In relation to my MBTI posts, here we have an ENFP and an INTJ. 

The ENFP’s imagination is running wild with ideas and new possibilities, and the INTJ is like, “Well, let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Also, this is one of the many iconic pieces of dialogue between the two of them.

MBTI Typing Nancy Drew Characters - Joe Hardy

Joe! I love him so much. He’s an creative, fun, ball of energy. I love him. I know, redundant to say that again, but it’s true. I love him. And I type him as an ENFP.

One of the key traits of an ENFP is their very active imagination. Joe Hardy has one of the most active imaginations of all the characters in the Nancy Drew games. “Tear down the velvet ropes standing in the way of your word-magination!” If that doesn’t explain his imagination, I don’t know what will. He also shows this imagination with his love for believing in ghosts when Frank is an obvious skeptic. He doesn’t let his skeptic brother get in the way of that amazing imagination of his. I don’t think anyone could, to be honest.

Another trait of ENFPs is a tendency toward mood swings. We see this a bit during TRN, when Joe can go from happy-go-lucky to hating on Tino Balducci in about 1.6 seconds. Another common trait would be their overall abundance of energy. Joe is... Extremely energetic. And he puts it to good use, too.

With their Fi function, ENFPs tend to make their decisions based more on their feeling than with their thinking. For example, when Frank is making all these logical reasons for everything in a more realistic sense than imaginative, Joe goes with what his gut tells him and goes toward letting his emotions guide him through decision making. 

One trait he shares with Frank, who I’ve typed at INTJ, is he’s good at recognizing patterns. He and Frank have done lots of case and at some points, Joe acknowledges similar patterns in both theirs and Nancy’s cases. And one thing I’ve seen is a lot of people branding Joe as not as smart as Frank, but he is definitely as smart as him, just in different ways. That’s why they work so well together and make the dream team.

Another thing I’d like to point out is the wonderful relationship between ENFPs and INTJs. I mentioned it with Frank’s typing, so I won’t go into too much detail. ENFPs and INTJs are both opposites and very alike. They have more opposite energies, ENFPs being extremely energetic and INTJs being more reserved, but they both tend to use their intuition a lot. They also have this wonderful dynamic that is great for hilarity and teamwork. If you want to read more about it, I’d recommend checking out Frank’s typing here.

In conclusion, I love Joe and he is most definitely an ENFP.

This information was gathered using both research and personal experiences with ENFPs (my younger sister mainly)

MBTI Typing Nancy Drew Characters - Frank Hardy

Frank! My man! I love him so much. One of the most relatable characters in the series. With all I know about him, through both games and the books, I am going to say he’s an INTJ.

INTJs are known for being the “stone-cold masterminds”. While this sometimes can be true to those who don’t know them, INTJs are pretty complex. 

Overall, they’re analysts. They have the Ni function which revolves around studying patterns, recognizing them, etc. This gives them an insight into certain situations and things that others might miss. They are open-minded and looking for any new knowledge that comes their way. 

They also have the extraverted thinking function (Te) which is the basis for why they think so logically all the time. (Also, they tend to have a “thinking face”, as seen above, which usually involves them staring intensely out into space.) 

This is where the awkwardness comes into play.

INTJs have a lot of trouble with feelings. They’re usually pretty chill, but when put into certain situations where they have to interact like “normal people” or when they develop feelings for someone (ahem), they get really awkward. This is another reason why some INTJs take no action at all with relationships, because they have no idea how to properly handle emotions. 

(INTJs also tend to either be, like, in love or not interested. Which seems to be the case with this here young man...)

Another aspect I’d like to add is the relationship between INTJs and ENFPs. In my first ever MBTI post, I typed Frank as an INTJ and Joe as an ENFP (still stand by that). The dynamics between the personalities and the characters match. The INTJ is more quiet and off thinking about something, but the ENFP will brighten things up and give it more energy and maybe get a million or two new ideas thrown in there. Both very creative, but very different, and the combination of the two personality types is extremely fun (and chaotic).

So. There’s that.

MBTI Typing Nancy Drew Characters - Jane Penvellyn

This was a very, very hard one to do. Jane Penvellyn is an extremely complex character. At first glance, she seems like a playful child who has a rampant imagination, but when you dig deeper, things become a lot more sinister. After lots of research and observation, I have typed her as a very unhealthy ENTP. Spoilers ahead.

Jane Penvellyn is perhaps one of the most scary, if not the scariest villain in my opinion. She’s only twelve years old and she’s already concocted a plan to get to stepmother out of the house by gaslighting her into thinking she’s turning into a werewolf, she’s messed with Nancy’s head, and she killed her own guinea pig with experiments. In an earlier post, I researched sociopathy and I even did a little test to see and her result was very high. Now, this is a whole different area of psychology that I’ll be looking at, but keep in mind that because of the influences in her life, her mental state is very poor. Also, most of the game she is lying to Nancy, so the reading I have on her may not be entirely accurate, because Jane is a character I don’t think we can fully know.

ENTPs are known for being charismatic, charming, and very intelligent. We can see how charismatic Jane can be when she’s playing Nancy and the others. (Maybe not the person playing the game, but definitely Nancy.) They are also known to be incredibly manipulative, which fits Jane very well. Not every 12 year old girl can manipulate people the way she does. 

Another theory, that is essentially canon, is that Jane experimented on her guinea pig and killed it. (There’s a lot of evidence to prove this in the game, but nothing explicitly saying so.) There was also a theory somewhere that when Jane was playing games with Nancy-- “See if you can beat me!”, “If you can get faster than this...”, etc.-- she is experimenting on her. Testing her wits, timing her reflexes, and so on and so forth. ENTPs are very experimental people who often try new things and text out what they want to learn more about. 

ENTPs can be strategic, but also impulsive. We see both of these in Jane. While she meticulously plans out how to get to the family treasure, she also acts on impulse sometimes as well. For example, when she followed Nancy down to the alchemy lab, confronted her, then pushed her away and grabbed the stone. She could have probably figured out a better way to convince Nancy to give her the stone, yet she acted on her own impulse rather than being patient. 

Let’s take a look at the another area of Jane’s psychology. We obviously can see that she is lonely, and she’s very bored. Even though she’s lying about a lot, it is obvious that she doesn’t enjoy her lessons and she hates being so alone. However, due to her abnormal life, she’s forced to live a life quite different from other children, and quite darker. Because of her boredom, which is caused by lack of outside stimulation and challenge, she acts on dark impulses to do dangerous things, which is another ENTP thing to do. The games are a good way to get out some of her energy, but even that isn’t enough sometimes. 

Now, this isn’t an example of all ENTPs, but an example of an unhealthy one. A child who was forced into a life of secrecy and intrigue, with her family being split and a weight upon her shoulders placed there by her ancestors. She felt she had to make drastic decisions, so she made them. As I’ve said before, her mental state is very poor. No one in their right mind would do what she did. And at only twelve years old. 

In conclusion, I still believe that Jane is the scariest of all the villains next to Dwayne Powers, because while both are very dangerous, she was only twelve years old when she came up with this scheme of hers. She’s a very intelligent, very unhealthy ENTP, and one of the most confounding characters to come out of the series. 

All this was based on lots of research and experience with ENTPs. Shoutout to @joe-hardys-cheeseburger​ for helping me with this typing.

As for my own type, I’m an INTJ, which I believe helps me with my analysis of all these characters. I also read way too deep into everything, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, lol. 

And Henrik’s typing is soon to come!
