What’s Your Harry Potter Personality?

Ever wonder which Harry Potter character you are the most like? This awesome Harry Potter version of the Myers-Brigg’s test has been popping up on Facebook so I just had to try it out. As you probably already know, I’m fascinated by the Myers-Briggs personality test and have blogged about it before.


Turns out my personality corresponds most accurately with Ron Weasley. Who also turns out to be my favorite Harry Potter character (double awesome!). I even had red hair as a kid (like my son has now) and it’s both eerie and comforting to think how much my own childhood school years had a very Ron-like slant to them.

So which Harry Potter character corresponds the most to your personality type? Are you surprised by what you discovered or more intrigued or disturbed?  Makes you wonder, does art imitate life or life imitate art?

  1. I'll have to go take it. I'm one of the introverts though, of that I'm sure.

  2. Fascinating! I too am fascinated by the Myers-Briggs test too. I'm an off the chart INFJ ~ especially at the far end of the continuum for N and F. So I'm a Remus Lupin! This was a really fun post! Thanks for sharing this.

  3. Um, not sure I'm liking this version of things. I'm an INTJ which makes me Draco Malfoy. NOT. :P

  4. I am a cross between Lily and Dumbledore since I test dead even between the S and the N, so an EXFJ.

  5. I have professionally used the MBTI in career, marriage and team/leadership training for over 20 years. This cracks me up. I am an INFJ-- and have never read Harry Potter (gasp) so not sure if this fits or not!

    1. Lol:) Well, I'd say reading Harry Potter would be good for anyone's personality regardless:)

  6. ISTP - turned out to be Harry himself. :) Definitely agree with being an introvert who does my own thing - in fact all of it apart from organising facts according to logical principles!

    1. Ha! I don't picture you as a Snape (much more Dumbledore), but teaching does strange things to all of us;)

  9. In all honesty, I only read the first book of the series (which I enjoyed tremendously, I just didn't make time for the following volumes. So . . . I haven't bonded with the series enough to identify with one character over another. But it's an interesting question.
