Of course there's still plenty of other characters in the show not on this chart.

Never seen it! It's more of a representation of the 16 types because making it required having a character for every type, but really accurate anyway. That's awesome.

I think Pinkie is probably an ENFP like me. I agree that the types are pretty open-ended and don't pigeonhole because everyone I've seen who is an ENFP (or probably one) is pretty different.

 

ENFPs I know (other than myself)

Pinkie Pie (MLP)

Cheryl (Konoiche - ok, it's my made-up series and she's kinda sorta based on me, so I guess that one makes since)

Jessa (Girls)

Lily (Black Swan)

Bright (Everwood)

Buddy (Elf)

Ron (Harry Potter)

Rapunzel (Tangled)

Simba (The Lion King)

 

Okay, so I realize not everyone knows all of those characters, but think how different Pinkie is from Ron Weasly! But they both fit the discription anyway.

[Night Shine 770]

I will continue the tradition of reviving this thread after months of inactivity by offering my types of the various MLP characters! I will list my types for each character below, and provide an excerpt from the TypeLogic page about that type for the Mane 6.

 

 

 

The Mane 6

 

Twilight Sparkle: INTJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how...

 

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake...

 

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality...

 

[M]any INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals,,,[t]o complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) 

 

 

 

Rainbow Dash: ESTP

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel "dead inside."

 

Gamesmanship is the calling card of the ESTP. Persons of this type have a natural drive to best the competition...[o]ddly enough, the ESTP seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat her at her own game. "If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure. [sh]e admires strength in [her]self and in others.

 

"Shock effect" is a favored technique of this type to get the attention of his audience. ESTPs love to be at center stage, demonstrating feats of wonder and daring.

 

 

Rarity: ESFJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.

 

All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.

 

ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.

 

Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive...[an] ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord...

 

As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a dangerous place, not to be trusted.

 

 

Fluttershy: INFP

As a rebuttal to the ISFP typing, I will point out aspects of TypeLogic's article that seem not to fit her. While TypeLogic is not infallible, I find it very convenient at expressing what I already know. Here is an excerpt from their article on ISFPs:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ISFPs are the first to hear the different drummer. Many eagerly plunge into new fashions, avant garde experiences, 'hip' trends--some even setting the trends...More in touch with the reality of their senses than their INFP counterparts, ISFPs live in the here and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run. (One ISFP friend has become nonambulatory within the past few years. He will still, on impulse, leave home in the middle of the night and go to Las Vegas or wherever, regardless of the difficulties of his physical condition...

 

Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may have great difficulty losing. This competitive nature, also seen in other SP types, sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a willingness to take risks...

 

ISFPs can and do perform admirably in the spotlight, but generally have little to say about the performance. For example, few ISFPs would be disc-jockeys, a field strongly represented by ES_Ps.

 

 

Some part of the "can and do perform admirably in the spotlight" as well as the general overtone of loving competition makes me think that sweet Flutters isn't an ISFP. Conversely, this excerpt will show why she is an INFP:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities...

 

INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates...

 

INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity...[t]heir extreme depth of feeling is often hidden, even from themselves, until circumstances evoke an impassioned response...

 

Of course, not all of life is rosy, and INFPs are not exempt from the same disappointments and frustrations common to humanity. As INTPs tend to have a sense of failed competence, INFPs struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection, e.g., performance of duty for the greater cause. An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil...[a]lthough the dark side must be reckoned with, the INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs.

 

 

Pinkie Pie: ESFP

For the record, I still am unsure about the whole S vs. N balance with Pinkie, but she seems like an SP thrill-seeker to me.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

"Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people.

 

SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating...

 

ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence.

 

Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question...

 

Introverted iNtuition...is least visible [of the ESFP functions]. As is the nature of the inferior (fourth) function, ESFP intuition lacks a sense of balance. This type seems most successful in deducing patterns and seeing connections only after a thorough examination of the facts (which process appears quite unorganized and haphazard to non-SPs). Although some ESFPs may develop such abilities, the mastery of logic, analysis and abstraction is usually difficult and wearying, and not very much fun.

