Road Trip! 

“It takes practice to hear your true desires. Your passion will often come as a whisper or serendipitous event that reminds you of what’s important and what makes you happy.”

The Matrix MBTI

Neo [INTP: The Thinker]

Neo is skeptical by nature at the very beginning. He knows what isn’t real, but doesn’t imagine another version of life. He is never able to really tell you what he is certain about. That takes time. He makes many connections with his Ne and likes to find meaning in structures. It is why he is interested in uncovering the matrix and follows the rabbit hole for the truth. He enjoys knowledge, but for knowledge sake and isn’t interested in the use of what he discovers, just to learn and understand. His logic is very situational rather than perceptual. He needs to somehow be physically involved to sort out patterns. His inferior Fe makes it hard for him to fit into any social systems or roles naturally. He isn’t about being in any system and this is the very thing that helps make him “the one” to subvert The Matrix (a system) and to manipulate it.

Trinity [ISFJ: The Defender]

Trinity is great at implementing a plan of doing the work, the action, but isn’t an idealist or visionary. However, Si makes her personally involved in whatever she chooses to serve or work for, or because of her Fe, whoever she chooses to work for. She is alert to the emotional attitudes of those she cares about (Neo and Morhpeus).  She focuses on their goals and is loyal to her core to help them reach them. Trinity doesn’t see the work she does as work nor does she notice the time she sacrifices from her own life and self-interest in order to help the people she cares for. She feels utterly justified in her actions and can be stubborn once she is determined on a certain path. 

Morpheus [INFJ: The Protector]

Morpheus uses his Fe in order to always find common ground with others, especially when trying to convince them of his Ni vision. We see this in his ability to suavely and at a good pace convince Neo that his reality is nothing he thinks it is. We also, see this in how he interacts with other captains, the commander, and others. It is clearly secondary Fe, as he is a listener and restrains from speaking first or too much. Morpheus isn’t looking for just an intellectual challenge like an INTJ, but craves meaning in the work he does to bring peace to humanity. His romantic INFJ nature is what makes him hard for some to follow. He doesn’t deal in the explicit but in gestures, signs, stories, and symbols. It is what isn’t said that can be more important to Morpheus. Like all INFJs he is crushed when the symbols, stories, and signs he truly believes in turn out to be false (aka Neo and the rumor of “The One”). 

Agent Smith [ESTJ: The Guardian]

Agent Smith deals in conceptual step-by-step logic. He craves order and a system for everyone to have a place, a purpose. The chaotic is something he fears and struggles to grapple with, which is interesting as he being a rouge program goes against that very form of thinking. We watch as this ESTJ deals with a possible loss of purpose and tries to continue his role when no longer really part of the system. We see a great example of tertiary Ne being in conflict with Te mentality with Agent Smith. His Ne is chaotic and imbalanced and can lead him to just see the flaws in humanity and react with his Te thinking only he is the one who can truly manage and control them. He is so blinded he doesn’t see the hypocrisy of his own new free-will being contrary to the very system he wants to control. This is in part contributed to his inferior Fi, his inability to see his own individuality and emotions. 

I love the sunflowers! :D
