I've looked all over the internet but I've had no luck finding any threads regarding MBTI typing characters in the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus Series.
So I tried to do so myself. Feel free to share your ideas-I'd LOVE to hear them- I'm finding this particularly challenging for some reason. I'm very aware that most of my guesses are probably wrong.

Annabeth-INTJ
Grover-ENFP or ENFJ
Nico-ISTP
Thalia-INFJ?
Piper-INFJ
Leo-ENTP
Reyna-ENTJ

Feel free to retype any of these, but please tell me why you think I'm wrong.

Characters I'm super CLUELESS about-HELP ME:
1.As lame as it sounds-Percy Jackson
2.Luke
3. Jason
4. Hazel- she's kind of new to me
5. Frank-also new to me
6. Bianca
Please type these! And any character I forgot!

I agree with most of your guesses however Thalia is most definitely an ENTP. Definitely. No one in that book loves arguing more than her. Id also place Annabeth as an ENTP or INTP. Mostly because I dont think an INTJ has the creativity or craving for knowledge as she does; especially since she wishes to be an architect so I'd place her as more of a spatial think than an INTJ would be capable of. And she does enjoying winning arguements, debating, being right, etc. I'd probably also place her as an E because of outgoing she is. She's also more feeling oriented than most of the thinking types so I'd definitely rule INTJ out.

Percy... hmm. I'd possibly place him as an I because he doesn't have a large circle of friends. But there's also the likelihood of him as an E because he's a natural leader. Definitely an S because he's more impulsive, in the moment, nonstrategic, etc. He's always more focused on the current standing as opposed to how his decisions could affect the future. Definitely an F. No doubt about it. Perhaps he's a very logical F, but still. His fatal flaw is that he would sacrifice the world for the life of a loved one. how more more can one's emotions influence them than that? And a P because he hates obligations. Overall I'd say an ISFP would be the best fit.

I really have to disagree with your reasoning behind that typing of Annabeth. The idea that INTJs are not capable of spatial reasoning is a stereotype. I also don't know how you got it in your head that INTJs aren't creative and don't crave knowledge, but please stop. I can't personally speak for spatial reasoning, but as far as I'm aware, spatial reasoning has never been correlated with any of the Jungian functions in the literature. I think you're thinking of ISTJs when you talk about a lack of creativity, and even then that's a stereotype. Bad on you.

It's been awhile since I read a book with Annabeth as a main character, but if she's not an INTJ I'd guess she might have an S or a P in there somewhere. Maybe. I wouldn't say E, though. I don't think she fits the profile for an ENTP.

I do agree with your assessments of Thalia and Percy though.

Super late reply, but...

I think Hazel is INFJ. Of course, I do say that because I relate to her, but... It really does make sense. She's empathetic and has strings thoughts underneath her quiet exterior.

Nico seems rather ENFP to me... He was very extroverted (I think) as a kid, and now it still seems that he's a strong presence in the company of others, even if he would prefer not to be. He's always spoken his thoughts aloud, along with his peculiar observations.

However, Piper... as INFJ... I don't think so. I don't relate to her much at all (she's quite a Sue...), and she seems more of a tomboyish/girly/whatever Senser... Maybe. (I could really be wrong; I haven't read the first book in a while, and I really didn't enjoy it when I did.)

Ack... I need to read the third book still. Then perhaps I'll have more accurate types.

Completely agree!^

Percy - ESFP 9w8
If you think about it, it makes way more sense for his inferior function to be Ni than Te. People probably type him as an introvert because he's kind of a loner in the mortal world but I think he's just used to having bad experiences with others.

Annabeth - INTJ 5

Grover - INFP

Jason - ISTJ 1w9

Piper - INFJ 4w5

Leo - ESTP

Frank - ISFJ

Hazel - ISTP

Reyna - INTJ

Thalia - ENTJ

Nico - ISTP

Bianca - ....She wasn't around very long, but I'm gonna say ISFP

Hope you don't mind, I added some Enneagrams :p

Other types misunderstand us quite frequently, I think due to the fact that we are rare and don't like to talk about what goes on inside our heads. I don't think that we mistype a lot of characters as INTJ; rather, when we type them INTJ, the other types don't always understand why because they have to rely more on outward appearances and stereotypes to spot us. (IDK if that makes sense).
Anyway, Annabeth is DEFINITELY INTJ, therefore leading us to believe that Reyna is as well (in the book they are portrayed as being extremely similar). Dunno about Percy, probably an SF.