 

 

Applejack: ESTJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESTJs thrive on order and continuity..[they] are joiners. They seek out like-minded companions in clubs, civic groups, churches and other service organizations. The need for belonging is woven into the fiber of SJs. The family likewise is a central focus for ESTJs, and attendance at such events as weddings, funerals and family reunions is obligatory.

 

Tradition is important to the ESTJ. Holidays, birthdays and other annual celebrations are remembered and observed often religiously by this type. The ESTJ is inclined to seek out h[er] roots, to trace the family heritage back to honored ancestors both for a sense of family respectability and for a sense of security and belonging.

 

Service, the tangible expression of responsibility, is another key focus for ESTJs. They love to provide and to receive good service. The ESTJ merchant who provides dependable service has done much to enhance her self image.

 

ESTJs have an acute sense for orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is "normal" and what isn't. ESTJ humor is frequently centered around something or someone being off center or behaving abnormally.

 

ESTJs promote the work ethic. Power, position and prestige should be worked for and earned. Laziness is rarely viewed with ambivalence nor benevolence by this type...

 

The ESTJ is outspoken, a person of principles, which are readily expressed. The ESTJ is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right even in the face of overwhelming odds. ESTJs are able to make the tough calls.

 

 

Spike: ISTP

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.

 

Like most SPs, ISTPs may have trouble with rote and abstract classroom learning, which tend not to be good measures of their actual intelligence. They tend, sometimes with good reason, to be highly skeptical of its practical value, and often gravitate towards classes in industrial arts; part-time vocational/ technical programs can be useful to even the college-bound ISTP. In terms of careers, mechanics and any of the skilled trades are traditional choices, and those ISTPs with strong numerical as well mechanical gifts tend to do extremely well in most areas of engineering. Working as paramedics or firefighters can fulfill the ISTP need to live on the edge; they are at their best in a crisis, where their natural disregard for rules and authority structures allows them to focus on and tackle the emergency at hand in the most effective way.

 

[introverted] Thinking, the dominant function, generally keeps its opinions to itself...Introverted thinkers focus their directives in on themselves, and would like nothing better than for others to do the same. One ISTP friend displays a poster of an orangutan with the caption, "If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you." Suffice it to say that ISTPs are by nature free spirits.

 

Auxiliary [Extraverted] Sensing provides Thinking with all manner of information about the physical world. ISTPs possess heightened sensory awareness. And as other SPs, ISTPs are energized by responding to their impulses. Sports appeal to many ISTPs for the sheer sensory experience.

This combination of dominant introverted thinking and auxiliary extraverted sensing results in no-nonsense realism.

 

 

Those are my Mane 6 and Spike types with explanations. I will be happy to provide explanations, quoted from TypeLogic or based on personal knowledge, for the following types if needed, but honestly that would take too long. I'll just list them here instead, and if you want to argue them, then I can explain.

[paradoxical 1,735]

If you look at animals on the same level as people, I think Flutters may fall out as an extrovert.  She's pretty mid range there.

 

Early Twily is more an i later is more na e.

[Whatevs 377]

What personality type do you think think the cast has? Doesn't have to be Mane6 but specifically focused on them.

 

Personally I can't decide if Rarity is an ESFJ or an ENFJ. She has many traits of both. 

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

The fandom's way ahead of you, this image has been circulating for a while:

 

[DormantAccount 308]

Hmm. Apparently I'm a Sweetie Belle. Of the CMC I do like her probably the best. She is the one that suggested seeking an adult during babs seed. I'm also only an e away from Cheerilee and I really enjoy her character as well.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Twilight is not an INTP. There's no way she's a P

 

I also question that Rainbow Dash is an ESTP. I would say ESFP

Especially in season 1, how could anybody think Twilight is an INTP!?

 

She's literally the most organized and prepared pony out there, so she would be a strong, strong J (maybe 100%)

[Swoony 196]

I 'm an introverted Pinkie Pie apparently.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,357]

According to that picture, I'm a Twilight, which I think fits me pretty well.

