Toy Story Characters Personality Types

Toy Story is a classic Disney Pixar CGI film about a small group of toys that come to life when their owner isn’t present. It was the first film to be released using only CGI and there is a third sequel set to be released next month. Here’s my analysis of the characters from the first sequel:

Toys

Main:

Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) – ISFJ

I think he’s a literal, values orientated, directive type (xSFJ) that wants to maintain and preserve the social order in the toy world.

Seems more likely that Si is higher than Fe IMO.

Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen) – ENTJ

Intuitive, thinking directive type (xNTJ) that has an approach much more focused on efficiency, results and future orientated in thinking.

Supporting:

Mr Potato Head (Don Rickles) – INTJ

Rex (voiced by Wallace Shawn)- INFP

Hamm (voiced by John Ratzenberger) – ENTP

Slinky Dog (voiced by Jim Varney) – INFP

Bo Peep (voiced by Annie Potts) – ISFP

Sarge (voiced by R. Lee Ermey) – ESTJ

Humans:

Andy (voiced by John Morris) – ISFP (a nice boy that likes playing with his toys, treats them with a lot of care and love and is loyal to his favourite toy in Woody)

Sid (voiced by Erik von Detten) – INTJ (a twisted, antisocial, skate punk that gets pleasure out of taking apart and either destroying them or rebuilding them by combining them with another toy)
