Here’s The Fantasy Hero You’d Be, Based on Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

Ever thought about who you’d become in an epic fantasy world? Would you be the fearless warrior, the wise guide, the dreamer with a heart of gold or the steadfast friend? Let’s dive into some iconic fantasy heroes and find your personality match.

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter Series) – ESTJ

"I’m hoping to do some good in the world!"

ESTJ, you’re Hermione Granger to the core. With a sharp mind and serious work ethic, you’re the “get things done” hero. As an MBTI® practitioner, I’ve worked with plenty of ESTJs over the years. One thing they all seem to share is an incredible drive to accomplish big goals and solve real problems. People can count on you to follow through, even if everyone else flakes.

In a fantasy world, you’d be the one who’s already mapped out the mission before the other heroes even know what’s going on. Need a potion mixed? You’ve read every book on herbology. Enemy on the horizon? You’ve double-checked the castle defenses and have a backup plan. You’re a one-person operations team, ready to tackle any challenge with a level of organization that others can’t help but envy.

I’ll never forget working with one ESTJ client who ran a nonprofit. She showed up to our first session with a spreadsheet of her strengths and weaknesses, and she’d already mapped out a growth plan with clear personal goals that she wanted to achieve, along with a timeline. She was all about the details and came up with questions no one had ever thought to ask. Like her, Hermione wouldn’t just “lead a mission”; she’d have contingency plans, annotated footnotes and an emergency backup bag (probably with snacks, just in case). You’re practical, resourceful and unafraid to tackle any problem head-on, which makes you the ultimate hero everyone wants on their team.

Samwise Gamgee (The Lord of the Rings) – ISFJ

"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you."

ISFJ, you’re Samwise Gamgee, the hero who embodies loyalty, kindness and warmth. Like Sam, you may not seek the spotlight, but you’re taking care of dozens of details that often go under the radar. In my experience with ISFJs, I’ve seen that they do far more than people realize, but they do it in a modest way that doesn’t shout “look at how great I am!” Samwise is like that.

When the journey gets tough—and let’s be honest, it usually does in a fantasy setting—you’re the one checking in to make sure everyone’s okay. You’ll also be reminding everyone of ways they’ve overcome similar hardships in the past. But you don’t just provide words of encouragement; you’re down in the trenches, doing the hard work right alongside everyone else.

In a world of unpredictable quests and dangerous challenges, your reliability can make or break a mission. You’re the one who packs the provisions, remembers the first-aid kit and brings that little touch of home to the journey. You understand that the small comforts matter. I once knew an ISFJ who kept emergency snacks on hand for her friends because she knew someone would always forget. You’d be just like that in a fantasy world—ready with a comforting word, a spare blanket or even a handy dandy poh-tay-to. You’re bringing all the essentials (yes, potatoes are essential) that no one else thought to bring.

But don’t let anyone mistake your kindness for weakness. Like Sam, you’re braver than people realize. When push comes to shove, you stand up for what you believe in and protect those who need it. If anyone threatens your friends or crosses a line, you’re right there, ready to defend them with every ounce of strength you have. Sam’s courage in the face of orcs and dark forces is exactly the kind of quiet bravery ISFJs embody. You don’t look for fights, but when something matters, you won’t back down.

Olaf (Frozen) – ESFJ

"Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"

If you’re an ESFJ, you bring the warmth, joy and positive energy of Olaf to every situation. People love you because, well, you love people—and it shows. You’re the hero who cares deeply about the team, and you’ve got a sixth sense for knowing when someone needs a little extra support or encouragement. I’ve seen this time and again with ESFJ clients. They walk into the room and immediately tune into everyone’s vibe, ready to offer help, share a laugh or make sure everyone’s comfortable. You’re the kind of person who’d bring blankets on a dragon-slaying quest, just in case the team gets chilly.

Like Olaf, you’re genuinely curious about others, and you bring people together in a way that makes everyone feel valued. If there’s a hero gathering, you’re the one organizing it and checking in on everyone. You’d probably make sure the campfire’s roaring and that everyone’s had enough to eat before starting any battle plans. In my work with ESFJs, I’ve seen how effortlessly they bring people together, making any group feel like family.

But don’t let your warm, caring nature fool anyone into thinking you’re a pushover. ESFJs have a rock-solid sense of loyalty and can be incredibly brave when it matters. Like Olaf, who fearlessly faces every challenge despite being, well, a snowman, you dive into difficulties to protect the people you care about. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one facing down goblins or wading into battle for your friends. It’s not about glory; it’s about making sure everyone makes it out as a team.

