity.
• Ross Geller from Friends is a loving, caring, and at times awkward character, who values the ones he loves more than anything else. Despite being in love with Rachel throughout the series, instead of going after her, he ends up with other women when the opportunity presents itself, fully committing himself to his relationships.
• Father Mulcahy from M*A*S*H is a standard INFP. He has a strong internal moral code which he uses to identify himself and direct his actions, a vision of how the world should be, and a desire to do what he can to make that vision come to be. He is a perfectionist who takes little things personally, and can react intensely and irrationally to what he considers an attack on his moral foundation. Yet he is open minded and compassionate, preferring the diplomatic approach to resolving conflict. He provides an interesting contrast to Hawkeye's ENFP.
• Once Upon a Time:
  • Henry Mills seems to be an INFP. This kid rarely listens to authority when he personally feels like they are wrong (Fi) introverted feeling, like his biological mother, he's a self-proclaimed loner, lazy but brilliant, and has one heck of a wild imagination (Ne).
  • Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold seems to be a very corrupt, cowardly (in a socially stigmatized sense), and broken INFP anti-hero/anti-villain. He exhibits many traits of an unhealthy INFP with unhealthily overdeveloped dominant introverted feeling, and underdeveloped auxiliary extraverted intuition to the point where he just listens to his internal fears and keeps them all in to the point where he can become selfish and doesn't gather enough good data for his decision making process with his Ne and look at the big picture. Thus, he uses guilt manipulation, tells half-truths, and doesn't always know what to do in times of facing emotional distress and conflict. Rumple's extroverted intuition does emerge, however, in the sense that he is an extreme perfectionist who is highly dedicated to those he loves more than anything, yet his chronic addiction to dark power partially influenced by the curse and partially influenced by his own fears never leave him totally satisfied with the good things he already has in his life and he is always envisioning a future for himself and those he loves where he can have it all; true love, power, acceptance, and the ability to be a hero. Rumple's introverted feeling, however, with his many fears is so overdeveloped that all he can ever foretell is doom with the good life that he already had with Belle right in front of him.
• Kotoha Hanaori from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is The Heart and The Pollyanna, even though she is always faced with misery and trouble due to her clumsiness. She always tries to be positive and optimistic, yet she is quite shy and even doubts her skill. She is the one who understands and can compromise with the rebellious and free yet sarcastic Chiaki. She also usually sees people very positively.
• Fox Mulder from The X-Files is "spooky", reclusive, and a believer in the paranormal. He is also self-absorbed and abrasive. He focuses on the paranormal and the supernatural to the exclusion of most else. He cares deeply for his loved ones, however, and is able to make connections with people over time. According to Scully, his communication skills could use some work.
• Neil from The Young Ones is very much so a loner (though still very attention seeking), concerned with painting astrological charts and moaning about how heavy life is. Though quite selfish at times, he's a server to the happiness and well-being of his flatmates, attempts to be helpful, is highly sensitive, and while not very bright, possesses the strongest moral compass of the four, with a desire for peace. When not mopey, Neil often voices idealistic or abstract ideas concerning situations or life in general.

