@@welcometothericefield6605 the 16 personalities as teacher or how would they be as a teacher , Now that's intresting Or 16 personalities dealing with Conflict ?
I think he's extroverted though so he would likely be an ENFP. He's desperate for any kind of companionship and is the first to try to get Perry the Platypus to think about being his friend.
I think I speak for all INFPs when I say that, villiany would be an all-or-nothing choice. It would have to be the literal last resort after losing everything that we hold dear.
That actually reminded me of that one INFP character who was bullied at school, didn't have a father, but had a mother with bad habits. I guess he also hated people and disagreed with the opinion of many. So, when his mother died, he lost the last thing he had.
Yeah, I think it would be The Mission. Like it would be the thing that mattered most, equated to whomever we loved. Like getting vengeance for the one we love is The Only Thing That Matters. Damn us to hell. Hahahha xD
Touch my family and you're toast. Nuked . Some things I can forgive. Others, you get the business end of my sour. Think John Wick. You really don't want it.
As an INFP yeah, I'd probably become a villian purely out of one thing: Spite. If someone took someone, something, or some place I truly and wholely loved away from me permanently my wraith would be pretty terrible. There's an old proverb, "it takes a village to raise a child, but the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." That is the INFP villian. Hurt an INFP at your own risk.
Damn that proverb really missed the opportunity for: “it takes a village to raise a child, but that child who is not embraced will raze the village to feel it’s warmth.
Frank mentioned ENTP Joker (Dark Knight), who I can empathize with as a fellow agent of chaos, but there's also INFP Joker (Arthur Fleck), who basically fits your description of a deeply emotionally wounded and spiteful, hateful person. The INFP villain always seems to be a good person at first that 'snaps'. "What do you get, when you cross a mentally ill loner, with a SOCIETY, THAT ABANDONED HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH?! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET! YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!!!"
Even worse: an INTJ as the mastermind, with an INFJ mentor, an ENTJ grand ruler taking advice from the INTJ, with an ENFJ second in command for show. They hired all ESTJ to command, and an ISTJ army to follow all rules, and well paid ISTPs to get everything done. They also have a brainwashed following of ESFJs. Let’s hope and ENTP or INTP doesn’t rebel, or even worse, a good ENTJ or ENFJ starts a revolution.
@@mage3690 that was James Mattis who only enlisted in 1969 though, last time he was a former Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration (yes, as an ISTJ I had to fact check this)
As an INFJ, the INFJ villain you described is one of my favorite types of villain. The manipulative fox that corrupts the naive lamb, earning their trust and using it to do their evil bidding.
As an INFJ, deep down I actually hated them. Because from a young age I knew what I can do to others by being manipulative. I saw it as being weak to get others to do your bidding instead of doing it yourself. So, I only use my skills to push people to do what they want to do, if I see those goals as alright that is. I mean one of the best logics to follow as an INFJ is to think, "Don't do something to others you won't like being done to yourself." But... I also try to follow the principle of "An eye for an eye." So, I might do something evil similar to the evil you have done to me, at least I try to, but most of the times fail to do anything about it by being too considerate...
Yes! As a little girl, my favorite Disney characters were the bad ones. Ursula especially. I think villains make for much more complex and interesting characters.
You know, as an INTJ I only recently realized an embarrassing truth. My INTP sister revealed it to me. We were talking about how we respond to being wrong about something, and it was then that she told me, "You laugh maniacally.". That's of course only when it's an idea I'm really married to. If not, I just accept I'm wrong or move the goal post if I'm convinced that I'm wrong but unsure if the other person is right. A day later I came to her with another realization, "I monologue too, don't I?" "Yep, all the time.". And for years I thought that kind of villain was so over the top and unrealistic lol. Life is strange. The best explanation I can give is that if someone disproves an idea that I've been cherishing and building on for years, it's like they decapitated my child and stuck their head on a pike in front of me. I WILL laugh insanely, and figuratively detonate the self destruct device to take everyone with me. But only after a crazy monologue. For my INTP sister though, she usually never admits to being wrong. What happens is that I or others will try to prove her wrong, and she'll stubbornly defend a crazy idea. Then maybe a day, a week, a month, or years later she'll casually say something that makes you realize she's totally changed her stance to what everyone else told her was the truth. It comes down to having life experiences for herself that prove the knowledge gained. Everyone can use statistics to prove opposing points, so raw data often comes with bias. That's what we realized was the issue.
Shit! I just realised I monologue all the time looking like a crazy person. It's always happen when I feel like the world has wronged me or a certain community. I wish if I only had the energy to execute all those plans or publish those monologues online. But Cancel Culture is gonna take me out in a instant so not worth it. Back to the BatCave!
In fiction, I love my villains and you describing yourself that way is exactly one of the villain origin stories that butter my bread. As an INFJ, I've seen a lot where people call my personality type the Hitler Jesus and a family member of mine told my mom that if nurtured well, this child will either go on to become the greatest thing that happened to this world or the worst. And I was a freakin toddler at the time. But honestly when I think about, yeah, I can see how I can go Hitler mode especially in this day and age where everybody and everything is a minefield; one wrong step and BOOM! you're cancelled. So if my years of gathering unbiased information from multiple diverse sources and individuals is not "sensible" or sit right with you after listening to your concerns and problems gently, patiently for sooo long, boy I will shove "sense" into you whether you like it or not. And everybody who dares to be the same the that individual. I may be known as a good listener and I know I am patient as Jesus but if people stubbornly refuse to see reason because they're feelings are more important, I lose my patience and go dictator mode.
@@manavnayyar I've published a ton of monologues online without being cancelled. When I do finally get cancelled I have books to read and podcasts to listen to...INTP
As an INTP, I'm very open to being proven wrong, but on the occasion it happens, I'll just quietly back down from my argument as opposed to outwardly admitting it. Also the monologues and maniacal laughs do show up when I'm in the mood. I suspect it's a shadow type thing since exhaustion and stress bring it out more than anything else.
I’ve heard it said that Hitler was an INFJ, and honestly it makes a lot of sense. As an INTJ, I’m used to being pegged as the villain type in the MBTI community. But I was almost offended when I first heard about Hitler as an INFJ because INTJs are supposedly cold, arrogant, aloof, but INFJs are so empathetic, so wise, so attuned to the desires of others … oh wait
Exactly, you get it now. If we are so empathetic, wise and attuned to the desires of others that means we have the potential to be the exact opposite. Especially because we can know anything about people, what they love, what they hate, their strengths and weaknesses and use it against them. Destroy what you love the most to deeply hurt you to your core identity. It also allows to manipulate people to lead them to do everything you want to accomplish your vision. That means you can also indirectly have people' skills at your disposal and thus ultimate power. They can even think they're acting for the greater good and being profoundly wrong but they'll think what they do is right to the end so no compassion will be allowed. Hitler is the best example of the worst an INFJ villain can do, finding effective ways to destroy someone's mind entirely or do that on a larger scale. Make the entire world experience the deepest emotional pain, tortures and sufferings. The greatest INFJ villain wants to destroy humanity itself as a all. That's why honestly even if INTJs are the classical mastermind villain, INFJs make better villains and the scariests in my opinion cause they can be so harmful and directly attack humanity and the human mind itself.
@@kyurei4478 thanks for the interesting and thoughtful reply. It’s ironic to me that very mature INTJs can turn out to be extremely self-sacrificial and will use their mastermind capabilities to create a plan that puts them in danger so that many people will be safe. They can also have the ability to empathize with those everyone else thinks is too difficult or too evil to empathize with (i.e. criminal/villain minds) The thing is, these kinds of INTJs often end up going unnoticed behind the scenes or will be misrepresented. They’re really underrepresented in literature and and even more so in film, but they’re the kind of hero I want to be as an INTJ. On the other hand, INFJs can, as discussed, use the qualities Western culture celebrates so much and turn them into evil. INFJ villains really are the kind that fly under the radar and look like heroes. As amazing as INFJs are (my father, a counselor, is one), we cannot forget that they have potential for evil like everyone else. INTJs, as easy as it is to assume they are evil, can be good in ways that people are afraid to emulate because it is so selfless. Every type has the potential for great evil or great good.
@@mayleespann4552 Thank you for your answer, very interesting insight and good points as well. For sure it's ironic yes. But it makes perfect sense when you think about it, when you mature you start learning to use the parts of you you're the least comfortable with. So as you said, INTJs who can tend to be more self-centered and self-interested from the start will start acting in a more considerate and selfless way and put themselves into danger for others. That also means that in the same way, mature INFJs who where already selfless, interested in satisfying others, ready to sacrifice themselves for the community will start being more self-centered and more self-interested and stop empathizing so much to give more attention to themselves. It's like switching basically, you learn what the other already has. That's why I think the INFJ x INTJ relationships are so crucial in life. Maybe any INFJ and INTJ should have their own INTJ and INFJ to mature very fast because they get each other since they're so similar but also offer a brand new perspective at the same time. I guess with maturity though these INTJs will learn how not to be misinterpreted anymore and to communicate their ideas accordingly to their real intentions. You're right this kind of INTJ characters are rarely portrayed. Maybe because it's too far from the stereotype and it's not every writer who will go that deep into writing. Also maybe because the less stereotypical a character is, the less their core identity is recognizable. You might even not get this character is actually an INTJ because he's so mature. That's a challenge. How to write a nuanced character and keep it recognizable ? You'll probably need few moments where this character will still be a bit immature or will take decisions which satisfy logic more. That really makes me happy to hear that's the kind of person an INTJ wants to be cause as an INFJ that's already what I typically believe in. And yes, as you say INFJs really are the kind of villain that flies under the radar because they're so discreet in the first place and normally know how to appear this way or the way they want to people. Even if that's not inherently bad qualities, that's qualities that if used with the most malicious intents can become very problematic. The ironic thing is INFJs are conscious of this themselves and are actually afraid people will find it creepy and won't accept them because of these qualities they possess so they'll precisely tend to hide it from people. The tragic thing is they sincerely have the best intentions for others but their qualities turned bad can do so much harm. That's why INFJs always want to avoid using their dark side at all cost because they're so afraid of it themselves and don't want to unleash it. So yes, don't forget they have the potential for evil like anybody but don't reject them for that. You might even provoke evil by doing so. Just respect them for what they are and believe in their genuine want to help humanity. It takes a lot to get some form of evil from some types, and this is one of them thankfully. People usually wondered why I was so focused on being a good person and why I had such high standards I didn't deviate from when I was young but it's precisely for these reasons. I can't really allow myself not to be considerate of others because if I start acting for myself only without caring at all, I can be so dangerous. NEVER ask an INFJ to acknowledge their dark side more, they should always repress it, at all costs. Other types of people can if they want because they're not so insightful and don't represent such a threat so they can't really make that much harm, INFJs can. My opinion is that introverted intuition (Ni) is a function with such a destructive potential. It's no coincidence if INTJs and INFJs make great villains. The worst is that's the function we understand the least. It's true, same goes for INFJs actually when they're in their natural state and healthy, others usually don't want to go as far because such level of selflessness can intimidate people so they're constantly misunderstood and that's how they are on a daily basis. But INTJs are capable of showing the same attitude when people see through the bluntness and they start to be more comprehensive. I have a personal theory that people with low T functions and high feeling functions are actually more dangerous than more thinker people who naturally have low feeling functions when they're unhealthy because feelers will shut down their emotions and use their thinker side in a evil way when I think thinker people will show their emotional side more and I think the first one can be more dangerous overall for society than the second one. So you should be more careful not permitting feelers to be unhealthy versus thinker but that's just how I see it.
When an INFP gets villainous, they get creative and obsessive, but the revenge is usually not direct. They might try to affirm themselves through art, passive-aggression, stalking/spying, or blackmail. Like INTJs, they might sit in the shadows and come up with a grand scheme, but the scheme would be more personal and solo…like a song or book that disses someone or exposes their worst secrets.
Me reading the comment since I am an INFP: this is me in one comment. The fact a UA-camr I just respect knows me better than my family is unbelievable🤯🤯🤯

