Type Heroes: ISFJ – The Knight

July 20, 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

ISFJ
The Knight

“Because the one thing I know…
some things are just worth fighting for.”
Jim Raynor, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

The ISFJ Knight is the flagship of dependability. Noble, loyal and chivalrous are words that describe these on-the-ground captains. They have the world perspective to understand why the people and ideals they serve are so important and are great at seeing in the moment plans of action. They live to serve something greater than themselves in a straight-forward, get-it-done sort of way. They don’t usually mind getting a little dirt on their hands because they don’t think they’re special enough to be looked to as an example anyway. And though they don’t expect to be thanked, they’ll get touchy when it’s suggested they weren’t doing their all.

Type Heroes: ISTP – The Weapons Specialist

ISTP
The Weapons Specialist

[Calmly tied up in a chair being interrogated by Russians, getting a call offering an extraction]
“Are you kidding? I’m working.”
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, The Avengers

The ISTP Weapons Specialist is the master of… mastery; the specialist of specialism. They excel at falling in love with something and immersing themselves totally and completely in it, using their bodies and minds together as a precision instrument at whatever speaks to them. Their body is their world-discovering device and nothing will get between them and that adventure.

Type Heroes: ENFJ – The Veteran

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

May 6, 2013 / Calise Sellers

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

May 6, 2013 / Calise Sellers

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.
