ISFP – Samwell Tarly
ISFPs are great listeners and friends. They also love life, can be spontaneous and likes to be at peace. Of all the Game of Thrones characters, it makes sense Jon Snow’s best friend Sam is an ISFP.
Sam’s father forced him to enter the Night’s Watch so that he, the oldest in his family, couldn’t inherit the head of House Tarly. (Man, I really don’t feel bad for him now.) Even though he isn’t the best fighter or even the bravest of the bunch, he’s smart and perceptive.
He’s a great listener. When Bran told him of Jon’s actual lineage, he was able to recount something Gilly read to him at the Citadel, that may have made no sense then, but proved what Bran was saying was the truth. It reveals one of the biggest mysteries of Game of Thrones: who the actual heir of the Iron Throne is. Thanks to Sam (and Bran) we know!

ENFP – Margaery Tyrell
An ENFP creates his or her own destiny in life, based on their intuition and cleverness. Margaery always adapted to her surroundings.
The Champion personality loves to start new projects. She was meant to be a queen, and it took her a few betrothals to finally become one. When one king kicked the bucket, she found another, until she finally sat beside one. She had to be optimistic and inventive to overcome such obstacles. Although, she couldn’t overcome her final one: getting out of the Great Sept before it blew up by wildfire.

INFP – Sansa Stark
An INFP tends to find the beauty in otherwise harrowing times. They are usually reserved and quiet, but they can also be creative and passionate.
Sansa Stark personifies and INFP perfectly. We watched Sansa grow from a shy little girl to a fierce and confident woman. She may have gone through traumatic and horrifying experiences, but it only made her true personality come to life. They made her stronger.
