IMO, Gandalf is too paternalistic to be INTP. And for the record, my INTJ bff is one of the chillest guys I know.
Agreed. Limey is pretty laid back as well. As for Gandolf, who cares what type he is. I'd totally let him do naughty things to me. :wub:

Since there has been an entire weekend of LOTR trilogy marathon on TNT, thought I'd get input from you guys on the MBTIs:

Frodo - INFP(Thanks Jennifer)
Sam - ISFJ(Thanks Jennifer)
Aragorn - INFJ?
Arwen - ?
Legolas - ISTP(Thanks OnewithSoul)
Gimli - ISTJ
Gandalf - INTJ
Anyone else want to add to the list?

Frodo - ISFP
Sam - ISFJ/ISTJ
Aragorn - INFP
Arwen - ESFP
Legolas - ESFP
Gimli - ESFP
Gandalf - INTJ
Saruman - ENFJ
Sauron - ENTJ
Faramir - ENFJ
Gollum - INFJ
Stuart of citadel - ENTP
King of Rohan - ESTJ

Edit: I don't remeber all the names from the movie unfortunately. And maybe I'm trying to figure out what personality they may have in reality, and not in the movie...

ENTP
Gandalf: INTP - he is one of these fearsome old INTPs who has finally decided to act.
Aragorn: ISTP - he is clearly very intelligent and calculating but also very physical.
Legolas: ISxP - not sure about f/t as elves are very Fi people in arda but Ti is shown alot.
Boromir: ESTj I think his j is actually the ring having an unhealthy influence whereas he is a natural P all be it an organized one.
Gimli: ESTJ
Frodo: INFP
Sam: ISFJ
Merry: ExTP
Pippin: ExFP
^ I agree with t and f for both merry and pippin but i'm not sure about S/N as while very sensual at time i think they are very idea orientated pippin inparticular strikes me at times a N.


Bilbo: ENFJ shows a lot of insight and likes to be the sociable person thats knows everyone
Smeagol/Gollum: really not sure

Elrond: INtJ definatly Ni but can ber f at times
Arwen: xNFP seems happy but lost so NFP but sure about I/E
Galadriel: ENFJ think thats right
Tom Bombadil: very Ne and happy bubbly so ENFP possibly ENTP though as there is little Ti or Fi

Eomer: ESTJ
Eowyn: ESFp i think her independant ness and spirit say ESFP but with developed Si that fits with her Se due to her physical warrior wanabe nature
Gryma Wormtongue: INTP a very unhealthy
Faramir: IStP good f but i think more t
Denethor: hmm an unhealthy xSTJ

Sauron: EnTJ I'm not sure as he is Te and at times shows intuition but his past shows as ESTJ side at times.
Saruman: INTJ gone very wron

Eowyn -- at least as performed by Miranda Otto -- strikes me as an ENFP. It's been a while since I've read the thing, so Tolkien's version may differ. Mostly what I remember is her complete change of romantic allegiance, and indeed personality, within a paragraph.

Tolkien wasn't that great with characters. He was more a theme kind of guy.

I'd say Gandalf the Grey is INTP, and Gandalf the White leans more toward INTJ.

Yeah. Once she's made up her mind, you've got that steadfast emotional conviction. Against all reason, she knows what she needs to do.

I don't think it's possible to know Arwen's type just by the LotR books, has anyone read the Silmarillion? Arwen's type would be the same as Luthien's, wouldn't it?

Aragorn is INFJ?

I would have said ENFJ, but I guess perhaps that makes sense...everyone seems to agree...

Damnit, I had him as my ENFJ "reference" :doh:
