MBTI personality types as ancient Greek gods and godessess
ESFJ Aphrodite (Ἀφροδίτη): Born out of the foam of Uranus’ (God of sky) castrated parts that his son, Titan Cronus, had thrown to the sea. Thus, she emerged from the Ocean in all her beauty and grace and all the water Nymphs and all the Winds came to bow before her. Goddess of love and beauty, of pleasure and of passion as she was, all the men desired her and all the women envied her graces. She married Hephaestus, she desired Ares and she loved Adonis. One could always glimpse her winged son, Eros, god of desire, flying above her as she would��ve often whispered to his ear the next mortal whose his heart was about to be shot by Eros’ arrows.
ENFJ Apollo (Ἀπόλλων): God of light, of sun, of music, of poetry, of truth, of knowledge and protector of the arts. He was everything and he knew it all. People worshiped him all over the known world and build him the most gracious and marvelous temples and oracles, where sunbeams would make the white marbles shine as bright as the sun. In return, Apollo through the voice of gifted diviners would reveal to them what would the future hold. He played his lyre and his daughters, the Muses, would come over from the valleys to accompany his sweet melodies. He loved and protected the young as he, himself, remained a young man forever. He was a healer, but if the mortals were to infuriated him, he would bring the greatest of the plagues on them.
ISFP Artemis (Ἄρτεμις): Twin sister of Apollo as they where both children of Zeus and Leto. Quieter and humbler by nature than her twin brother, she found her call in the deep forests, the mountains and the moon. She befriended all the living things of the wild and devoted herself to their protection. Always bearing a bow in the hand and a handful of arrows on her back, she would hunt in the forests, but she’d never become violent, always honoring her prey. Although she took an oath to remain a virgin, young Orion became her hunting companion and he managed to win her heart. Their love was never meant to blossom, as Artemis shot Orion with an arrow by accident and killed him.
ESTP Ares (Ἄρης): Son of Zeus and Hera as he was, he would grow to become a forceful and a fearful one. Gifted with great physical strength and an everlasting blood lust, he excelled in the battlefields and become a soldier model for the Spartans. He was Aphrodite’s secret lover and together they had many children like Eros, who followed his mother, and Deimos (god of terror) and Phobos (god of fear), who both followed Ares as his warfare companions. The other gods tended to avoid him and on the great Trojan war he was on the losing side, therefore triggering Zeus’ anger towards him. Later, the Romans acknowledged his military intelligence and worshiped him by the name of Mars.
ESTJ Athena (Ἀθηνᾶ): If someone contrived to impersonate the essence of the ancient Greek spirit, it would look like her. It does not surprise that she was goddess of wisdom, handicraft and warfare as well. All three basic elements of the city that she fought with Poseidon for, thus founded and gave it her name, Athens. Athena always wore a helmet, brandished a spear and kept her shield with Medusa’s head on it (that Perseus had gifted to her for helping him in murdering that marine beast) by her side. Legend has it that she was born fully armored from Zeus’ forehead. However, Athena would never initiate an  unreasonable, blood spilling war against her enemies like Ares would do. Wise and strategic as her mind was, Athena favored those with strength and bravery, like Hercules and Perseus, with courage and valiance, like Bellerophon and Jason, as well as those with a sharp mind, like Odysseus, aiding them in multiple ways.
ENTJ Poseidon (Ποσειδῶν): He is known as the sea god, but in fact there was not an element that wouldn’t bow to his will. Poseidon was ruler of the seas, the rivers and all the running waters. He was commander of the earth, the soil, the storms and the mighty earthquakes. He was protector of the noble horses and, as many say, he was the true king of Atlantis. Although he lost supervision of Athens to Athena, the Athenians didn’t forget his volition to become their guardian and they worshiped him almost as much as her. They build him a magnificent temple on the windy top of Cape Sounion, where the waves of the great Aegean sea would crush the rocks beneath it. Poseidon would often help seafarers reach their destination safe and sound. Damn those who would dare sail without a sacrifice to his name for appeasing the tides. A tremendous storm created by a swing of his trident would crash their ship to an unknown land or, even worse, he would drag them all the way down to his wet kingdom. 
ENTP Zeus (Ζεύς): The father of the Gods wasn’t an easy one. As every king that walked the earth, the sea or the skies before and after him, he was whimsical, temperamental and stubborn as a bull. In fact, there were times that he would take the form of a real bull or an eagle, a swan, a bear, a serpent, a flame or even a shower of gold, always to seduce a new love interest of his own. Europa, Cassiopeia, Leda, Alcmene and Ganymede are just a handful of all the women and men he desired and approached while transformed into a creature of beauty, with the sole intention of sleeping with them. It’s no wonder that his wife, Hera, was always mad at him, thus she was the only one that ever managed to scare him a little bit. However, he was Father of everyone and everything. Mortals should not forget that without Zeus, the world would still be at the hands of his tyrannical father, Titan Cronus, whom Zeus with the help of his brothers and sisters managed to overthrow. Thus, he became the true ruler of the skies, bearer of the thunder and enforcer of law and order as well. Among mortals, he was yet another mighty symbol of civilization and justice.
INTJ Hera (Ἥρα): She wasn’t the wife next door. She was the queen of Gods and protector of all the women. Someone could even see her as one of the very first symbols of feminine power in ancient cultures. Her rightful rage towards her unfaithful husband, Zeus, was the fuel of her many vengeful actions against him and his lovers. Although she refused Zeus’ first marriage proposal, after marrying him, she became goddess of marriage and patron of the household and childbirth. Hera could be your worst enemy (even Zeus was sometimes afraid of her), but also your most valuable ally. But, most of all, she was true to herself and to her worshipers. After all, she was the queen-mother of the world.
INTP Hades (ᾍδης) or Plouton (Πλούτων): After the Gods defeated the Titans at the beginning of time, the males ones (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades at that time) gathered together to drew lots of ruler-ship over the world. Although Hades was the eldest between them, Zeus received the sky, Poseidon the earth and the sea, but Hades’ fate was to become king of the underworld. He took Persephone, Demeter’s daughter, for his wife and made her queen at his side. A giant three-headed dog guarded the doors to the underworld, thus making entrance to anyone alive almost impossible. Hades didn’t care for the affairs of the world of the living, or even for the matters of the rest of the gods. Although he wasn’t evil, mortals avoided to refer to him by his name in case they drew his attention. They mostly called him Plouton, which meant “rich”, as all the precious minerals came from the underground, thus the boundary of Hades’ kingdom.
ISFJ Demeter (Δημήτηρ): A rather motherly figure and a well-respected goddess. Demeter loved the earth and everything that came from the soil. She protected farmers and brought to them a good harvest year after year. The humblest seed took root whenever blessed by her. Nothing was more precious to her than her own daughter, Persephone. When Hades abducted Persephone with the intention to marry her, Demeter fell in deep sorrow and not a single thing would grow anymore. Everyone was desperate, and an era of great famine was upon the humans.
INFP Persephone (Περσεφόνη) or Kore (Κόρη): It is said that before her abduction by Hades, Persephone was called Kore, which means maiden or daughter. She was, in fact, the beloved daughter of Demeter, that one day while she was peacefully gathering flowers, Hades came and abducted her, as he was deeply in love with the girl. Demeter was so angry and sad after that incident, that forbade the earth to produce and she begun to wander around looking for Persephone. Zeus heard the cries of the hungry mortals and persuaded Hades to release her. Hades tricked Persephone to eat the seeds of a pomegranate before leaving the underworld, but she ignored that if someone tasted underworld food, they were obliged to come back. Demeter agreed that Persephone would spent half a year on earth and half below it. As a result, the time that Persephone returned to Hades as queen of the underworld, Demeter’s sorrow of her daughter’s absence would make winter on earth. As soon as Persephone come back to earth, she would bring the spring with her. Thus, people worshiped her as a goddess of the springtime and the flowers.