Video Games

• Emiya Shirou, from Fate/stay night. He has a strong sense of morals, a rather small circle of friends and family figures, and is greatly invested in his dream of being a Hero of Justice, taking inspiration from his adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu. He goes to extreme lengths to make sure nobody is hurt, to the point of sacrificing his well-being for the sake of others, at the same time showing a huge lack of self-worth. Others point out how illogical he is, and more often than not he gets emotional over other characters' conflicts. His inner world is reflected (in a quite literal way) through Unlimited Blade Works.
• Lucina of Fire Emblem: Awakening is a seemingly aloof individual at first, and is generally calm. However, she is extremely passionate about whatever she puts her mind to, to an almost unhealthy extent, and would take any steps necessary to ensure the world doesn't go to hell, no matter what it costs her personally. She also values the bonds between her and her comrades very highly, and while she is a Socially Awkward Hero, she genuinely wants to understand others.
• Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4 is a deeply atypical example of an INFP. Originally a Shrinking Violet in childhood, she happened on the chance to become an idol through a lottery that she won, and quickly developed a Genki Girl stage persona for herself known as 'Risette' that became idolized by the masses. This causes any superficial appearances of her to be a teasing optimist, but she soon felt a deep identity crisis; both from her own initial self-desires to become an idol to make friends, but also because her mask wasn't her true self (Fi-dom). Eventually calling upon her childhood in Yasoinaba, she would return wanting peace and quiet and to go back as they were (Si-tert, also demonstrating a Fi-Si loop) while repressing herself. It's not until she confronts her Shadow that she begins opening up to the world; a deeply imaginative and bubbly girl who often comes off as spontaneous and deeply creative (Ne-aux) and ultimately uses information based on whatever she finds objective and true — be it her status as Mission Control and own efficiency in the real world (Te-inf) — to be the crux of her pushing forward to create the kind of world she wants to live in and express herself (Fi-Ne-Si-Te). She may seem to be superficially a more bubbly or spontaneous personality (like ESFP or ENFJ), but that's her mask; Rise's true self is a lot more individualistic and quiet, and often has her retreat from the world when sufficiently stressed. With all these in mind and how much she buckles the stereotypes, Rise is a great example of an atypical and third-dimensional INFP.
• Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a quiet boy who we can tell, by the carving in his tree, has a great desire for adventure. He is generally shown to have a small circle of friends, namely Saria, and to a lesser extent the Great Deku Tree. He is incredibly trusting, willing to do most tasks he is called upon to do without question, and with great courage. Rather than enlist the help of others, he chooses to go about his duty alone, with only his horse Epona and his guide Navi. A hopeless romantic, Link soon finds himself diving into the most dangerous of Hyrule's depths to save a princess he's talked to for all of five minutes.
• Max Caulfield from Life Is Strange is a quiet, introverted young photographer with a strong individualistic streak. Warm and empathetic, she has a well-developed sense of morality that she stands by no matter what, and a strong desire to use her ability to rewind time as a force for good. Her journal entries and inner thoughts show her to be very introspective and reflective, with a vivid imagination and inner world. She's also shown to be fairly forgetful and scatterbrained.
• Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door:
  • Koops is at first shown as a quiet, awkward individual, and his main motivation for joining Mario is to avenge his father, whom he believes to be dead. Throughout the game he is revealed to be an emotional, idealistic character who is passionately fighting alongside Mario.
  • Vivian as well is emotional and shy, and constantly picked on by her older sisters. However, she lets her feelings guide her, as she betrays them and becomes allies with Mario. She is depicted as a hopeless romantic who may or may not have a crush on Mario.
• Natural "N" Harmonia from Pokémon Black and White and their sequels is a good example of what can happen when an INFP is warped and manipulated by those with less than savory intentions. He's first shown as a mysterious man with questionable social skills (or lack thereof), but he then reveals himself to be the "king" of Team Plasma, and is highly devoted to what it entails. He may lack understanding when it comes to humans due to his sheltered (or, more like deliberately isolated and brainwashed) upbringing, he shows an extreme amount of sympathy and empathy for Pokémon, who he had been taught are being mistreated by trainers, and strongly believes in his mission of liberating them. While he seems like an INFJ at first due to his devotion to his cause, and his initial denial to accept the possibility that he might be wrong, he then starts to doubt what he had been taught and by the end of the first game he resolves to be more open-minded and see the world, leaving behind years of mental programming in the process. However, it should be noted N also has quite a few traits of an INTP as well, due to his high understanding and love of mathematics, equations, and machines, with him often describing things as if they were so, and having a painfully poor grasp of human interaction.
• Sayo Yasuda AKA Yasu, from Umineko: When They Cry is an introverted with a vivid imagination who is fond of using "magic" (actually escapism) to reflect her inner conflicts and sometimes help others. Due to a shattered sense of self, she projects the different aspects of her personality through her personas, Shanon, Kanon and Beatrice. Her downfall comes after a Trauma Conga Line forces her to realize her dreams and hopes are far from possible, leading her to a mental breakdown and committing suicide. As a trademark of an INFP, she has a detailed, rich inner world, more specifically called The Golden Land.

