[INFP] Famous fictional INFPS

[OrangeAppled]

Oh so the other thread is apparently about "what do other types think about INFPs in light of societal gender norms?" Because personally I find such behavior whiny from either gender.

So do I, but it's more accepted for women. I'm usually on the listening end of it with female friends, most of whom are ESxx types.

I was thinking of the Little Prince in the book by the same name.

Definitely.

I don't see how Master Chief is an INFP. However, I can see the Arbiter as an INFJ. His speech is of a poetic nature, and he is quite passionate and focused about his cause.

I'm not completely sure about this, but I have a hunch that the Tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park was INFP.

 

[Laurie]

Ender

 

[simulatedworld]

Holden Caulfield!

 

[phthalocyanine]

piglet from winnie the pooh?

 

[Ginkgo]

Ender

I agree, at least for his grown up persona.

EDIT: [THIS PART WAS CENSORED IN RESPECT FOR GREAT ENDER]

Such a thing would probably be highly illogical to an INTP

 

[Laurie]

Oh shush, you better edit that plot part right there. Ender is sacred!

 

[Laurie]

Holden Caulfield!

I'm such a dork. I'm like.. that name sounds familiar. Then I pick up the book I'm reading, Catcher in the Rye, and Sally yells "Holden!"

 

[Ginkgo]

Holden Caulfield!

Yeah, only an INFP would hire a prostitute just to talk with her.

 

[JivinJeffJones]

Witt from The Thin Red Line
Prince Lyov Nikolayevich Myshkin from The Idiot by Dostoyevsky

Both great INFPs.

 

[Southern Kross]

I just re-watched Four Weddings and a Funeral the other day and was thinking that Charles (Hugh Grant's character) could be. But he could be a ISFP I suppose.

 

[neptunesnet]

Holden Caulfield!

Oh God, I hope not.

 

[Snuggletron]

Would Don quixote be INFP with a weak I? def an NF with insane Ne.

When it comes to these things characters escape me.

 

[BlackCat]

Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.

Oh so the other thread is apparently about "what do other types think about INFPs in light of societal gender norms?" Because personally I find such behavior whiny from either gender.

So do I. That's why we INFPs so often hate ourselves or don't talk, perhaps? We (I) wish we would shut up about it, already. Maybe that's why we write fiction? Then we have free range to do it and it's considered art.

 

[Stansmith]

The protagonist in this might be INFP.

 

[prplchknz]

I relate so much to calvin from calvin and hobbes

 

[LadyLazarus]

Holden Caulfield, who has probably already been mentioned.

 

[Flâneuse]

A few of my favorites (and a good example of how different INFPs can be):

INFP 4w5 - Claire Fisher (Six Feet Under)
INFP 9w1 - Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
INFP 6w5 - Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Southern Kross, I attended an MBTI film talk by doctor of psychology at the local university and he said that Hugh Grant's character was an INTP. Being an INTP, I can see similarities between the character and mine, but I am nowhere near as promiscuous as his character and tend not to swear if I am running late. But he does have difficulty making up his mind in love like me and is socially awkward like me.