ENFP Dionysus (Διόνυσος, Diónysos) or Bacchus (Βάκχος): This one knew how to enjoy life to the fullest. As the god of wine, theater and ecstatic dance, Dionysus was an emblem of freedom and basically… fun. With vines in his hair, a thyrsus in his hands (a wand of ivy vines and leaves) and a smile on his face, Dionysus would stroll the valleys with his many followers, dancing ecstatically, driving them to divine mania. Mortals would call him “the god who comes”. His companion included goat-legged satyrs and maenads. The last ones were women who, after coming to ecstatic frenzy through dancing and drinking, would please Dionysus through blood-offerings, which in some cases meant that maeneds would kill men with bare hands. Dionysus is said to be a god who dies and rises back from the dead. His many, divine powers still remain a mystery to many of us, mortals.
ISTP Hephaestus (Ἥφαιστος): His form and character does not remind of a god. He was a shy one and would rather spend his time crafting weapons on his hot anvil. However, Hephaestus was the god of fire and served as a blacksmith of gods and heroes. His many creations include Hermes’ winged helmet and sandals, Aphrodite’s girdle, Achilles’ armor, Heracles’ bronze clappers, Helios’ (god of the Sun) chariot, Eros’ bow and arrows and all the thrones of the Gods in Olympus. The legend has it that he was Hera’s son, one that she made by herself out of jealously of Zeus giving birth to Athena out of his head. However, Hera ejected him from mount Olympus, because he was lame on one leg. Hephaestus took revenge against Hera by crafting her a magical golden throne, which, when she sat on, it didn’t allow her to stand up, thus making both her legs useless.
ESFP Hermes (Ἑρμῆς): Also known as the “divine trickster”, the messenger of the gods and the guide to the underworld. Hermes was a pleasant god who protected travelers, merchants, shepherds, athletes and thieves, as he was all of those things himself. His appearance is quite known. A young man with the top of his head full of playful curls, wearing winged sandals, winged petasus (traveller’s hat) and holding the kerykeion (a short staff entwined by two serpents and surmounted by wings). Always being on the move, Hermes loved playing tricks on other gods and mortals.
ISTJ  Hestia (Ἑστία): Hestia was one of the six children of Kronos and Rhea (among Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Demeter) and therefore one of the oldest Gods. She was goddess of the home and domesticity as her name suggests (Ἑστία means “hearth”) as well as protector of households. Mortals used to gift her the first offering of every sacrifice in the household. During the founding of a colony, flame from Hestia’s public hearth in colonizers’ mother city would be carried to the newly founded one. Hestia rejected both the marriage proposals of Poseidon and Apollo, and took an oath of virginity (like Artemis). She cared little for the conflicts of gods and mortals and tended to her domestic matters. Hestia was the simplest and humblest between gods and even offered her place in Olympus to Dionysus, making him the 12th Olympian god in her place, thus showing her divine magnanimity.
INFJ Asclepius (Ἀσκληπιός): He was originally the son of Apollo and a mortal woman. His father offered him, when still an infant, to centaur Chiron to mentor him. Chiron taught him the art of medicine, but an ancient legend says that a snake returned a favor of Asclepius back to him by licking his ears clean and passing him secret knowledge of healing. In order to honor the snake, Asclepius made a rod wreathed with a snake his divine symbol. This very rod is still nowadays associated with healing and medicine. Asclepius mastery of healing reached the level of bringing people back from the dead. This act infuriated Hades and forced Zeus to kill Asclepius and turn him into a constellation known as Ophiuchus (“the Serpent Holder”), which many claim it to be the 13th sign of the zodiac circle.

MBTI stereotypes vs. How I see them irl
ENFP stereotype: crazy, always yelling, always crying, loud, obsessed with rainbows and unicorns for some reason.
ENFPs irl: being an ENFP myself I’ll say that we are so much more mellow than you’d expect. Some of us are actually kind of quiet and can get confused as introverts. We are excitable people, without a doubt, but we’re picky about who we want to be excitable around.
INFP stereotype: dark, brooding, always sad, poetic, cries a lot, takes everything personally, probably emo
INFPs irl: I won’t deny that INFPs definitely can be like this, but they’re also surprisingly playful & don’t show their emotions as much as you’d expect. Every INFP I’ve met is super witty and they always have the most perfect comedic timing! Seriously, y'all could be comedians. They can sometimes be smartasses and seem like INTPs, even ENTPs on the surface.
ISFP stereotype: hipster, emo, crybaby, manic pixie dream girl, tortured artist
ISFP irl: I won’t deny that the stereotype is pretty accurate. But like INFPs, they don’t show their emotions as often as you’d think. They actually come off as quite aloof and unemotional on the surface. Also; even though they’re sensors, they are very much like intuitives! I dated an ISFP and we used to have the most interesting conversations.
ESFP stereotype: party animal, attention whore, loud, annoying
ESFPs irl: Like the ENFPs, they’re surprisingly laid back. And some can be confused as introverts; they’re very similar to their ISFP “cousins”. Although ESFPs are party animals without a doubt, they have a surprisingly mellow vibe. They’re also a LOT smarter than you’d think.
ENTP stereotype: asshole, always debating, just dicks in general
ENTPs irl: I have a lovely ENTP teacher and my dad is an ENTP as well. Honestly, I think ENTPs are one of the thinking types that can often be confused to be feelers. They’re often VERY friendly and charismatic— sometimes even more so than ENFPs— and you’ll find that they’re surprisingly very emotional when you get to know them. Remember, kids: thinkers have feelings too, they just have a harder time grasping them than feeling types.
ESTJ/ENTJ stereotype: mean, bossy, stoic
EXTJs irl: Both of these types are stereotyped to be very mean & bossy people. They sometimes can come across like that, but often times when they’re being bossy, they’re only trying to help you. A lot of people misinterpret their actions. Yes, some EXTJs abuse their power, but a lot of them are just looking out for people and making sure they do the right thing. They’re also very fun & social if you become friends with them! They’re so much nicer than you’d expect. 
ISTJ stereotype: boring, hates people, stoic
ISTJs irl: They aren’t boring, just very mellow. Every ISTJ I’ve met has a very calm tone of voice. Like EXTJs, they can come off as bossy, but often times they’re only trying to help you. They definitely have a fun, charismatic side to them too.
INTJ stereotype: evil, hates people, antisocial
INTJs irl: Yeah, a lot of INTJs are like this. But they can be really good friends; they can just be quite picky about who they want to spend time with, because they’re often very very introverted. When you do get “chosen” by an INTJ, they’re actually super fun to talk to and be around. They have a soft, sweet side too that they’ll reveal to you if you get close enough. Like ISTJs, they’re often super mellow people.
ISFJ stereotype: pure, soft, will bake you cookies, very emotional
ISFJs irl: Alright. I’ll admit that the ISFJ stereotype is pretty spot on. But they’re also more smart & independent than you’d expect. They’re very caring about others, but will still go out and get what they want no matter what the cost; a confident ISFJ won’t be afraid to cut you out of the picture if you’re hindering their progress! They also give REALLY good advice. That’s typical of an XXFJ type though, tbh.
INFJ stereotype: extremely introverted. dark and brooding. probably psychic.
INFJs irl: I have an INFJ best friend and let me tell you, these types really do come off as extroverted! They can be very charismatic and chatty and are so much less mysterious/cryptic than you’d expect. They’re so fun to be around!! I’ll agree that they’re probably psychic though tbh. A lot of INFJs I’ve met have had weird spiritual experiences & predicted things that I never could have thought of before. They can also be huge party animals if you bring out their wild side!
ENFJ stereotype: typical “hero”, preachy, emotional, manipulative
ENFJs irl: I honestly don’t disagree with this stereotype. ENFJs can be manipulative, but they don’t always have malicious intent. They’re a little similar to EXTJs at times; they seem controlling, but often times they’re just trying to help. ENFJs sometimes get a bad rep, but I think they are super impessive and smart people. And yes, it’s true; they most likely know you better than you know yourself.