The worst thing is, logic, I feel, can be explained to and convinced but emotions are intense and cannot be convinced or debated against. We INFPs tend to feel emotions on a( not to be too philosophical) spiritual and intimate level that is tremendously high. As an INFP, not only do I remember things others do, I remember them for myself too. So to say, as a villain, INFPs can be worst and we often become these villains for ourselves. For once, we can supress our overwhelming emotions for someone and forgive them but if we do that to ourselves, our life becomes hell(worse than that). P.S- I'm sorry you had to read such a long thing but if you did, ILY so much and thank you so much for validating my stupid comment.
As an INFJ, I understand you so well (mind the irony, please). I can be patient with emotional reasoning but if that doesn't end with the person figuring out or realising the logic behind their emotional reasoning after soooooo long (it has taken weeks IRL) I will lose my patience and start to go Hitler mode starting with passive aggressive behaviour.
the INFP one is so accurate and as an INFP I love it! I also think this sentence fits kinda well with the type of villain an INFP is: "Evil queens are the princesses that weren't rescued from their towers"
List of ENTJ villains in anime Madara Uchiha - Naruto Dio Brando - JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Frieza - Dragon Ball Sukuna - Jujutsu Kaisen Muzan Kibutsuji - Demon Slayer Griffith - Berserker All For One - My Hero Academia Light - Death Note Raygo Kiryuin - Kill La Kill I mean, Frank wasn’t wrong when he said we often appear as villains in fiction. 😂
@@Tontoquienloleation ohhhhhh your comment made me realise why I love death note so much and why I love L so much. L is an Intp. I'm also an Intp. That's why I always related to L.
A good example of an ESFJ villain is Mother Gothel from Tangled. She's overprotective as hell trying to hold Rapunzel in the tower, saying "the world is dangerous" and stuff like that. ESFJ villains are pretty rare, but she's a pretty good representation of an unhealthy
An an ENFP, I thought that Megamind was a great example of an ENFP villain, because kinda like syndrome, Megamind got rejected as being the good guy. Whenever he tried to be good, Metroman always outshined him, so he decided that being bad was the only thing that he was good at. He also was very creative and inventive; didn't really have the 'diabolical evil evil' personality either.
Yes! I think his character really did hit me hard when I was younger because if I were put in that situation from an early age, I probably would have become the same thing. -ENFP
@@PrinceJayMoriarty Isn't Yuumori's Moriarty more like INFJ? He's good at pleasing others and manipulate them to do what he wants (because he's able to read their minds and feelings) but at the same time he feels really guilty about all the evil things he's done (even though he was just trying to make the world a better place) . And in The Final Problem he's literally having a burnout cause he can't stand all the stress and guilt.
But Sherlock is also an INTJ (not Ben's version, in that one it's Mycroft, 😘). I always took this to inadvertently say that the only worthy opponent for an INTJ is a fellow INTJ.
I was looking for this comment! I also think of Blofeld, Michael Corleone (unlike his father), Hannibal Lecter, Walter White, Dexter and almost any anime villain.
Haha this was hilariously accurate... We INTJ's are always seen as that scary person sitting quietly, probably plotting the end of the world....and I don't disagree... Great video anyway!
I'm INTP, my bestie's INFJ and my partner's INTJ. All the descriptions for these three types seem pretty accurate. INTJ is spot on. I remember my partner telling me about already having a plan for our date and even though it was romantic and sweet it still sounded like some sort of villanous plan,lmfao. I don't complain though, I like him the way he is :)
It seems, as an INFP, I have started to reach my villain arc 😂😂😂 we’re always described as peaceful and caring (which is true), but the causing chaos for revenge and using all the past pain for motivation is spot on
@SaintVincent9L I have no idea what your taking about 😂😅 but it is a reference to the movie Mune:guardian of the moon. The character mox says it and I love it lol. I tried to see if there's a clip for it and while there is one it is apparently not the version I saw. I am talking about the one with more American voice actors in it. Jeff Dunham was even in it lol.
ENFJ Villain - Hans in Frozen INFJ Villain - Johan Liebert in Monster (arguably one of the greatest characters ever written) Also side note: Movie Voldemort is ENTJ, but the book Voldemort is more INTJ, I think.

I love how INFJ’s are literaly the fancy villains, villains who don’t want to get their hands dirty so they just manipulate someone to do stuff for them. Literaly Count Dooku and Jafar.
People really need to watch the anime "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa. Johan might be the greatest or most well written INFJ villain to ever exist and it's a shame that this anime is overlooked by the majority because of its slow burn pace and realism.
@@actuallyarjun it is really good, the villains are incredible and there's no power up just pure strategies..it's great! And just for sensui..it deserved to be watched..
As an INTP this is oddly correct! If I find something that piques my interest I will research it even if it's controversial or flat out wrong. A good example of this is the father of Nina, from full metal alchemist.
Our unending curiosity and impartial quest for the truth is like opening Pandora's Box. So what if the world suffers for it? These are things that must be KNOWN! Trust me, world! (Even though I shut you out and rejected your warnings).
@@afrosamourai400 INTPs are the definition of the mad scientist trope. Once we find something that interests us, we'll pursue it until we're satisfied. This leads to absolute extremism in certain subjects 😨
Even though I cringe at long monologues with undivided fury, I often find myself thinking that I would do the exact same thing. As an INFP, I can relate to holding on to past wrongs and acting solely on emotion. I would definitely remind my enemies of everything they did wrong before brutally killing them.
"For INFPs, the only thing that has to make sense to them is how they feel." Yeah. We're scary. It probably even scares ourselves how scare we could be. I got a a scholar almost kicked out of school via an anonymous letter. The days of scheming just to take vengeance for my friends... even my friends were unaware that I was already scheming. And then when an opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it. It didn't feel good though. Vengeance, even to those who deserved it, does not feel good or satisfactory. Idk about other types but I feel like INFPs feel the same. We're empaths. It may be that our worst enemies slumped in their lowest before us hurt our hearts just as much. Maybe that's it. But I can say, I didn't feel good to get even.
For me, it would depend on what they did. I dont know if I could ever stand seeing them get brutally physically hurt as thats when I really start to feel my empathy kick in, but perhaps I'd be able to shut that off with anger? 🤷🏻♀️
Hard to know. You can imagine all the horrible ways to punish people, but until you were there witnessing/executing that punishment, you can't really know whether you could actually stomach it. I certainly don't know if I could.
No. As an INFP who has gone through vengeance and regreted it, it's not that we have bad memory but it's in our nature to forgive easily. But if someone hurt our friends, it kind of sticks... because we're a different kind of empaths. Things affect us more than INFJs (i think FJ covered this in a previous video). What I didn't take into account when completing my revenge for others is how it would affect me to see my nemesis down and defeated. Perhaps this part is just me but I know she deserved it, and no one knew i was behind it, but it hurted to see her cry and regret and think about what her defeat would affect her younger siblings. Surely she should have thought it through before doing the deed but I also empathized and understood why she had to live like that and put others down in order to make sure to end up on top.
I forgive (if asked), but don’t entirely forget. It’s more like if I see a pattern of offense, I’ll do what I need to be safe, but I don’t harbor resentment. Does that make sense?
The ENFPs being chaotic is so accurate. When I go into mischievous/prankster mode, I enjoy causing chaos for self pleasure and my goals tend to change XD
Pulling us in with that laugh... ...people don't laugh in heavily edited videos. he's our human friend. meeting with friends is healthy. MUST WATCH FRANK JAMES :) Watching this video about villains and coming to INFJ, I immediately thought about how he has left in him cracking himself up while filming more and more as potentially being a INFJ villain tactic :) Maybe it's just an INFJ with a pessimistic bias of humanity at least still seeing the humour in it :)
Another great INFJ villan is Johan Liebert from the anime Monster by Urasawa. I would love to share more about his tactics but maybe this encourages someone to watch this masterpiece. It's a slow show but someone who enjoys psychological thriller, will love this one!

INTP is very accurate. I thought of mad scientist immediately when it came up and it's true, as an INTP I hate hate HATE being told that I can't discover something and sometimes I will go against people to find out the truth. These do come as consuming moments though so nothing extremely long term - we were never really good at sticking to something for a long time

In Gladiator the hero is an ENTJ and the villain is a very twisted ENFJ, and I think it's so refreshing to see. A good INFJ villain is Gone Girl. Amy's lack of Fi is appalling. And of course you had to mention the Joker as the quintessential ENTP villain, but my favourite must be Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. ENTPs never fail to be entertaining, tbh
Gladiator isn't ENTJ though, he never cared about grand picture which was visible throughout the movie. He cared about his family (Fi) and cared about structure, he wouldn't kneel down for imposed emperor (Si). He is ISTJ.
@@kresovk5 EVERY type cares about their families, it's not a Fi trait 😂 On the other hand, I said he was an ENTJ because I read good points in pdb about him being an ENTJ, but now that you mentioned it I came back and read other comments explaining why he's an ISTJ which were also convincing. So idk anymore.