Haven't read Heroes of Olympus yet, but here's what I'm thinking for Percy Jackson:

Percy: INFP, possibly an S because for most INFP characters, they scream INFP at me, and Percy doesn't do that as much

Annabeth: definitely an INTJ. I have no doubts.

Grover: probably an ESFP or ESFJ. He's hard to type.

Bianca: ISFJ-ISFJs strike me as a calm, motherly type and that's what she seems to be

Nico: He's one of those characters that screams INFP

Thalia: I have trouble typing her. Probably an NT, maybe INTP or ENTP?

Luke: he seems like an ISTP, but I'm not sure

*If you want me to explain my reasoning for any, I'll be perfectly willing
 
#11 ·
Percy Jackson - ESFP, though ISFP is also possible.
Annabeth Chase - INTx.
Grover Underwood - ISFP, possibly?
Bianca di Angelo - ISFJ?
Nico di Angelo - INFP.
Thalia Grace - ENTP.
Jason Grace - ENTJ, maybe?
Piper McLean - ENFP, I'm fairly sure.
Leo Valdez - ESTP.
Hazel Levesque - INFJ.
Frank Zhang - INFP?

I've read different theories on Hazel, and the general consensus is that she's at least an Introvert and a Feeler. One of my friends typed her as an INFJ and I thought that it fit, so I put her down as one. I haven't read the books in a while, so I'm sorry if my typings seemed off.

Though, when I think back on it, ISFJ does seem more likely to me; she relies heavily on her own experiences (Si) to make decisions about the world.

I would agree with you. I think she's far more likely to be an ISFJ than an INFJ. Again, I don't think I've seen an INFJ in any of Rick Riordan's work.

Yeah, you're definitely right about that. The only possible one I can think of is Hestia, but even then, she didn't get much time in the spotlight and could easily be almost any other type.

Idk I always thought Percy was at least an NF, if you remember his first monologue in the first book ever he talks about how this isn't how he imagined his childhood, and how he did not get to have one. He talks often about how he felt he is missing traditional childhood things and how disillusioned he is about the Gods, and about the world in general. Now, I'd say INFP but I'm obviously biased, although I don't feel a J for him, or an E at all. Also being Introverted Feeling dominant would make a lot of sense for his actions.
 
#18 ·
Leo screams ISTP to me. He seems introverted despite the way he acts when he's around other people. Plus, I feel like he's perfectly capable of locking himself away for hours working on projects without needing to be around other people at all. Idk, maybe I'm the only one who sees it.

Also I like the idea of ENFP for Nico. Makes sense. I like the theory that he might be so isolated because he's shoving himself away from others as a defensive tactic rather than as his ideal choice. Also makes sense as to why he's so absolutely miserable about it. But it's hard to type him since he gets so unhealthy as he gets older.

Piper is INFP/ISFP for me? But I can see the arguments for ENFP and possibly INFJ.

Annabeth... INTJ?

Jason.... ESTJ/ESFJ?

I'd have to think about the others more to try to type them.
 
#19 ·
Annabeth wouldn't strike me as INTJ at first, but after thinking about it, I can see her stronger functions are Ni and Te.

I actually think Leo is an ENTP. I admit he does seem very S, but I find that he is more in Ne/Si-dom - very adaptable, always finding new uses for things, throwing out ideas all over the place, also thinks about his past and inventions of the past.

Nico is one that really stumps me. At one point I thought he was INFP. Sometimes he gives me an ISFJ vibe.

Percy's got gigantic S and F written all over him. XSFP or sure. Can't decide if his Fi or Se is stronger, but on a whole I'm leaning to wards ESFP.

Annabeth: INTJ 6w5 (or 5w6, I can see both) 3w4 1w?
Percy: ISFP (he doesn't seem to use neither Ni or Te, but his actions are more Fi-based. I can see ESFP too) 9w8 7w8 2w1
Grover: IxFP 1w9 2w1 5w4
Thalia: ENTP 6w7 8w7 4w3
Luke: ENFJ 2w3 7w8 8w9

I agree with MOSTLY everything you said but I have to say that I think that Reyna would be an ENTJ.
I think this because she is actually quite different from Annabeth in the fact that she is determined to hide her feelings just like an ENTJ and she is not as arraggont as Annabeth (i mean that it isnt her fatal flaw) but I do agree that they are quite similar but I think this is only because they share the same endings -NTJ. Also, I always fel like I can relate a lot more to Reyna than Annabeth [i am ENTJ]
 
#25 ·
I would give Percy ESFP because I think he showed a little bit of Te towards the end of TLO, which got me thinking: Percy runs mainly on Fi and Se while Annabeth is an NTJ, so maybe Percy doesn't really develop his Ni and Te because he can rely on Annabeth. When Annabeth goes down in the final Battle of Manhattan, that's when Percy starts showing some Te because he doesn't have Annabeth to help him organise the demigods.
 
