7. The Introvert Explorers – Virtuoso (ISTP) and Adventurer (ISFP)

While Sentinels may enjoy having a good plan, Explorers (sharing the IS traits) are the exact opposite—they are an unpredictable group and too much structure will drive them bonkers. Virtuosos (ISTP) are hands-on builders, likely to become engineers or artists. They may be private, but they appreciate details, exploration, and especially any hands-on activities. Their introverted traits are likely to cause them to shy away from the busiest resorts, but they will appreciate good craftsmanship in resorts like Wilderness Lodge (including the Boulder Ridge or Copper Creek Villas) or Animal Kingdom Lodge. They love to use their senses to explore, so hands on attractions like Avatar: Flight of Passage, Test Track, the rich halls of World Showcase, and the Discovery Island trails will likely hold great appeal.

Adventurers are a much bolder group, though they still fall into the introvert category. They are extremely likely to enjoy thrills and unpredictable exploration. They love color and beauty and will appreciate gardens and artistic displays throughout the Most Magical Place on Earth. They love massaging their imaginations and deep introspection, so they are just as likely to enjoy exploring the World of Pandora at night or cruising on Soarin’ Over the World as they are white-knuckling it on Mission: Space or Expedition: Everest. Adventurers, surprisingly, can be easily stressed out, so they will likely enjoy Walt Disney World in the off-season staying somewhere relaxing. They may appreciate the scenery of The Polynesian or the Copper Creek Villas at Wilderness Lodge but are just as likely to love the peacefulness of The Beach Club.

8. The Extrovert Explorers – Entrepreneur (ESTP) and Entertainer (ESFP)

Unlike their introverted counterparts, Extroverted Explorers are far bolder. They have little patience for abstracts but love the spotlight. They are extremely perceptive and social.

Entrepreneurs (ESTP) are very risk prone and may be likely to enjoy thrill rides like coasters as well as recreational activities throughout Disney World that provide opportunities for socialization. They don’t like structure, but they do like the stage. They may enjoy elements of Disney’s Hollywood Studios but be annoyed with some of the pithiness of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Their extreme social nature will make them more likely to enjoy a busier resort like The Contemporary, The Dolphin, or The Polynesian.

Entertainers (ESFP) were born for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and all the opportunities for attention. These are the folks likely to burst out of their seats with a friend to volunteer for the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. They are extremely fun and are the life of the party! They are less likely to care if the parks are busy and instead will thrive off social opportunities like fun nights at The Atlantic Dance Club or perusing the latest fashion at Disney Springs. They love having fun and are easily bored, so they will need a trip schedule with lots to do but plenty of room for improvisation. Like Entrepreneurs, they will appreciate the busier, more flamboyant resorts like The Polynesian, The Contemporary, or even possibly Port Orleans Riverside.

Did you take the test? What is your personality trait group? With that in mind, what is your favorite resort and attraction at Walt Disney World?

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.