Hi, kind rectification about Dr. Jekyll who did not want to suppress his dark side but only wanted to get away with it. He actually really enjoyed being Mr. Hyde before realizing he was getting out of hand. So I would say that Frankenstein is a better example of an INTP while Jekyll is more of an ESTP, social, who think about the way to achieve his goal but not about the consequences. Anyway, that was my little TEDtalk about a book I studied and really enjoyed and recommend because it is very short and very nicely written !
I'm saving this under writing. Lol. I love the simple breakdown. Now, instead of sitting and trying to figure out my villain's mbti, I can just look at motive and method and instant knowledge! Lol. Maybe hero next? Knowing mbti type is great when your building your characters.
I think Snape is an INFP. All of his actions come from his deeply held values, specifically his love for Lily Potter. When the rest of society failed to accept him for his INFP uniqueness and attacked his deep love for Lily, he turned against society.
@@Tontoquienloleation I'd say in his fearless experimentation with potions. His (IMO) fairly clear dominant introverted feeling leaves only INFP or ISFP and I really don't see Se in him. He isn't very engaged with the physical world (bad at sports, doesn't dress well) and much prefers to dive into exploration of ideas.
He's a clear INTJ. Cold, calculated, emotionally unexpressive double agent. Who can keep his cool even amongst most evil characters (imagine sensitive INFP there?). It's true that he had strong feelings for Lilly. Though as often happens to INTJs, once betrayed they can't move on, sometimes for decades. Most INTJs have strong values which keep them from turning into a dark side. Ask any INTJ, they will tell you that now and then they have a temptation to use their cold, strategic mind and get what they want and use people only as pawns on their chessboard.
A good example of an ENFJ villain is Hans from Frozen. He puts on a facade and tries to marry Ana just so he could get the kingdom all to himself, only revealing his plans when he thinks she's going to die
About the ESFJ example I think Mother Gothel from Tabgled can be a good one. She gave Rapunzel a mother figure by manipulation and basically use Rapunzels hair for her own youth
The INTP villain that came to mind for your description was Shou Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist. That dude merged his own daughter with the family dog in a high-risk experiment solely for the sake of research.
The INTP villain is nothing more than the well known stereotype of the mad scientist. This type of villain is very interesting cause they don't do anything inherently bad, they're just too curious. But the INTP villain proves the best the importance of moral values cause they're specifically dangerous for the reason that they don't have any.
another example of an INTP villain while being more of an antagonist than a villain, i think Bondrewd deserves a mention, this guy not only experimented on countless homeless kids giving them “purpose” in his point of view to search for a way to traverse the abyss without being afflicted by the curse, he sacrificed HIMSELF just for the sake of research, he sacrificed his humanity and morality to become a white whistle and immortalizing his consciousness while descending to insanity just to be able to conduct his researches and save everyone from the 2000 years cycle thats about to come and guess what? He achieved so many things from tasteless bars that contain all the nutrients that you need to survive to AN ENTIRE PLACE LED BY HIM IN THE 5TH LAYER acting as a safe spot for raiders to settle in while also leading to the 6th layer (minus all the child experiments including child mutilation which by the way Bondrewd actually loved and cared for those children even remembering all of their names and hes done more things but the comment is already too long) Also didnt Tucker just do that for the sake of his license i havent watched the anime but someone mentioned that
Wow, what a massively useful video! I'm a writer, and I have been having trouble defining what motivates my bad guys and what they want. So this video will tell me how to develop them in a logical, consistent manner. THANK YOU! --from an INFJ.
As an ENFJ I agree with the greater good villain analysis. I would happily debate views with others but when it comes to an argument I can be petty and persuasive.
Also the way you describe INFJ villain perfectly fits the villain in Hercule Poirot’s last case, Curtain. I don’t say who that is, but worth a read if you’re INFJ. 😉📚
i as tested and remained infj for 4yrs (yes i personality tested 4yrs ago) which i improved myself further... yes manipulating minds is one thing along with being... well... insanely crazy in a badass manner, (as per stated by others). So i take that as a W for one being a manipulator, two for being a ghost, three for being capable of going loud if necessary
ISFP was so accurate you had me laughing out loud 🤣. “And if everyone else doesn’t like it…they’re WRONG!!!” I just said that to my brother yesterday 😂😂😂
Ben Solo, also known as Kylo Ren, is another example of an ENFJ antagonist. Interestingly enough, the ENFJ is also known as the "Protagonist" in the NERIS Type Indicator, so Kylo Ren was a Protagonist Antagonist. Thankfully though, as Psychology Junkie author Marissa Baker put it, Ben Solo's "...desire and capacity for connection help bring him back to the Light."

@@afrosamourai400 people often state the Morgana was ENFJ I don't see it. I think she is an INFP. Her motivation is that she was hurt by Uther, Merlin and Arthur. In fact I think she only hates Arthur because Merlin and Uther cared about him and so he becomes her target to get at those two. She never uses her charm to convince someone to her side, she doesn't even try this with Gwen. Her duplicity is not the same as manipulation. She isn't really about the greater good for magic users either, she just wants revenge and the crown (possibly to feel safe). I don't feel she exhibits ENFJness in either her early season goodness or her villain arc. She is though badly written -- sadly --- which makes her inconsistent and difficult to type.
@@Miluielle it's been a longtime since i watched the show but i remember she cared about magicians alot and she opposed her father because he was persecuting magic users and she cared about the outcast and the servants..(fe) she had premonitions(ni)
For the INTP, you could also see one as someone who will learn the truth no matter what. They will do things that the people around them will tell them to stop because everyone else doesn’t value the truth as much as the INTP does.
My take is Palpatine is an INFJ. He uses emotions to manipulate other people and events. In the books he has a field that manipulates large populations emotions. Most evident in the movies in the final battle of Endor. Part of the reason for the dramatic shift in the battle was his death caused this influence to be removed. Palpatine had personal vendettas against specific characters (as you mentioned not really an INTJ thing). Notably Windu and Yoda. His fighting style doesn't really gel with an INTJ either. His fighting style funnels dark emotions with raw passion (Would argue an Fe thing). Additionally, the way he manipulates events is mostly through emotional appeal not logic. Demonstrated in method used to turn Anakin to the dark side. INTJs aren't the only personality that can make long term plans. A better example of an INTJ villain is Sauron from Middle Earth. The Eye of Sauron is a demonstration of willpower focused on a very specific area.
From the prequels, Palpatine made me think he was more extroverted. He became the Chancellor himself. He didn't let someone else play the part while he was pulling the strings or get thick with the dude and stage a coup at the right moment. INTJs are more like ninjas. We will step up and be a leader when we have to but we don't like the limelight. We might take credit but not glory.
Good argument. However, Palpatine could be an INTJ who is more in the middle on the thinking-feeling continuum, as opposed to being far to the thinky side.
I concur as an ISTP. When a villain monologues, I always scream "Why are you wasting your time! Just do your thing and gtfo of here before some upstart hero catches up to you!" in my mind.
from an enfj, Morgana Pendragon from the Merlin tv series is probably the most obvious example of an enfj villain from my perspective. Her goal is social justice focused, she does a lot of damage for the “greater good” and attempts to manipulate lots of useful people to support the cause.
She reminds me of daenerys..enfj social justice warriors is too predictable..vito corleone, wendy birde, lalo salamanca, Mcu mysterio are some non stereotypical enfj..
Bellweather from Zootopia is an ESFJ twist villain: She uses her dominant Fe to seem unintimidating, approachable and level-headed, while her disciplined, detail-oriented Si runs the show. I side with ESFJ over ENFJ because she seems to like repetition and maintaining the status quo with a select changes over overhauling the system, or getting her own hands dirty like a Se user might. Thanos? Loki is quite the quintessentially ENFJ villain. I've seen Syndrome typed as both INFP AND ENTP, and honestly, ENFP makes the most sense. He's one of the few supervillains where I didn't agree with in the slightest, but could 100% understand where he came from. Harley Quinn is a perfect ESFP villain example. Sid seems more ISxP.
ESTJ is Dolores Umbridge. And that was really interesting. I appreciated the examples. I write fiction, and always have trouble writing villains. Using personality types might be helpful. Also, I think being an INTJ helps we with writing. Not only do I need to be able to come up with the villain's scheme, and have it be smart enough to make sense; I then need to come up with an even better plan for the heroes to beat the villain.
Great video! As a writer with complex antagonists, you nailed each of them with their types, especially the ISFP. For a great example of an ISTP villain I would look at Taskmaster from Marvel comics. He’s cunning, skilled, and focused on the job. He gets in and gets out, then collects his payment. He’s one of my all time fave villains, especially his portrayal in Ultimate Spider-Man. Keep making great content as always!
i think another great example of an ISTJ villain is Kira Yoshikage from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. As an ISTJ myself, i abhor and detest his moral compass but i admit that we quite resonate when it comes to caution, routine, structure, certainty, contingency plans, and even [strange] preferences or hobbies surprisingly (his murdering-hand fetish and my taxidermy hobby lol). He's also a very methodical/meticulous man, and has very strong inclinations to everything that's very much involved in his past hence his reluctance to change (he hates leaving Morioh), his desire for a private and peaceful life, and the fixed image he intends to display in public to avoid suspicion, pretty much a 'role model citizen' kind of image in order to exude an air of normalcy that'll reduce the chances of getting caught for more than a decade (worked quite well). This is also why i think ISTJs can make for a great and efficient notorious serial killer in pieces of fiction.
Is it worth it to watch that JoJo part only for him? He is an ISTJ 9w1 the same as me, quite a rare breed and I consider watching it just because of it, lol
@@azerim2039 i believe every part of JJBA is worth watching though yes a main villain's appearance like Kira's apparently made Part 4 gain more appreciation to other fans, lol you have the same enneagram as him. I'm an ISTJ 1w2 like Bruno Bucciarati in Golden Wind though.
@@neonangelsrequiem09 That's why I was talking about Enneagram and Kira. ISTJ 9w1 just don't really exist in media. In popular anime there are literally 3 of them: - Rei in Evangelion (kind of) - Kira in JoJo - Langa in SK8 That's literally it. There are a bunch of ISTJ 1s and 6s but 9s are quite rare. Which is funny in a way because both ISTJs and 9s are some of the most common types by themselves.
@@azerim2039 yea an interesting dynamic actually, still flips me over. Kira himself as a villain noticeably lacks the typical 'ambition' or strong pursuits/passion that most villains have, just that he can manage to keep his routines especially his perverseness as i can see type 9 fueling his laid back side more. I'm least familiar with nines but i can imagine them actually being quite popular, given the characters you've mentioned.
Some examples for villains in different types: INFP - Arthur Fleck "Joker" INFJ - Adolf Hitler ENFP - Harley Quinn ENFJ - Oh Il-Nam ISFP - Flint Marko "Sandman" ISFJ - Max Dillon "Electro" ESFP - Anakin Skywalker "Darth Vader" ESFJ - Reiner Braun "Armored Titan" INTP - Tomura Shigaraki INTJ - Thanos ENTP - Chris McLean ENTJ - Light Yagami ISTP - Zabuza Momochi ISTJ - Illumi Zoldyck ESTP - Venom ESTJ - Draco Malfoy Yes they are pretty random but I tried to put some pretty interesting people for each type so you can really see what motivates them to be villains.
As an ISTJ, I dont always win but I like playing the game, warms my heart to see it mentioned. Didnt know you all in North America call it simply Clue until now. Question though, what character do you all play as? I think mine is obvious lol
As INTP I have been researching people who have a lot of emotional package. INFP with emotional package was the sweetest and the most dangerous one haha. I am kind of my own enemy because I set myself in danger while following my interests. It's always a circus when I dig their deepest trauma. But I learned a lot. Also I was aware I was lacking some understanding about other people feelings and my own, so going super deep and super dark would help me to understand everything, and it worked. I understand so much more now, and there's so much more to find. Each person is different, and relationships are a circus anyway, even if you have a lot of knowledge. There is no right pattern to make it work, it works or it doesn't, you just do your best and that's it. The important thing is to know your needs and if they are met in your relationship, and ability to break up if necessary. Many people don't know much about themselves, so they do this crazy stuff to avoid certain feelings and refuse to learn. Anyway this was a long story, I hope someone understands what I mean if they have energy to read this haha.
Me in 2022: All about everything villainous, becoming one Me in 2023: Learns I'm an INTJ/ENTJ hybrid. Looks back at 2021 self: "Stupid girl, I should've known, should've known"
Thanks! This was really cool, and also helpful. I’m a writer, and this helped me analyze my own current villains. For instance, in my current two projects, I think I have one ENFJ and one ISTJ. Side note: I am an INFJ (so Iago makes me squirm). But I also love learning more than anything. So if you tell me, “Don’t do that because it’s wrong,” that’s fine. But if you tell me, “You aren’t allowed to KNOW that,” then we may have a problem. That temptation is gonna be strong and let’s be real, walking away is gonna suck.
Brilliant vid, brilliantly timed! I'm currently doing a big character focus in a story, and two of the antagonists have been doing my head in. One is an ENFJ, kind of a difficult villain to write in general but she does reflect basically what you said of ENFJs - so glad that one's on track. Her whole schtick is ideological extremism and isolating her in-group from the majority with the promise of greatness et al, with her key strength (and thus key weakness) being her ability to recruit skilled hands to do all the work. The other I've been flipping back and forth between ENTP and ENTJ; he's contrary and does have elements of causing heck "just because", but ultimately he does have an end goal and will stop at nothing to achieve it rather than just chasing cars, so I think that's clarified a sticking point that's kept me going around in circles for ages. It does make more sense for Ni rather than Ne to come in swinging with this guy; he's trying to mold the world to his understanding, rather than trying to drink in every detail and tackle them all one after the other.
Let me know what other sort of explainer videos you'd like to see about the 16 Personalities! 🧡
16 Personalities as Burritos ?