Erwin Smith (Attack on Titan) – ENTJ

"My Soldiers, Rage! My Soldiers, Scream! My Soldiers, Fight!"

ENTJ, you are Erwin Smith—the bold commander who makes people believe in the impossible. In a fantasy world, you wouldn’t just be the leader; you’d be the strategist, the visionary, the one rallying the troops with a speech so powerful even the dragons would stop to listen. You’re not afraid to take risks or make tough calls, and that’s a position many people can’t handle.

Erwin’s ability to plan 12 steps ahead and inspire devout loyalty is peak ENTJ energy. You’d be the one saying, “Yes, we’re outnumbered, and yes, that’s a literal mountain of giants ready to attack—but trust me, this is exactly where we want them.” People don’t just follow you because you have a plan (though they always know you have a plan); they follow you because you radiate confidence and purpose.

But while you are a master of strategy and execution, you also wrestle with the weight of your decisions. Like Erwin, who carried the burden of making huge sacrifices for humanity’s survival, you don’t take your leadership lightly. That ability to make the hard choices? It’s what makes you so effective—but it’s also what makes you human. I’ve seen ENTJs struggle with this same tension: the clash between their drive to achieve big goals and the emotional toll of those goals on themselves and others. It’s what makes you a hero people admire—not just for your brains and bravery, but for your heart.

And let’s talk about that heart for a second. Yes, you’re a strategic mastermind, but you’re not some cold-hearted robot. Like Erwin, who put humanity’s survival above his own personal dream, you care deeply—even if you don’t always show it.

So what kind of fantasy hero would you be? You’d be the commander who stands at the front of the charge, not because it’s safe, but because it’s right. You’d inspire people to reach heights they didn’t think possible. And even when the odds feel stacked against you, you’d keep going—not for the glory, but because you know the world needs someone willing to make the hard calls.

Aragorn (The Lord of the Rings) – ISTJ

"I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor."

ISTJ, you are Aragorn—steadfast, dependable and quietly courageous. Like Aragorn, you have an unshakable sense of duty and a loyalty that runs deep. You’re the hero who may not always seek the spotlight but who shows up and does the hard work anyway, no matter the cost. I’ve seen this quality again and again in ISTJs I’ve worked with; they aren’t interested in fanfare or flattery—they’re interested in doing what’s right without drawing a lot of attention to themselves. You’re the kind of person who would willingly march into Mordor if it meant protecting the people you care about.

In a fantasy world, you’d be the quiet leader who knows the terrain, keeps the supplies organized, and makes sure everyone’s safe. You’re practical, steady and focused on the task at hand. You’d probably have a map marked with every detail, emergency rations (for everyone), and a backup plan for when things get messy. ISTJs don’t go into anything unprepared, and that’s exactly why everyone relies on you. Like Aragorn leading the Fellowship, you’re always thinking two steps ahead, ready to tackle any obstacle with a calm, rational mind.

And while you may not be the most talkative hero, you don’t need to be. When you speak, your words carry weight. Like Aragorn, you choose your words carefully, and people listen because they know you mean what you say. You’d be the hero everyone turns to for a clear-headed, realistic perspective, for the kind of wisdom that doesn’t waver. In a fantasy realm, you’re the rock, the guide, the one who endures even when others falter.

Professor X (The X-Men Series) – ENFJ

"There's so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There's good, too. I felt it. And when you can access all of that, you'll possess a power no one can match.”

ENFJ, you are Professor Charles Xavier—a natural leader with an unshakable belief in people’s potential and a vision for a better future. In a fantasy world, you’d be the hero who brings together unlikely allies, inspiring them to work as a team and see the greatness within themselves. You’re the glue that holds the group together and, let’s be honest, without you, they’d probably be lost—or arguing about which road to take.

Professor X’s ability to connect with people on a deep level is quintessential ENFJ. You’re the one who sees the good in everyone, even when others only see flaws. I’ve known so many ENFJs who have this uncanny knack for knowing exactly what someone needs to hear—whether it’s encouragement, a pep talk, or a gentle (but firm) reminder to stay on track. Like Professor X, you’re all about unlocking people’s potential and showing them what they’re capable of, even when they doubt themselves.

But your powers don’t stop at emotional insight. ENFJs like you have big dreams and an even bigger drive to make them a reality. You’re the strategist who balances compassion with practicality, much like Professor X creating a safe haven for mutants while also navigating political minefields. In a fantasy world, you’d be the wise leader setting up alliances, defusing conflicts and mentoring the next generation of heroes.

Elphaba (Wicked) – INTJ

“It’s people who claim that they’re good ... that you have to be wary of.”