 

I noticed that Zecora's box says "percieving" although she's an INFJ

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I also wonder if Luna is an INFP. Sure she got pissed and tried to usurp the throne, but she's always come off as a thinking kind of person. Remember how she was questioning Celestia in The Crystal Empire about whether Twilight was ready? She might be a borderline F, but I think a case can be made the other way

[Odyssey 5,717]

Here's another one.

 

 

I'm an ISFP, so that obviously means I'm Sweetie Belle.

 

Given that the MLP Myer Briggs quizzes both have Rarity as ENFJ, you should go for that.

According to this box I'm also Twilight, but that makes no sense, since I procrastinate and don't study or really prepare for anything lol. Which I guess is why I'm so obsessed with criticizing that label for her

Oh good they fixed Twilight and Luna

 

But now they've screwed up Celestia :okiedokielokie:

 

Still disagree with Dash, who is clearly not a thinker (Dragonshy anyone? Or any episode where she charges into a situation without really thinking.)

Edited October 13, 2014 by LZRD WZRD

[speedyblupi 76]

I think that Luna's probably an INTJ, not an INFP.

 

This is because INFPs try to hide their conflicts with friends and siblings and are loyal to them, which Luna obviously did not do when she became Nightmare Moon.

 

Luna also has difficulties adapting to socialising and understanding people in the new society after coming back from being banished, something which INFPs are typically very good at, but INTJs are not (though a lot of people would find it hard to socialise if everyone thinks you're an omnicidal maniac, for obvious reasons).

 

The transformation into nightmare moon wouldn't require a feeling personality if Luna thought that she'd be better at ruling than Celestia (and INTJs are apparently good leaders). Plus, it's not just feeling types that feel jealousy or who get annoyed at unfair situations.

 

INTJs and INFPs are surprisingly similar though, so it is hard to tell.

 

I think this chart is more accurate:

Many of you are probably aware of the pony version of the MBTI, which links each of the 16 types to a character (which was an incredibly great idea). But how agreeable do we think these choices are?

 

Here's the link: http://cartoonoveranalyzations.com/2011/05/23/the-myers-briggs-type-indicator-for-ponies/

 

Firstly, in case you're curious, I'm an ENFP (according to this chart, a hyperactive pink pony made of sugar, who is not very well grounded in reality.)

 

Now for my opinions (and everything here is entirely my opinion): I agree on Big McIntosh, Zecora, Spike, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Applejack's placements. The others, I'm either unsure of or I flat out disagree.

 

Sweetie Belle comes across to me as something of a dreamer, with an abstractness that seems far more Intuition than Sensing. Introversion and Feeling I'm sure are correct. Judging or Perceiving - I'm not sure. Seeing as she's Rarity's sister, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and go with Judging. She's, in my book, INFJ or INFP.

 

I don't think of Celestia as a Judging type. She seems too chaotic and seems to value certain degrees of disorder (Griffon the Brush Off, A Bird in the Hoof, The Cutie Mark Chronicles in Twilight's flashback and most notably, The Best Night Ever.) In fact, is Celestia even a Thinking type? A part of me reckons she favours Feeling (namely her wish to watch others grow around her), but I'm not sure. I will say that she's INFP or INTP.

 

Luna, I think INFP is right, but I don't have the evidence to cement this belief. She's too quiet to be an Extrovert. I couldn't imagine a Sensing type being in charge of dreams. Her transformation to Nightmare Moon, and the reasons behind it to me indicates a strong Feeling preference. Judging or Perceiving, I am really not sure. Like Sweetie Belle, she's either INFJ or INFP.

 

Twilight Sparkle is not a Perceiving type. She thinks like a computer, with her very organized and structured lifestyle, planning things up to weeks in advance. She's not the type who likes surprises. The rest of her functions seem correct. I'm vehement that she's an INTJ.

 

Is Scootaloo a Feeling type? I'm not sure. ESxP seems right, but generally Scootaloo seems to be too much of a doer and too practical to be a Feeling type. She's to the Cutie Mark Crusaders what Rainbow Dash is to the Mane 6, so ESTP is the obvious type, and the one that I believe fits her best.

