Type Heroes: Which Hero of Legend Will You Be?

April 30, 2013 / Calise Sellers

Let me introduce to you the most archetypal tale that has been played throughout the ages; a sweeping epic with sixteen protagonists; sixteen larger-than-life heroes that are each unique in purpose, style, thought and action and, like old friends, we would feel incomplete without any one. Each has their own treacherous journey to travail as they endeavor to stay true to themselves and not be overcome by the choices and obstacles that get in their way.

Cooking with an ENTP: Gluten-Free Mexican Bean Crepes

April 13, 2013 / Calise Sellers

I’m in the middle of a series, “Type Heroes: Which Hero of Legend will you be?“–coming soon to a blog near you; but in the meantime I thought I’d share something else with you… my breakfast.

Like most things with ENTP’s, this meal began with a concept; a challenge: Could I make gluten and corn-free wraps from the ingredients I had around?

“We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on.”

“I’ve got 24 hours to get rid of this bozo, or the entire scheme I’ve been setting up for 18 years goes up in smoke, and you are wearing his merchandise?!?”

It takes a special individual to have buggy yellow eyes, spiky teeth and flame hair and still be able to bring sexy back. This is Hades, Lord of the Dead. Hi, how ya doin’? Is it any surprise that Hercules’s Hades is my favorite Disney villain?

There were just too many good Hades quotes so I had to narrow them down to my favorites. Though they aren’t nearly so smooth if not read in James Woods’s voice. Apparently before he came to the part, Hades was just menacing; not wise-cracking and quick on the draw.

“I’m a big tough girl. I tie my own sandals and everything.”

“I thought my heart had learned its lesson. It feels so good when you start out.
My head is screaming get a grip, girl!
Unless you’re dying to cry your heart out…”

I love Megara from Disney’s Hercules. She’s dynamic, clever, well drawn and the closest thing to a Disney princess ENTP girls are ever going to get. Eh, we’re one of the rarest female types so we’ll get over it.* Plus, she’s awesome! So yay.

INFJ

“I have often dreamed of a far off place,
where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
and the crowds will cheer when they see my face and the voice keeps saying,
‘This is where I’m meant to be.'”

“I want to become a hero, a true hero.”

Disney’s Hercules is one of my favorite characters to reference when helping people understand INFJ’s, because he’s just *such* a classic example. He typifies an INFJ archetype which I love so accurately, I call it Hercules Syndrome… as of right now. Seriously, I just named it.
