Anakin Skywalker - Why is he never catagorized as INFJ

It's really interesting because I tested as an INFJ (though it was close to INFP) and I've always thought I was like Anakin Skywalker (episodes 2-3) and not like Obi-wan. Now, I haven't read any additional fiction, but based on the films there are a lot of similarities with Anakin.

The funny thing is that most people never catogirze him as INFJ. I've even seen almost the exact oposite.

But Obi-wan-- I've seen him catagorized as INFJ (and Luke too).

But again, I don't see myself as similar to Obi-Wan. I see myself more like Anakin.

Similarities to Anakin:

• A bit of a loner
• Deals with emotions of fear, anger, loneliness, and regret
• Can easily feel unappreciated or even betrayed by others
• acts on emotions (mostly dark & negative)
• person of action
• Rebelious
• Serious
• Obsessive
• Kind of a spaz

And differences from both Obi-Wan

• I do not have a whole of resolve; am often unsure of decisions
• I do not behave calm and cool most of the time
• I am not near as rational
• I am not able to have that light sense of humor that he has in intense situations.

So, Looking at that, it sure seems like I am a lot more like Anakin than Obi-wan. But how can this be if I have tested as INFJ and Obi-Wan is usually catagoried closer to that.



Btw, this is about me, Anakin, and Obi-wan. I want to figure out all three. If Anakin is definitely not INFJ, I want to know why.

 

That's surprising. With a bunch of other IN's here, I would have thought interesting topics like this come up all the time.

 

So you'd say I am an emotional introvert with unique combinations of S,N,J, and P? I guess that's something I picked up on about myself.

What I'm curious about though is Fe vs Fi. This is from socionics right? If I understand correctly, socionics treats these things differently from MBTI, correct?

Personally, socionics seems more accurate and makes less assumptions, but I still can't find a type in there that fits me perfectly.

So yeah, if you could explain the different between Fe and Fi, that would be great.

And secondly, you say that being a person of action is SP, but why? I am a person of action because I like to take care of things that bother me. I don't want to be passive when there is something that needs to be done.

Although I am careful and do think before doing stuff, I do irrational things when I get impatient. I take action when I really should just relax and let the problem work itself out.

I also tend to be very confrontational with people I know, but if I don't know the person I usually restrain myself. I'm shy.

As far as more physical action...I don't really know what I'd do. It'd be easier to know if I lived in the Star Wars Universe. As it is, I feel like I don't get many opportunities to take physical action. I mean, how often do people need to run, jump, and physically fight? It's mostly done in sports, and I never got into sports. I run and do weight-training to stay fit and strong, but it doesn't really affect my life.

So does my lack of interest in sports mean that I'm not into physical action? I suppose it depends on my reasons, huh? Well for one, I was never physically fit as a child or teenager, so I never really considered it an option. Another reason might be that I didn't see a point. I didn't see a purpose, and I like to do things that have some kind of purpose, whether it is completely practical or not. So, I usually stray away from things that are simply fun.

So...there you go. Any comments on any of this?

 

Well I'm thinking he may not really fit clearly in one of these types. I mean think about it....there's only 16! I don't seem to fit into one of them either.



Kinda depressing. Excuse me while I retreat into a dark room, think about my life, and just brood for a while as I accumulate anger, then try to fight the anger, and then get even more angry.

I'm also gonna go listen to Linkin Park...I want to find Somewhere I Belong.