Western Animation

• Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender is a male poster-boy for this type. Feelings come first for him, and he has no trouble dropping plans to be impulsive. He's introverted, valuing his alone time, and is very abstract in his thinking ("honor", "good vs. evil"), as is shown through his ability to act as the Blue Spirit and make astute observations at times. Zuko is an in-depth study of the unhealthy and healthy sides of this type. During Book 1, he's stuck in an inferior grip (only Te functioning), and for most of Books 2 and 3, he's stuck in a dom/tert loop (Fi and Si negatively reinforcing one another, with no input from Ne or Te). He doesn't become a healthy INFP until his Heel–Face Turn is cemented halfway through Book 3.
• Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon. He is very idealistic, values his identity, is sympathetic, has a solid internal moral code, and is chock full of ideas for making the world a better place.
• Ready Jet Go!: Sydney isn't all that introverted, but she's still a kind and caring girl who always helps her friends feel better when they're upset. Sydney serves as the Team Mom of Team Propulsion, looking out for the gang and pushing them to be the best that they can be. Sydney is serene and mellow, rarely getting angry or upset. Despite her accomplishments (like directing a film, getting her fanfic published in an official comic, building a robot, and being an Ace Pilot), she is humble about them.
• Butters from South Park may not be the perfect example of a popular kid, but his idealism leads him to be a caring and forgiving person who always looks on the bright of South Park rather than the dark side.
• Steven Universe:
  • Rose Quartz is a reserved yet caring individual who sees the beauty in everything, including those who aren't as beautiful to others. She always tries to do everything in her power to care for others and always kept secrets from everyone, including Pearl.
  • Blue Diamond oozes Fi, is far too inert and aristocratic to be an ISFP, and her attachment to specific places are read as lower Si. Even before she was all broken by Pink's death, she was in charge of diplomacy and the aristocrats (peacemaking and "specialness" being classic INFP things). Her underlings (at least the high-ranking ones) consider her merciful, at least for a Diamond. Blue is incredibly wrapped up in her inner emotional state and her own perspective; she's pretty sad about her own loss, but doesn't think twice about shattering underlings, the corruption attack, or how Yellow is ending up with all the responsibilities of leading the Empire. In "Steven's Dream", Blue decides to save one human on Earth whom she can relate to, but leaves the others to be blown up, and even then she likes them mostly because they were Pink Diamond's "pets". She gets mildly philosophical/abstract in her conversation with Greg in the same episode. During "The Trial", Blue says right away what her motivation is: "I want to know what she thinks we're going to do with her... because I want do something worse"—by contrast, Yellow is content simply to kill and neutralize "Rose". In general, Blue Diamond is the opposite to Yellow Diamond (ESTJ) on the Fi/Te axis.
• Total Drama:
  • Dawn is partly based on fellow INFP Luna Lovegood, and shares many personality traits with her, including her dreamy mysteriousness and idealism.
  • Rodney falls in love with basically every girl he interacts with, and dreams of the perfect relationship with them. He is shown to be extremely emotional, often bursting into tears in front of girls when he "breaks up" with them, not wanting to hurt their feelings. He doesn't seem to be the most logical character around but is kind and empathetic.
  • Shawn is a secretive, introverted character who is rarely found socializing with his team and has an obsession with zombies. His time on the show revolves around trying to survive a potential zombie apocalypse, and he is extremely passionate about it and sometimes does drastic things just for his cause.

ENFP (Champion)

ENFP Champions have a strong desire to make their thoughts known to the world. When Champions speak or write, they are often hoping to use their convictions to motivate others to participate in advocacy or they hope to reveal a hidden truth about the human experience. Champions are greatly concerned with ethics and justice and have a strong desire to speak about current issues and events. They are the most inspiring and animated of the role variants. They are also good cheerful givers, generous to a fault.

Examples

Anime & Manga

• Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan is fiery and idealistic. He's extremely forceful not only emotionally but in his enthusiastic pursuit of his goals. He has a keen eye for other people's falsehoods but has trouble trusting people, making decisions, and following direct orders. While lacking foresight, he makes up for it with flexibility and persistence.
• Cardcaptor Sakura: The titular character is an all-loving, optimistic hope bringer. Her catchphrase is "Everything will be alright."
• Ran from Delicious Party♡Pretty Cure, a food critic and daughter of restaurant owners, is very energetic and enthusiastic about her love of food. She joined the Cures to prevent the villains from always ruining her meals.

