Logic meets genius! Explore the minds of the NT strategists (Thinkers & Intuitives).

  • INTP and INTP: These analytical thinkers (NT) often gravitate towards strategy games that require complex planning and problem-solving. They might enjoy:
    • Turn-based strategy games: Civilization series, XCOM series
    • Real-time strategy games: StarCraft series, Age of Empires series
    • Puzzle games: Portal series, The Witness

The Creative Story Seekers (NF Types):

  • ENFP and ENTP: These imaginative souls (NF) crave engaging narratives and immersive worlds. They might enjoy:
    • RPGs (Role-Playing Games): The Witcher series, Dragon Age series
    • Open-world adventure games: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Red Dead Redemption 2
    • Narrative-driven games: Life is Strange series, What Remains of Edith Finch

The Practical Doers (S Types):

  • ISTP and ISFP: These action-oriented individuals (S) prefer games that emphasize skill, reflexes, and hands-on action. They might enjoy:
    • First-person shooters: Call of Duty series, Halo series
    • Platformers: Super Mario Odyssey, Celeste
    • Action-adventure games: Uncharted series, God of War series

The Supportive Team Players (SJ Types):

  • ISTJ and ISFJ: These detail-oriented individuals (SJ) might enjoy games that offer clear goals, progression systems, and opportunities for teamwork. They might enjoy:
    • MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games): World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV
    • Simulation games: Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing
    • Co-operative games: Overcooked 2, It Takes Two

Remember: these are just tendencies! Here's why MBTI isn't a definitive guide:

  • Individual Preferences: People within each type can have diverse gaming interests. An INTP might love a good story-driven RPG, while an ENFP might enjoy competitive online shooters.
  • Genre Overlap: Many games can appeal to multiple MBTI preferences. A strategy game might also have a rich narrative (e.g., Disco Elysium) or a first-person shooter might require puzzle-solving skills (e.g., Bioshock).
  • Gaming with Others: Social aspects can influence game choice. An ISTJ who wouldn't normally play an RPG might join their ENFJ friend in exploring a fantastical world.

So, how can you leverage MBTI to enhance your gaming experience?

  • Explore Your Type's Tendencies: Understanding your MBTI preferences can help you discover new genres you might enjoy.
  • Step Outside Your Comfort Zone: Don't be afraid to try games outside your typical preferences. You might discover a hidden gem!
  • Find Your Tribe: Connect with other gamers who share your MBTI type and gaming interests for a more enriching experience.

Ultimately, the best games are the ones that bring you joy and challenge you. Use MBTI as a tool for exploration, but keep an open mind and embrace the fun and creativity that the gaming world has to offer!

The ENFJ believes that it is his responsibility to raise his children to be good.
