Since my Pooh thread died, how about I extend it to suggesting and discussing the MBTI for any Disney character from any Disney media. This can be any character who is animated or live action or anyone well known who has worked for Disney.

It would be fun to see what you all come up with for each of the 7 Dwarfs. :proud:

I think Belle's an INFP because Gaston is an ESTJ and they're complete opposites. I also think Cogsworth is an ISTJ as well, he doesn't seem to put himself out there as much as Lumiere (but it's been a while so I could be completely wrong).

My most recent Disney excursion was Pooh so I'll go to the one I've watched a bunch of times in the last few years, The Rescuers:

Penny: INFP (I say this because she acts exactly like I did when I was that little)
Bianca: ENFJ
Bernard: ISFP
Madame Medusa: ESTJ
Mr. Snoops: ISFJ
Orville: ISTJ

The other characters aren't shown quite enough to come up with a decent analysis.

Belle is INFP because to reach peace one ought to use peace to get there, and that is the style she uses. Pocahontas seems INFJ and Mulan could possibly be INFJ or ISFP. I think Jasmine from Aladdin is also an INFJ. INFJs are definitely the "charter-the-course" type of people (I really like them!)

I'll give Lion King characters a crack...

Scar- ENTJ or INTJ
Mufasa- INFJ
Nala is extroverted and judging for sure, I'm not sure which.
Simba is an xxFP
Timone- ESTP
Pumba- ESFP
Zazu- ESTJ

PS. I'll try typing the seven dwarfs when I watch them again! xD But I know Snow White is an ISFJ. The queen is likely an ENTJ.

Giselle from Enchanted is probably an INFP. So is Morgan.

Since Disney bought the rights to the Muppets, I'll try to type them:

Kermit: INTJ
Miss Piggy: ENFP
Fozzie: ESFP
Gonzo: ISFP
Animal: EXFP
Rizzo: ESTJ
Walter: ENFJ
Scooter: ISTJ

And a lot of the Muppets can't be typed. They're just so weird and random. But those are my guesses from the popular ones right now.

Oh and the big Disney characters, okay here are my guesses:

Mickey Mouse: ESTP
Minnie Mouse: ENFP
Donald Duck: ESFJ
Goofy: ESFP
Pluto: EXFX

Hmmm, Alice has never hit me as an extrovert...
 
#32 ·
Woody: ISTJ
Buzz: ENTJ
Rex: ISFJ
Bo Peep: ISFJ
Slinky: ISFP
Mr. Potato Head: ESTJ
Sid: INTP
Andy: ENFP
Woody is probably F, not sure about Rex and Buzz, and Sid seems more ISTP to me, but otherwise seems right.

Lilo: ENFP
Nani: ENFJ
Stitch: ESFP
Jumbaa: ISTP
Pleakley: ESFJ
That random galactic space leader they keep talking to: INTJ
Yep Lilo is probably ENFP, I really don't know about Nani and Stitch (they would be interesting to figure out though), and Jumbaa really seemed more xNTP to me.

Phineas: ENTP
Finally an ENTP Disney protagonist...... but wait just a second, do we really see his aux. function that clearly yet? He is only 9 after all.... he might just be a pure ENP at this point.

Ferb: INTJ
Not sold on him being NJ, definitely I and T though. Maybe IxTP.

Perry: ESTP
I thought ISTx but this could work too.

Candace: ENFJ
ESFJ, and obsessively and hopelessly opposed to Phineas's Ne Reality-Cheating ways...

Dr. Doofensmirtz: INFP
Hmmm, maybe, actually. Perceiving at the least ;)

The Princess and the Frog:
Tiana: ESTJ (painstaking Si user, haha)
Naveen: ESTP
I saw Tiana as ESTJ too (delightfully crashing the pattern of the Disney ENFP protagonist and princess with her more grounded nature).... but I've also seen all sorts of typings assigned to her. So waiting for this one to be challenged...

