In reply to Faye. BTW, I just went back to the “Albop is not MBTI” post to see if I was missing something. My understanding is that basically they found MBTI to be unscientific, but they found the work of Jung, Myers, and Briggs to be worthwhile, so they tried to come up with their own definitions of the types based on that work. So they’re not completely unrelated, right? Because they’re based on the same ideas. But MBTI has extrapolated those ideas to be about people’s behavior whereas Albop has kept it to being about cognition. Is that a correct understanding? So my guess as to why people using MBTI would type Beauty and the Beast differently than Albop is because maybe the behavior of Beauty and the Beast is different from what is stereotypical for their type of cognition?

It's been awhile since I've watched Stranger Things, but each section is like a little love letter about each of the characters your love and enjoyment of them shows through so much. Haha Also, holy cow. So much applicable stuff for understanding people and how they work. Which I don't think I noticed as much the first time reading through. I do remember the first time I read this that the quote about friends wanting, needing, and loving you, really stood out to me and was maybe kinda life changing because I hadn't really had friends before that fit all three. I do now but yeah.

I really love how much love, thought and effort you put into this post! 50k words can already form a novel, and every section unfaltering delivers incisive analyses that astound me with so many things I never thought of before. I should go back and watch Stranger Things again 😛

What an amazing post! You made me want to start watching Stranger Things again! XD

I especially love the part about the dynamics between Hopper and Eleven. While watching the show the first time through with my wife, we kept pausing it during those scenes to talk about their relationship, what they were doing right, and what they should be doing differently. We were so happy to see that even with all their mistakes, they each bravely changed in the ways they needed to, and both El’s and Hopper’s hearts were filled in the ways they needed most. Such a great message from such a great show! Thank you so much for dedicating so much time to writing this!

This post is amazing and I love how both Will and the Mind Flayer are the same type. It’s also so cool to see how important Dustin and Mike are with their often undervalued EFP types. Also how cool is the show to have so many INTJ’s and fully show how diverse a single type is.

This post is incredible. All the time and effort put into it shows. I love how all the characters are portrayed in such a detailed way that lets me relate to the them really well and I hope I can take the insights here about people as well as the themes of hope and friendship and apply them to my life.

As a huge fan of Stranger Things, this is an amazing read. Haven’t finished reading yet, but I just wanted to stop and say that this is incredibly interesting and accurate, most definitely going to share with other fans ?

In reply to J.S..

Regarding why this site has different definitions and therefore different types attributed to characters than other MBTI site, imagine 2 systems trying to categorize these math equations:
10 / 2
20 – 3
5 / 17
4 – 15

Two categorization systems both use 2 letter pairs to determine the equation type. One system defines them like this:
“A type” equations result in larger numbers.
“B type” equations result in smaller numbers.
“C type” equations have more 1s in them.
“D type” equations have more 0s in them.

The other system defines them like this:
“A type” equations use division.
“B type” equations use subtraction.
“C type” equations have the larger number first.
“D type” equations have the smaller number first.

The first system is MBTI while the second is this site. I think this is at least a somewhat accurate representation.