• Ichika from KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode is caring and wants others to be happy, making others smile with her very presence.
• Yui Hirasawa from K-On! is pretty much the quintessential cloudcuckoolander ENFP. An airhead living in her own world, with a hyperactive imagination, yet incredibly brilliant in her own way, she's also very kind, generous, warm, as well as cheerful and optimistic. Of course, organization skills and keeping her focus for long are not her strongest feature, to put it mildly.
• Chisato Nishikigi from Lycoris Recoil is a very good - and surprisingly mature and levelheaded - example. She's a sweet, lighthearted, idealistic, kind and selfless All-Loving Heroine, has excellent intuition and is a lateral thinker, with a very strong personal moral code which sometimes goes against laws technically imposed on her, and despite being kinda eccentric she's definitely intelligent and competent at her tasks.
• Riko from Made in Abyss is also a perfect portrayal of an ENFP. Very inquisitive, cheerful and idealistic, she's a kind and good-natured kid with a curiosity that never dies, and is also surprisingly levelheaded and rational despite her emotional nature that makes her The Heart of the group.
• Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling fits here perfectly. Kind, good-natured, creative and somewhat eccentric, she's a loyal and selfless friend who's always there to support Gojo. She's also extremely passionate about her otaku interests, which she follows along with her values, without any fear of being judged by others.
• Ash Ketchum from Pokémon: The Series has an enthusiasm that's quite infectious to whoever he befriends, be it other people or Pokemon. He often employs battling strategies that makes use of his Pokemon's greatest strengths, regardless of how unorthodox they may be. He's willing to try anything new he comes across, and no matter how many times he fails, he's willing to get back up and try again.
• Hikaru Hoshina from Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure is energetic and headstrong, which makes her clash with her strict grandfather. She is also bubbly and wants to explore space, which she gets a chance to do when she meets Lala the alien and her rocket ship AI.
• Manatsu Natsuumi from Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure is cheerful and energetic. Her main goal is to inspire others to follow through on their goals and remain motivated. She is also fiercely against the villains who want everyone to just give up.
• Kaori Miyazono from Your Lie in April is a textbook, if somewhat more hot-tempered example. Somewhat of a Cloudcuckoolander, she's a free spirit to the bone, energetic, passionate, and cheerful, with her dominant Ne-Fi she first follows her imagination, creativity and values. She never feels bound to rules, is individualistic and does things in her own way.

Film

• No fewer than three of Disney Animation's heroines are ENFPs:
  • Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989) is a distinct ENFP. The main force driving her character is a dream to find a better world than the one she lives in, to lead a romantic, unique and independent life with her one true love. She disobeys her father's wishes, and sets out to make her dream come true on he own. Her optimistic, romantic nature goes against her as she falls for Ursula's tricks, but she remains optimistic and believing in the power of love while facing adversities.
  • Rapunzel from Tangled is an even more extreme version, as she is over-flowing with energy and enthusiasm. Not only she is fully willing to overcome any obstacle to make her dream come true, a dream that has a lot to do with her true identity - a huge issue for any ENFP, she inspires others to pursue their dreams. Her lively demeanor is so contagious she is able to make friends with the toughest criminals and helps them open up their heart to the possibilities the world holds for them, while bursting in song.
  • Anna from Frozen is another example. The main force driving her is her faith in her sister, and she encourages Elsa's creative talents and eagerly offers her support. She dreams of living together as true friends, with Elsa free to be who she is. She is also deeply romantic, and bravely stands for the people dear to her.
• Buddy Hobbes from Elf is outgoing and enthusiastic, and is filled with Christmas spirit all year. He likes to do many different activities and crafts instead of focusing on one thing in particular.
• Star Wars:
  • Qui-Gon Jinn from The Phantom Menace is an unorthodox Jedi Master, unafraid to bend the rules of the Jedi in order to do what is right. Obi-Wan Kenobi notes that if he wasn't so unconventional, he'd probably be offered a place in the Jedi Council. Despite this, Qui-Gon tries to bring out the best in everyone around him, from Obi-Wan to Anakin Skywalker, as others seemed skeptical about the latter's suitability to become a Jedi. There’s disagreement on whether his survival would have had any affect on Anakin’s likelihood of falling to the Dark Side.
  • Anakin Skywalker from the Prequel Trilogy was headstrong and idealistic, with his desires to do what is right often putting him at odds with both the Jedi Council and Obi-Wan, with his short temper frequently getting him into trouble. Unfortunately, this rebellious streak turned to authoritarianism, as he grew disappointed with how ineffectual the Old Republic was becoming, leading him to the Dark Side and becoming the cold, calculating ENTJ Darth Vader.
• Casey Newton from Tomorrowland is extremely optimistic and idealistic. She fervently believe anything is possible. Casey wants to make the world a better place and, with her fiery spirit, won't let anything get in the way of her dreams.

