Dungeons & Dragons now swarms the universe as one of the most popular role-playing games, thriving from the different friends and personalities that band together for a fantastical adventure. After all, nothing is more fun than playing a game that everyone can bring a little bit of themselves into.
And while everyone is welcome to play whoever and whatever class they wish, some personalities just find themselves better fitted with certain classes. See which class you should play based on personality types ascribed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®.
16 INTJ - Fighter
Heavy on thought and judgement, INTJs are known to be quite the strategist, leading many people to believe that reputably intellectual classes like wizards or artificers would suit INTJs best. However, fighters are the true fit instead. Despite not having a bookish reputation, fighters are intelligent in their own right. They possess a flexible mindset that allows them to freely adapt to new scenarios, sifting through their many learned fighting styles to see what is most effective. Thus, fighters would be an excellent role for INTJs since this personality can employ the imaginative adaptability needed for good fighters.
15 INTP - Artificer
Eager to tinker with ideas to build onto the theories they formulate in their head, INTPs should considering picking up a welding torch and playing as the artificer of the party. Not just an intellect that loves to understand what makes someone or something tick, INTPs are also the innovative type. An innovative itch that can be soothed by playing an artificer since they can let out their inner mad scientists and apply what they learned to whatever brilliant contraptions they're able to conjure.
14 ENTJ - Warlock
Already the type to boldly act on intuition, ENTJs tick off all (if not most of) the boxes that makes for an incredible warlock. As ENTJs are strong-willed enough to trust their own judgements, warlocks function similarly considering their background of making a deal to obtain their magic. Especially since these deals aren't the type one can easily detach themselves from, developing a strong-will becomes a must so it helps when one already possess that trait.
13 ENTP - Wizard
As curiosity constantly brews in the mind of an ENTP in a passion for knowledge, this unquenchable thirst to understand the world's mysteries are the perfect makings of a wizard.
Instead of inheriting magic in their blood like sorcerers or gaining it through deals like warlocks, magic is a learned practice for wizards. A carefully constructed and ever-expanding craft that would excite any ENTP to develop for themselves.
12 INFJ - Monk
Ah, yes. INFJs. The quiet and mystical friend who, in times of trepidation, act like bamboos in troubled winds. Stable. Unbothered. This kind of inner peace is why they should play as the remarkably self-aware monk. Already the type to stay true and dedicated, INFJs possess the discipline monks practice to achieve their own respected level of self-awareness. This allows INFJs to successfully roleplay as monks and achieve the full potential the class offers from an internalized strength.
11 INFP - Druid
Poetic and altruistic in nature, INFPs can find their personalities rooted in the druid class. Not so much poetic in that they have a natural affinity for words, but INFPs usually find a deeper purpose for why they do what they do, the same way that druids respond to a deeper calling, constantly acting and finding ways to give back to mother nature and thus, the universe. With INFPs also carrying the title of "Mediator", druids similarly fulfill a similar role through their constant missions to maintain balance between nature and its inhabitants.
10 ENFJ - Paladin
A strong will and an unwavering virtue are pillars for every ENFJ and such is the way of the paladin. Like paladins and their devotion to their oaths, ENFJs also carry a strong sense of morals, bold and apologetic in fighting for what they believe is right.
More than that, ENFJs are natural born leaders, a fitting quality for the role of a paladin as they almost act like prophets to their oath, guiding others who share their mission through their charisma.
9 ENFP - Bard
Ever the party animal, ENFPs are creative and social free spirits, making them a perfect as the charismatic bard. With an innate magnetism that draws others closer, wooing the bartender or livening the party would come naturally. And like ENFPs who excel in communicating, bards have manipulative tongues that can convince others of their wild ideas through sheer charisma.
8 ISTJ - Rogue
It seems that the shadows are ISTJs trust ally as they should play the party's trusty rogue. ISTJs are known for their objectivity, acting practically and responding more to facts than fiction. But this practicality and fact-based mindset as ISTJs' biggest strength are why they would excel as rogues, the masters of manipulation. They can look beyond it, able to extrapolate additional information from what they're already given and sense how to work around it (figuratively and literally) to best suit their mission.
7 ISFJ - Cleric
Under the holy wings of a cleric can you find the same comforting warmth and protectiveness one would otherwise find with ISFJs. Like the parents of amongst the friend group, ISFJs have a genuine care for those around them, making judgement calls based on what's best for everybody, the same way that clerics make decisions based on what is the overall best decision of the party (and really, what to do to keep all their loved ones alive).
6 ESTJ - Blood Hunter
As monsters creep through the shadows in the dead of night, blood hunters are sure to lurk nearby, ready to eliminate any threats that come for society. ESTJs would be a more than capable blood hunter as they have the organization to to efficiently sift through their mental encyclopedias of monsters and the punctuality to work under their timeline. And also not the most extroverted outright, they are able to easily bond with others in the same familial-esque service.
5 ESFJ - Bard
No, you're not seeing doubles. Bards are just versatile chameleon characters that mesh well with a multitude of different personalities. Though still rooted in the irresistible charm that comes with a bard role, ESFJs are still such personalities with the addition of primarily acting on sensing and feeling. Focused on not just their own emotions but also skilled in accurately reading a room, these social skills would make their play as the bard flourish as it makes them a natural point of inspiration for the party.
4 ISTP - Artificer
With another class repeat, this just demonstrates that though certain classes naturally fit certain personalities, classes are versatile enough to work with multiple personalities. As INTPs demonstrated the mentality that suits an artificer, ISTPs focus instead on the physical process artificers encounter when making inventions. Artificers build on the pre-existing theory in their heads through bold and fearless experimentation. A process that ISTPs can attest to through their own practice as they're also familiar with experimenting with theories based on sense and perception.
3 ISFP - Sorcerer
Bold and unafraid to tackle the big bad world, ISFPs sound like the sort to handle all the chaos that comes with sorcery. Already artistic and charmed in nature, ISFPs just need to channel that charisma to unleash their magic.
Also known for exploration to excite ISFPs, they would enjoy the self-exploration sorcerers must endure to learn how to enhance the magic inside themselves.
2 ESTP - Ranger
Commonly known to be perceptive and explorative, ESTPs carry the same qualities that make for excellent rangers. Known as "warriors of the wild", a ranger's strength comes from their ability to observe, keeping eyes and ears open for any threats that prowl in the dark. And with ESTPs' innate high energy, they are like machines built to handle everything that run amok in the forest.
1 ESFP - Barbarian
Despite being called "Entertainers" for their spontaneous and enthusiastic energy, ESFPs actually fit the barbarian role best. Spontaneous and always enthusiastic (especially for a kill), barbarians function off of bursts of energy that drive their power. This class lives for the unexpected, charging into random battles as they go into a rage. A rage that is driven by being attacked by others. Also simple, bold, and practical, all barbarians need are their trusty weapons. No need to fiddle by flipping through thousands of pages for spells.
