If MBTI left you finally feeling seen and heard, we are sharpening our knives and warming up our ovens. Us Cadbury connoisseurs love to twiddle our thumbs a little, take silly quizzes, and eat desserts. This article is to be taken lightly and is all in good humor, just like life.
You clicked on the article wondering what the heck is an MBTI, is that another Gen Z slang, or is the writer plain crazy? Right on both counts, while MBTI might not be modern Gen Z lingo, it is a pseudoscience that we feel even the scientists dabble in during their off-office hours. Here’s the thing – the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) divides people into 16 types based on the way they function, basically. The test is free to take, if you don’t know yours, and we did not get paid for this, definitely not.
So, get ready to feel uncomfortably exposed and seen as we roll the dice and pull out your deepest darkest traits and present them in the form of desserts! Desserts are a fairly simple affair, they won’t solve your problems but they sure can give you the sugar rush to push you to do what needs to be done. If you haven’t taken the test scroll up, click on the link, and do it, right now. Do come back, once you’ve spent enough time Googling the life out of your personality type, for your dessert soulmate awaits you!
Honest to the creator, we mean the dessert, not the little man with the hat from Italy who became the Emperor of France. So why does the Napolean embody the executive that ESTJ is? ESTJs possess great fortitude and love a good structure to everything and the layered puff pastry, Napolean with its pastry cream filling captures these traits pretty well. Think of them as your local mayor, and their role in shaping communities, they are calm after the storm, sweeping the twigs and shattered glass away and comforting people. Treat them like the royalty they are and feed them this meticulously made dessert that is light but also savory and give them a break from reality and the labyrinth of their minds.
The logicians are the tried and tested trusters of the 16 personalities and living out their retirement plans since their birth. Got an undiagnosed person you know who is pretty predictable but once in a while it seems they are down to play and play really well at that? They are probably ISTJs. Give them a creme brulee and tell them to crack the top then dip their spoon into the pudding-like interior and watch their faces light up. We don’t roast grandfathers, we love them. Give your ISTJ loved one a tight hug the next time you see them or a creme brulee because they tend to be wound up too tight and could use the grounding.
If you know someone who is absolutely fearless, a realist, and takes charge of their own life, then they probably are an ENFJ. It completely makes sense, Lord Voldemort and Blair Waldorf are peak commanders in their own right, never doubting their decisions and never backing off until of course, they don’t exist anymore. You have to be a certain type to like cheesecakes because somehow it is a dessert despite being less sweet and having a creamy tanginess to them. We can see Blair appreciating a cheesecake, but she might be a tad mean and just eat macarons instead because being an ENFJ, she had planned on eating them ages ago and our suggestion needs 365 business days to be considered. As for Lord Voldy, we can’t say, but in another world where he isn’t scheming, which isn’t possible, he might’ve liked the delicate cheesecake.
If there was one phrase these goons- erm… geniuses own is, “a tough nut to crack”, they are the Scorpios of the MBTI spectrum if we dare say. Extremely quick-witted and will finish your sentences, heck no, actually your thoughts for you or in extreme cases they will have done the deed you were thinking of doing next. Kind of gives the feel of one’s misunderstood dad who tries his best to provide and care for his family but when it comes to opening up, you’d have better luck at swimming to the earth’s core and back and living to tell the tale. So a simple but sophisticated dessert for these misunderstood and quite lonely souls. Don’t let the complex name fool you, we don’t speak French but we are pretty sure it translates to a homely but dad-like light custard flavored with coffee.