What the 16ps seek in relationships,
In my opinion, that would be interesting.
@@welcometothericefield6605 the 16 personalities as teacher or how would they be as a teacher , Now that's intresting

lol intp is so true and well explained
Be honest. *We’re only here for our own type*
Villains are very interested in themselves
I'm a mum. I need information about my kids 😁
I'm an ENFP. I'm here for my and MY FRIENDS' types!
You could prob say that about all these MBTI videos. Hehe.
No actually i'm here for my own and my fictional characters types :)
When I heard the words “tragic backstory” in the INFP segment, my mind immediately went to Doofenshmirtz.
Same.Kinda. I only watched my part and the ones for my loved ones but when I read "tragic backstory" in your comment my thoughts were the same :)
"Both of my parents failed to show up at my birth" - Doofenshmirtz
I think he's extroverted though so he would likely be an ENFP. He's desperate for any kind of companionship and is the first to try to get Perry the Platypus to think about being his friend.
Doofenshmirtz is clearly an INTP
I thought of Loki....
I think I speak for all INFPs when I say that, villiany would be an all-or-nothing choice. It would have to be the literal last resort after losing everything that we hold dear.
That actually reminded me of that one INFP character who was bullied at school, didn't have a father, but had a mother with bad habits. I guess he also hated people and disagreed with the opinion of many. So, when his mother died, he lost the last thing he had.
Yeah, I think it would be The Mission. Like it would be the thing that mattered most, equated to whomever we loved. Like getting vengeance for the one we love is The Only Thing That Matters. Damn us to hell. Hahahha xD
Touch my family and you're toast. Nuked . Some things I can forgive.
Others, you get the business end of my sour. Think John Wick. You really don't want it.
@verbimu I thought so. I understood him too well for him to be too far off.
"Beware the fury of a patient man" - John Dryden
As an INFP yeah, I'd probably become a villian purely out of one thing: Spite. If someone took someone, something, or some place I truly and wholely loved away from me permanently my wraith would be pretty terrible.
There's an old proverb, "it takes a village to raise a child, but the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." That is the INFP villian. Hurt an INFP at your own risk.
Wow, yeah.. powerful words there. 😮(fellow INFP)
this is literally Wanda the scarlet witch lmao
Damn that proverb really missed the opportunity for: “it takes a village to raise a child, but that child who is not embraced will raze the village to feel it’s warmth.
@@BlewBerri damn that pun is perfection
Frank mentioned ENTP Joker (Dark Knight), who I can empathize with as a fellow agent of chaos, but there's also INFP Joker (Arthur Fleck), who basically fits your description of a deeply emotionally wounded and spiteful, hateful person. The INFP villain always seems to be a good person at first that 'snaps'. "What do you get, when you cross a mentally ill loner, with a SOCIETY, THAT ABANDONED HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH?! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET! YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!!!"
The combination of INTJ and INFJ will be scary.
Even worse: an INTJ as the mastermind, with an INFJ mentor, an ENTJ grand ruler taking advice from the INTJ, with an ENFJ second in command for show. They hired all ESTJ to command, and an ISTJ army to follow all rules, and well paid ISTPs to get everything done. They also have a brainwashed following of ESFJs. Let’s hope and ENTP or INTP doesn’t rebel, or even worse, a good ENTJ or ENFJ starts a revolution.
As an almost even split between the two, Ive been called scary a few times in my day 😂
No one will see it coming! And when it finally comes to pass, no one will know how it happened.
dream team
I'm a hybrid of INFJ - INTJ I think, so ima wait and see what it says about me LOL
As an INTJ, I once drew a whole "battle-plan of vengence" encompassing every possibility when I was 10
Did you enact it though?

I'm starting to think he's trying to poke fun at INTJ's because he knows INTJ's would want to head straight to their own part🤣.
@Chandan He is a man of culture after all
@@PrinceJayMoriarty Should have said that instead
As an INFJ, the INFJ villain you described is one of my favorite types of villain. The manipulative fox that corrupts the naive lamb, earning their trust and using it to do their evil bidding.
The most insidious villain of them all for sure.
I'm also an INFJ, and those types of villains are one of my favorites, too... Guess that explains a lot.
As an INFJ, deep down I actually hated them. Because from a young age I knew what I can do to others by being manipulative. I saw it as being weak to get others to do your bidding instead of doing it yourself.
So, I only use my skills to push people to do what they want to do, if I see those goals as alright that is. I mean one of the best logics to follow as an INFJ is to think, "Don't do something to others you won't like being done to yourself." But... I also try to follow the principle of "An eye for an eye." So, I might do something evil similar to the evil you have done to me, at least I try to, but most of the times fail to do anything about it by being too considerate...
@@ninjahunterx7497 That's a really good point! I haven't thought of it as weakness!
Littlefinger from Game of Thrones came to mind for INFJ villains.
As an INTJ, this is very accurate. Let’s just be honest, I’m not the only INTJ to root for the villains and fantasize about being an Emperor Palpatine
You don't route for something, you root for it.
You may be, but I'm not. I'm still an INTJ, though.
Yes! As a little girl, my favorite Disney characters were the bad ones. Ursula especially.
I think villains make for much more complex and interesting characters.
When Star Wars came out, my favourite character was Darth Vader. Go Darth!
Nah bud, you not alone lol
ISFJ is the kind of villain that keeps accidentally helping the heroes
don't sell them short ;)
Oh no I've been busted!
RETREAT!!
😁😂
Haha ye 😂
That’s what they want you to think
You know, as an INTJ I only recently realized an embarrassing truth. My INTP sister revealed it to me. We were talking about how we respond to being wrong about something, and it was then that she told me, "You laugh maniacally.". That's of course only when it's an idea I'm really married to. If not, I just accept I'm wrong or move the goal post if I'm convinced that I'm wrong but unsure if the other person is right.
A day later I came to her with another realization, "I monologue too, don't I?" "Yep, all the time.". And for years I thought that kind of villain was so over the top and unrealistic lol. Life is strange.
The best explanation I can give is that if someone disproves an idea that I've been cherishing and building on for years, it's like they decapitated my child and stuck their head on a pike in front of me. I WILL laugh insanely, and figuratively detonate the self destruct device to take everyone with me. But only after a crazy monologue.
For my INTP sister though, she usually never admits to being wrong. What happens is that I or others will try to prove her wrong, and she'll stubbornly defend a crazy idea. Then maybe a day, a week, a month, or years later she'll casually say something that makes you realize she's totally changed her stance to what everyone else told her was the truth. It comes down to having life experiences for herself that prove the knowledge gained. Everyone can use statistics to prove opposing points, so raw data often comes with bias. That's what we realized was the issue.
Shit! I just realised I monologue all the time looking like a crazy person. It's always happen when I feel like the world has wronged me or a certain community. I wish if I only had the energy to execute all those plans or publish those monologues online. But Cancel Culture is gonna take me out in a instant so not worth it. Back to the BatCave!
Yup, you monologue a lot
In fiction, I love my villains and you describing yourself that way is exactly one of the villain origin stories that butter my bread.
As an INFJ, I've seen a lot where people call my personality type the Hitler Jesus and a family member of mine told my mom that if nurtured well, this child will either go on to become the greatest thing that happened to this world or the worst. And I was a freakin toddler at the time. But honestly when I think about, yeah, I can see how I can go Hitler mode especially in this day and age where everybody and everything is a minefield; one wrong step and BOOM! you're cancelled.
So if my years of gathering unbiased information from multiple diverse sources and individuals is not "sensible" or sit right with you after listening to your concerns and problems gently, patiently for sooo long, boy I will shove "sense" into you whether you like it or not. And everybody who dares to be the same the that individual.
I may be known as a good listener and I know I am patient as Jesus but if people stubbornly refuse to see reason because they're feelings are more important, I lose my patience and go dictator mode.
@@manavnayyar I've published a ton of monologues online without being cancelled. When I do finally get cancelled I have books to read and podcasts to listen to...INTP
As an INTP, I'm very open to being proven wrong, but on the occasion it happens, I'll just quietly back down from my argument as opposed to outwardly admitting it.
Also the monologues and maniacal laughs do show up when I'm in the mood. I suspect it's a shadow type thing since exhaustion and stress bring it out more than anything else.