INTJ, you are Elphaba—the brilliant, misunderstood anti-hero who refuses to settle for a broken system. In a fantasy world, you’d be the quiet force uncovering corruption, solving problems and strategizing a plan to fix the chaos while others are still arguing over who’s in charge. Like Elphaba, you’re not afraid to challenge authority or stand alone if that’s what it takes to make real change. You’ve got no patience for small talk or superficiality when there’s important work to be done.

Elphaba’s sharp intellect and unrelenting focus are true INTJ. You see connections and patterns where others don’t, and you’re always three steps ahead of the game. I’ve worked with INTJs who bring this same level of drive, like one client who spearheaded a massive overhaul at their company even though everyone else was resisting the change. They didn’t care about ruffling feathers—they cared about results. That’s you: a trailblazer who does what’s necessary, not what’s popular (sorry, Glinda).

But let’s not forget your wit and sharp humor. Like Elphaba, you have a knack for calling out nonsense with a biting one-liner that leaves people stunned—and maybe a little impressed. Sure, not everyone gets you right away, but those who take the time to know you see your fiercely protective and compassionate side. Beneath your no-nonsense exterior is someone who deeply cares about justice and fairness, even if you don’t always wear your heart on your sleeve.

At the end of the day, you’re the hero who proves that true courage lies in standing up for what’s right—even when it costs you. Like Elphaba defying gravity, you push boundaries, challenge expectations, and show the world that real strength is in conviction and action. Fantasy worlds—and real ones—are better because of you.

Dean Winchester (Supernatural) – ESTP

"Demons I get. People are crazy."

ESTP, you are Dean Winchester—the bold, resourceful hero who always finds a way to win, even when the odds are stacked against him. In a fantasy world, you’d be the warrior charging headfirst into danger with a smirk on your face and a clever plan in your back pocket. You thrive in the chaos, adapting on the fly and turning even the worst situations into opportunities.

Like Dean, you bring a no-nonsense approach to life, but that doesn’t mean you don’t care deeply. Beneath the swagger and sarcasm is someone fiercely loyal to their team. I’ve seen this with ESTPs I’ve worked with—they’ll tease you relentlessly one minute and have your back in the next. That mix of charm, grit and quick thinking? That’s your superpower.

Dean’s ability to improvise and take action under pressure is one of the ESTP’s greatest strengths. You’re not the type to overthink or get bogged down in endless debates. Instead, you act. Whether it’s outsmarting a demon, hotwiring a car or talking your way out of trouble, you’re always ready to conquer the unexpected—and somehow look cool while doing it.

At the heart of it all, though, you’re not just about the thrill of the fight. Like Dean, who shoulders the weight of protecting his family and the world, you care more than you let on. Your courage isn’t just about charging into battle—it’s about protecting what matters most, no matter the cost. You’re the hero who reminds everyone that sometimes, the best way to save the day is to roll up your sleeves, crack a joke and get to work.

Aslan (The Chronicles of Narnia) – INFJ

"Courage, dear heart."

INFJ, you are Aslan—the wise, compassionate guide who inspires others to be their best selves. In a fantasy world, you’d be the hero who knows exactly what someone needs to hear to find their inner strength. Like Aslan, you have a quiet but undeniable presence that draws people to you. You bring a sense of hope, potential, and gentle knowing to seemingly dire situations.

As an INFJ, you have a gift for understanding what lies beneath the surface, helping others navigate their struggles while keeping your eyes fixed on a higher goal. You’re the kind of person who wouldn’t just lead the quest but would make sure every member of the group grows and learns along the way. After all, they don’t call you ‘The Counselor’ for nothing!

But don’t mistake your gentleness for weakness. Like Aslan, you are fiercely protective of the people and values you care about. When the stakes are high, your quiet resolve becomes an unshakable force. You may not seek the spotlight, but when it’s time to take a stand, you do so with a strength and conviction that makes an impression.  Your courage isn’t about flashiness; it’s about standing firm in what you believe, even when the odds seem impossible.

In the end, you’re the hero who brings light to the darkest of places. Like Aslan sacrificing himself for a child or leading the charge against the White Witch, you show others what it means to love fiercely, lead wisely, and fight for what matters most. Your presence transforms those around you, and the world is always better for having you in it.

Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) – ESFP

"There’s only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil, and that’s us."

ESFP, you are Buffy Summers—in a fantasy world, you’d be the one slaying monsters by day and organizing dance parties by night. In doing so, you’d show everyone that even in the darkest times, life is worth celebrating. You’re the hero who turns danger into opportunity, bringing optimism and energy to every challenge.