Literature

• Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables is more of an ambivert than a solid ENFP, but she holds all of the characteristics of a typical ENFP. She is optimistic, idealistic, highly sensitive, compassionate, social and very invested in her grand dreams and romantic fantasies of the future. She if often described as one who inspires those around her to be more idealistic, independent in their thinking and caring. She is very drawn to the original, the romantic, the mysterious and the unique. While she is very eager (especially in her teens) to gain popularity, attention and affection, she never compromises her ideals in order to be liked.
• Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices seems to be this when he is not acting under his presumed curse. He is loud and outspoken, but also a deep thinker and someone who is controlled almost entirely by his emotions though an argument could be made for him being an ENTP. He often acts impulsively without thinking.
• Count Olaf from A Series of Unfortunate Events is an ENFP - imaginative, resourceful, and committed to his ideas of what is right. He is very social and very interested in gaining social influence. He has an idea of what his world should be, and uses many different, zany plots to achieve his goals.
• Arya Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire is active, outspoken, and friendly. Though she grows up in a world with strict class and gender barriers, she struggles against those restrictions, making friends with anyone regardless of class and trying to find her own way in life regardless of the rules laid out for her. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, believing that justice should be served, even if she's the one who has to do it.

Live-Action TV

• Phoebe Bufffay from Friends is flooding with intuition and good will. She has a strong set of principles and does her best to stick to them. She understands the feelings of her friends and wants them to be happy.
• Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls is very friendly, talkative, zany and energetic, and also very idealistic. She is fiercely independent, often to a fault, and undergoes great internal conflict whenever she feels she must compromise over her ideals. She is very loyal to her daughter and her friends and will go to great lengths to support them and make them happy. She often spends great deals of effort coming up with creative ways to surprise them and make them happy. However, she has a hard time committing to romantic relationships, as her partners never stand up to her high standards of how a partner should act. She is very perceptive and intuitive of other people's behavior, and often noted for being people smart and very empathetic.
• Marshall Erikson from How I Met Your Mother is trusting, outgoing, loyal, romantic and friendly to the point of being naive. He has a great deal of child like enthusiasm about him, as well as a very mature sense of loyalty to his friends and family. While he is easy going and willing to settle over small matters, he is practically unshakable when it comes to matters of the heart. He has a distinct, nearly Utopian vision of how people should conduct themselves with their partners, friends, family, colleagues and the planet - and continues to believe that this vision and act according to it even after being disappointed with people again and again.
• Dr. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce, of M*A*S*H. Hawkeye is very much a champion of peace and the underdog, prone to acting impulsively and rashly in the name of his ideals. He leads with extroverted intuition, making him full of ideas and almost completely lacking any kind of verbal filter. Thus he likes to hear himself talk just for the sake of talking. His auxiliary function being introverted feeling, Hawkeye has a strong sense of self-identity and right and wrong - and an incorrigible desire to always get in the last word.
• Ryuunosuke Ikenami from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is The Lancer but tends to be overacting, ridiculous and even annoys the team with his reckless and carefree attitude but he also can be good leader in Takeru absence. And he is the most Drama King of the team which makes people think he is quite hyperactive and indeed actually he is.
• Rick from The Young Ones, though being a Jerkass and lacking some more positive traits like anticipating the needs of others, embodies the more neutral or negative traits found in this type. While he lacks the willpower or genuine compassion for his causes and ideals, he is still admittedly passionate about them in theory (and when they benefit him). He is incredibly attention seeking, enthusiastic, fiercely independent and individualistic, and searches for deeper meanings in things that usually aren't there.