Thank you! I don’t even know how to do any of that
I’ve heard it said that Hitler was an INFJ, and honestly it makes a lot of sense. As an INTJ, I’m used to being pegged as the villain type in the MBTI community. But I was almost offended when I first heard about Hitler as an INFJ because INTJs are supposedly cold, arrogant, aloof, but INFJs are so empathetic, so wise, so attuned to the desires of others … oh wait
Someone like hitler needs to be empathetic and in tune with others to play their weaknesses and manipulate them
@@Magic_Thing probably not, but I get what you mean... I was curious about that too
Exactly, you get it now. If we are so empathetic, wise and attuned to the desires of others that means we have the potential to be the exact opposite. Especially because we can know anything about people, what they love, what they hate, their strengths and weaknesses and use it against them. Destroy what you love the most to deeply hurt you to your core identity. It also allows to manipulate people to lead them to do everything you want to accomplish your vision. That means you can also indirectly have people' skills at your disposal and thus ultimate power. They can even think they're acting for the greater good and being profoundly wrong but they'll think what they do is right to the end so no compassion will be allowed. Hitler is the best example of the worst an INFJ villain can do, finding effective ways to destroy someone's mind entirely or do that on a larger scale. Make the entire world experience the deepest emotional pain, tortures and sufferings. The greatest INFJ villain wants to destroy humanity itself as a all. That's why honestly even if INTJs are the classical mastermind villain, INFJs make better villains and the scariests in my opinion cause they can be so harmful and directly attack humanity and the human mind itself.
@@kyurei4478 thanks for the interesting and thoughtful reply. It’s ironic to me that very mature INTJs can turn out to be extremely self-sacrificial and will use their mastermind capabilities to create a plan that puts them in danger so that many people will be safe. They can also have the ability to empathize with those everyone else thinks is too difficult or too evil to empathize with (i.e. criminal/villain minds) The thing is, these kinds of INTJs often end up going unnoticed behind the scenes or will be misrepresented. They’re really underrepresented in literature and and even more so in film, but they’re the kind of hero I want to be as an INTJ.
On the other hand, INFJs can, as discussed, use the qualities Western culture celebrates so much and turn them into evil. INFJ villains really are the kind that fly under the radar and look like heroes. As amazing as INFJs are (my father, a counselor, is one), we cannot forget that they have potential for evil like everyone else. INTJs, as easy as it is to assume they are evil, can be good in ways that people are afraid to emulate because it is so selfless. Every type has the potential for great evil or great good.
@@mayleespann4552 Thank you for your answer, very interesting insight and good points as well. For sure it's ironic yes. But it makes perfect sense when you think about it, when you mature you start learning to use the parts of you you're the least comfortable with. So as you said, INTJs who can tend to be more self-centered and self-interested from the start will start acting in a more considerate and selfless way and put themselves into danger for others. That also means that in the same way, mature INFJs who where already selfless, interested in satisfying others, ready to sacrifice themselves for the community will start being more self-centered and more self-interested and stop empathizing so much to give more attention to themselves. It's like switching basically, you learn what the other already has. That's why I think the INFJ x INTJ relationships are so crucial in life. Maybe any INFJ and INTJ should have their own INTJ and INFJ to mature very fast because they get each other since they're so similar but also offer a brand new perspective at the same time. I guess with maturity though these INTJs will learn how not to be misinterpreted anymore and to communicate their ideas accordingly to their real intentions. You're right this kind of INTJ characters are rarely portrayed. Maybe because it's too far from the stereotype and it's not every writer who will go that deep into writing. Also maybe because the less stereotypical a character is, the less their core identity is recognizable. You might even not get this character is actually an INTJ because he's so mature. That's a challenge. How to write a nuanced character and keep it recognizable ? You'll probably need few moments where this character will still be a bit immature or will take decisions which satisfy logic more. That really makes me happy to hear that's the kind of person an INTJ wants to be cause as an INFJ that's already what I typically believe in.
And yes, as you say INFJs really are the kind of villain that flies under the radar because they're so discreet in the first place and normally know how to appear this way or the way they want to people. Even if that's not inherently bad qualities, that's qualities that if used with the most malicious intents can become very problematic. The ironic thing is INFJs are conscious of this themselves and are actually afraid people will find it creepy and won't accept them because of these qualities they possess so they'll precisely tend to hide it from people. The tragic thing is they sincerely have the best intentions for others but their qualities turned bad can do so much harm. That's why INFJs always want to avoid using their dark side at all cost because they're so afraid of it themselves and don't want to unleash it. So yes, don't forget they have the potential for evil like anybody but don't reject them for that. You might even provoke evil by doing so. Just respect them for what they are and believe in their genuine want to help humanity. It takes a lot to get some form of evil from some types, and this is one of them thankfully. People usually wondered why I was so focused on being a good person and why I had such high standards I didn't deviate from when I was young but it's precisely for these reasons. I can't really allow myself not to be considerate of others because if I start acting for myself only without caring at all, I can be so dangerous. NEVER ask an INFJ to acknowledge their dark side more, they should always repress it, at all costs. Other types of people can if they want because they're not so insightful and don't represent such a threat so they can't really make that much harm, INFJs can. My opinion is that introverted intuition (Ni) is a function with such a destructive potential. It's no coincidence if INTJs and INFJs make great villains. The worst is that's the function we understand the least. It's true, same goes for INFJs actually when they're in their natural state and healthy, others usually don't want to go as far because such level of selflessness can intimidate people so they're constantly misunderstood and that's how they are on a daily basis. But INTJs are capable of showing the same attitude when people see through the bluntness and they start to be more comprehensive. I have a personal theory that people with low T functions and high feeling functions are actually more dangerous than more thinker people who naturally have low feeling functions when they're unhealthy because feelers will shut down their emotions and use their thinker side in a evil way when I think thinker people will show their emotional side more and I think the first one can be more dangerous overall for society than the second one. So you should be more careful not permitting feelers to be unhealthy versus thinker but that's just how I see it.
When an INFP gets villainous, they get creative and obsessive, but the revenge is usually not direct. They might try to affirm themselves through art, passive-aggression, stalking/spying, or blackmail. Like INTJs, they might sit in the shadows and come up with a grand scheme, but the scheme would be more personal and solo…like a song or book that disses someone or exposes their worst secrets.
Yeah..
true af
Me reading the comment since I am an INFP: this is me in one comment.
The fact a UA-camr I just respect knows me better than my family is unbelievable🤯🤯🤯
Accurate
Exactly (fellow INFP) . I will never let others know that I'm going to take revenge from them
Joker: Do I look like a guy with a plan?
Also Joker: Has backup plans for backup plans. A contigency plan for everything.
as enfp - why would i have come up with plan when i can plan ways to plan plans when they needed!
in games i love playing mages and characters with 30 pocked skills that can be used so sytuationaly than to use it in combinations and sytuations noone expects - Ne types are great little planers on the go i think

@@Vector12345t Makes sense lmao, this is like Jonathan Irons from COD Advanced Warfare s UN speech:”I am honored to be the first CEO of a private corporation to become a member of the United Nations Security Council. Unfortunately, my appearance today has been clouded by a flurry of speculation that my company is developing a weapon of mass destruction which would be capable of targeting specific ethnic groups. I want to address these allegations head on. Are we developing such a weapon? No, we are not. (all of the delegates applaud) Because we've already developed it.”
As an entp, it's not really backup plans we have... it's more improvising and adapting extremely quickly.

The worst thing is, logic, I feel, can be explained to and convinced but emotions are intense and cannot be convinced or debated against. We INFPs tend to feel emotions on a( not to be too philosophical) spiritual and intimate level that is tremendously high. As an INFP, not only do I remember things others do, I remember them for myself too. So to say, as a villain, INFPs can be worst and we often become these villains for ourselves. For once, we can supress our overwhelming emotions for someone and forgive them but if we do that to ourselves, our life becomes hell(worse than that).
P.S- I'm sorry you had to read such a long thing but if you did, ILY so much and thank you so much for validating my stupid comment.
As an INFJ, I understand you so well (mind the irony, please). I can be patient with emotional reasoning but if that doesn't end with the person figuring out or realising the logic behind their emotional reasoning after soooooo long (it has taken weeks IRL) I will lose my patience and start to go Hitler mode starting with passive aggressive behaviour.
An unhealthy infp is an unintentional villain to everyone in their life. Speaking from experience 😭
facts
the INFP one is so accurate and as an INFP I love it!
I also think this sentence fits kinda well with the type of villain an INFP is:
"Evil queens are the princesses that weren't rescued from their towers"
Johan liebert is the perfect example of what an INFJ villain would be.
Have you ever heard of Adolf Hitler? Also a famous INFJ, very idealistic that he is blinded by what he perceived to be the best for his people.
😄
For real lol
Or Hitler

As an INTJ I can confirm I have planned world domination and have been since I was 3
For me the best example of an ENTJ evil is Light or Kira from Death Note. Purely focused on one thing: making the world a place without crime.
Yesss. Death Note is ENTJ vs. INTP. Of course it's a masterpiece

