Understanding Your Myers Briggs Personality Test Results

Fashion of the Myers-Briggs NT

by Tracey MacCorquodale on January 1, 2011

ENTJ The Polished Leader

Sigourney Weaver/Jim Carrey

If any MBTI persona invented business attire, it was an ENTJ.

Jim Carrey

The ENTJ loves anything that asserts their high maintenance, vanity and plans for world domination.

This usually includes a fair amount of tailoring and anything with a pricey designer label. ENTJs don’t just build a wardrobe; they plot one.

Even the purchase of jeans are a very serious matter for ENTJs, as they spend 90% of their free time at the gym and need the best boot-cut to show their toned Gluteus Maximus.

It is likely that when you see a well dressed ENTJ you will feel fear and a sense of admiration concurrently, which is exactly what they had intended (INTJs have similar agendas).

INTJ The Minimalist

Lance Armstrong/Michelle Obama

INTJs have a great understanding of architecture in fashion. They have unerring eyes for the fit and proportion a garment of clothing should have and insist on looking “correct”.

Michelle Obama

If it is not flattering, it is not an investment, and if it is not an investment, it makes no sense to purchase and will be disregarded on the clothing rack; also they do not compromise either with their choice in retailers or the quality of their fabrics.

INTJs enjoy simplicity and therefore disregard most accessories and frivolities (as robots they are also often confused by them).

Lance Armstrong

The end result is a rather refined yet intriguing style that adds to their quiet confidence and allure.

In their downtime the INTJ’s geekier persona takes precedence and they are often found in chucks, khakis, and other traditionally geeky apparel.

INTP The Eccentric

Mary-Kate Olsen/Paul Walker

Some INTPs manage to dress remarkably well considering how oblivious they are to the world they live in. Being think-outside-the-box types, INTPs

Paul Walker

usually dress with a lot of individuality and style, if they remember to clothe themselves at all. As their environment rarely penetrates their extensive wavelengths of thought, it is not surprising that INTPs can often go days without changing their clothes and are often mistaken for hobos upon emerging from their basements.

Olsen Twins

Luckily many INTPs have loved ones that can remind them when to rotate shirts and they manage to clean up quite nicely when required.

ENTP The Aloof

Kirsten Dunst/Guy Ritchie

Kirsten Dunst

ENTPs enjoy clothing for the purposes of manipulating people’s perspectives of themselves, luring the opposite sex, and showing how revolutionary they consider themselves to be (not caring about the latest trends is considered an act of rebellion amongst ENTPs).

Guy Ritchie

Most of the time, however, ENTPs see no other purpose in clothing aside from providing bodily warmth, which makes utility their priority in clothing selection.

For this reason most ENTP females are tomboys and most ENTP males are dressed by their wives.

Fun fact: ENTPs love pockets.

NF Idealists: Fashion & What They Wear

by Tracey MacCorquodale on October 4, 2010

INFJ The Strange Mystery

The INFJ’s style embodies their cryptic, unique and strange personalities. Confident INFJs who take an interest in fashion will develop a characteristic signature style that reflects the originality that lurks beneath their quiet surfaces. INFJs who have not yet explored their personal style will have a more sombre wardrobe dominated by neutrals and the occasional strange accessory with personal significance, such as rosary necklace. More than other types, INFJs love costume parties where they can go into character.

INFP The Morbid and Quirky

The INFP is constantly starring in their own epic tragedy so they often feel most like themselves in black, the color of mourning. Being creative and imaginative creatures, INFPs can assemble very interesting and romantic combinations, but usually after a large internal struggle due to their chronic indecision. Often in a hyper-critical perfectionist fit they will disregard their unique outfits for something safe and routine. As with most of their lives, getting dressed is an emotional thing rather than a ritual.

Celeb Style: Jared Leto, Winona Ryder

ENFP The Free Spirit

ENFPs have no qualms attracting all sorts of attention to themselves even if just to give others a glimpse at what they can’t have. With a keen interest in creative expression and a flair for the dramatic, ENFPs will try out any look. Bold colors, lots of skin, avante-guard trends, cross gender dressing; nothing is off-limits (especially if you tell them it’s off limits).  Even when forced into business casual an ENFP will find a way to add an eccentric twist to their look that links to one of their idyllic life philosophies.

Celeb Style: Drew Barrymore, Tim Burton

ENFJ The Social Chameleon

ENFJs take a lot of pride in their appearance and make damn sure they look good; they have places to go, things to do, and people to please! With a social agenda that includes glamorous events, formal gatherings, and spiritual dealings, ENFJs need a varied wardrobe to meet their many social needs. Unless it’s an accessory, an ENFJ is unlikely to wear bold colors or wild prints due to their tendency to mesh with their surroundings. Although ENFJs may not be noticed for having a unique or loud wardrobe, they receive much attention for their confidence and sex appeal (fitted clothing and glimpses of flesh are not foreign to ENFJs).

ENFJ Celeb Style: George Clooney, Reese Witherspoon

ISFP

by Amanda on January 3, 2010

The ISFP: The Composer, The Artist

The ISFP is a compassionate type. They care about those suffering, and many find comfort in caring for animals. The ISFP is a very dynamic individual who also seeks the comforts of life.

The ISFP is often interested in communicating through artwork. They may enjoy conversation but prefer other forms of communication. As an introvert the ISFP seeks personal space and time, and shows grace in doing so. They have an extraordinary endurance to focus for lengthy periods of time on projects. The ISFP is still impulsive, as all SPs, but when doing something they love their focus is amazing. [Read More…]

ESTP

by Amanda on January 2, 2010

ESTP: The Doer, The Promoter

The ESTP lives in the here-and-now just as much as the ESFP. ESTPs have a powerful presence. They are “people People” and are usually popular wherever they go. The ESTP is straightforward and direct in communication. ESTPs “get the party started.” They react quickly to changes in their environment, whether those changes be in the people around the ESTP or in objects or events.

ESTPs are keen to style of dress and appearance overall. They quickly notice anything available to the 5 senses. The ESTP can be very impulsive, as they tend to be adventurous and like change but become bored easily when things stay the same.

ESTPs love to be on top of their game. They typically seek in all situations to be in charge. Other types tend to see the ESTPs behavior as communicating they wish all others to be passive. However, interestingly the ESTP very much respects  anyone who can beat the ESTP at their own game, or “one up.” ESTPs understand the value of “shock” and use shock value to throw off opponents (generally anyone in their vicinity).

ESTPs make life fun for others. Deep down they care for people and see to it that others are enjoying themselves. However, the ESTP does not want anyone to see this and most often adopts a serious, even calloused or jaded veneer.

The ESTP seeks fine clothing, enjoyable dining experiences… you name it, the finer things in life the ESTP seeks. ESTPs find flexibility to be very important and are willing to rearrange their lives to make their lives more flexible.

Some may find the ESTP intimidating, even threatening; this does not necessarily bother the ESTP. They may rather like such a reaction, and seek it. However those few lucky enough to really get to know the ESTP will find they are brilliantly fun and exciting people, often with many hidden talents just waiting to be unearthed.
