Type Heroes: ENFJ – The Veteran

June 15, 2013 / Calise Sellers

All the typings and observations in this post are based on definitions and information presented in the aLBoP Guided Tour 😀 So if any of it bugs you, please go read that before leaving me a grumpy comment… Or, you know what? Let’s just skip the grumpy comments! Have a nice day! <3

ENFJ
The Veteran

“It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it becomes rigid and stale.”
Uncle Iroh, Avatar: The Last Airbender
(the TV show *not* the movie :P)

The ENFJ Veteran is the master of experience. They have a timeless quality that both looks to the past and the overarching meaning of what people have done and what events have transpired, but lives and acts in the moment. They have a rich, sage-like understanding of history and the actions and interactions of others, with a contrasting childlike exuberance for living and experiencing the world around them with people they love. Little Veterans often parent their peers, while Veteran adults often treat their children or students like trusted and respected peers. They live for their connections with people, and the joy of seeing another achieve real happiness or the pain over another’s loss is indistinguishable to them from the joy or pain over their own travails.

Type Heroes: ESTP – The Spartan

ESTP
The Spartan

“Time for some thrilling heroics.”
Jayne Cobb, Firefly

The ESTP Spartan is a champion of individualism and loyal to the core if you’ve won their favor, which is based on your respect and acceptance of them. The Spartan loves themselves… as well they should. They’re funny, charming and observant with an unperturbed hunger for life and adventure. They also love other people and champion others’ individuality as much as their own… almost 😉 Where ISTPs love to use their selves to experience the world; ESTPs love to use the world and others to experience the exciting thing that is their *self!*

Type Heroes: INFJ – The Paladin

INFJ
The Paladin

“A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship…but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!”
Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Film

The INFJ Paladin is heroic to the core. They have an incredible sense of scope and justice and desire above all to show others through example how to be heroic themselves (as quite aptly put here). They go on their own unique quests through life, hoping to inspire others to do the same. They long to be heroic, but usually don’t believe that they’re anything special, so they believe and preach that anyone can be heroic.

Type Heroes: Which Hero of Legend Will You Be?

April 30, 2013 / Calise Sellers

Let me introduce to you the most archetypal tale that has been played throughout the ages; a sweeping epic with sixteen protagonists; sixteen larger-than-life heroes that are each unique in purpose, style, thought and action and, like old friends, we would feel incomplete without any one. Each has their own treacherous journey to travail as they endeavor to stay true to themselves and not be overcome by the choices and obstacles that get in their way.