Madara Uchiha - Naruto
Dio Brando - JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Frieza - Dragon Ball
Sukuna - Jujutsu Kaisen
Muzan Kibutsuji - Demon Slayer

Light - Death Note

A good example of an ESFJ villain is Mother Gothel from Tangled. She's overprotective as hell trying to hold Rapunzel in the tower, saying "the world is dangerous" and stuff like that. ESFJ villains are pretty rare, but she's a pretty good representation of an unhealthy
For some reason, I thought Rui from Demon Slayer.
An an ENFP, I thought that Megamind was a great example of an ENFP villain, because kinda like syndrome, Megamind got rejected as being the good guy. Whenever he tried to be good, Metroman always outshined him, so he decided that being bad was the only thing that he was good at. He also was very creative and inventive; didn't really have the 'diabolical evil evil' personality either.
Yes same!
Agree!
Yes! I think his character really did hit me hard when I was younger because if I were put in that situation from an early age, I probably would have become the same thing. -ENFP
OMG Yessss. He got the description spot on, but Syndrome was a friendless douche. Megamind works for me
absolutely agree! he was my first thought when it came to ENFP villains
I am surprised you didn't use Moriarty for INTJ. One of the most misunderstood villains of all time :)
Yes both the people and anime version ❤️💙
@@PrinceJayMoriarty Isn't Yuumori's Moriarty more like INFJ? He's good at pleasing others and manipulate them to do what he wants (because he's able to read their minds and feelings) but at the same time he feels really guilty about all the evil things he's done (even though he was just trying to make the world a better place) . And in The Final Problem he's literally having a burnout cause he can't stand all the stress and guilt.
@@noircieux1554 he might be but I’ve only ever seen him categorized as an INTJ so idk 🤷♂️
But Sherlock is also an INTJ (not Ben's version, in that one it's Mycroft, 😘). I always took this to inadvertently say that the only worthy opponent for an INTJ is a fellow INTJ.
I was looking for this comment!
I also think of Blofeld, Michael Corleone (unlike his father), Hannibal Lecter, Walter White, Dexter and almost any anime villain.
Haha this was hilariously accurate... We INTJ's are always seen as that scary person sitting quietly, probably plotting the end of the world....and I don't disagree... Great video anyway!
As an INFP...
Yeah, that's what I'd probably become if I were to become a villain myself...
I would be like the Joker 2019 🤡🥳
I agree yep this more or less checks out haha. It’s weird how good personality types get people
When he said tragedic life story I was sure his example of an INFP will be Doctor Doofenshmirz but apparantly not
I'm INTP, my bestie's INFJ and my partner's INTJ. All the descriptions for these three types seem pretty accurate. INTJ is spot on. I remember my partner telling me about already having a plan for our date and even though it was romantic and sweet it still sounded like some sort of villanous plan,lmfao. I don't complain though, I like him the way he is :)
It seems, as an INFP, I have started to reach my villain arc 😂😂😂 we’re always described as peaceful and caring (which is true), but the causing chaos for revenge and using all the past pain for motivation is spot on
well, NFP is basically chaos if you think well, emotions, intuition and no organization at all, we are basically the chaos

@@Chair_0809 wait is this a Hollywood undead reference?? 😂
@SaintVincent9L I have no idea what your taking about 😂😅 but it is a reference to the movie Mune:guardian of the moon. The character mox says it and I love it lol.

Jeff Dunham was even in it lol.
ENFJ Villain - Hans in Frozen
INFJ Villain - Johan Liebert in Monster (arguably one of the greatest characters ever written)
Also side note: Movie Voldemort is ENTJ, but the book Voldemort is more INTJ, I think.
Yess, the johan one is correct sm
Johan is literally the perfect example for infj villain
I personally believe the popular girl cults in high schools also belong to the ESFJ villain archetype.
Yes mean girls bullying girls by exclusion
There are other types of esfj villains too constance langdon, carmela soprano, tom (succession)
ENTJ
Johan from Monster is definitely a textbook example of an INFJ villian
The greatest villain of all times..
"Why are you guys fighting me? I just want to give everyone healthcare and college! FFS! Why am I the villian for wanting the world to be a better place?"
-INTJ
@Abcd Efu Why reinvent the wheel when the rest of the first world already does that?
Bc you said it in a not nice way and it hurt our feelings and made us feel condescended to. All the SF types probably.
I love how INFJ’s are literaly the fancy villains, villains who don’t want to get their hands dirty so they just manipulate someone to do stuff for them. Literaly Count Dooku and Jafar.
People really need to watch the anime "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa.
Johan might be the greatest or most well written INFJ villain to ever exist and it's a shame that this anime is overlooked by the majority because of its slow burn pace and realism.
It's a masterpiece. I have yet to see a more fascinating villain than Johan Liebert
@@LauraCoubert a human being who likes the show?! Can we be friends? ;-;
Johan is not only the best infj villain written but the best villain ever..seconded by shinobu sensui..

Thanos as well.
@@FutureCommentary1 thanos is clearly Fe motivated

Then there's the greatest fictional villian of all time, professor Moriarty.
The two I most commonly see for INFP are the Phantom of the Opera and Sweeney Todd. That being said, it was cool to see you pick someone else.
omg i listened to infp part again that's literally phantom of opera.
@@chhavigoyal3447 right? Like "dude, I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, but you need to stop!"

As an INTP this is oddly correct! If I find something that piques my interest I will research it even if it's controversial or flat out wrong.
A good example of this is the father of Nina, from full metal alchemist.
Mmm, I'm a bit more of a sensitive type of INTP... but honestly if it Catches my interest enough, definitely could happen >>;;
Our unending curiosity and impartial quest for the truth is like opening Pandora's Box. So what if the world suffers for it? These are things that must be KNOWN! Trust me, world! (Even though I shut you out and rejected your warnings).
Thinkers are scary...walter bishop, frankenstein, dr jekyll, jonathan crane and schau tucker these guys don't care..
@@afrosamourai400 INTPs are the definition of the mad scientist trope. Once we find something that interests us, we'll pursue it until we're satisfied. This leads to absolute extremism in certain subjects 😨
It's so true... Ever heard of Hojo from Final Fantasy? He is an INTP
Even though I cringe at long monologues with undivided fury, I often find myself thinking that I would do the exact same thing. As an INFP, I can relate to holding on to past wrongs and acting solely on emotion. I would definitely remind my enemies of everything they did wrong before brutally killing them.
I think a lot of your villain comparisons were spot on. At the very least I didn't think of any better villains.
"For INFPs, the only thing that has to make sense to them is how they feel."
Yeah. We're scary. It probably even scares ourselves how scare we could be.
I got a a scholar almost kicked out of school via an anonymous letter. The days of scheming just to take vengeance for my friends... even my friends were unaware that I was already scheming. And then when an opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it.
It didn't feel good though. Vengeance, even to those who deserved it, does not feel good or satisfactory. Idk about other types but I feel like INFPs feel the same. We're empaths. It may be that our worst enemies slumped in their lowest before us hurt our hearts just as much. Maybe that's it. But I can say, I didn't feel good to get even.
For me, it would depend on what they did. I dont know if I could ever stand seeing them get brutally physically hurt as thats when I really start to feel my empathy kick in, but perhaps I'd be able to shut that off with anger? 🤷🏻♀️
Hard to know. You can imagine all the horrible ways to punish people, but until you were there witnessing/executing that punishment, you can't really know whether you could actually stomach it. I certainly don't know if I could.
@QueenMonny well, if I was angry, I could do some pretty despicable things. It would depend on the level of anger I had.
INFP here. I forget and forgive incredibly easily and quickly. So today I found out there are INFPs out there with a good memory 😂
No. As an INFP who has gone through vengeance and regreted it, it's not that we have bad memory but it's in our nature to forgive easily. But if someone hurt our friends, it kind of sticks... because we're a different kind of empaths. Things affect us more than INFJs (i think FJ covered this in a previous video). What I didn't take into account when completing my revenge for others is how it would affect me to see my nemesis down and defeated. Perhaps this part is just me but I know she deserved it, and no one knew i was behind it, but it hurted to see her cry and regret and think about what her defeat would affect her younger siblings. Surely she should have thought it through before doing the deed but I also empathized and understood why she had to live like that and put others down in order to make sure to end up on top.
I forgive but don't forget even if I don't tell you that. INFJ 🙃
@@angel_cat chill with it, that’s deep
I forgive (if asked), but don’t entirely forget. It’s more like if I see a pattern of offense, I’ll do what I need to be safe, but I don’t harbor resentment.
Does that make sense?
@@llamasugar5478 perfectly 😊
The ENFPs being chaotic is so accurate. When I go into mischievous/prankster mode, I enjoy causing chaos for self pleasure and my goals tend to change XD
What if Frank James has been INFJ villaining us into our own distraction of UA-cam addiction?
Pulling us in with that laugh...
...people don't laugh in heavily edited videos. he's our human friend. meeting with friends is healthy. MUST WATCH FRANK JAMES :)
Watching this video about villains and coming to INFJ, I immediately thought about how he has left in him cracking himself up while filming more and more as potentially being a INFJ villain tactic :) Maybe it's just an INFJ with a pessimistic bias of humanity at least still seeing the humour in it :)
Another great INFJ villan is Johan Liebert from the anime Monster by Urasawa.
I would love to share more about his tactics but maybe this encourages someone to watch this masterpiece.
It's a slow show but someone who enjoys psychological thriller, will love this one!
YES Johan Liebert is the ultimate infj villain
@@maybeme8783 He is! And the most scary thing is, that someone like him can really exist. Since the show is realistic and not over the top like animes usually are.