I don't see this. All of the songs she sings are like the ultimate reflection of her Ne dom nature (she wants something grand and novel, but doesn't know what - it's interesting really...even her approach to falling in love with the Beast is exactly this). There is a very good discussion thread about this on the ENFP forum where some people pointed this out. As an Ni dom, I don't get Ni from her at all. Both her and her father have the flighty nature associated with dominant Ne, which makes them look like they're "insane" to the villagers. I never see the deep-thinking, perspective shifting occurring with her that's often a major characteristic of Ni doms - she seems to need to actually experience change for herself rather than alter any aspect of her perspectives.
So I'm not crazy in seeing that whole opening sequence, and perhaps even the whole movie, as pure Ne-dominance on her part? Good to know ;)

The general consensus on Pooh was:

Winnie the Pooh: INFP or ISFP, sort of along those lines
Christopher Robin: INFP
Piglet: ISFJ
Tigger: ESFP
Rabbit: ISTJ (this was debated but I'll stand by this because it's just perfect for him)
Kanga: I think she's an INFJ but most people said ISFJ
Roo: ESFP
Owl: INTP
Gopher: ISTP

Don't even THINK about asking about Darcy or Lumpy. THEY AREN'T CANON!! Though Kessie the Bluebird is because of her impact on Rabbit and because she's far more interesting. Anyone who gets that reference is made of awesomeness.

I just saw Aladdin, actually, so I'll try those:

Aladdin: ESFP
Jasmine: INFJ
Sultan: ESFJ
Jafar: ISTJ
Genie: ESFP

Sultan: ESFJ
Jafar: ISTJ
Genie: ESFP
Actually, I would say that the Sultan is also an ESFP and that Jafar is an INTJ. And I would probably guess Aladdin as an ISFP.
 
#18 ·
My guesses for Lilo and Stitch (based entirely on Lilo and Stitch 2, not the original because that's the one I watched recently):

Lilo: ENFP
Nani: ENFJ
Stitch: ESFP
Jumbaa: ISTP
Pleakley: ESFJ
That random galactic space leader they keep talking to: INTJ

And those are the only ones that focused on enough to actually be able to get a good feel for them.
 
#19 ·
I agree for the most part, but I personally see Jumbaa as more of an N, maybe INTP. It takes a lot of focus on brainstorming, imagination, and creativity to create over 600 experiments designed to wreak havoc on the universe. :D

I'll add my other guesses for Disney characters in a bit.

The P/J factor in MBTI is about open-ended vs close-ended. it not only is a personality-style trait, it's an organizational style trait. Look at Belle; there is nothing "unfinished" about her. Her N is internal -- it deals with her dreams, and it's a vision, not a process -- and meanwhile her external expression of self (if you examine her interaction with other characters) is entirely Fe.
I don't see this. All of the songs she sings are like the ultimate reflection of her Ne dom nature (she wants something grand and novel, but doesn't know what - it's interesting really...even her approach to falling in love with the Beast is exactly this). There is a very good discussion thread about this on the ENFP forum where some people pointed this out. As an Ni dom, I don't get Ni from her at all. Both her and her father have the flighty nature associated with dominant Ne, which makes them look like they're "insane" to the villagers. I never see the deep-thinking, perspective shifting occurring with her that's often a major characteristic of Ni doms - she seems to need to actually experience change for herself rather than alter any aspect of her perspectives.

In any case, she operates under very explicit, definable rules of "how people should behave if they are decent people.
This could be Fi also. Fi users also have issues with decent behavior - in fact, they're probably stricter about it than Fe users, who tend to tolerate others until others negatively impact others in any way. Fi users are the more rigid moralists overall though, while Fe users are more situational in their use of the function (they adapt it to external variables more - they don't have a rigid internal moral compass that they dictate so much upon individuals). After all, she was rather sheltered from much experience with diverse people where she grew up, so perhaps she thought this approach made the most sense to her (individualistic Fi reasoning). Unlike Fe users, she barely seems concerned about offending the mores of her village - never did I see that thought once occur to her in the movie.

Oohh! Me and my sister would have fun with this!:proud:
But first,

Flick: Why INFP? He seems much more extroverted, and a need to tinker with things; but ENTP sounds WAY too wrong. ENFP? Sure, there's my guess.

Atta: I'm going more with ISTJ. Very driven by an unhealthy inferior extroverted intuition and not so comfortable controlling large groups of people, again attributed to a lack of extroverted intuition for scope.

The queen: INTJ. Much more confident looking at and controlling the big picture and groups of people.

Dot: I'm thinking ISFP. She's kinda the picked on one and is driven by a greater concept of what's right and acting on them rather than looking at all the possibilities and how she feels about each one. Plus, she reminds me of my sister.

New ones!
Hopper: ESTJ? Definitely EXTJ of some sort. He doesn't seem completely intuitive and inventive in his control though. Let's say ESTJ.

