39+ Harry Potter MBTI types (Full overview)

In this article, we are going to describe 40 Harry Potter MBTI types. If you are curious which MBTI type your favourite character is, keep reading. 

What are the MBTI types?

Isabel Briggs Myers, along with her mother Katharine Briggs, developed Jung’s theories, obtaining a methodology and system that can be implemented to understand and evaluate each person’s favourite personality and behaviour.

Together with the other personality theories and psychometric models, the MBTI model has a special utility for:

– understanding and self-development

– understanding and developing others

– understanding the motivation of others

– understanding the strengths and weaknesses of others

– teamwork – ensuring the representation of all relevant and necessary skills

– allocation and acceptance of tasks and projects

– accepting roles and development together with others and for oneself.

Myers Briggs theory and the MBTI model are not a measure of intelligence, competence, emotional state, mental stability or maturity and should be used with great care to assess aptitudes for a particular profession. 

People have at hand multiple ways to practice a profession, and the MBTI model does not provide clues about commitment, determination, passion, experience, ambition, experience, etc. nor does it highlight cases of `type forgery`. All of these have a much greater influence on success than a simple personality test.

Measuring and categorizing a person’s personality or behavioural style according to their preferences – one from each of the four scales (E-I, S-N, T-F, J-P), the MBTI system forms 16 main types, each type being represented by a four-letter code.

Harry Potter, by J. K. Rowling

You can’t help but love Harry’s story and remain impassive in the face of such a world full of fantastic beings and places, which impress with their words, actions and gestures. 

The feature which J. K. Rowling has given to these treasures, and which would be a plus to read, refers to a rarity which is reflected in the first line of the first volume. “Harry Potter is not for children, teenagers or adults. It’s for everyone! ”

With Rowling’s help, you can join Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, Plesmeală, Hagrid, learn spells, potions, discover secrets that will be “buried” and forgotten, and you make deadly enemies. Dead, but also reliable friends. 

At each new adventure, you are heartbroken, you laugh, you cry, you fall in love and you learn to hate your whole being. All this for seven books, and for those who read them, seven years full of witchcraft, magic and unique experiences with the characters you met, lost in a moment and regained.

J.K. Through the “Harry Potter” series, Rowling forms whole generations of readers who, with the completion of the first volume, discover that “Hogwarts will always be here to welcome you!”. 

In the second volume they will realize the true power of the enemy, in the third, they will regain long-lost ties, in the fourth, they will acquire new qualities and friends, in the fifth, they will have to learn to lose something dear, in the sixth they will have to make choices that they will change destiny, and in the end, they will learn that good, whatever the situation, WINS, but first, “you just have to remember to turn on the light.”