 

Apple Bloom's a tricky one. Intuition and Perceiving definitely seem right (she often plays the role of annoyingly inquisitive child, especially in Season 1). The other functions, I could go 50-50 on. ENTP is one of four types I could see Apple Bloom as, the others being INTP, INFP and ENFP.

 

Cheerilee? I haven't got a clue. The character never interested me much, and as such I've never been bothered to think about her to any great lengths.

 

Rarity has a well developed Intuitive side (Secret of My Excess, with her fashion theory she discussed with Twilight comes to mind). In stark contrast, her cutie mark sums up her love for physical beauty. As well as that, she loves her weekly get together at the Spa. Both of these traits seem very Sensing oriented to me, and I believe it's her preference. ESFJ.

 

I do not think of Trixie as a Judging type. She's a travelling performer, which is the kind of career that I could not picture a Judging type undertaking (there's little to no sense of structure). Extroversion and Thinking are definitely right, and seeing that she's a magician she probably is fairly intuitive. ENTP is my belief.

 

On another note, I shall order the Mane 6 and Spike from most extreme on one end to most extreme on the other. The middle ellipsis separates the two sides.

 

Extroversion...Pinkie, Rarity, RD, AJ...Spike, Twilight, FS...Introversion

Intuition...Twilight, Pinkie...Rarity, Spike, AJ, FS, RD...Sensing

Feeling...FS, Pinkie, Rarity...AJ, RD, Spike, Twilight...Thinking

Perceiving...Pinkie, RD, Spike, FS...AJ, Rarity/Twilight...Judging

 

 

Apparently I am Twilight Sparkle. Dang, I was hoping for sweetie bell lol. 

[Gernia 691]

Well, I'm an INTJ, so I'm either Twilight, Celestia, or Luna. I'm in good company.

But now they've screwed up Celestia :okiedokielokie:

 

Still disagree with Dash, who is clearly not a thinker (Dragonshy anyone? Or any episode where she charges into a situation without really thinking.)

I don't think they've screwed up celestia. The INFJ type matches up with the Counselor role variant, which matches Celestia pretty much perfectly.

 

"Counselors are introspective, cooperative, directive, and attentive. They have a strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others. Counselors are gratified by helping others to develop and reach their potential.

Counselors often communicate in a personalized manner. They tend to be positive and kind when dealing with others. Counselors are good listeners and can sometimes detect a person's emotions or intentions even before the individual is aware of them. This ability to take in the emotional experiences of others, however, can lead Counselors to be hurt easily.

Counselors usually have intricate personalities and rich inner lives. They tend to understand complex issues and individuals. They are generally private people who keep their innermost thoughts and emotional reactions to themselves. This quality can make them difficult to get to know.

Counselors value harmony, which they work to maintain at home and at work. They may lose confidence, become unhappy, and even become physically ill if subjected to a hostile environment. Counselors may be crushed by too much criticism, though they may not express their feelings to others."

 

Her enthusiasm for Twilight to socialise more and her openness and leadership abilities indicate that she might be more likely to be an ENFJ (Teacher, which is a pretty good description of what she does), but she's definitely not an INTJ.

[Whatevs 377]

I think Rarity is ENFJ. ESFJ is very close but the tiebreaker round is that Intuiting makes more sense than sensing.

 

Sensing is very concrete, in the now and concerned with the actual and factual.

Intuiting is more about seeing patterns and possibilities.

And being insightful into others is Rarity intuiting.

 

And I think it fits more. ENFJs are:

 

Concerned with bringing out the best in others. Sometimes neglecting themselves. Suited for Success check.

Strong social skills. Like being around people. Sweet & elite check.

Prone to dark thoughts when alone. Nightmare Rarity check.

Self reflective when they see a problem visited on others. Her readiness to identify herself as needing fixing, usually correctly, makes this check.

Does not expose herself or express what she thinks if she is worried it may hurt others. Suited, Green, S&E check.

Fosters harmony through shared values. Manehattan check.