I think it's all on UA-cam actually.
Apparently the creators didn't care that much that someone uploaded every episode, so it's not been taken down. (As far as I know)
He's not only the best infj villain but the best villain ever with shinobu sensui..
INTP is very accurate. I thought of mad scientist immediately when it came up and it's true, as an INTP I hate hate HATE being told that I can't discover something and sometimes I will go against people to find out the truth. These do come as consuming moments though so nothing extremely long term - we were never really good at sticking to something for a long time
I was telling my coworker about a (psychological and morally questionable) human experiment I'd like to make and he said I should have been born 200 years ago, then nobody would judge me 🙄
Seriously! Why must human experimentation be so tightly regulated? I have questions that need answering, dag nabbit!
@@raddaks2039 ask the humanised mice if it's tightly regulated
Truth, and honestly if I had the skills and a subject that would interest me enough, I honestly don't doubt I may go off the deep end.
It isn't a high possibility, and thanks to many limitations I do doubt it could happen as I am, but the possibility is still there ^^;;
@@raddaks2039 And there are SO many humans, it's trivially easy to make more, and very few will achieve anything greater than being part of an experiment.
Sometimes I think that ENFP villains don't realise that they're bad. They may believe that they're in the right side.
This
Or they just be like "hey this seems fun" or "what could go wrong"
from real life Charlie Manson was just trying to show black people how to rise up, but he also thought they were dumb and needed to be shown by violence. i think because of our personalities and strong headedness we can make cultish leaders, like Kanye.
@@notverynotoriousg5674 I agree with you so much, I am an ENFP. I literally started creating a "cult"/society, but I had only found one member who I liked enough, so I haven't been involved in this idea for years cause it was getting boring. And my goals were fking confusing and changed everyday.
I love how the ISTP segment is shorter than all the others lol
yeah 😂
It's as short as the actual job; get in, get out, watch news from home.
In Gladiator the hero is an ENTJ and the villain is a very twisted ENFJ, and I think it's so refreshing to see. A good INFJ villain is Gone Girl. Amy's lack of Fi is appalling. And of course you had to mention the Joker as the quintessential ENTP villain, but my favourite must be Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. ENTPs never fail to be entertaining, tbh
Makishima shogo is one of the greatest entp villain i know..
Gladiator isn't ENTJ though, he never cared about grand picture which was visible throughout the movie. He cared about his family (Fi) and cared about structure, he wouldn't kneel down for imposed emperor (Si). He is ISTJ.
@@kresovk5 EVERY type cares about their families, it's not a Fi trait 😂 On the other hand, I said he was an ENTJ because I read good points in pdb about him being an ENTJ, but now that you mentioned it I came back and read other comments explaining why he's an ISTJ which were also convincing. So idk anymore.
@@Tontoquienloleation not that ISTJs can't be good generals, but ENTJs are way more likely to rise through the ranks to that level. That's a point on the side of Maximus being ENTJ. Definitely a TJ at least.
I love how there are examples for each type and great video as always Frank :))
Glad you liked it!

The "Girls just want to have fun" song reference was fantastic!
ISFP analysis was spot-on! Not trying to be evil but realizing that if people don't share our ideals they're just wrong and not along for the ride and if they think of us as bad, oh well lol I gasped out loud at the Poison Ivy comparison because it was so perfect.
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader i find is another pretty good example of someone who possesses ISFP cognition.

As an infj I feel like this is perfect for me omg I do stuff like this all the time and always get away with it and I don’t even realize just how much I’ve been doing it within my friend groups until now. Ever since I’ve been a kid I’ve always done stuff like this and I’ve always taken enjoyment watching others fight from the seeds I’ve planted. Then fixing the issue and acting like I am the wisest person in the group. Idk why it just brings me joy.
Hi, kind rectification about Dr. Jekyll who did not want to suppress his dark side but only wanted to get away with it. He actually really enjoyed being Mr. Hyde before realizing he was getting out of hand. So I would say that Frankenstein is a better example of an INTP while Jekyll is more of an ESTP, social, who think about the way to achieve his goal but not about the consequences.
Anyway, that was my little TEDtalk about a book I studied and really enjoyed and recommend because it is very short and very nicely written !
I'm saving this under writing. Lol. I love the simple breakdown. Now, instead of sitting and trying to figure out my villain's mbti, I can just look at motive and method and instant knowledge!
Lol. Maybe hero next? Knowing mbti type is great when your building your characters.
When I saw the title of the video, I thought the EXACT same thing! These things help with writing your villains.
I think Snape is an INFP. All of his actions come from his deeply held values, specifically his love for Lily Potter. When the rest of society failed to accept him for his INFP uniqueness and attacked his deep love for Lily, he turned against society.
Wow I'm the same type as my favorite Harry Potter character, that's epic, but he's not a villain, he is the truest of true neutrals
Where's his Ne, though?
@@Tontoquienloleation I'd say in his fearless experimentation with potions. His (IMO) fairly clear dominant introverted feeling leaves only INFP or ISFP and I really don't see Se in him. He isn't very engaged with the physical world (bad at sports, doesn't dress well) and much prefers to dive into exploration of ideas.
He's a clear INTJ. Cold, calculated, emotionally unexpressive double agent. Who can keep his cool even amongst most evil characters (imagine sensitive INFP there?). It's true that he had strong feelings for Lilly. Though as often happens to INTJs, once betrayed they can't move on, sometimes for decades. Most INTJs have strong values which keep them from turning into a dark side. Ask any INTJ, they will tell you that now and then they have a temptation to use their cold, strategic mind and get what they want and use people only as pawns on their chessboard.
Yasss valid example
infp here!! 💗💗thanks for the video
Welcome!!
I feel like mother Gothel from Tangled is a good example of an ESFJ villain.
A good example of an ENFJ villain is Hans from Frozen. He puts on a facade and tries to marry Ana just so he could get the kingdom all to himself, only revealing his plans when he thinks she's going to die
There are crazy enfj villains pelle(midsommar), love quinn(you), oh ill nam(squid games), rose armitage(get out), wendy birde(ozark), lalo salamanca( better call saul)..
About the ESFJ example I think Mother Gothel from Tabgled can be a good one. She gave Rapunzel a mother figure by manipulation and basically use Rapunzels hair for her own youth
Constance langdon(american horror story) cassie (euphoria)
The INTP villain that came to mind for your description was Shou Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist.
That dude merged his own daughter with the family dog in a high-risk experiment solely for the sake of research.
A sick bastard just like frankenstein, dr jekyll, walter bishop, zeke yeager, gale boetticher, joseph lawrence...
The INTP villain is nothing more than the well known stereotype of the mad scientist. This type of villain is very interesting cause they don't do anything inherently bad, they're just too curious. But the INTP villain proves the best the importance of moral values cause they're specifically dangerous for the reason that they don't have any.
another example of an INTP villain while being more of an antagonist than a villain, i think Bondrewd deserves a mention, this guy not only experimented on countless homeless kids giving them “purpose” in his point of view to search for a way to traverse the abyss without being afflicted by the curse, he sacrificed HIMSELF just for the sake of research, he sacrificed his humanity and morality to become a white whistle and immortalizing his consciousness while descending to insanity just to be able to conduct his researches and save everyone from the 2000 years cycle thats about to come and guess what? He achieved so many things from tasteless bars that contain all the nutrients that you need to survive to AN ENTIRE PLACE LED BY HIM IN THE 5TH LAYER acting as a safe spot for raiders to settle in while also leading to the 6th layer (minus all the child experiments including child mutilation which by the way Bondrewd actually loved and cared for those children even remembering all of their names and hes done more things but the comment is already too long)
Also didnt Tucker just do that for the sake of his license i havent watched the anime but someone mentioned that
As an INTP who loves FMAB I just got shivers when I saw this
Such a fun video 😍 I feel Daenerys Targaryen is a good example of an INFP villain as well. And for INTJ, Madara Uchiha from the anime Naruto.
Daenerys is enfj..
Madara as INTJ? How about that black Zetso?
Wow, what a massively useful video! I'm a writer, and I have been having trouble defining what motivates my bad guys and what they want. So this video will tell me how to develop them in a logical, consistent manner. THANK YOU! --from an INFJ.
As an ENFJ I agree with the greater good villain analysis. I would happily debate views with others but when it comes to an argument I can be petty and persuasive.
Honestly one of the best and most comprehensive videos that he’s done.
Man, this got the stand up comedy vibe 😂 I love it 👍
When you were describing INFJ I was certain your example was going to be Wormtongue from The Lord of the Rings.
Ooo that’s a good one!!
That was my first thought too.
Also the way you describe INFJ villain perfectly fits the villain in Hercule Poirot’s last case, Curtain. I don’t say who that is, but worth a read if you’re INFJ. 😉📚
The villain in Curtain was the first INFJ villain I thought of, too. Agatha Christie really knew characters. Perhaps she was an INFJ.
You didn't see that villain coming.
i as tested and remained infj for 4yrs (yes i personality tested 4yrs ago) which i improved myself further... yes manipulating minds is one thing along with being... well... insanely crazy in a badass manner, (as per stated by others).
So i take that as a W for one being a manipulator, two for being a ghost, three for being capable of going loud if necessary
ISFP was so accurate you had me laughing out loud 🤣. “And if everyone else doesn’t like it…they’re WRONG!!!” I just said that to my brother yesterday 😂😂😂
yeah I can relate with that as well lol being a fellow ISFP XD
Mann I was hoping to see Megamind or Gru on the list somewhere!! Still a great video! I think the INFJ is probably super accurate lol
Ben Solo, also known as Kylo Ren, is another example of an ENFJ antagonist. Interestingly enough, the ENFJ is also known as the "Protagonist" in the NERIS Type Indicator, so Kylo Ren was a Protagonist Antagonist. Thankfully though, as Psychology Junkie author Marissa Baker put it, Ben Solo's "...desire and capacity for connection help bring him back to the Light."