Video Games

• Junko Enoshima and Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa. Junko with the eternal boredom causing her to seek out despair (Ne-Fi). Makoto with his everlasting belief in hope, even when all the others had given up.
• Hu Tao from Genshin Impact. Hu Tao is a very obvious ENFP, she gets bored extremely easily and has very, VERY strong ideals and her own concept of morality, which all points to Ne-Fi. Her enthusiasm and energy is regarded as annoying by many characters, since she's mostly expected to be serious due to her position as a mortician.
• Sora from Kingdom Hearts almost literally runs on The Power of Friendship. He makes friends incredibly easily even as a newborn, as Birth By Sleep shows, and is perpetually optimistic no matter what ordeals he has to endure. He also doesn't do a lot of planning, preferring to wander the worlds and beat up bad guys whenever he finds them, hoping that he'll find a thread to follow up on as he goes.
• Sonic the Hedgehog: Amy Rose, Sonic's eternal fangirl, is a perfect demonstration of the cheerful, bubbly, Cloudcuckoolander ENFP. "I'm cute and full of energy!" is an actual, direct, verbatim quote from her, and could not be more true. Amy is always hopeful and cheers on for the good side of things, never seeming to find anything hopeless.

Luckily for Charlie, her dad is the King of Hell itself, even if he's a tad on the goofy side.
• Bumi II from The Legend of Korra has an enthusiastic but off-the-wall ideas typical of extroverted intuition dominants, and a tendency to think out loud. He can be stubborn, sensitive, and emotional due to auxiliary introverted feeling. Because he is older, he occasionally displays bursts of inferior introverted sensing by drawing on his past (if heavily embellished) success. Bumi often improvises successful plans on the fly, such as his one-man rescue mission in Book 2.
• Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as a Cloudcuckoolander, tends to flip-flop between intuitive and sensing, but at her core is intuitive to an insane degree. She is an enthusiastic free-spirit with tons of imagination, ideas, and a keen need to help and make others happy.
• Jet Propulsion from Ready Jet Go! is effectively the Big Good of the show's universe. His Cloudcuckoolander, All-Loving Hero nature is a Positive Friend Influence on everyone he meets.
• Steven Universe from Steven Universe is always ready for adventure and having fun from with others, whether it be Connie, his Dad, the Crystal Gems or any one in Beach City.

INFJ Counselors have a strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others. Counselors are gratified by helping others to develop and reach their potential. Counselors often communicate in a personalized manner. They tend to be positive and kind when dealing with others.

This ability to take in the emotional experiences of others, however, can lead Counselors to be hurt easily.

Examples

Anime & Manga

Deep down, she adores cute things but often struggles to express this without freaking out her friends.

  • Yui Ikari, owing to her desire to create a better world.

• Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia is one, as he has shown many times that he is attuned with the feelings of other people, in addition to being incredibly analytical (if his hero notebooks are anything to go by), and displaying the type of nervousness and overthinking that INFJ types are susceptible to.
• Naruto:
  • Itachi Uchiha is an incredibly complex example. Despite mimicking the traits of an INTJ it is truth that he does care deeply for those close to him (not saying that INTJ can't). Itachi suffered a lifetime of lying and hiding the truth from Sasuke, just to keep him safe from corruption. Unfortunately Sasuke being who he was still chose to hunt his big brother down. Itachi was enlightened in both knowledge and skill, becoming one of the best male INFJ in Anime around.
  • Hagaromo Otsutsuki The Sage of Six Paths is a brilliant example as well. Unlike his tyrannical mother, The Sage sought to bring balance through mutual understanding.

Film

• Bruce Banner is the legendary Hulk in The Avengers movies and a true INFJ. Bruce tends to be moody, self-involved, and very hard on himself.

But ultimately her want for the greater good was stronger than her bitterness over the death of her parents.
• Melanie Hamilton of Gone with the Wind is perhaps the quintessential INFJ. Melanie has a strict moral code and is a loving, doting mother not only to her own son, but also to Scarlett's poor, neglected children. Throughout the book she supports Scarlett and Rhett, even as the rest of polite society rejects them and is aware of the love between Rhett and Scarlett for years before Scarlett herself realizes it (at Melanie's behest). Post-war Melanie also leads several women's community service initiatives, including the Association for the Beautification of the Graves of Our Glorious Dead.
• Star Wars introduces us to Obi-Wan Kenobi, a quiet yet tireless man who takes his steadfast belief in The Force and the greater Rebel cause, and turns it into actual, measurable actions.

