3. The Introvert Diplomats – Advocate (INFJ) and Mediator (INFP)

Diplomats (sharing the NF traits) always have a soft spot for a cause. They truly believe in making the world a better place and are very altruistic.
I will admit to a certain bias regarding the Advocate (INFJ) personality type as I am one. The love of imagination and introspection helped me fall in love with Walt Disney World, and the desire to share that with others to improve their trips helped lead me to become a writer for Theme Park Tourist. INFJ are the rarest personality type, making up less than 1% of the population. They love creativity and introspection, but even more-so, they love learning how to improve the world. They are likely to get far more out of long walks in Epcot and Disney’s Animal Kingdom than other areas, most likely (though this INFJ loves the PeopleMover for relaxing and thinking!). Advocates may appear extroverted, but they regularly need times to recharge and escape the craziness. The Magic Kingdom resorts are likely to prove too bonkers for them, though they may love the imagination appeal of their themes. A better choice for INFJ’s are peaceful retreats like the Beach Club, the Boulder Creek Villas, or quieter parts of Animal Kingdom Lodge. Diplomats statistically appreciate video games, so they may enjoy immersive attractions like Avatar: Flight of Passage (minus the line!) and Test Track. They’re also surprisingly likely to enjoy thrill rides. We’re an eclectic bunch.
While Advocates love a general cause, Mediators (INFP) are especially drawn to altruism and beauty. They loathe the overly practical but love seeing creative depictions of a world made harmonious. They will likely take great enjoyment from World Showcase and even attractions like It’s a Small World that show the world as it could be. They could easily get lost in Fantasyland. They are likely to enjoy gardens throughout the park and especially the Epcot festivals. An INFP will appreciate both seclusion and beauty, which would make resorts like the Boulder Ridge Villas and Copper Creek Cabins, Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Yacht and Beach Club, and even Old Key West ideal, though for a crisper experience, The Swan might be a good choice.
4. The Extrovert Diplomats – Protagonist (ENFJ) and Campaigner (ENFP)

Protagonists (ENFJ) are both altruistic and social. Diplomats tend to enjoy nature, but protagonists are very likely to appreciate causes like protecting the environment, a huge priority for the Walt Disney Company. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is an ideal environment for the Protagonist (though their personality will likely mesh will with Magic Kingdom!). We’ve brought it up a lot—it’s a great resort—but Animal Kingdom Lodge is a great choice for Protagonists. The resort has many great restaurants and social activities to feed the Protagonist’s need for activity. In particular, they might feel like they fit right in in the World of Pandora in the park.
Campaigners (ENFP) are often free-spirits who love deep meaning and relaxing. They are actually the most likely personality type to go camping, so Fort Wilderness or Wilderness Lodge might be a great choice. You can even rent a tent or a more traditional cabin! Campaigners are great at pushing a project forward, but they stress out easily, so the big three Magic Kingdom resorts are probably a bad idea. Their love for deep meaning might lead them to especially enjoy World Showcase and Animal Kingdom’s walking trails, allowing them to explore Disney World at their own pace.

Wow Jett, what an out-of-the-box article, I took the test and really enjoyed learning more about myself and how I might experience Disney attractions. I have not done the Myers-Briggs in a long time and it's cool to find out that I'm an INFP these days. I appreciate all the time you put into thinking about how each type would enjoy the rides, shows, and resorts. Your articles are always engaging! Thanks for sharing your talents with the internet community.