Molt (Hopper's brother): Tricky... very tricky... ISFJ? Let me think, he doesn't seem driven for control (negative Te), more concerned with others approval (positive Fe) operates in the system and worries about stepping out of it (dominant Si), yep! ISFJ is the fit. I'm an ISFJ, I should know.
Now let's get to those circus characters!:proud:

Slim: ISTJ. Very annoyed when others step out of line (Si) and seeks to correct those closes to him while staying within the heirarchy (Te.)

Heimlich: Hhmm... ESFJ? ENFJ? Let's see; temperament seems that of an NF, driven by a desire to be accepted, let's say ENFJ.

Francis: ESTP? Very picky about being a lady bug, but still manly (insult threatens his logical understanding) mostly impulsive and reactive and outspoken as well.

Manny (Pray-mantis): Temperament seems that of an NT. I'm going to go with INTP. Views his work as an art, but driven by concepts. Much like my INTP sister who is a lighting designer.

Gypsy Moth: Temperament (or aura, vibe, whatever) matches that of an NF, also views work as an art, but more idealistic and driven by how something feels. Let's say INFP, but there room for compromise.

Rosie: ESFJ? Very maternal of Dim (the beatle), and very routine. ESFJ seems to match.

Tuck and Roll::laughing: Fun characters, tricky to type. Which one's which? I'm drawing a blank. I may come back to them at some point.

P.T. Flea: Extroverted thinking dominant, aided by a standard way of doing something, doesn't organize things effeciently, lets say ESTJ like Hopper, almost.

Dim: Not much character there, but lets see what we can get; simple and feeling, obviously, let's say ISFJ. Seems loyal and caring for his friends.

So yeah, Tuck and Roll are the only one's that I can't get a grip on. So let's pull one out of the hat and say there both ESFPs, in a very simplified manner, much in the same way that Dim is.
Flick is still a tricky one too. I'm still not convinced that he is any of the one's I said.

Belle is a construct of "dreamer child idealistic thing", so she randomly portrays "infp" and randomly portrays "infj".
Of course you're going to see Fe when she interacts, that function is very stereotypical associated with women.
Of course you're going to see Ne, that's the most common iNtuitive function in general (ie it's what SJs have... plus I believe Disney himself was an Ne dom, so it kinda bled over into the ideals of the company)
If I actually had to type her, I'd go with INFP, since her internal dream world seems more rationalized as apposed to perceived (ie I see an Fi dominant).
The beast, judging from the very opening of the movie, I would guess is a Te dominant, and later as the beast you see a lot of his Fi coming out (ergo he starts acting like an ISFP or something). He is very, very FORCEFUL, which would suggest Te somewhere higher than fourth place.
My .02

Oh and looking at some old ones:
Cinderella: ISFJ and INFJ (she's depicted as both at the same time as far as I can tell)
Aurora: Some combination of F and N, like belle she floats around being "dreamy"
Snow white: ESFJ.

Part of the fun in analyzing some of these characters is seeing both how culture changes them, and what happens when a group of people make the character... and it comes out confused :kitteh:

Well the thing about Disney movies is characters always show two distinct personas, it is often the case with all movies, but particularly these coming-of-age stories that Disney often does. They always seem much more 'dreamy' and childlike at the beggining and often are more bound to rules or to one thing (whatever that may be) but whatever it is that defines them in the beginning always changes them and allows them to adapt to the new environment.

I think in Belle's case she seems INFP,talking so much time to show others she loves books and to dream etc. But can be really forceful and stand up for herself when need be. Seeming more INFJ. In a way Disney characters aren't allowed moments of weakness where they could potentially do something un-princess/prince like, they have to be on best behaviour at all times and adapt to whatever is happening. They need to be heroic, they are heroic, there is rarely moments of hesitation, they need to be warm, they are warm, no questioning or defiance, they need to be tough, they will do it, they never question themselves.

I suppose it helps the narrative move along if the protaganist kind of adapts to whatever is happening but I always like the kind of stories where people have a large range of emotions at different times in the story. At least the Beast gets quite an arc in terms of his character. I would say a very angry INTJ at the start, but every little moment/ thing surprises him and we see how and it softens him slightly. He becomes more INFJ because of Belle, he re-connects with his staff and becomes friendlier again. Then when he becomes a prince he is suddenly very outgoing and energetic, coming across as ENFJ.

