What ho! Happy Holidays and such. This is my first post in this particular community, though I've been lurking for years.

It's a little off-topic, but I've been doing a lot of delving into the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator lately and an epiphany regarding everyone's favourite valet and his gentleman came upon me.

Reginald Jeeves' MBTI type: ISTJ - The Duty-Fulfiller

Bertie Wooster's MBTI type: ESFP - The Performer

Oh, and just to make it better, ISTJ and ESFP are considered "natural partners" according to the relationship pages.

These are just my intuitive readings of the characters, however, so feel free to disagree and/or share your opinions in the comments.

Huh... I always thought of Jeeves as INTJ since he is quite self-serving and Bertie as ENFP since he is a total people pleaser.

Agreed with the N vs the S, I would think in order for him to scheme and plan so thoroughly he'd need to be an N over an S, plus his preoccupation with the psychology of the individual....that screams N to me.

ETA: The MBTI typology is more on a continuum than a categorical typology. So it may be that Jeeves has a slight preference for N or S, coming out as one type does not bar one from having the qualities or being able to draw upon the strengths of the type on the other end of the continuum.

I fully agree. If I were having to pick an SJ in the Jeeves universe, it would be Aunt Agatha.

I definitely agree with Bertie being P and Jeeves J, but what makes you say Jeeves is a Sensing type? I admit, I don't know much about Sensing types (being an Intuitive myself), but for some reason he strikes me more as an Intuitive? IDK. Going off gut-feeling here.

Going on first read alone, it seems to suit them quite well. xD Bertie's can be questioned, though - he's undeniably fond of playing the piano, but there's definitely more to him. c:
And 'natural partners'?
...yay! ;u;