Needs close personal relationships and will do a lot to keep them working. Romantic side check. Willingness to hurt her own standing for friends. Check.

Tendency to be fussy. CHECK.

Likes being center of attention but still uses it to help others. Becoming Popular and Generosity check.

Self confident, bright and energetic. Check.

Feels guilty and worried when out of place? Check

Can rush to judgment based on values if not understanding the situation? Check

Charming, warm and gracious? Check.

Ability to see potential and growth in others and likes to bring that out? Suited, Green, Filli vanilli check

Disdain for impersonal reasoning? check.

Power to make others do what she wants, but generally unselfish when she does it. Check.

 

Generally straightforward and able to clearly express her values and opinions until it comes into conflict with her desire to help others, in which case she takes the option which she thinks best allows her to serve others? Taking on a chameleon like attitude to avoid exposing too much of herself? Suited, S&E, and NMR check.

[BuzzBuzzTheBee 14]

So I'm zecora? Yeah, that sounds right.

[PinkieAwesome 65]

Nice

Im either twilight, luna or celestia

[Aurora Storm 83]

Contradiction what I see most people typing them as, I see Twilight as a ISTJ and Maude as INTJ actually.

If you look at the cognitive functions, ISTJ and ENFP (which I type Pinkie as) are in opposite  order (Ne, Fi, Te, Si for Pinkie and Si, Te, Fi, Ne) for Twilight. Twilight and Pinkie are opposites to me more than Maude and Pinkie, but they have similar traits too. Pinkie's very organized when it comes to her specific interests (friends/party planning) and Twilight can be random and jump to various tangents when under greats amount of stress.

 

Maude and Pinkie as INTJ and ENFP respectively make sense because even though at a glance they seemingly have nothing in common, they respect and understand each other more than Pinkie's friends seem to.  INTJ and ENFP are supposedly a very compatible combination.

 

Also, INTJ's are stereotypically deadpan and can be described as robotic. Maude is that way far more than Twilight.  ISTJs are known for being hard workers and obsessed with organization and schedules.  Definitely Twilight. Both types can be academic, and Maude is definitely academic an knowledgeable about her passion for rocks.

 

I feel like I could explain this better, but it's late and I need to go to bed. Maybe I'll expound on this later.

Yes, the pony personality types..what are they? If you have no clue what I am talking about, please, please, go look up MBTI Personality Types. It will save me a lot of time and it is much simpler if you know what you are even talking about, before you post. Now, onto the purpose of this thread.

 

You're probably wondering, "Where is she going with this?" Well, maybe you have been on a forum and seen these types of threads before..maybe not. Either way, we will still do this. ^^

I am basically making guesses on the Personality Type for each pony and placing it beside each pony's name. Some are blank due to not knowing or I am unsure of what personality type they have.

 

Pinkie Pie - ENFP

Rarity - [?]

Rainbow Dash - ENTP

AppleJack - ENFP

Fluttershy - ISFP

Twilight Sparkle - INTJ

 

Discuss, also. Do you agree or disagree with the listed personality types? If you have ideas for Rarity, AppleJack or Twilight Sparkle's personality type, please let me know and I might add it. =D

And for fun, my personality type is ENTP. What's yours?

Expand  

Pinkie Pie definitely a ENFP

Rarity ENFJ or ESFJ

Rainbow Dash definitely a ESTP

Applejack ESTJ or ENTJ, 

Fluttershy definitely ISFJ

Twilight Sparkle definitely INTJ 

I’m a INFP

I will continue the tradition of reviving this thread after months of inactivity by offering my types of the various MLP characters! I will list my types for each character below, and provide an excerpt from the TypeLogic page about that type for the Mane 6.

 

 

 

The Mane 6

 

Twilight Sparkle: INTJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how...

 

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake...

 

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality...

 

[M]any INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals,,,[t]o complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) 

 

 

 

Rainbow Dash: ESTP

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel "dead inside."

 

Gamesmanship is the calling card of the ESTP. Persons of this type have a natural drive to best the competition...[o]ddly enough, the ESTP seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat her at her own game. "If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure. [sh]e admires strength in [her]self and in others.