Like Buffy, you have a powerful ability to connect with people and make them feel seen. As an ESFP, you’re the heart of the group—the one who makes everyone laugh but also reminds them why the fight matters. That ability to make people feel alive again? It’s one of your greatest talents. You know how to stay present in the moment, fight for what you believe and crack a few jokes at the same time.

But let’s not underestimate your strength. Like Buffy, you’re not just here to entertain—you’re here to win. You might be underestimated because of your fun-loving nature but, when the chips are down, you’re the first to dive into the fray. Your courage isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. You face challenges head-on, not because they’re easy, but because you refuse to back down from what’s right. You’re driven by your values, by what you feel in your heart is right, even if other people don’t always get it.

In the end, you’re the hero who proves that joy and resilience go hand in hand. Like Buffy taking down vampires with a witty quip and an impressive roundhouse kick, you show the world that bravery isn’t just about fighting monsters—it’s about living fully and loving fiercely, even in the face of chaos.

Jon Snow (Game of Thrones) – ISFP

"I swore a vow to the night’s watch. If I don’t take my own word seriously, what sort of Lord of Winterfell would I be?”

ISFP, you are Jon Snow—the loyal, introspective hero who follows their heart, even when the path ahead is unclear. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one standing up for what’s right, driven by a strong moral compass and a quiet but powerful sense of purpose. Like Jon, you don’t seek glory or recognition; you’re motivated by your values and a need to protect the people you care about.

What sets you apart is your emotional depth. Like Jon, who struggles with the weight of his responsibilities and the pain of difficult choices, you feel things deeply. That doesn’t make you weak—it makes you human. Your emotional strength and compassion are your lifeblood, allowing you to connect with others and stand up for what’s right in the face of adversity. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one reminding everyone of what they’re fighting for, even when the odds feel insurmountable.

And as an ISFP, you’re also in tune with the environment around you. You don’t just feel deeply, you harness all your senses to respond to unexpected crises and protect others. Being present and responsive in the moment is your natural mode of existing, which allows you to be observant and attentive when others are panicking.

In the end, you’re the hero who shows that true strength lies in vulnerability and authenticity. Like Jon Snow, who wrestles with self-doubt but never stops doing what’s right, you inspire others through your actions and your heart. Your quiet courage and strong sense of purpose make you a beacon of hope in even the darkest times.

Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher) – ISTP

"Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling. Makes no difference."

ISTP, you are Geralt of Rivia—the pragmatic, fiercely independent hero who thrives on action, resourcefulness and solving problems no one else dares to tackle. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one who’s already assessed the threat, prepared the traps, and casually dealt with the monster while everyone else was still debating strategy. Like Geralt, you don’t overthink; you act.

Geralt’s story is the epitome of ISTP energy. He grew up honing his skills at Kaer Morhen, navigating life as a witcher who takes on the jobs no one else will touch. You have that same sharp adaptability and calmness under pressure. I’ve worked with ISTPs who are the go-to people when things go sideways. They’re the ones who will MacGyver a solution out of duct tape and sheer ingenuity.

And let’s not forget the dry humor. Geralt’s ability to diffuse tense situations with a sarcastic quip or a pointed observation? That’s quintessential ISTP. You have a knack for cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of the matter, often with a touch of wit that leaves everyone either chuckling or mildly insulted. (Probably both.)

In the end, you’re the hero who doesn’t seek glory but gets the job done anyway. Like Geralt, who walks the line between mercenary and protector, you relish freedom, action and living life on your own terms. You’re the one people call when the situation is bleak, because they know you’ll handle it—calmly, efficiently and with a look that says, “Really? This was your plan?”

Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones) – ENTP

"I drink and I know things."

ENTP, you are Tyrion Lannister—the quick-witted hero who turns even the bleakest situations into opportunities. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one outsmarting, outtalking, and somehow winning every debate, even when you probably shouldn’t. Like Tyrion, your mind is your greatest weapon, and you wield it expertly.

You’re not afraid to question authority, challenge norms, or throw a curveball into a conversation just to see where it goes. In my experience, ENTPs are the ones who can debate five sides of an issue and still have energy to spare. Like Tyrion, you’re a master of strategy, using your charm and wit to maneuver through life’s challenges (and occasionally getting yourself into trouble for the fun of it). And even though you may seem to be all about improvisation, you’ve often thought five steps ahead of everyone else, spotting patterns and gauging potential outcomes.

At the end of the day, you’re the hero who proves that brains and bravery go hand in hand. Like Tyrion navigating the chaos of Westeros, you find joy in complexity, turning obstacles into opportunities and making people laugh along the way. Whether you’re plotting alliances or delivering a biting one-liner, you’re always three steps ahead—and maybe sipping a glass of wine at the same time.

