Dark MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Dark? Dark is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 514 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.
I think an INFJ TV show is more people focused - would have focused more on exploring the characters. Instead, it's more theme-focused/ systematic in its approach to generate Ni themes. The people are more like figures to create the plot, not the centers of the story itself. Some people may think that the show is character-focused but I don't think it is. Jonas, Martha, etc. seem more like placeholders for a Ni theme to me than character studies or anything like that. (btw that's not bad - Dark is my fav TV show, I really love the way the characters were created, it's inspiring) Although INTJs are still good at subtly creating very interesting, unique characters in a show-don't-tell, seemingly effortless way. Now that I think of it, def reminds me of Attack On Titan in its approach/ use of characters to create the plot. Def overall more INTJ than INFJ. I recommend The Expanse or Monster (anime) to see a more INFJ medium. INTP TV shows are either more lighthearted/optimistic bc Ne, more cynical/critical because of Ti (in a very interesting way - picking things apart to analyze them etc) or more exploratory/ detailed instead of finite/ abstract (Ne instead of Ni). INTPs also tend to be focused on the characters/ exploring them more than the writers of Dark have done with theirs (tbh, the INTP writers I know are extremely good at creating interesting characters, it's sometimes a bit insane to me). I think of Game Of Thrones, Undertale, It (Stephen King) or The Neverending Story (Michael Ende; the book, not the movie. Highly, highly recommend) when I think of INTP stories
