from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

I saw Miss Murder's avatar and thought about this green guy.

What type would he be? Maybe I_TJ?

He did think of that plan, and the way it all seemed to fit together in a flash hints at INTJ, I guess? But his plan fails because he can't grasp the underlying concept that keeps the townspeople celebrating, hinting at ISTJ, maybe?

He lives in a cave away from everyone else, and has a heart 3 sizes too small. (I think it was three...) Stereotypical I_T_. :coffee:



Any guesses or thoughts? I think ISTJ here.

Definitely I_TJ, and I'm going with INTJ, because of his vision and masterplan to destroy a holiday with a significant, abstract meaning to him.

INTJ for me as well.

I don't think his inability to understand the underlying concept of Xmas not being about gifts has to do with a lack of Ni as much as a lack of Fi.

That said, I could also go with ENTJ.

Lack of Fi?! That's totally Fi. Te doesn't understand the use of Xmas, subconscious Fi grips tight to the hurt from the past (I'm thinking of the movie, not sure what happened in the classic Grinch tale) and thusly is opposed to all things Xmas!

That's what I meant.

It's very disconcerting to know that it seems most villains are INTJs.

What about some INTJs who win, for once?

What's your case for ENTJ?

And Haphazard, you get Gandalf, right?

Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda. He turned a fat panda into the Dragon Warrior in no time.

I'm not explaining things to n00bs any longer.

Why don't you do some research on functional order before you start attacking me?

Or how about this, read about the Field Marshall type! The Grinch is more the Field Marshall role than the Mastermind.

How is he N?

Seriously...
Where's the abstract ideal impression Ni?

After doing my research on this, INTJ still seems the best fit for him.

--He may be an ENTJ, in the case of the Unpopular Extrovert. It would fit him, with the strong Te.

--Nocapszy, what would you suggest? The way he devised his plan, bringing it together out of nowhere, seemed kind of N...but maybe that judgment would be better for Ns to make.

--Lots of sources say Tesla was an INTJ, though some also say ENTP.