 

"Shock effect" is a favored technique of this type to get the attention of his audience. ESTPs love to be at center stage, demonstrating feats of wonder and daring.

 

 

Rarity: ESFJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESFJs are generous entertainers. They enjoy and joyfully observe traditions and are liberal in giving, especially where custom prescribes.

 

All else being equal, ESFJs enjoy being in charge. They see problems clearly and delegate easily, work hard and play with zest. ESFJs, as do most SJs, bear strong allegiance to rights of seniority. They willingly provide service (which embodies life's meaning) and expect the same from others.

 

ESFJs are easily wounded. And when wounded, their emotions will not be contained. They by nature "wear their hearts on their sleeves," often exuding warmth and bonhomie, but not infrequently boiling over with the vexation of their souls. Some ESFJs channel these vibrant emotions into moving dramatic performances on stage and screen.

 

Strong, contradictory forces consume the ESFJ. Their sense of right and wrong wrestles with an overwhelming rescuing, 'mothering' drive...[an] ESFJ at odds with self is a remarkable sight. When a decision must be made, especially one involving the risk of conflict (abhorrent to ESFJs), there ensues an in-house wrestling match between the aforementioned black-and-white Values and the Nemesis of Discord...

 

As caretakers, ESFJs sense danger all around--germs within, the elements without, unscrupulous malefactors, insidious character flaws. The world is a dangerous place, not to be trusted.

 

 

Fluttershy: INFP

As a rebuttal to the ISFP typing, I will point out aspects of TypeLogic's article that seem not to fit her. While TypeLogic is not infallible, I find it very convenient at expressing what I already know. Here is an excerpt from their article on ISFPs:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ISFPs are the first to hear the different drummer. Many eagerly plunge into new fashions, avant garde experiences, 'hip' trends--some even setting the trends...More in touch with the reality of their senses than their INFP counterparts, ISFPs live in the here and now. Their impulses yearn to be free, and are often loosed when others least expect it. The ISFP who continually represses these impulses feels 'dead inside' and may eventually cut and run. (One ISFP friend has become nonambulatory within the past few years. He will still, on impulse, leave home in the middle of the night and go to Las Vegas or wherever, regardless of the difficulties of his physical condition...

 

Some ISFP males are fiercely competitive, especially in sport or table games, and may have great difficulty losing. This competitive nature, also seen in other SP types, sometimes fosters 'lucky,' 'gut' feelings and a willingness to take risks...

 

ISFPs can and do perform admirably in the spotlight, but generally have little to say about the performance. For example, few ISFPs would be disc-jockeys, a field strongly represented by ES_Ps.

 

 

Some part of the "can and do perform admirably in the spotlight" as well as the general overtone of loving competition makes me think that sweet Flutters isn't an ISFP. Conversely, this excerpt will show why she is an INFP:

INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glass world where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities...

 

INFP children often exhibit this in a 'Calvin and Hobbes' fashion, switching from reality to fantasy and back again. With few exceptions, it is the NF child who readily develops imaginary playmates...

 

INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP is wont to have pity...[t]heir extreme depth of feeling is often hidden, even from themselves, until circumstances evoke an impassioned response...

 

Of course, not all of life is rosy, and INFPs are not exempt from the same disappointments and frustrations common to humanity. As INTPs tend to have a sense of failed competence, INFPs struggle with the issue of their own ethical perfection, e.g., performance of duty for the greater cause. An INFP friend describes the inner conflict as not good versus bad, but on a grand scale, Good vs. Evil...[a]lthough the dark side must be reckoned with, the INFP believes that good ultimately triumphs.

 

 

Pinkie Pie: ESFP

For the record, I still am unsure about the whole S vs. N balance with Pinkie, but she seems like an SP thrill-seeker to me.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

"Where's the party?" ESFPs love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. The spontaneous, impulsive nature of this type is almost always entertaining. And ESFPs love to entertain -- on stage, at work, and/or at home. Social gatherings are an energy boost to these "people" people.

 

SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating...

