Perhaps we should just give this topic its own thread  I would like to start with several couples I think might exemplify ENFP/INTJ pairings.  (Some of these are quite the leap, but...)

Penny/Dr. Horrible

Robinhood/Maid Marion

Beatrice/Benedict (Much Ado About Nothing)

Maria/Captain Von Trapp

 

I don't know.  What do you think?

 

I'd be interested in reading all of the Characters of " Big bang theory ".....anyone have any guesses. This show rocks btw

Penny/Dr. Horrible

That's really funny!

Hmm... possibly stretches but I'm rolling with them (maybe they'll spark debate):

Blossom/ Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls
Daria/ Jane Lane from Daria
Hermoine Granger/Ronald Weasley from Harry Potter (but maybe Ron is too awkward. He is definitely an "F" type in my opinion though)

I'm going to have to think about this some more!

Lizbeth Salander / Mikael Blomkvist??

I love "Big Bang Theory"!

Penny - ESFP
Sheldon - INTJ

I don't know about the rest. I'll think about it.

The Big Bang Theory is to awkward to watch...

Ron/Hermione is ESFP/ISTJ in my opinion. Hermione is obsessed about "the rules" (Esp. in the beginning) and has an incredible "knowledge base" (Often Si). Also she doesn't like the concept of a childs' tale having a deeper meaning (Pretty SJ i think). She wants to do good in all classes - this seems to me like "be good for being goods' sake", AND her parents are dentists and maybe there is some background there that they want her to be a good student. Studious SJs are about knowledge that you can learn from books. NTs are about insight that you can't learn from a book. Like scientists finding new laws of the cosmos. Hermione has practically all her knowledge from books. If she was an NT, she would be likely to experiment to gain new knowledge or would think of new ways to xyz... or theorizing about zxy... instead of constantly trying to learn new stuff from books which others have found out before her.

Luna is an NT (I write "an" because NT is spoken "aNTe"). A very crazy one - she is definitely no SJ (that would be hilarious), she is not an SP, and NF doesn't seem to fit - she is not overly interested in people. Snape is an INTJ - it is obvious. Dumbledore is an NT (ok that can be argued. He either is an NT or an NF, but i guess in the last book it becomes clear he was an NT in his youth, craving for power and knowledge, the friendship with Grindelwald is because both of them are brilliant guys (does this ring a bell to you NTs?) and see an equal in each other as opposed to them sharing values (which NFs would be interested in), also, he found out some uses for dragon blood (experimental approach, gaining new knowledge instead of preserving the old). As he gets older, he learns some lessons about life and becomes wiser)

...And Ron is just a "living in the moment" type of guy.

Ahh, love that show as well. Yep, i reckon you're spot on with those typings. 

Now to our INTJ's friends - don't worry - the sitcoms have made goose bags out of us ENFP's as well. There was this 90's sitcom 'Family Matters' with a character called 'Steve Urkel'. Urr... *shudder!*.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Urkel. [www.mypersonality.com is the reference for this typing]

Yeah, I'm not that sure about the others either. 

Great idea for a thread by the way.

The creator of this show is brilliant. . I watched the Christmas show last week where Sheldon gave Penny a hug....it was off the wall funny. He was terrified to even touch her...hahahah..i was in a fit of laughter...he had no clue what to do with his hands, arms..just thinking about the whole show still makes me giggle..i totally forgot about Steve Urkel...not something i really care to remember....hahaha...although you have
to give it to him, he was nothing less then super super funny

Rogarn, why is it awkward to watch? Is it just Big Bang Theory or is it sitcoms in general. My INTJ friend mentioned once that he didn't like The Office or many sitcoms because they depicted so many awkward, uncomfortable situations....and life is awkward enough on its own. I responded that watching others' awkward situations in a humorous light made me feel better about my own awkwardness....that it can be merely laughed at and doesn't have to be a big deal.

Perhaps he sees things in some of these Characters he also sees in himself. Just a guess.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, we really don't experience the level of laughter we should. I laugh at myself
constantly.

I dislike awkwardness. I hate being forced to "live" a situation in which depicts events that I would have handled completely differently. This is why I also dislike most scary movies.

I love scary movies for that purpose. It it is like prep. How would I survive and what mistakes would I NOT make? Besides, how boring would a horror movie be with an INTJ in it? He'd just go find some way to lock himself into a protective room so that no one would get to him. He'd get some food and hide out with some books and/or a computer for awhile while plotting how to get the evil antithesis to go away . Oh wait...that was Panic Room. Somehow, I don't think that story can be revamped into another horror movie.... just sayin'.

I disagree with Hermione being an S type. True, she spends a lot of time acquiring knowlege, but so have I. She loves learning and being competent. But she is constantly making connections between things, people, events. This plays out constantly in the series. Hermione makes a connection > Ron and Harry look at her like WTF > she roles her eyes and impatiently explains > they make some comment about how crazy she is, but she is pretty much always dead on. Classic S / N interaction. I really don't think Ron is ENFP. He doesn't ever seem to give serious thought to anything and has no intuitive abilities.

Aang from The Last Airbender is definately ENFP.

I actually agree with Caprice. Sure, in her first year, Hermione can KIND OF come across very rule-sy but she really isn't. Why would she agree to go hunt after the Sorcerer's Stone and why would she petrify Neville Longbottom and agree to take the blame for being in the bathroom when the troll was released? These are not things that one does if they have to constantly abide by rules. Then, later on in book five when Dolores Umbridge wants to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts using only books it is Hermione's idea to start a club to practice because she cannot understand the logic behind only using books.

I kind of figured that Ron was more of an ESFP, but I wanted to bring up the discussion.

Oh and an ISTJ having/using a timeturner to travel back in time to go to classes/save lives? That just doesn't logically seem right to me. Just sayin'.

Hm... "Likes being competent" sounds NT i agree.

Both of you brought up good points.

IxTJ was kind of obvious... i wasn't sure about the N/S. With Ron, i was very sure.
It kind of makes sense that Ron and Hermione are always arguing, if she is an INTJ and he is an ESFP - they are polar opposites.

Aang from The Last Airbender is definately ENFP.

Yes, lol

It kind of makes sense that Ron and Hermione are always arguing, if she is an INTJ and he is an ESFP - they are polar opposites.

It might also help explain why Snape seems to despise Hermoine for a long time. She is very much like him, but a much more popular, well-liked version.

Back to Big Bang Theory -

Howard - ESTJ?
Leanard - INTP/INTJ?
Koothrappali - I...?

I haven't really watched too many episodes of The Big Bang Theory or else I would share more. Can we get two sets going on here? I remember a discussion once that Ariel from The Little Mermaid is an ENFP. Then Beauty and the Beast was on tv, so I was wondering. Any theories on fictional Disney characters? Here are just some I've thought up.

Ariel - ENFP
Belle (from Beauty & the Beast) - INFJ
Gaston - ESTJ
Beast - IxTJ? Not sure
Aladdin - ESFP
Jasmin - ISFP
Jaffar - ENTJ
Iago - INTJ
Genie - ENTP
