10 The Witcher Characters Sorted By Their MBTI®

The Witcher was a series of novels, and then a video game, and now a Netflix show. The open-world games with stunning scenery and amazing characters have built a huge fanbase, so it’s only to be expected that the show will be amazing too. And yes, the characters are definitely some of the main attraction! While it’s easy for characters to fall flat in games, the Witcher games took these from the books and managed to keep everyone three dimensional.

So if you want to get to know the characters of this world more, take a look at their Myers-Briggs® types. At least, what I’ve typed them as — do you agree?

10 10. Geralt: ISFP, The Adventurer

Geralt is the main character of the series. A man contracted to hunt monsters, often showing some monstrous qualities himself, he’s private and often seems to straddle the fine line between hero and villain. Although he’s far from an evil person, he’s not the typical golden boy either, often shown as a fantasy hero. This murky morality is what makes him interesting.

Personally, I would type him as an ISFP. He’s nothing if not an adventurer — he travels all over the world looking for new contracts, seeking out monsters, never content to stay in one place. And his privacy definitely makes him an introvert.

9 9. Yennefer: INTJ, The Architect

Yennefer is one of the main ladies of the series, along with Geralt’s most recurring and constant love interest. They were bound together by a spell and, in the game, you can make the choice to have them love each other even outwith the magic or not. In the books, she’s pretty much his main woman, even though he tends to sleep around.

Yennefer herself is as enigmatic and private as Geralt, but much sharper, and much more thought-out. This makes her an INTJ. She’s intelligent and intimidating, as quick-witted as she is mysterious, and she couldn’t possibly be anything else than the architect type.

8 8. Dandelion: ESFP, The Entertainer

Dandelion is one of the characters I don’t particularly love on any deep level, but he’s good for entertainment value. A bard friend of Geralt’s, he loves to perform his music and tell stories. Most notably, he takes credit for Geralt’s stories, often inserting himself in the position of the protagonist and painting Geralt as someone who needed saving when in reality, it was the other way around.

He craves attention and loves having people listen to him, therefore he could only be an ESFP. He’s one of the least introverted characters in the series and is actually almost textbook ESFP.

7 7. Ciri: ENFP, The Campaigner

Ciri is one of the other main ladies in the series, but she’s not a love interest of Geralt’s. We see her as a child in the books but in the Witcher 3 video game, she comes into her own as an adult and we even get to play as her at points. A child of the emperor with extreme magical powers who just wants to become a witcher with Geralt, she’s an extremely likable character for her ferocity and sass that carries her throughout the story.

She’s a creative, enthusiastic spirit, and this makes her an ENFP. Ciri may actually be my favorite character in the whole series after the third game...

6 6. Triss: ENFJ, The Protagonist

Triss is Geralt’s other main love interest aside from Geralt. Although he ultimately decides they’re better as friends in the books, you can choose her to be your main romance option in the game. She was once involved with Geralt when he had amnesia and forgot Yennefer even existed, a source of tension between the two women since Triss kind of did take advantage of Geralt. Despite some questionable actions in her love life though, she’s a fierce, charismatic woman who often takes charge and executes great plans. This makes her a very likable ENFJ.

She just sometimes needs to make better choices...

5 5. Olgierd: ENTJ, The Commander

Moving into the DLCs now and also into the realm of a more clear-cut villain. In the Heart Of Stone expansion, we meet Olgierd, a man who seems fairly mysterious at first but seems to be the leader of a pretty questionable group. I won’t spoil it, in case you haven’t yet played the DLC, but you should. The mysteries surrounding Olgierd are a great story to play through and the fight that happens between he and Geralt is one of the most cinematic in the game.

He also has an awesome costume.

Olgierd is an ENTJ through and through; he commands people effortlessly, seems to need to be in charge, and is a definite extravert.

4 4. Iris: ISFP, The Adventurer

I am, again, trying not to spoil anything in case you haven’t played the DLC, but Iris is Olgierd’s wife in this story. She seems to be a very sad person when we’re first introduced to her, dressing in all black because she’s in mourning, and she appears already shrouded in mystery; most of the DLC is played not even aware that Olgierd had a wife. Her scenes have some amazing sequences, including Geralt facing some of her nightmares that will chill you to the bone.

We see flashbacks to before she was quite so sad and it becomes clear that Iris is an ISFP at heart. Warning, though — her story will make you cry if you have a heart.

3 3. Regis: INFJ, The Advocate

In the other DLC, Blood and Wine, we meet Regis. Blood and Wine is my favorite Witcher story because the characters are just so rich. Regis was Geralt’s friend in the books but was reintroduced in this story. A vampire who’s hundreds of years old, he’s not only a creature of the night but a higher vampire; making him very powerful indeed.

Despite his troubles and the fact that vampires tend to be stereotyped as evil, Regis is one of the most charming and fair characters in the series; he seems eager to help even those he doesn’t like. He’s altruistic and wants to get to the heart of people’s troubles and solve them.

2 2. Anna Henrietta: ESTJ, The Executive

Duchess of Toussaint, ex-lover of Dandelion, and all round HBIC is Anna Henrietta. She’s trying to solve some troubles in her home region and calls in the help of Geralt, which begins the whole expansion story in the first place. It’s clear that she’s frustrated she can’t solve these issues on her own and has absolutely no problem bossing around even those she just met.

She doesn’t suffer fools gladly, often telling off even Geralt when she feels he’s not performing up to par. She’s one of the few women in the series that Geralt doesn’t have a romance option with. Clearly, she wasn’t particularly interested and had no time for that nonsense.

1 1. Syanna: An INFJ Who Became An INTJ?

One of the so-called villains of Blood and Wine is Sylvia Anna, or Syanna. She’s my favorite character in the entire world of The Witcher because she’s so complicated. Once a child who was shunned by her parents for a myriad of reasons, she would take the entire blame for trouble her sister helped her cause just because she didn’t want Anna to get in trouble. Eventually exiled, she became twisted and bitter, starting to calculate careful plans to get revenge on those who had wronged her.

If it’s possible to change personality type throughout life—and there’s a lot of debate on whether it is—Syanna is fictional proof. Seemingly an INFJ as a child, she became an INTJ in her older life when circumstances called for it.
