The Resident: Billie Sutton [INTP 5w6]

MBTI Type: INTP Billie is very logical and thinks before she acts; she does not want to call out her rapist without considering the potential fall-out first, and when the heat gets to be too intense, she wants to call it all off and keep silent in order to make things easier for her son (he doesn’t know he is a “rape baby” or what happened to her). She shows a lot of inferior Fe in their…

Fried Green Tomatoes: Evelyn Couch [ESFJ 9w1]

MBTI Type: ESFJ Evelyn is a warm and friendly person, who tries hard to accommodate everyone else in her life. She goes with her husband to the nursing home, each time hoping his aunt won’t hate her guts, then winds up listening to Ninny tell her story and in turn, talking about her own life. She is emotional and easily offended or insulted, but tries not to cause any trouble for anyone else…

The Resident: Kincaid Sullivan [ISTP 9w1]

MBTI Type: ISTP Cade is yet another in a long line of emotionally distant doctors who don’t want to become too involved with their patients, who are pragmatic, and make decisions based on what is logical over their personal feelings. She continually covers up any emotional hurts through physical activity; staying active, having a “no strings connected” one night stand (which could later develop…

Fried Green Tomatoes: Ruth Jamison [ISFJ 1w2]

MBTI Type: ISFJ Ruth is down to earth and rooted in what matters; she compares her life with Idgie to the relationship they had when Idgie was a child, and likes to reminisce. She enjoys hearing the same stories over and over again. Most of the talents she cultivates are culinary, and she is happiest with a stable life that is predictable. Anything unusual, like Idgie taming bees, is a shock to…

Resident Alien: Harry Vanderspeigle [INTP 5w6]

MBTI Type: INTP Harry is very detached and analytical in how he handles problems; he finds humans interesting and likes to study them, but does not want to get emotionally involved with them. He is so logical, others fail to understand him or his off-brand sense of humor, which he tries to cover up with low Fe general awkwardness (laughing when he wants them to not take what he let slip too…

The Path to Self-Growth: Self-Awareness

Someone asked me recently if my understanding of my own type has changed over the last year or so, and I had to think about it (ha, ha, on brand for a head type, no?). I don’t think my understanding of 6 has changed, since I have pretty much been aware of “what is 6” and “how does it operate” for a long time now… but I think I have changed, enough that people in my every day life have commented…

The Resident: Barrett Cain [ENTJ 8w7]

MBTI Type: ENTJ Cain is all about the bottom line and billable hours; he is the top dog in the hospital, because he bills millions of dollars by lining up back-to-back surgeries, and taking on procedures that can get him the most payouts from the insurance company. It’s all about how much money he makes, having a clean record (even if he has to deny his mistakes and/or dump them in another ward…

Resident Alien: Asta Twelvetrees [ISFJ 2w1]

MBTI Type: ISFJ Asta is a very down to earth woman, who has a lot of past history she carries around with her, rather than living in the now. She knows and remembers everything about the people she works with, enough to tell that something is off with Harry compared to the person she knew before, and to be suspicious about the events surrounding her boss’ death. When things do not add up, she…

Gladiator: Lucilla [INFJ 6w5]

MBTI Type: INFJ Lucilla’s father laments that she was not born a man, for what a Caesar she would have made; it’s true, she is a strategic thinker, always focused on the future. When her brother arranges the gladiator games in order to “win over the mob,” Lucilla laments that he is using up their grain reserves to pay for them – in the future months, the people will starve. She knows instantly…

Resident Alien: D’Arcy Bloom [ISTP 7w8]

MBTI Type: ISTP D’Arcy is detached, analytical, and a big problem-solver, who doesn’t take much of anything personally. She has a friendly rivalry with a former friend/enemy from high school that she taunts and belittles, but then will turn around and spend time with her or part without any negative feelings about the mean things they said to each other (bitch, skank, ho, etc). She rarely feels…

Gladiator: Maximus [INTJ 1w9]

MBTI Type: INTJ Maximus is always thinking in symbolic terms, and opens the film by encouraging his men to think about how what they do in life echoes in eternity. His mind is forever leaping ahead in anticipation of what will come next, even when that is thinking with longing of joining his lost family in the afterlife. He thinks strategically by using his insight into the mind of his enemies…

Death Becomes Her: Helen Sharpe [INFJ 4w3]

MBTI Type: INFJ Helen is a master schemer, who turns up at Ernest’s house years later with a plan as to how to murder his wife and get away from it. She has thought it out so completely that she knows every step of how they will do it, and how they will fool the police and get away with it—and she is incredibly angry when Ernest “deviates from the plan” and they have to improvise (she shows up…

Ripley: Thomas Ripley [ISTP 9w8]

MBTI Type: ISTP Tom is very detached and clinical in how he deals with other people and his victims; he knows the rational thing to do is to get rid of the evidence and play a scene to his best advantage, but because of his inferior Fe, he is very awkward about doing this successfully. He at first is ripping people off by pretending to be from a collection agency and asking them to send him…

Death Becomes Her: Ernest Menville [ISFJ 6w7]

MBTI Type: ISFJ Ernest was a celebrated surgeon before his fall from grace; then he became an accomplished painter of dead bodies, celebrated for his extreme talent in knowing how to duplicate flesh tones. It just dawned on him that spray paint might work, and he’s meticulous about his job (fretting over getting Madeline’s color and texture just right). It’s his expertise in this matter that…

Gladiator: Commodus [ENFJ 4w3]

MBTI Type: ENFJ Commodus is open with his emotions and takes each slight by his father and every criticism of his character deeply to heart (“I had none of the virtues on your list!”). His bitter resentment at being unloved and disapproved of causes him to lash out against his father, to betray anyone who disagrees with him, and to try and control his sister (hoping to force her into loving…