 

ESFPs love to talk to people about people. Some of the most colorful storytellers are ESFPs. Their down-to-earth, often homespun wit reflects a mischievous benevolence.

 

Almost every ESFP loves to talk. Some can be identified by the twenty minute conversation required to ask or answer a simple factual question...

 

Introverted iNtuition...is least visible [of the ESFP functions]. As is the nature of the inferior (fourth) function, ESFP intuition lacks a sense of balance. This type seems most successful in deducing patterns and seeing connections only after a thorough examination of the facts (which process appears quite unorganized and haphazard to non-SPs). Although some ESFPs may develop such abilities, the mastery of logic, analysis and abstraction is usually difficult and wearying, and not very much fun.

 

 

Applejack: ESTJ

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ESTJs thrive on order and continuity..[they] are joiners. They seek out like-minded companions in clubs, civic groups, churches and other service organizations. The need for belonging is woven into the fiber of SJs. The family likewise is a central focus for ESTJs, and attendance at such events as weddings, funerals and family reunions is obligatory.

 

Tradition is important to the ESTJ. Holidays, birthdays and other annual celebrations are remembered and observed often religiously by this type. The ESTJ is inclined to seek out h[er] roots, to trace the family heritage back to honored ancestors both for a sense of family respectability and for a sense of security and belonging.

 

Service, the tangible expression of responsibility, is another key focus for ESTJs. They love to provide and to receive good service. The ESTJ merchant who provides dependable service has done much to enhance her self image.

 

ESTJs have an acute sense for orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is "normal" and what isn't. ESTJ humor is frequently centered around something or someone being off center or behaving abnormally.

 

ESTJs promote the work ethic. Power, position and prestige should be worked for and earned. Laziness is rarely viewed with ambivalence nor benevolence by this type...

 

The ESTJ is outspoken, a person of principles, which are readily expressed. The ESTJ is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right even in the face of overwhelming odds. ESTJs are able to make the tough calls.

 

 

Spike: ISTP

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

ISTPs are masters of the one-liner, often showing flashes of humor in the most tense situations; this can result in their being seen as thick-skinned or tasteless.

 

Like most SPs, ISTPs may have trouble with rote and abstract classroom learning, which tend not to be good measures of their actual intelligence. They tend, sometimes with good reason, to be highly skeptical of its practical value, and often gravitate towards classes in industrial arts; part-time vocational/ technical programs can be useful to even the college-bound ISTP. In terms of careers, mechanics and any of the skilled trades are traditional choices, and those ISTPs with strong numerical as well mechanical gifts tend to do extremely well in most areas of engineering. Working as paramedics or firefighters can fulfill the ISTP need to live on the edge; they are at their best in a crisis, where their natural disregard for rules and authority structures allows them to focus on and tackle the emergency at hand in the most effective way.

 

[introverted] Thinking, the dominant function, generally keeps its opinions to itself...Introverted thinkers focus their directives in on themselves, and would like nothing better than for others to do the same. One ISTP friend displays a poster of an orangutan with the caption, "If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you." Suffice it to say that ISTPs are by nature free spirits.

 

Auxiliary [Extraverted] Sensing provides Thinking with all manner of information about the physical world. ISTPs possess heightened sensory awareness. And as other SPs, ISTPs are energized by responding to their impulses. Sports appeal to many ISTPs for the sheer sensory experience.

This combination of dominant introverted thinking and auxiliary extraverted sensing results in no-nonsense realism.

 

 

Those are my Mane 6 and Spike types with explanations. I will be happy to provide explanations, quoted from TypeLogic or based on personal knowledge, for the following types if needed, but honestly that would take too long. I'll just list them here instead, and if you want to argue them, then I can explain.

While I feel like that Fluttershy could be a INFP i feel like she more of an S because here the the thing with N Vs S. When N see something or hear something they can recall a memory where S are like that is a scarf. Let me give you an example. Two people see an apple pie and their asked to tell what it is. The S is going to say its an apple pie, while a N is going to be like this reminds me off a time where my grandmother made apple pie and it smelled really good.