Alot of thetime I think it is actually the love interests who have bigger arcs/growth in the stories than the heroes/heroines. I mean look at Hercules, his story was a fairly basic zero to hero story, demi-God becomes real God story. It is a classic but Meg's story was actually about accepting the idea of having someone in her life again and realising she has the strength to fall in love with someone again, despite the fact she is fearful of being hurt again because of how deeply she feels for Hercules.

To me I think that Hercules was just as much a hero as soon as he went to Thebes as he was at theend, albeit he wasn't in love at the start. Similarly I think Belle already knew before she got to the castle that love is found on th einside, not by appearances. She didn't need a Beast to tell her that.What I am getting at is while the heroes have pretty clear personalties at the start, they can kind of adapt to any situation like superheores (which is why I guess they are the protagonists to some extent) while the love interests have to struggle a bit to become accustomed to having this new person in their life. Having a more life-like growth.

I do not think this is true of Tarzan and Rapunzel however. Their journeys were much more interesting than their love interests.

This thread was just brought up so I thought I'd include Finding Nemo, a movie I watched 2 days ago.

Marlin: ISFJ
Dory: ENFP (tricky to tell with the whole memory loss thing but Ellen DeGeneres is an ENFP so that's my best guess)
Nemo: ESFP
The fish with the scar (sorry, I'm terrible with names): INTJ

Really hard to type the other characters but if you all want to take a stab at it, that would be cool too. I also thought I'd add The Incredibles:

Bob: ENFP
Helen: ENTJ
Violet: INFP
Dash: ESTP
Syndrome: INTJ
Edna: ENTP
Lucious: ESTP

And right now, that's the best I can do. The next Disney movie on my list to watch (again) is Tangled but I do know that Rapunzel is very much an ENFP and Flynn/Eugene is an ENTP who seems to enjoy acting like an ESTP.

Bob: ISFP, while I agree he has Fi I don't see him as a lead Pe user, in particular not Ne.
Helen: ESFJ, I see it more though than ENTJ if I'm honest
Violet: INFP
Dash: ENTP (Controversial maybe, but when you hear him speak he seems to be using a lot of Ne rather than Se)
Syndrome: INFJ, he seems to use Ti more than Te or Fi if I'm honest.
Edna: ENTP
Lucius: INTJ (FP/TJ relationship seems possible with Bob), although friendly he doesn't seem overly gregarious. Plus Samuel L Jackson seems to be playing a G rated version of himself who I think is this type.

I just realized everyone in the Lion King is African and most likely anthropomorphically black :blushed: Its one of my favourite films independent of this fact because the story is not racially dependent.

Mufasa: ENFJ
Zazu: ISTJ
Rafiki: INFJ
Simbaa: ESFP
Timon: ENTP
Pumbaa: ISFP
Scar: INTP (For all the evil overlord ideas that seem to be thrown around he doesn't really seem to have a distinctive plan. He seem kinda comfortable just playing with the idea of people)
Nala: ESFJ?
Sarabi (Simba's Mother): ESFJ? No idea, but I still think she needs typing. Only thing I'm reasonably certain of is FJ. I can't see her as INFJ though

As for the sequel; The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
Kiara: ENFP?
Kovu: ENTJ, slightly more confident in that

Belle - INFJ. Looking for adventure doesn't always imply P. Her dominant Ni is shown in her love of losing herself in the worlds inside her books, and the way she's constantly asking questions. Her Fe is obvious with her father, the beast, and the way she becomes very forceful when she has to.

Beast - INTJ? Not so sure, but I'm pretty sure he's a T. And you can't disregard the part at the beginning. You can't base a type off of only the part where he self-actualizes and expect it to be accurate.

Gaston - ESTP. Confident, aggressive, image-focused, competitive.

Maurice - XNTP?

Mrs. Potts - ESFJ

Also, just curious - can anyone explain how Jasmine is an INFJ? I haven't seen the whole movie in years, but I saw the first few scenes a couple weeks ago and she doesn't seem INFJ to me. I'm willing to be convinced though. :)

Why isn't this dominant Ne though? Keep in mind the time period and the town she was in....... books were probably the only external intuitive catalysts she could get ahold of.

Her Fe is obvious with her father, the beast, and the way she becomes very forceful when she has to.
She was rather feely-feely, but Fe? Not so sure.
