Anna: ENFP

Taken from my main MBTI blog, MBTI Hipster.


Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Anna is a big dreamer. Lacking experiencing with romantic relationships and knowing none other than her parents' happy marriage and fairy tales, she romanticizes romance. It is her idealization of what she yearns for that ultimately almost gets herself killed. Elsa is at least as sheltered but still knows not to jump into that true love stuff (though to be fair, Elsa is being more scared than sensible here). She is hugely optimistic and passionately pursues the idea of love after years of loneliness. She spontaneously comes up with new ideas and plans without much logic behind them- marry Hans to escape misery? Go track Elsa down in the middle of the night with wolves around? Bribe some strange, rude ice harvester into guiding her? Cut the rope and HOPE they land softly? Sure!


Introverted Feeling (Fi): Anna is very sweet but fiercely protectively of those she loves. She easily forms close bonds with her Kristoff (albeit after some bickering) and Olaf. She never forgets the closeness she used to have with Elsa, and holds onto their sisterly love for years, even when Elsa ignored her for seemingly no reason, hurting her badly. Her moral compass is strong, and she never sways from it. She later makes the choice to sacrifice herself for Elsa when she had a chance to save her own life.


Extroverted Thinking (Te): While Anna is not the most logical person, she is very determined, and anything she sets her mind to, she does, letting nothing stop her. She forms a plan to get Elsa back and recruits Kristoff, demanding they set the plan in motion immediately to save time. Knowing it was her own fault, she offers to pay for a new sled to replace Kristoff's old one (and goes through with it- also bestowing a new job upon him!).


Introverted Sensing (Si): Anna was unhappy growing up alone, but treasure memories of playing around the castle with her sister. She is bored being all by herself, but has the same ways to amuse herself: jumping on the couches, talking to portraits, consistently knocking on Elsa's door and trying to persuade her to come out, always using their special knocking when she does it. She values traditional romance, and always uses the good manners a princess's upbringing gave her.

Snow White: ENFJ

Taken from my blog MBTI Hipster.



Extraverted Feeling (Fe): No doubt about it, Snow White is warm, caring, and a social butterfly. She enjoys engaging with others, even the forest animals, and having parties. When she first arrives at the cottage, she assumes it must be orphan children living there and sympathizes with them. She immediately warms up to the Dwarfs and takes over their little cottage like it's her own business as a mother figure. She's outspoken and honest. After being treated like a slave by her only family member, she still wishes to find love and hear "the nice things he'll say". In addition to that, her prayer to make Grumpy like her indicates she needs affirmation from others. She is respectful of others, always mindful of her manners, and likes to tease her friends a little bit to make them laugh, never taking offense herself when Grumpy is rude to her. Her worst flaw in the iconic apple scene is that she is polite to a fault: she can't just tell the "poor old lady" no and be rude! She knows not to let strangers in but her heart reaches out to someone she sees as suffering and has to help them.



Introverted Intuition (Ni): Snow White is very dreamy, deeply romantic, and just knows that her prince will find her while she's in hiding (and she's right!). She likes to daydream about her hopes and dreams while she works hard. She believes in fate and magic and after some initial hesitation, she takes the old peddler up on her offer of the magic wishing apple, with its promise to make her dreams come true. She's optimistic to a fault and trusts her instincts, like letting the old lady into the house, despite the dwarfs' warning and the animals' protests.

Extroverted Sensing (Se): Snow White can be a little impulsive. Like I said, her first action is to let the old lady into the house without really thinking, and then after some nervousness decides to take a chance and eat the apple to get what she wants. She likes to make herself look good and is embarrassed to have her crush see her in dirty rags. She likes to bake and thinks giving Grumpy a delicious pie might cheer him up. In fact, she convinces them to let them stay by trying to appeal to their sweet tooth!  She's observant and notices how small and dirty the place is and draws conclusions based on that. She's not very adventurous but isn't afraid of being forced out of her comfort zone.


Introverted Thinking (Ti): Snow White tends to make more emotionally-based decisions, but she is analytical, deducing who must live at the cottage and easily figures out which Dwarf Grumpy is, sarcastically (if sweetly) pointing it out.

Rapunzel: ESFJ

Taken from my main MBTI blog.





Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Rapunzel is very warm to everyone she meets. She's a people-person and likes to create a happy environment at home for Gothel. She is charismatic and easily inspires others- she gets everyone at the Snuggly Duckling to open up their feelings to her. She's very friendly and you'd be hard-pressed to find a single person in the movie who dislikes her at all (even Gothel goes out of her way to make her happy for her birthday). Due to the fact that she's something of a people-pleaser, this leads Rapunzel to need validation from others, and feel insecure if she doesn't have it. She can also be over-emotional, panicking when she thinks she may hurt Gothel. (Really, where do people see an ENFP's Fi in her at all?)


Introverted Sensing (Si): Rapunzel likes routine, and keeps to it everyday: chores, crafts, exercise, re-reading her books, and so on-and does these without fail, even though it all starts to bore her. She never misses the lights that appear every year on her birthday, which becomes a special tradition for her. She pays attention to details and remembers them well, like the sun symbol she's painted so much since childhood, and where exactly she's seen it before. She can be passive, doing as Gothel says and sometimes letting Flynn lead for her. She's always been taught that the outside is dangerous and believes it without questioning, because that's how Gothel has always taught her to believe.


Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Rapunzel has stayed in her tower for 18 years, only leaving when Flynn arrives and presents the possibility of leaving safely. She channels her imagination through her preexisting skills as an artist (Si). She eventually pieces together her backstory just from seeing the sun symbol. She enjoys new ideas, as shown in the "I've Got a Dream" sequence. Her lower Ne makes her very paranoid of bad outcomes, though- will Gothel be hurt? What about all the dangers in the world? Will Flynn really leave her as Gothel warns?



Introverted Thinking (Ti): Rapunzel is curious and wants to figure out who, or what, is behind the lanterns that mysteriously appear every year on her birthday. She is shown to enjoy the logical game of chess and solving puzzles at home. Once she pieces together the truth of her heritage, she is able to objectively look at her "mother" for the first time. She sometimes over-analyzes her own feelings, and can sometimes find creative solutions to problems, like using her hair as a lasso or underwater light. She rationalizes her desire to leave the tower, even while admitting it would be immoral to defy and deceive Gothel, so she won't feel guilty about it. However, she primarily prefers to make decisions based on how she feels.

Gothel is an ESTJ, Flynn is an ENTP, Max is an ENTJ.