ESFJ stereotype: typical basic bitch, loud, charismatic, over emotional
ESFJs irl: I’d say the stereotype is true, but exaggerated. Some ESFJs can be a bit obnoxious, I’ll admit, but they’re usually super wonderful to be around. Their presence is often very fun & refreshing. They may seem smothering at times, but just know that deep in their heart it’s because they want to keep people happy. Every ESFJ I’ve met does their very best to put a smile on everyone’s face; they’re always joking around, giving out compliments, and giving out hugs. They often have good intentions with everything they do and you can just /tell/.
ESTP stereotype: daredevil, asshole, party animal, impulsive
ESTPs irl: They definitely have a tendency to be all of the above. But they’re also super friendly & charismatic, and very caring deep down. They’re also often really really smart, but don’t often show it unless you get them talking about a subject they’re invested in. When they’re not out partying and going wild, they are actually super chill people.
ISTP/INTP stereotype: assholes, nerdy, hates people, critical
IXTPs irl: Actually sweethearts. They often aren’t too great at expressing emotion, but they’re just so nice, they can even sometimes appear nicer than the IXFPs. They care so much for people without even realizing it. I dated an ISTP and he used to do the sweetest romantic gestures ever!! They come off as aloof, cold, and often robotic; but you still get a general sense that they care for the people around them, and they often truly do deep down.

INTP: You are the solitude of chilly nights and empty roads.
ISTJ: You are the mystical fog and the beginning of school. 
ISFJ: You are the beautiful, colorful leaves decorating houses, pavements and cars. 
Winter
ESTP: You are the chaotic and turbulent snow storms. You are the thrill of sliding down white covered mountains.
ENTJ: You are the cold air from people’s lips and the fatal sting of frostbites from being outside too long. 
INTJ: You are the rage of sleet and the sharp edges of ice. 
INFJ: You are the warm smell of hot chocolate and cinnamon on Christmas Eve.

5 signs you're probably an INTP
1. Clever? Stupid? It's an unending rollercoaster
INTPs typically struggle with their self esteem, because, even though they refuse to admit it, they are very concerned with their social status (though in a different way to others). INTPs can never seem to work out whether they are intelligent or not - the majority of the time they are secure in their intelligence as they see their cleverness as positively superior to most, however they often ponder whether their knowledge is deep and thorough or just surface level information about a huge range of topics, all for show. It only takes another individual to display knowledge that the INTP does not possess, and their entire identity structured around their intelligence begins to crumble.
2. You seem very quiet, but actually you are not
INTPs are renowned for being probably the most introverted type there is, however a lot of INTPs in the MBTI community question whether they are actually introverts at all. Due to their nature, INTPs are one of the more likely types to develop their auxiliary function (Ne) at an earlier age than most, making them appear more outgoing, when they want to be. Introversion centres around the idea of gaining energy through being alone or with a small amount of people, and this is absolutely true for INTPs, however when a topic arises that they are abnormally knowledgeable or passionate about, there is no calming them down. INTPs also typically prefer to have small group of close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and in this small group they can behave as if an extrovert, as long as they find their surrounding friends to be trustworthy and loyal.
3. Too many interests
This is a more obvious trait, but the INTP will often find that their passions and interests are not 'mainstream', particularly among teenage INTPs. You may enjoy obscure hobbies that others find 'lame' or 'boring', but you find happiness in them. Your 'to be read pile' might be the leaning tower of pisa, your computer may have been deconstructed and reconstructed a dozen times, your sketchbooks may be overflowing with art, or your notebooks may be filled with a hundred unfinished stories, but you adore your hobbies because they're yours. Your interests are likely how you relax and recharge as they probably involve an element of solitude, which others cannot understand. However, many pastimes INTPs choose to take up require a lot of brainpower and can lead to insomnia and 'burnouts'. For the INTP with a sleepless brain, it's a good idea to find a mindless and therapeutic hobby such as knitting or colouring, and making sure you factor in the time to learn and pursue them. INTPs can never do truly nothing while awake, so taking up a calming hobby is the best way to obtain true rest and fully regain strength.
