Kung Fu Panda character Types?

[Jeffster]

In which movie does Jack Black not play an ENFP? That's right I couldn't think of one either. He's one of those actors that basically plays himself in every movie, but it's funny so we go see it anyway.

Kung Fu Panda is the first movie I've "seen" him in. Nothing else I've ever seen trailers for with him looked at all worth watching.

Go on, I would love to hear your reasoning. Personally, I have no clue where to start analyzing on him...

About Tai Lung's MBTI?

Okay, here's my analysis about him -- And why I type him as ISTP

He's definitely an introvert -- I don't see him surrounded by many, though. (I)

He never uses analogies, and yet he almost always take the same route. Evidence: Po vs Tai Lung scene. (S)

He would be more sensitive and aware to other's feelings, if he's F (T)

He is nothing but flexible. He never plans (P)

okay, the animals is better than names, imo

panda - ENFP

panda's father - SJ

turtle - INFP

small red panda master - INTJ

big bad snow leopard - ISTJ (ENFP as kid); check star wars..

young tigress - INTP (quite annoyed with panda; unrecognised for her talent)

other animal fighters - ISTP

the movie didn't have too many characters, hm..

@rank:
I disagree with your opinion about Tai Lung's MBTI. He's no way a J, he never plans his action. He's just, IMO, ISTP who's about under the great stress and then the shadow persona, ENFJ is began to appear

Orange County is by far his best performance. Written by Mike White iirc.

So I saw this movie yesterday, and many of the personalities intrigued me but I could only be sure of one beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Now we can debate these, and I don't mind, but I would like to get insight into the other personalities.

Thanks

So glad you post this!
I have been wondering the same thing. I don't know about Po, but Master Shifu is so an INTJ and that's why he's my favourite character! Maybe Master Tigress is a little bit of INTJ too, but she has a deeper emotional attachement trying to be perfect for his "father".

Po seems to me to be Idealistic, though I have not much knowledge of Non NT types, so I may be wrong.

Anyway, I loved the movie, it made me laugh and made me think about courage to pursuit your life goals. good movie!

P.S.: Oh, and don't care about those bittered people that don't know how to have fun! So glad you started this post!

Oh, I have an answer to this question now, because I saw him in "Tropic Thunder" and his character in that was ESFP.
