The Warcraft universe has been around for over two decades now, with dozens of books of lore backing up the game and making it that much richer and more emerging. That said, when World of Warcraft went online in 2004, it was bound to be a success. Since then, we've played through numerous captivating plot arcs and alongside our favorite characters from the lore.
Today, we're sorting these legendary characters - such as Sylvanas Windrunner, Arthas Menethil, and Thrall - according to their MBTI. And who knows, maybe your favorite World of Warcraft character also shares your personality type! To find out, keep reading.
10 ESFP - Arthas Menethil (The Lich King)
As a studying Paladin and the rightful heir to the throne of Lordaeron, young prince Arthas was on the path of becoming a powerful and compassionate King. Beloved by everyone, Arthas proved himself to be highly extroverted and understanding, much like any ESFP. He exhibited his desire for justice early on, yet when a horrible plague started to come over his land, Arthas was faced with a difficult decision: purging the infected city of Stratholme to prevent the spreading of the plague.
If you're an ESFP like Arthas, you're highly attuned to other people's emotions and perceptive of your environment. You tackle issues head on and learn best by doing. Aside from feeling comfortable around others, you're also highly optimistic and entertaining - characteristics that likely make you the life of every party. Yet, like Arthas, who failed to consider the consequences of his actions when he sought out the power of Frostmourne, you like to live in the moment and sometimes neglect how you decisions might reflect in the future.
9 INFJ - Jaina Proudmoore
Jaina was not always the fierce and fearless leader we know today. She grew up under the thumb of her stern mother. Aspiring to become a sorceress, she was a timid girl who would hide whenever she's scared or distressed. INFJs like Jaina are highly artistic and imaginative people whose creativity best shines when they're alone. However, if you're an INFJ like Jaina, you see virtues in everyone and have a knack for recognizing and responding well to other people's emotions. Despite your individualism, your personality makes you a dear friend. But, like Jaina, anyone foolish enough to mistake your sensitivity for weakness is in for a big surprise.
8 INFP - Malfurion Stormrage
The Archdruid and the first mortal druid of Azeroth possesses the unique INFP personality type. Like Malfurion, individuals with the "Mediator" personality type are highly connected to their environment and others. They seek to find their place in the world as well as aspire to make it a better place. Like most ISFPs, Malfurion is not the outgoing type; he prefers solitude. Yet, he is a stern protector of his people and his sacred land of Azshara.
Because of their tendency to stick to themselves and contemplate ideas or focus on things they care about, INFPs are deep thinkers and intellectuals. However, their decisions are often based on emotions and impressions rather than objective information. And while Malfurion will prohibit entrance to Azshara to anyone wishing to exploit or desecrate it, he welcomes anyone whom he considers a friend and will command all of its nature to protect them.
7 ENFP - Varian Wrynn
The King of Stormwind is also known by another name, one that echoed in the most brutal gladiator arenas of Feralas - Lo'Gosh. It's there that he proved his mastery and skill to be unrivaled. As an ENFP, you share the personality of one of the most fearless and competent warriors in the history of the Alliance. Dubbed "The Champion" for a reason, your personality type makes an outgoing, daring, and enthusiastic individual who's always looking for a new challenge. Mundane day-to-day activities bore you and you constantly aspire to greatness. And like Varian, you have the capacity to capture others' interest and attention with ease.
6 ENTJ - Garrosh Hellscream
Like him or hate him, Garrosh Hellscream is the kind of warrior every orc aspires to become. He's a fearless leader with a clear plan and the decisive attitude to make it happen. This is why he was so successful in climbing the ranks of the Horde, eventually becoming Warchief. An ENTJ like Garrosh, you take pride in being able to influence and guide others with your knowledge and competence. You also have that necessary confidence and charisma that makes everyone to look up to you, which is why you're the person to take charge when things go south.
5 INTJ - Sylvanas Windrunner
Also known as the "Banshee Queen" and the "Dark Lady," Sylvanas Windrunner is a complex character with a troubled past. Cunning, reserved, and misunderstood, she also falls into the INTJ personality type. Though once a proud Ranger-General of Silvermoon, after falling prey to Lich King's power, Sylvanas witnessed her soul ripped from her body - her mortality along with it. Fueled by hatred for the Lich King, Sylvanas would eventually see herself become just like him.
An INTJ like Sylvanas, you're a highly competitive perfectionist whose cold attitude is often interpreted as insensitive or harsh. And while you prefer solitude to excessive social interaction, you're also a passionate person with plenty of emotion and a careful planner with endless ideas for the future.
4 ENFJ - Anduin Wrynn
Losing his father Varian to Gul'dan's hunger for power, Anduin was left the crowned king of the Alliance. Before this, he was an aspiring young priest, his biggest goal being able to help and heal others. And though power is something Anduin never seeked, his new role thought him that sometimes, peace had to be fought for.
If you're also an ENFJ, your kindness and warmth make you a lovable friend everyone wants to be around. Like Anduin, you love giving more than you like receiving, and tend to always put others ahead of yourself. Sensitive and outgoing, you're able to create love and consensus where there is none.
3 ENTP - Kael'thas Sunstrider
The last of the Sunstriders, Kael'Thas is a powerful and complex sorcerer whose pride and ambition turned his own people against him. In the Warcraft series, he is depicted as a cultured, astute, and sometimes insensitive prince who's a great conversationalist. If you share these traits, you're likely an ENTP like Kael'Thas. Also known as "Debaters," ENTPs are open to other people and love a good discussion. They are constantly looking to gather new information and ideas. This proved detrimental to Kael'Thas who was tricked by the demon Kil'Jaeden who offered him the power to save his people. His personality is actually reminiscent of late prince Arthas Menethil, but unlike him, Kael'Thas is even more calculated and composed. And though you are a cool and composed intellectual, like Kael'Thas, you can be ruthless when challenged.
2 ISTP - Illidan Stormrage
One of the most prevalent and famous antiheroes of the Warcraft universe, Illidan Stormrage is the twin brother of Malfurion and the first Demon Hunter of Azeroth. Despite siding with the demon lord Kil'Jaeden and betraying his people, Illidan never lost sight of his values and his love for sorceress Tyrande. Daring, action-oriented, and a risk-seeker, Illidan has the personality of an ISTP. If you share Illidan's personality type, you hate mundane day-to-day tasks and are always ready for an adventure. You might even like extreme sports such as racing, or sky-diving. Often refusing to face your own emotions, people perceive you as confident or even insensitive. But you're a highly logical and practical person who knows how to enjoy life.
1 ISTJ - Thrall
A mighty shaman and the most beloved leader of the Horde, our favorite Warchief has the personality type of an ISTJ. Thrall is a "Logistician," he takes a practical and highly organized approach to leadership, while his war tactics are always well-thought-out and subtle. He's a generous leader, welcoming everyone into his domain, but will not take emotion into account if their actions prove them a threat. If you're an ISTJ like Thrall, you're a highly organized, systematic, and traditional person who has the capacity to take feelings out of the equation when dealing with problems. This keeps you cool and composed and makes you a great problem-solver. And though you're reserved, people look up to you for your impeccable judgment and practical world-view.
