The Simpsons Characters - Personality Types

The Simpsons is one of the most renowned, longest running and successful animated series in TV history.

The show is the creation of Matt Groening and is centred on the Simpsons family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, and their life in the fictional town of Springfield.

The show provide a parodying a typical American working-class family as well as many aspects of society, culture and people.

Here's my read of the show's main and minor characters:

Main Characters:

Homer Simpson – ESFP

An Extroverted Perceiver that is fun loving, lives in the moment, experiences life through his senses and wears his heart on his sleeve.

Marge Simpson – ISFJ

The concern and attention to detail of Si is the prevalent theme with Marge’s character – she provides a good balance to Homer’s character.

Bart Simpson – ESTP

Also a fun loving, live in the moment, go with the flow type like Homer, but with a much more tactical and persuasive side (Ti/Fe).
