To my surprise, nobody has made a Guardians of the Galaxy thread yet. So I decided to do it myself.

Peter Quill/ Star-Lord - ENTP
Gamora-ISTP
Drax-ISTP
Rocket Raccoon-ESTP
Groot-INFJ
Ronan-ESTJ
Nebula-ISTJ
Thanos-INTJ

Agree /disagree.

I'm in the minority on this, but Peter Quill seems pretty ENFJ to me.

He's more focused on the welfare of others, and his best skill is bringing people together through diplomacy.

If you think that he's an ENFJ, than I'm not surprised that you're in the minority.

I would actually reverse Peter Quill's and Rocket Raccoon's.

Rocket is a classic ENTP - Constantly coming up with ideas and seen everything for the potential of what can be made of them and the oppertunities they hold (Ne). Peter can be opportunistic too, but he seems a lot more focused on what things are and the facts in front of him, with a much more occasional flash of insight (Se/Ni). I could see Peter as an ENFJ, he has more developed Fe then Rocket, but I have a hard time rationalizing him as any kind of J.

Drax is.. an ISP. He is definitely not an ISTP because his main handicap is the inability to process Ti, neither is he Fi. He basically lacks judgement functions. It's his thing.

And in the same spirit... Let me just check something.
*Psst, Hey Groot, what type do you think you are?*

No way man.

I know, right? People think rocket is an ENTP just because he invents things and has clever ideas and plans. but in the end, the Se is just undeniable.

Just saw the second movie too.

I'll start with the one that I'm positive about:
Yondu - ESTP

As for the rest:
Peter Quill - ESFP (possibly an ENFP). Fi user for sure. However, he is xx/so or so/xx
Rocket Racoon - Not sure if ISTP or ENTJ
Gamora - ISTP or INFJ (a Beta)
Drax - ISTJ (he's extremely sentimental and keeps thinking of the past. Doesn't read others' emotions well)
Groot - ISFJ
Gamora - I'm more sure of her being counter-phobic 6 than any MBTI type. Possibly a 'wronged' Fi user? ISFP? I really have no idea.
Ego - ???

I must say, that even after watching the first movie several times, and freshly watching the second movie, some of the characters are difficult to type for me.

Quick update. I have seen it a second time, and I think Peter is an ENFP, but on account of Chris being ESFP, has the ESFP body language. Still ENFP though. Gamora I think is ISTP. And Nebula possibly INFP? There seems to be a lot of injured Fi, but also some holding onto the past, which I'd attribute to tertiary Si...

Yondu and Rocket are both ESTPs and a big "chip on their shoulder" attitude, though Yondu has more developed Fe and Rocket has more developed Ni. It's evident in the second movie when Yondu points out the similarities between them both. Their harsh talk sometimes suggests tertiary Fe.

I juggle ENFP and ESFP for Peter Quill, I see elements of both Se and Ne in him and definitely Fi, with tertiary Te.

I went with ISTP for both Gamora and Drax, I see Ti/Se and inferior Fe for both of them, Drax's Fe is practically non-existent as he can't filter his speech.

Groot is an INFJ, his innovative solutions to problems and sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others suggests Ni/Fe.

Nebula is difficult to type, because her torturous life would have changed her mind as well as body and she would have an unhealthy version of whatever type she would be. Despite having had to fight her sister all the time while growing up, she has the capacity to forgive (but never forget), and leaves the film duty-bound to kill Thanos, utterly driven to end him. Could this suggest Si/Fe or Fe/Si? It could be this natural desire to care is why Thanos wanted to break her (I haven't read the comics tbh).

Yeah, like literally a month after posting this thread I changed my mind and started thinking Nebula is INFP. Especially after vol 2 dug more into her character

After constantly watching (I still do in a regular basis) This is what you all will get...:


Peter Quill/ Star-Lord - ENFP ( archetypal, does like some dark humor while ESFPs not, intuitive feeler with perceiving functions can sometimes do better as entrepreneurs than ENTPs. Actualkly he is so ENFP that even Ayesha hit on him)
Gamora-ENTJ (I know it sounds crazy, but she just has the shadow functions very well developed and tales a position that is not preferable to her, but she has to deal with being independent after rebelling against Thanos and Ronan... it doesn't mean it's her preference of position in life. Also she falls for Peter who is an ENFP ideal match for the NTJ)
Ayesha - ENTJ (She was hitting on Peter Quill first after he made the joke about "doing babies the fashionable way", who obviously is an ENFP who attracts tough women leaders and vice-verse, just see how Gamora and him were made for each other...)
Drax-ESFP (I don't see how he could be an introvert)
Rocket Raccoon-ESTP (This is obvious, he is more comfortable with the STP functions he prefers)
Groot-INFJ (We are Groot)
Mantis - INFJ ("Ï can feel their feelings" and she can know how a person is feeling better tham themselves... it's her superpower)
Ronan-INTJ (He is too patient and doesn't need facts too much to accomplish his goals and plans by being at a position of power with other executors of his mission)
Nebula-INTJ -( She is obviously an INTJ with extremely undeveloped Fi and Fe)
Thanos-ANTJ- (Same vibe from Nebula as you can obviously pervceive, but he uses Te much more dominantly than Ni. He speaks stuff through when he feel is needed to do that and it happens a lot, but he also talks to himself a lot, so I vote for ambivertion there
Taneleer Tivan-INTJ (Also INTJ while people confuse with ESTP! He is much introverted and very much Ni when he explains about the orb stone, Rocket says 'bla bla bla we wanna get paid" as he is completely not interested in any intuitive vision or explanation. And just because he is The Collector it doesn't have to mean he is instantly an STP, this is like assuming all CEOs must be ENTJs)

Nah, this seems the most accurate:
Star-Lord - ENFP (At his core, he's highly idealistic and always looks for higher meanings of his actions (Ne-Fi))
Gamora - ISTP (A text-book example)
Drax - ESTP (He's externally focused on his environment (Dom-Se), more so than Gamora)
Rocket Raccoon - ENTJ (I don't think he has Ti, he's more focused on the practical use of the data that he implements in plans (Te-Ni), rather than assimilating knowledge as a hobby)
Groot - ISFP (Definitely not an Ni-Dom, at any rate)
Ronan - ISTJ (In the comics, at least, the movie version is hard to type, because he's way too one-dimensional, and just portrayed as a genocidal monster, but still an STJ)
Nebula - ISFJ (She really just wants some love, wanting to be better than Gamora based on a childhood rivalry (a Si-Te characteristic) isn't anywhere as important to her as getting approval from her, because she's the only family she's ever had (Si-Fe))
Thanos - INTJ

And for those you didn't type:
Yondu - ESFP
Mantis - INFP
Ego - INTJ
The Collector - ISTP

What makes the Collector an ISTP? We dont generally see the need to keep things unless we are gonna use them. For example...a million dollar supercar is a waste to keep in the garage.

1.Introverted thinking. He is fascinated with collecting one-of-a-kind items across the universe, has great knowledge and a sort of an academic interest in the Universe and its components, as seen in his monologue to the Guardians.

2.Extroverted sensing. He is focused on sensory experiences, the aestethics and physical conditions of his collection. At first, I thought he might be an INTP, but he isn't focused on possibilities (Ne), but rather the concrete, matter-of-fact way things are, and he's gathering rare items of the Universe, because he has a need to have them all for himself to observe, a rather common Se trait.

3.Not all ISTP's are the same. And I know an ISTP martial artist trainer who collects stuff like knives and melee weapons, even though he never uses most of them, except for practice, but most of the stuff he has, he admits to only keep around because it looks cool (Sure, he's open to selling them, but hey, the economy is kinda tough in my country). The Collector is simply a lazy variant of an ISTP. Hell, "The Collector" sounds like a pretty neat name for said ISTP variant, I'm coining it.

I kind of thought Star Lord came off very ESFP. I know there's a tendency for typing sensors as intuitives on here, but he fits Jung's Se better imo - where Se is kind of dealing with things more as they are (including an intuitive understanding of their natures as Ni) and Ne giving preference on what "could be" kind of thing and following those intuitions, especially as they relate to impressionism as Si. I see a lot of ENFPs as photographers and digital media specialists, whereas ESFPs usually like jobs where they can deal with people more directly. In a way, ENFPs are probably more introverted in that regard, as far as my liberal use of the word here goes... Not sure about the other characters; they aren't as fleshed out as Peter Quill's character, or are too simple?, except for maybe Gamora, who is probably a sensory introvert imo.