Coraline (Coraline) – INFP

"I’m not scared! Who’s scared? Not me!"

INFP, you are Coraline—the curious, imaginative hero who explores worlds others wouldn’t dare to enter. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one wandering into hidden realms, uncovering eerie secrets, and forging alliances with talking cats. Like Coraline, you’re not just curious—you’re determined. You’ll brave the weird and the wild, fueled by your inner moral compass and a touch of stubbornness that refuses to back down. After all, you like things a bit weird, don’t you?

Coraline’s mix of creativity and courage is peak INFP energy. You’re someone who can see the potential in even the strangest situations—whether it’s befriending your eccentric next-door neighbors or figuring out how to outsmart a sinister, soul-stealing Other Mother. And like Coraline, you have a fierce passion to do what’s right. Even when she falters and her world becomes scarier and scarier, she tells herself to be brave, because her heart demands it of her. “You don’t frighten me,” you might say to yourself, even though you are afraid. But even in the face of fear, you have to follow what you believe is right.

And one of the things that makes you the most lovable is your quirks. Like Coraline, who packs sass into every argument, you’re not above throwing a little sarcasm into the mix when life gets overwhelming. You might start your heroic journey with a few grumbles—maybe even a dramatic why does it always have to be me moment—but when push comes to shove, you step up. Even if you’re armed with nothing but a key, a lucky stone, and a talking cat.

In the end, you’re the hero who proves that courage and kindness can outmatch even the creepiest villains. Like Coraline returning to face the Other Mother to save her parents, you show that bravery isn’t about being fearless—it’s about doing what’s right, even when it’s terrifying.

Hiccup (How to Train Your Dragon) – INTP

"This is Berk. It’s 12 days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death."

INTP, you are Hiccup—a curious, inventive hero who thrives on solving problems with logic, creativity and a touch of unintentional chaos. In a fantasy world, you wouldn’t just tame the dragon—you’d build a detailed schematic on how to improve its flight dynamics, complete with a lecture on aerodynamics for anyone who’d listen. Like Hiccup, you’re the one who questions traditions and dares to ask, “But what if there’s a better way?”

Hiccup’s knack for rethinking old systems and inventing new ones is 100% INTP. You’re the type of person who’d spend hours tinkering with a gadget to make it perfect—or accidentally dismantle it while trying to understand how it works. That relentless curiosity defines Hiccup, who didn’t just accept that dragons were the enemy but set out to understand them—turning everything his village believed on its head.

But let’s be honest: sometimes your ideas are so ahead of their time that people don’t know what to do with them—or with you. Like Hiccup, who was seen as a misfit in Berk, you might feel out of place in a world that values quick answers over deep thought. But here’s the thing: your willingness to question the status quo is what makes you such an extraordinary hero. You’re not afraid to follow your ideas, even if they lead you off the beaten path (or, in Hiccup’s case, straight into the jaws of a Night Fury).

In the end, you’re the hero who shows that intellect and curiosity can change the world. Like Hiccup building a bridge between dragons and humans, you prove that being different isn’t a flaw—it’s a strength. You might stumble along the way, but when you finally piece everything together, the result is nothing short of revolutionary.

Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – ENFP

"When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change."

ENFP, you are Aang—the adventurous hero who sees the world as an endless playground of possibilities. In a fantasy world, you’d be the one gliding on an air scooter or befriending dragons while everyone else is sharpening swords. Like Aang, you live for connection, exploration, and finding creative solutions to even the toughest challenges.

Aang’s boundless curiosity and zest for life are classic ENFP traits. You crave new experiences, whether it’s meeting fascinating people or riding an otter penguin (let’s be honest, you’d totally do that). I’ve worked with ENFPs who have this same joyful energy—they’re the ones planning spontaneous road trips or making friends with the barista before the coffee even cools. But don’t let that carefree vibe fool anyone; like Aang, you have a deeper side. Beneath all the fun, there’s a fierce desire to make the world a better place.

That mix of playfulness and idealism makes you a hero people can’t help but root for. Like Aang, who fought to end a century-long war without losing his core values, you believe in solving problems with empathy rather than force. Sure, your tendency to take off on detours might frustrate your companions (I once had an ENFP friend whose “quick stop” at a bookstore turned into a two-hour adventure), but it’s also what makes you so uniquely you. You see beauty and opportunity in places others overlook.

Ultimately, you’re the hero who reminds everyone that hope, kindness and a little bit of fun can change the world. Like Aang mastering all four elements and choosing peace over violence, you show that strength comes in many forms. Whether you’re flying through the skies or building bridges between people, you bring a sense of wonder and optimism that leaves everyone better for having known you.
