You never thought Star Wars would relate to psychology and personality types, did you? Check out this infographic from Geeks in Heels to find out which character you are based on your MBTI personality type.
The MBTI (Myers–Briggs Type Indicator) is an assessment designed to determine how people look at the world and make decisions. In this chart from Geek in Heels, 16 characters from Star Wars are given their own MBTI type profiles. Find out your personality type and then compare to the chart!
Comical and entertaining, the chart also stays pretty true to the characters in the movie. The personality types are pretty spot on; let’s go over a couple of the big names.
Obi-Wan Kenobi – The Counselor – Type INFJ
The INFJ personality type is by far the most rare of all types, making up only 1% of the population. Standing for Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging, INFJs are calm, gentle, incredibly complex, and highly intuitive individuals. Characterized by creativity and resourcefulness, this type portrays Obi-Wan perfectly as the counselor and protector.
Luke Skywalker – The Idealist – Type INFP
The Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving type embodies all that Luke Skywalker is made out to be in the Star Wars films. Like the young Jedi, most INFPs do not like conflict, but they do rise to it when necessary. Their approach is through their feelings, generally based upon the idea of right or wrong. Flexible and laidback, just like young Skywalker before he discovered the truth, INFPs are calm until their values are threatened; then, they become aggressively defensive. What is your Rebel cause?
Darth Vader – The Supervisor – Type ESTJ
Like other ESTJs, Darth Vader places all emphasis on a world of fact and concrete needs. After the loss of Padme, Vader’s vision was set, a standout characteristic of the Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging personality type. Extremely rigid and often neglecting of their Feeling side, ESTJs, like Vader, are isolated and aggressive. ESTJs must remember to sometimes turn to their feelings, just as Vader did in order to save his son’s life.
So which Star Wars character are you? In addition to those listed above, this chart provides a character reference for each of the 16 MBTI personality types, taken from across the span of all six Star Wars movies. They may be from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, but they’re just like you!

Just took the MBTI personality type test and got an INTP i.e., The Architect. Was absolutely dumbstruck when I found out that it’s Yoda for me. Dumbstruck because, believe you me, Yoda has always been my favorite Star Wars character. This MBTI thing is frigging magical. How’s that even possible?
I do find it quite mystical as well. Growing up I’ve always had a fondness for Obi-Wan Kenobi, even running around dressed as him for Halloween year after year. After recently discovering the MBTI test, I soon discovered I shared personalities with Ole Obi. The same goes for the marvel universe the Silver Surfer, I’ve always had a pull towards him, and he’s an INFJ too! Quite odd how we’re drawn to such things.
Han Solo is an ENTP maybe INTP not an ESTP. He always uses his gut to do thinks. Like in the new movie shen he tells Rey that he doesn’t ask if what he does will work until afterwards. People who use senses rely on facts and rules, which is the opposite of Han.
Although his name is Solo, he appears extroverted to me. He has deep personal relationships throughout the outer rim. You may be right about the intuition.
Ehh, I’m pretty sure he’s the quintessential ESTP, at least in the very first film
E- Has contacts all over the galaxy, makes his opinions known
S- Scoffs at the idea of the force being real, believes the Jedis are wackos, if he can’t see it, he doesn’t believe it
T-Motivated by rewards and payment, good at technical things (like fixing the millennium falcon)
P- Thinks on his feet, makes new plans on a whim, does a variety of jobs for money
Palpatine has always been my favourite Star Wars character and some people cannot understand why I love someone so “evil”. This perhaps explains why I’m so drawn to him, because he has the same personality type as me!
When I was a kid I always liked Luke Skywalker. I never understood why most my friends liked Han Solo better, I saw him as a self serving jerk but did realize he would end up doing the right thing. Turns out when I took Myers Briggs personality test I am INFP like Luke Skywalker.
Same. All of this. Also, weird, my name is Dane too.
This is funny, but completely misrepresents MBTI.
Well hello there! Always loved Obi-Wan, esp in the Pre trilogy, guess that is why it was my personality. Not sure how accurate this all is when dealing with fictional characters, but it was fun to see.

Of all the characters in Star Wars, I’ve always liked Anakin (including Clone Wars). I am an ENTP (R2-D2, Anakin’s droid) but somehow I’ve always seen myself in Anakin’s character( usually Clone Wars Anakin). When I’m not in the mood or bad events happen in my life I become ROTS Anakin. As already proven Anakin and Darth Vader are 2 different personalities and I would be interested to see what Anakin’s personality is.
Hello there,
I think he is an ESFP. The cognitive functions of ESFP are
1) Se (extroverted sensing): He is ‘in the moment’, to the point that it appears as impulsiveness and recklessness to other characters. Also has a great mechanical awareness of his surroundings. Strong in the Living Force (I’d argue Living Force is almost distinctively Se whereas Uinfying is between Ne/Ni.) and great at lightsaber duels because of how aware he is about his surroundings.
2) Fi (Introverted feeling): He has his own moral code of what is right and wrong, a code that is different from the Jedi Order’s; he breaks the Jedi Code when he feels it contradicts his morals (helping his friends, disobeying his superiors to save his comrades, etc.)
3) Te (extroverted feeling): Although not always, he can go through a lot of facts and external data to quickly arrive at a decision. He is quite smart in that sense; especially in Clone Wars his quick thinking helped him get out of a lot of situations. Paired with Se main, Anakin’s Te tertiary results in those famous “improvised plans”.
4) Ni (Introverted intuition): Ah, the good ol’e inferior Ni of our dear dear Anakin. One of my favorite scenes in ROTS is when Palps reveals himself to be the Sith Lord, and tries to lure Anakin to the dark side right before Anakin rats him out to the Council. Remember how Palps addressed this function? “You were destined for a life of greater importance, of conscience, the Council is afraid of your future, etc etc”
Anakin’s aspiration function is Ni; he is afraid of being directioneless in life and of being used as a tool by others. He wants to dictate his own agenda (based on his own Fi code, not on the Council’s Code), on his own terms, as he sees fit.
So I’d definitely type him as a quite smart and creative ESFP; almost deceptively so (I initially mistyped him as an ENTP).
PS: R2D2 rocks. My favorite character along with ObiWan probably.