• Emilia from Re:Zero is a nice INFJ example. She's goal-oriented and good planner with a keen intuition (Ni), and while she's on the reserved side - also being naive and a bit awkward and impractical (Se inf) - it's clear she's extremely kind, selfless and gentle, and loves to support others with positive feelings (Fe).

Live-Action TV

• President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica (2003) tends to rely on gut feelings and is constantly focused on humanity's future (dominant Ni); she knows how to appeal to people's emotions, and knows what to do to achieve desirable results in various social situations (auxiliary Fe), and can back up her conclusions with logical analysis (tertiary Ti); she finds it difficult to live in the moment (inferior Se).
• Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is energized by spending time alone and depthing her interests. Tara is highly intuitive, being able to pick up on things without direct evidence, and can easily draw connections between different information. She is a kind and compassionate person, and is able to put the interests of others above her own.

Tara has a strong and defined set of moral principles which she strives to live by, and wants others to do the same.

Video Games

• Komaeda Nagito from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He is an extreme idealist and attempts to force his ideal of Hope on the rest of the students. Though technically a "Mastermind" like an INTJ, Komaeda lacks the cold objectivity that usually accompanies a Thinking type, but his attempts to sacrifice others and martyr himself in the name of his ideal are classically unhealthy INFJ. He is particularly drawn to Hinata and makes repeated attempts to get under his skin. This seems malicious and is hard to discern underneath his overbearing and rude behavior, but is really likely just Komaeda's attempt to make friends and be close to Hinata as he is a lonesome and damaged individual.
• Ulysses from Fallout: New Vegas always very precise and eloquent with his word in expressing his state of mind or displeasure against the players decisions. He holds the Courier to blame 100% for the destruction of a nation even though it was an accident. He quickly comes to understand were you loyalties lay and admonitions you accordingly.

• Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4. She initially comes off as an ISFJ due to her polite and seemingly-conformist attitude, Yukiko lacks the present nature of an ISFJ as she's revealed to have very out-there perceptions on the world and a vivid and detailed imagination, with Yukiko even admitting she often has a vivid and often unique view on the world rather than wanting to be focused on the grounded - this comes to a head with her Shadow that she suppresses out of shame, who loudly claims she wants somebody to help rescue her from her cage - a fact that, if repressed, disqualifies her as an INFP for her desire to still be a part of a community. This combined with her strong empathy for others, her consistent (if oft-scattered) planning and generally-introverted attitude, Yukiko by the end of her Social Link is an excellent example of a "Counselor" hidden underneath the guise of a more observant attitude.
• While Blaze the Cat, of Sonic Rush, seems unattached, this is a result of her rather aloof demeanor and preference for One-Woman Army operation. Beneath this, she has an extremely, if mostly unchecked, emotional core and a genuine desire to help others.
• Krystal from Star Fox started out as an interstellar drifter who prioritizes answering distress calls with her psychic powers over her search for answers over her destroyed home world. After a twist of fate she joins Fox's team for saving her life and sharing her good intentions. She is a kind and brave young woman who looks after the rest of the mercenary team, particularly with her crush Fox. However, her stubbornness and tendency to bear grudges can land her in hot water.

Her dominant introverted intuition also influences her inventions, helping her create spirit-inspired machines and plan innovative solutions to rebuild Republic City's transit system.

• Princess Celestia of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a warm and compassionate ruler who frequently serves as a Team Mom towards her entire kingdom and in addition has been shown to have an impressive talent for predicting the overall outcome for a situation as well displaying beliefs that are diplomatic in nature such as the importance of friendship and equality. She is nonetheless very private about her personal life towards her citizens and even the audience of the series, and shares the common characteristic of receiving unwanted popularity like many real-life INFJs and would instead prefer to be seen as a normal pony.
• Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether from Zootopia. Though you would be forgiven for mistaking her as an ISFJ until she reveals herself as the mastermind behind the missing and savage mammal case.

Like most of them however, Kaworu is also selfless to a fault, which results in him dying in almost every continuity.