4. A world of patterns and problems
INTPs notice patterns in the world - they are often aware of reoccurences and small details in the world around them that others are not. You pick up hints in the way people speak, you can learn just by observation, and your remarkable ability to notice patterns and themes directly links to their innate problem solving ability. However, though the observant INTP can wow anyone with their intelligence deductions, they are often regarded as oblivious individuals with no regard to common sense. This may seem like it's due to laziness, when in actuality it is due to an endless whirlwind of thoughts, opinions and ideas that never stop. INTPs are more prone to conditions such as synesthesia and perfect pitch, which can make observing the world around them more beautiful yet more uncomfortable at the same time due to an overstimulation of the senses.
5. Deadlines and restrictions are the bane of your existence
It's the reason you hate(d) school, the reason you quickly get bored of things and the reason you feel your talents aren't justified. Deadlines, time limitations, project parameters or creativity restrictions cause you a lot of anger. They are put in place for one simple reason: the situation cannot handle such extreme creativity or profound ideas as the ones you possess and are desperate to put into practise. You may be just beginning a project, a storm of ingenious ideas rattling your mind, everything instantly yet meticulously thought out. But you are told the project must be finished by this time, it must include all these unnecessary things and you must follow all these time-wasting planning stages. Your determination dimishes, your ideas forced to conform to the minutely specified plan before you. 'It's fine,' you think, 'I can do my own thing in my own time'. But you don't have the time. Life is full of too many scheduled and restrictive events that your creative and scattered brain is not programmed for. This is truly one of the most devastating things an INTPs regularly faces

I’m an Intp and do u have any tips for getting over procrastination and unmotivation?
For procrastination, try setting alarms for yourself. What I do is give myself time for procrastination before I sit down and do work in a 1 to 2 ratio. For example, I give myself an hour to procrastinate and then set an alarm for two hours of actual work, and then continue this pattern. It’s better to do this with alarms because if you’re just looking at the clock, you’re more tempted to go over the designated time for procrastinating than if you’ve been interrupted by an alarm.
I’m not really sure how to help with motivation; perhaps try to reason with yourself why doing a dreaded activity (such as homework or a project) will help get you to your end goal?
I hope this was helpful love!!

The Types as Words I Like
ENFJ: effervescent–light and bubbly, charming and captivating–but what’s the reason?
ENFP: firefly–little flashes and dashes of hope and beauty, and excitement and joy
ENTJ: crimson–thicker and darker than red, more eloquent and confident than scarlet
ENTP: soliloquy–being so enraptured with a thing that you go on about it despite whoever might hear your passion
ESFJ: cloy–stickily sweet, like a cinnamon bun, but with traces of a steely backbone underneath
ESFP: flicker–lightning or crackling fire; warm and soft or electrifying and deadly
ESTJ: antiquity–dusty and dusky and well-aged with time; subtly sure with underestimated strength
ESTP: bundle–of books? of joy? of secret treasures wrapped in wool cloth? the fun is in discovering
INFJ: whisper–soft and sweet and gentle, not conveying the true power of the voice
INFP: reminisce–to gaze at nothing and daydream, remembering the by-gone and things that were
INTJ: ethereal–otherworldly, light, untouchable, made with substance you can never be sure of understanding
INTP: labyrinth–a maze of mystery and a tangle of thoughts; where will you go? where have you been?
ISFJ: aurora–a phenomenon; scientific magic; you can explain it, but when you see it, it’s too surreal to be real
ISFP: dawn–when the sun peeks over the horizon and paints the sky with promising hues
ISTJ: sylvan–having to do with forest or woods; pastoral and intriguing; common yet captivating
ISTP: twilight–that moment just as Earth is introduced to the glory of the heavens