#26 ·
My guesses are

Percy - ESFP. We could draw a parallel between him and Harry Potter, who is ISFP
Annabeth - ENTJ. Again, faaaar more intuitive than Hermione.
Grover - ESFP
Thalia - ESTP
Luke - ISTJ
Nico - ISFJ on a Si-Ti loop.
Piper - ISFP
Jason - ESTJ
Hazel - ISFJ
Leo - ExTP, leaning towards ENTP
Frank - ISFJ
Tyson - ESFJ
Clarisse - ESTP
Reyna - xSTJ
Will- from the little that is shown, ExFJ

Jason is definitely an INTP.

His cognitive funtion stack is definitely Ti-Ne-Si-Fe.
-He is extremely logical and "cold"
-He is stuck in his head a lot and he comes off as a bit "dumb" because he is not inclined to show off his intelligence. Annabeth, an INTJ is seen as smart because she can externalize her logic (due to Te) and can explain her ideas well. Jason is actually very intelligent but he doesn't externalize his thoughts much. He only really shares information when it is necessary or when he is obsessed with the topic.
-He really doesn't like leadership. He was forced into being a leader at Camp Jupiter and expresses his dislike of this. He ends up going his own way after Gaea is defeated. This is where, again, the differences between INTJ Annabeth and INTP Jason show. INTJ Annabeth is much better at getting stuff done and
-He constantly is building his own framework of how the world works and how the gods and mythology fit into it.
-He hates rules and only followed them to keep peace because he hates conflict and disharmony.
-He is very good at looking at things from all different points of view and was used as a mediator at Camp Jupiter.
-He is also good at being a "chameleon" (a typical INTP trait)
-He can empathize with people and has an altruistic view on helping others (Fe is about how everyone else feels while Fi is about how the self feels)
-He struggles with knowing who he is (definitely a sign of inferior Fe and that Fi is lowest shadow function)
-He really isn't very emotional and he ignores how he feels most of the time
-He isn't easy to read
-He has the whole struggle with finding what he wants to do for the rest of his life/career. He struggles with where he fits in.
-He has a good instinct for what people are capable of but he does not know what he is capable of
-He spaces out and gets lost in thought a lot
-He is clueless when it comes to reading other people's feelings towards him
-He is detached from his emotions and gets in trouble because he sometimes isn't sensitive towards other's feelings
-He has a really good memory (Si) and can memorize and recall facts well
-He has obsessions with certain topics (Diocletian is a good example)
-His sense of humor is kind of dark, dry, ironic, and sarcastic

There are a lot more examples from the books so if I remember them I will add them later

Also, just a thing to remember: according to Jung, if you are an introvert, your conscious functions are your introverted ones and your more subconsious functions are your extroverted ones. INTP's conscious functions are Ti and Si and they are more easily recognized . This makes a lot of sense in Jason's case because if he is definitely an introvert and if he was an IXTJ, one of his functions would be Fi. He doesn't display Fi and he definitely has Fe as an inferior subconsious function.

Jason-ISTJ. He is quite good at imposing rules & regulations and keeps his emotions internalised
Percy-ISFP. He is infact quite impulsive but ADHD could account for that
Nico-INTJ in Ni Fi loop or ISTJ in Si Fi loop. He is extremely bothered by his memory of Bianca and has a tendency to do what has to be done for the greater good.
Thalia-ESTP. Dominant Se for her battle skills.
Annabeth-INTJ. Is there any doubt? Plus I relate to her quite well.
Piper-ISTP. She is quite practical and refuses to live by the Aphrodite standards but has a well developed Fe
Reyna-ESTJ.
Hazel-ISFJ.
Frank-ISFJ
Leo-ISTP. He is quite practical and does not understand people very well (inferior Fe).
Rachel-ENFP. No doubt.
Chiron-ISTJ.
Tyson-ESFJ.
Grover-ESFP.
Luke-ESTP.
Calypso-INFJ.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

I really like this breakdown of Jason because I've never thought of him as an INTP. Me being an INTP myself, I thought Annabeth was closer than any other character. But she seems a little too xxxJ to me. But INTPs can be like INTJs on certain topics and projects. . . and the way she had to innovate quickly without getting too frustrated makes me wonder if INTJs can be like INTPs on occasion.

