Does anyone know of any movies/TV shows/books/etc. that reference MBTI, or typology in general?

In Welcome to the N.H.K. Misaki is reading some Jung, and she types Satou as an Introverted Feeling type.

Sex and the City once made reference to Keirsey's Please Understand Me II, which made me laugh. Especially the woman crying hysterically while reading it, haha.

Here's a poor quality clip.

I did the same thing when I read it.

Poor Charlotte.

I just watched Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain last night and I saw some enneagram themes being used in the film. I saw the enneagram symbol on the necklace that Jodorowsky's alchemist character wears throughout the film and also on the table where the nine thieves of the holy mountain are sitting during the last scene. Supposedly, the planet each of the nine thieves represents connects to a point on the enneagram. Additionally, they all had to face their basic fears before reaching enlightenment, which again relates to the enneagram. I thought that was neat because I've never seen any references to typology in film before.

Don't they reference the Keirsey Temperament Sorter in The Haunting?

Could the Harry Potter houses count as similar to the four temperaments? Rowling herself seems to know a little about the MBTI.

Interesting. I need to watch The Holy Mountain again, I don't remember those aspects of it.
