Why Frozen's Elsa is INFJ

[sophiabrown]

I know this is an old thread, but this is a terrible argument. All the OP did was push characteristics not specific to type onto both INFJs and ISFJs, highlighting how much "better" INFJs are compared to ISFJs yet ironically not using any intelligent typing method to back up his/her argument. The general argument seems to be "Look at how special INFJs are!" When pretty much most of what OP said can easily be transferred onto literally any other type. Feeling like society doesn't understand you because you're different? Check! Feeling angry and rebellious? Check! Hiding emotional vulnerability? Check! The reason you relate to Elsa is because anyone who has ever felt that they need to hide who they are can easily relate to her. Some of your isolation from society may have to do with aspect that come from your personality type, but it's ridiculous to put so much importance onto it that any character you relate to must be that personality type. I strongly relate to Elsa, but I'm not shallow enough to think it must be because we share personality types (infp) rather than who we both are as people.

Also, Elsa's "Let it Go" song hardly showed strong use of Ni. She spent her entire young life in her room hiding her powers, attempting to suppress them because she felt it was her duty to take care of her sister and kingdom (Si). Her burst of creativity (Ne) came from her having freedom that she has disallowed herself for the longest time believing it the best for her kingdom (Si-Fe). She basically ran away from her kingdom but didn't think of the future consequences of this decision, and when confronted with them she lashed out out of fear by hurting Anna unintentionally (inf-Ne).

So yes Elsa may very well be an ISFJ. Sort of trumps your whole "ISFJs are as deep or creative" spiel and your so-called intuitive sense.