Kylo Ren was INFP
Daenerys, morgana (merlin), lalo salamanca, wendy byrde, miranda tate are enfj villains..
@@afrosamourai400 people often state the Morgana was ENFJ I don't see it. I think she is an INFP. Her motivation is that she was hurt by Uther, Merlin and Arthur. In fact I think she only hates Arthur because Merlin and Uther cared about him and so he becomes her target to get at those two. She never uses her charm to convince someone to her side, she doesn't even try this with Gwen. Her duplicity is not the same as manipulation. She isn't really about the greater good for magic users either, she just wants revenge and the crown (possibly to feel safe). I don't feel she exhibits ENFJness in either her early season goodness or her villain arc. She is though badly written -- sadly --- which makes her inconsistent and difficult to type.
@@Miluielle it's been a longtime since i watched the show but i remember she cared about magicians alot and she opposed her father because he was persecuting magic users and she cared about the outcast and the servants..(fe) she had premonitions(ni)
My current favorite example of an ENFJ villain is from Attack on Titan
SPOILER
Floch Forster
For the INTP, you could also see one as someone who will learn the truth no matter what. They will do things that the people around them will tell them to stop because everyone else doesn’t value the truth as much as the INTP does.
Science by my personal definition is the pursuit of truth
White lily from cookie run kingdom
Lol I’m a intj and I never notice it but in subconsciously got so frustrated with humans that I shut myself out
Dude a series of books with a villain of every type would be so cool, kinda like Hetalia but for MBTI types lol
Might the Other Mother in Coraline be a good example of an ESFJ villain?
Yes! My sister is an ESFJ. She's very, very nice, almost smothering, until she's angry. Then get out of her way because she will eat you alive. 🤣
As an INTJ I have morals. I would only become a villan relative to another villan whether the general public agrees or not. To me, I am the good guy.
My take is Palpatine is an INFJ. He uses emotions to manipulate other people and events. In the books he has a field that manipulates large populations emotions. Most evident in the movies in the final battle of Endor. Part of the reason for the dramatic shift in the battle was his death caused this influence to be removed.
Palpatine had personal vendettas against specific characters (as you mentioned not really an INTJ thing). Notably Windu and Yoda.
His fighting style doesn't really gel with an INTJ either. His fighting style funnels dark emotions with raw passion (Would argue an Fe thing).
Additionally, the way he manipulates events is mostly through emotional appeal not logic. Demonstrated in method used to turn Anakin to the dark side.
INTJs aren't the only personality that can make long term plans.
A better example of an INTJ villain is Sauron from Middle Earth. The Eye of Sauron is a demonstration of willpower focused on a very specific area.
From the prequels, Palpatine made me think he was more extroverted. He became the Chancellor himself. He didn't let someone else play the part while he was pulling the strings or get thick with the dude and stage a coup at the right moment. INTJs are more like ninjas. We will step up and be a leader when we have to but we don't like the limelight. We might take credit but not glory.
Good argument. However, Palpatine could be an INTJ who is more in the middle on the thinking-feeling continuum, as opposed to being far to the thinky side.
I concur as an ISTP. When a villain monologues, I always scream "Why are you wasting your time! Just do your thing and gtfo of here before some upstart hero catches up to you!" in my mind.
from an enfj, Morgana Pendragon from the Merlin tv series is probably the most obvious example of an enfj villain from my perspective. Her goal is social justice focused, she does a lot of damage for the “greater good” and attempts to manipulate lots of useful people to support the cause.
She reminds me of daenerys..enfj social justice warriors is too predictable..vito corleone, wendy birde, lalo salamanca, Mcu mysterio are some non stereotypical enfj..
Also I love this for villain ideas in stories👌-Infp
Bellweather from Zootopia is an ESFJ twist villain: She uses her dominant Fe to seem unintimidating, approachable and level-headed, while her disciplined, detail-oriented Si runs the show. I side with ESFJ over ENFJ because she seems to like repetition and maintaining the status quo with a select changes over overhauling the system, or getting her own hands dirty like a Se user might.
Thanos? Loki is quite the quintessentially ENFJ villain.
I've seen Syndrome typed as both INFP AND ENTP, and honestly, ENFP makes the most sense. He's one of the few supervillains where I didn't agree with in the slightest, but could 100% understand where he came from.
Harley Quinn is a perfect ESFP villain example. Sid seems more ISxP.
ESTJ is Dolores Umbridge. And that was really interesting. I appreciated the examples. I write fiction, and always have trouble writing villains. Using personality types might be helpful. Also, I think being an INTJ helps we with writing. Not only do I need to be able to come up with the villain's scheme, and have it be smart enough to make sense; I then need to come up with an even better plan for the heroes to beat the villain.
Great video! As a writer with complex antagonists, you nailed each of them with their types, especially the ISFP.
For a great example of an ISTP villain I would look at Taskmaster from Marvel comics. He’s cunning, skilled, and focused on the job. He gets in and gets out, then collects his payment. He’s one of my all time fave villains, especially his portrayal in Ultimate Spider-Man.
Keep making great content as always!
Thank you so much for making this! Ever since I discovered the Myers-Briggs test, I wanted to know how that applied to the bad guys.
Johan Liebert, from the thriller anime, Naoki Urasawa’s Monster has to be the best INFJ villain I have seen.
Him shinobu sensui and itachi uchiha
INFP: ‘But it don’t matter because EMOTIONS’ - so accurate 😂
Im an INFP and Im a villian, yesterday I bought a bus ticket and then decided not to go.
Infj- hannibal lector in Hannibal as he gives a popper to mason verger knowing mason would cut up his own face
Ty for making chapters! It makes it way easier to understand and switch between parts of the videos
i think another great example of an ISTJ villain is Kira Yoshikage from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. As an ISTJ myself, i abhor and detest his moral compass but i admit that we quite resonate when it comes to caution, routine, structure, certainty, contingency plans, and even [strange] preferences or hobbies surprisingly (his murdering-hand fetish and my taxidermy hobby lol). He's also a very methodical/meticulous man, and has very strong inclinations to everything that's very much involved in his past hence his reluctance to change (he hates leaving Morioh), his desire for a private and peaceful life, and the fixed image he intends to display in public to avoid suspicion, pretty much a 'role model citizen' kind of image in order to exude an air of normalcy that'll reduce the chances of getting caught for more than a decade (worked quite well). This is also why i think ISTJs can make for a great and efficient notorious serial killer in pieces of fiction.
Is it worth it to watch that JoJo part only for him? He is an ISTJ 9w1 the same as me, quite a rare breed and I consider watching it just because of it, lol
@@azerim2039 i believe every part of JJBA is worth watching though yes a main villain's appearance like Kira's apparently made Part 4 gain more appreciation to other fans, lol you have the same enneagram as him. I'm an ISTJ 1w2 like Bruno Bucciarati in Golden Wind though.
@@neonangelsrequiem09 That's why I was talking about Enneagram and Kira. ISTJ 9w1 just don't really exist in media. In popular anime there are literally 3 of them:
- Rei in Evangelion (kind of)
- Kira in JoJo
- Langa in SK8
That's literally it. There are a bunch of ISTJ 1s and 6s but 9s are quite rare. Which is funny in a way because both ISTJs and 9s are some of the most common types by themselves.
@@azerim2039 yea an interesting dynamic actually, still flips me over. Kira himself as a villain noticeably lacks the typical 'ambition' or strong pursuits/passion that most villains have, just that he can manage to keep his routines especially his perverseness as i can see type 9 fueling his laid back side more. I'm least familiar with nines but i can imagine them actually being quite popular, given the characters you've mentioned.
Some examples for villains in different types:
INFP - Arthur Fleck "Joker"
INFJ - Adolf Hitler
ENFP - Harley Quinn
ENFJ - Oh Il-Nam
ISFP - Flint Marko "Sandman"
ISFJ - Max Dillon "Electro"
ESFP - Anakin Skywalker "Darth Vader"
ESFJ - Reiner Braun "Armored Titan"
INTP - Tomura Shigaraki
INTJ - Thanos
ENTP - Chris McLean
ENTJ - Light Yagami
ISTP - Zabuza Momochi
ISTJ - Illumi Zoldyck
ESTP - Venom
ESTJ - Draco Malfoy
Yes they are pretty random but I tried to put some pretty interesting people for each type so you can really see what motivates them to be villains.
There's no way Adolf Hitler is an INFJ 💀
Infj fictive villains: johan liebert, kuroro lucifer, amy dunne, shinobu sensui, peyton flanders, esther coleman, joe golberg...
You can keep the my hero academia reference. I'm taking L and Shikamaru back. 🥺
for ISFP it's gotta be Eren Yeager
@@cjmartinez8318 Read about Unhealthy Fe users
As an ISFJ, I know why I always win Clue.
Interesting. I'm an ENFP. I always, always, always win Clue. Then again, I *am* an actress....
As an ISTJ, I dont always win but I like playing the game, warms my heart to see it mentioned. Didnt know you all in North America call it simply Clue until now. Question though, what character do you all play as? I think mine is obvious lol
@@edi0157 I always play as Miss Scarlett.
@@ENFP7w8capranica makes sense. For me it is White of course, then Plum if White is somehow already taken
As INTP I have been researching people who have a lot of emotional package. INFP with emotional package was the sweetest and the most dangerous one haha. I am kind of my own enemy because I set myself in danger while following my interests. It's always a circus when I dig their deepest trauma. But I learned a lot. Also I was aware I was lacking some understanding about other people feelings and my own, so going super deep and super dark would help me to understand everything, and it worked. I understand so much more now, and there's so much more to find. Each person is different, and relationships are a circus anyway, even if you have a lot of knowledge. There is no right pattern to make it work, it works or it doesn't, you just do your best and that's it. The important thing is to know your needs and if they are met in your relationship, and ability to break up if necessary. Many people don't know much about themselves, so they do this crazy stuff to avoid certain feelings and refuse to learn. Anyway this was a long story, I hope someone understands what I mean if they have energy to read this haha.
Me in 2022: All about everything villainous, becoming one
Me in 2023: Learns I'm an INTJ/ENTJ hybrid.
Looks back at 2021 self: "Stupid girl, I should've known, should've known"
Ah - Now I have a guide to the dark side and actually succeed.
- INFP
Interesting to choose the most positive color to make a video of villains!
ENTJ are always the villains, could you please make a video of each of the personalities as protagonists. Great video btw!
Roy mustang is one of the few entj i like lol..
Thanks! This was really cool, and also helpful. I’m a writer, and this helped me analyze my own current villains. For instance, in my current two projects, I think I have one ENFJ and one ISTJ.
Side note: I am an INFJ (so Iago makes me squirm). But I also love learning more than anything. So if you tell me, “Don’t do that because it’s wrong,” that’s fine. But if you tell me, “You aren’t allowed to KNOW that,” then we may have a problem. That temptation is gonna be strong and let’s be real, walking away is gonna suck.
Brilliant vid, brilliantly timed!
I'm currently doing a big character focus in a story, and two of the antagonists have been doing my head in. One is an ENFJ, kind of a difficult villain to write in general but she does reflect basically what you said of ENFJs - so glad that one's on track. Her whole schtick is ideological extremism and isolating her in-group from the majority with the promise of greatness et al, with her key strength (and thus key weakness) being her ability to recruit skilled hands to do all the work.
The other I've been flipping back and forth between ENTP and ENTJ; he's contrary and does have elements of causing heck "just because", but ultimately he does have an end goal and will stop at nothing to achieve it rather than just chasing cars, so I think that's clarified a sticking point that's kept me going around in circles for ages. It does make more sense for Ni rather than Ne to come in swinging with this guy; he's trying to mold the world to his understanding, rather than trying to drink in every detail and tackle them all one after the other.