But I never considered Jason to be INTP before. I've always kinda thought of him as an ESxx, but whenever a character seems a little dumb or showy to me I automatically classify them as ESFP until I can narrow it down, so I clearly have some bias against that. Jason is a protagonist, but he also has some inferior Fe and prefers to do things quietly. . . the first example I can think of is the beginning of Jason's being a character, when he randomly wakes up and is holding hands with Piper on a bus. I can recall that he doesn't understand it but doesn't want to freak her out or hurt her feelings, which is a small component of what he thought in that moment. But he still doesn't really strike me as INTP; none of the characters in this series do for me except Annabeth and y'know. Jason seems a little more ISTJ-ey for me. But you definitely are right about his inferior Fe.

This would give us these Fe types (bold is Fe inferior):
INTP, ISTP, INFJ, ISFJ, ENFJ, ESFJ, ENTP, ESTP

From these, I'd say ISTP makes the MOST sense if it had to. Jason rather misses how things fit together, but he gets all the details down. In the end he decides to go his own way, stemming from his sense of duty. The work he would do is kind of alone work, but decides to do it for good reason. This would give him Ti-Se-Ni-Fe, which I think makes sense.

In the Lost Hero, Jason is seriously taking in every single external detail and trying to apply it to him. The descriptions of scenery and life through Jason's perspective leads me to think he does have some Se. He also has a lot of internalized connections about what he sees. Like he concludes, based on the way Coach Hedge was looking at him, Hedge knew Jason didn't belong there and Jason feared some kind of trouble that way.

Jason and Percy seemed to share some of the same views, but Jason is a bit more internal about it than Percy is. I've seen a lot of types for Percy on here, though, so I'm not sure what Percy would be based on Jason. If Jason is Ti, then I'd assume Percy to be inferior Te, like ISFP.

I think it's also fair to remember that a lot of these characters would not be the average person you type with MBTI. Trauma can cause the functions to get off-balance and change personality, like how everyone is noting that Nico was "Extroverted" before Bianca died. I believe he just lost some of the faith he had in people generally and started to keep it internal. He liked to care about people, but from far away and in his own head. INFP makes sense for Nico because the INFPs I've known were like that as children. Introverts can seem very extroverted at times and Nico always did stick around Bianca. So I'm not sure I would call his ten-year-old self ENFP. Also, I've heard that many psychologists and such refuse to use MBTI on kids younger than fourteen because it wouldn't be as accurate. So these are all things to put into account.

So that would mean we have
Jason ISTP
Annabeth INTJ
Percy ESFP-ish
Nico INFP


Now I'm having a hard time typing Bianca. Not only because she was only around for one book, but because she's kinda faint in my memory and I do believe her to be xNTP. I'm thinking this because she did leave Nico behind and showed little remorse for it, because the Hunters made more sense to her and Nico was sure to be taken care of. Nico was definitely hurt by this, but Bianca still didn't care all that much. She loved to debate and argue about her beliefs, is all I can really remember about her. I'm thinking ENTP because she seemed to mesh into the Hunters seamlessly. If she were INTP, she would just be standing there like "Um hey".

Jason ISTP
Annabeth INTJ
Percy ESFP-ish
Nico INFP
Bianca ENTP

I think it's difficult for me to remember, when typing these characters, some occasions you are directly in their head and sometimes you're on the outside. In introverts, which most of the 7 seem to be Introverted, your primary function isn't immediately noticeable unless you are directly living in their head.

Percy's perspective in the PJO books really help us out on this. At the very beginning of The Lightning Thief he has a monologue about who he is generally. He feels cheated and isolated. I'm not sure if he isn't social because he moves school so much and things don't make sense to him, or if he genuinely is introverted. But I do think of the way Percy meets new demigods and such. A lot of the other, more obviously introverted characters, are more nervous and obviously tense. And when he first arrives at Camp Half Blood he gets off the porch and decides to just walk around like "Hey how are you and how are you and how are you", more in his head than outside of it, but you probably get it.

Meanwhile, Jason wakes up somewhere he doesn't belong and he's like "AAAAH AAAAH AHHHH" everywhere he looks.

Again in Son of Neptune when Percy is running from the gorgons he reaches a point where he's like "This exist and that exists and this makes me feel this and this could be this y'know", which makes me think he could be a more introverted ESFP. I'm having a hard time understanding ESFPs because the stereotype is they're stupid party animals, but I'm thinking ESFPs just might not be the best for institution, which Percy definitely isn't. Leo isn't really either. So it might be an xSxP thing.

Here's my final delineations:
Percy ESFP
Jason ISTP
Nico INFP
Bianca ENTP
Annabeth INTJ
Leo ISTP

Other than that, I haven't really thought about it.
