Eliza Schuyler Hamilton- Hamilton Myers-Briggs Personality Types
Eliza Schuyler Hamilton: ISFP-INFP
I- Eliza is always shown as the quiet, peace-loving sister. For an introvert, a few close people would be enough (see what I did there? ;) For Eliza, it would be Angelica, Hamilton, and perhaps Peggy.
"I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight." -Helpless
"Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom." (instead of approaching him) -Helpless
Personally, as an INFP myself, I really identify with the Eliza in the closing song, but not that much before that.
S- "Look at where you are. Look at where you started. The fact that you're alive is a miracle. Just stay alive, that would be enough." -That Would Be Enough
N- "And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell our (your) story? Oh, I can't wait to see you again. It's only a matter of time." -Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story
F- Overall, Eliza seems the motherly type. She's caring and compassionate, both traits of the Feeling type. When she was being courted by Alex, she didn't take the road her sister took (though ultimately Angelica also based her decision on this preference): the logical one. Instead of thinking about Ham's motives, she listened to how he made her feel.
"Then you walked in and my heart went, 'Boom!'" -Helpless
"You and your words flooded my senses. Your sentences left me defenseless." -Burn
P- Eliza really just goes with the flow so long as Hamilton comes at the end of the day. I really see more of an easy-going air to Eliza rather than an organized and work-oriented one.
"So long as you come home at the end, that would be enough." -That Would Be Enough
So yeah, starts off as "The Protector" and ends "The Idealist." Sounds about right, huh? Leave your opinion down below :)

Alexander Hamilton- Hamilton Myers-Briggs Personality Types
Alexander Hamilton
ENFJ
E- Do I really need to explain this? He is outgoing and outspoken. He wants his ideas heard and is not afraid to speak his mind, even to a fault sometimes. Alex is truly gregarious.
"I have not been shy, I am just a guy in the public eye." -Your Obedient Servant
"Oh, am I talkin' too loud? Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth." -My Shot
"I know I talk too much." -Non-Stop
N- Alex is always looking towards the future and looking at the bigger picture- leaving his legacy. Ever since his youth, he has been looking for a way to reach his goals for the future instead of living each day in the present as a Sensing type does.
"I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory." -My Shot, Yorktown, The World Was Wide Enough
"Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me." -My Shot
"You and your words, obsessed with your legacy." -Burn
"He will never be satisfied." -Satisfied
F- Ham always follows what his heart believes is right. However, this doesn't mean he isn't as intelligent as someone with a Thinking type. Ham is actually said to be more intelligent than the average person, of course. He just follows personal and other people's feelings over logic, which led to the rise of his career and also the downfall.
"Why do you always say what you believe?" -Non-Stop (though this may also apply to Extraverted)
"Goes and proposes his own form of government, his own plan for a new form of government, talks for six hours [...] yo who the f is this?" -Non-Stop
"I will not equivocate on my opinion, I have always worn it on my sleeve." -Your Obedient Servant
"I won't apologize for doing what's right." -Your Obedient Servant
"For once in your life, take a stand with pride. I don't understand how you stand to the side." -Non-Stop
J- Judging types are organized and have plans. Hamilton is this exactly. He knows what needs to be done in order for him to fulfill his goals and he sticks to it. And as for organized... well, the evidence is pretty much in two quotes below.
"But my papers are orderly, as you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered." -We Know
"Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements." -Your Obedient Servant
"I wanted to do what you did, graduate in two then join the revolution." -Aaron Burr, Sir
"Tryin' to reach my goal, my power of speech, unimpeachable." -My Shot
"As a kid in the Caribbean I wish for a war, I knew it was the only way to rise up." -Right Hand Man (this could also apply to iNtuition)

Dawn Bellwether- Zootopia Myers-Briggs Personality Types (Spoiler Alert)
Dawn Bellwether- INFJ
I- Well, is there another character as introverted as her in this movie? At least before the big reveal, she seemed like the typical secretary (yes, I know, she's an assistant mayor but she calls herself a glorified secretary): shy, quiet, and work-oriented. The first two apply here, the latter is later on. Even after the reveal, she seems to be the only one in charge, meaning no assistant, no friend, no second-in-command. Herself alone. "And I plan to keep it that way >:)"
N- You couldn't really see this with the mask she puts on at first. She actually seemed like an S, content with the present and content with the little mug detail from Mayor Lionheart as the only form of appreciation. However, it was revealed that all this time she was actually plotting for the future and looking at the big picture. She didn't just want to be a "glorified secretary," she wanted full power of the capital in this animal world.
F- Bellwether is idealistic. Even though she is not a healthy idealist, she is still one. She took her main problem- being unappreciated- to heart and used it rather than her head to solve it. Sure, it was clever and planned out carefully, but it was driven by personal feelings.
J- First off, she makes a plan and sticks to it. Second, she is task-oriented and organized (well, not too well represented in this picture, but yes in her master plan). Third, when Judy and Nick come along and ruin her plan, she loses control, and Judging types feel as if they lose that very same thing when their plans change. I rest my case.

Nick Wilde- Zootopia Myers-Briggs Personality Types
I- Even though he- according to himself- knows everybody, it doesn't mean he actually hangs out with everyone. A few close friends for the introvert and we're good, in this case being Judy and possibly Finnick (I wouldn't exactly call Flash a close friend). Even though he is also outspoken most of the time, being an introvert really just means you gain energy from spending time alone rather than being with others. Also, he doesn't really show his feelings with others, like he said, "I would never let another person see that they got to me."
S- Sensing types like to live in the now and remember the past. This is exactly what our friend does- remembers the tragic day of his first and last Junior Scouts meeting and lives without any plans for the future, only making money for the day (though $200/day isn't bad at all B) ).
T- Thinking types might be described by others as untactful or indifferent to emotions. Nick definitely demonstrates this throughout the film, but mostly at the beginning before he opens up. This doesn't mean he is unfriendly, especially at the end of the film (and, well, he kinda was at the beginning). He would just rather use logic and strategy over heart and feelings.
P- Perceiving is a trait among people that can improvise, just like Dodger from Oliver and Company or Aladdin's title character, whom both have stated that they can improvise. Nick is certainly added to this list. A moment he showed this was during his work day. When a construction worker asked about the color of the popsicle- pardon, pawsicle- sticks, he immediately thought of an answer. Nick also shows an easy-going and laid-back personality, which is a perceiving trait.
I've read others stating he is an ENTP, and I could see how someone would reach that conclusion. However, looking at the overall type description, I still feel ISTP fits him better. While an ENTP is said to analyze the outer world around them, search for meanings, and be more energetic, the ISTP type is described realistic, practical, easy-going, and action-oriented.
Do you guys think ISTP sounds like Nick or ENTP? Perhaps another type? Leave a comment down below :)
