Which Dessert Represents Your MBTI Personality And Why That Might Feel Like A Personal Attack: Part 4

MBTI personalities have been on the internet for a long time, and of course, we had to do something about that. Consider this a clickbait of sorts where we find the perfect pairing to 4 of the remaining 16 MBTI personalities.

This is the last installment of the MBTI-desserts series, and we have a bunch of colorful personalities lined up: some disruptors, some setting themselves on fire, and some on a quest to find the meaning of life. There is also the fourth personality, often seen as the daydreamers, who make up the inventors of the MBTI World.

This is all in good humor, and the offense taken is not on us; we are having good fun with what we do best- desserts. So buckle up or tuck yourself in and question the ways of the world or the universe and make or order that dessert while you read this article.

1. ENTP – The Debater – Granita

These folks love to disrupt the status quo with their wit and audacity; perhaps the woman who coined ‘the audacity of men’ had met an ENTP guy. There's also one for women, but we are a safe-for-work place, so Google that for yourself. They love anything controversial that will get their minds working overtime and their hearts racing. Hence, an Italian Granita is the perfect fit: handmade and available in a variety of colors. Feed them something unusual like a kombucha-flavored Granita and watch them absolutely lose their minds over it! We didn't make that up; that flavor actually exists. ENTPs aren't mean-spirited, though; they just love the offbeat path and live to be a contrarian.

2. INTP – The Logician – Macarons

The intellectuals among all the MBTI personalities, INTPs are often seen as the daydreaming folks with their head in the clouds, and that's not exactly so bad all the time. They might be that person in your life who is the quietest one, but when they open their mouth, they let escape the chaos that is in their head, in a good way. They are the dreamers who can turn their wildest fantasies into reality, so an assortment of macarons in different colors and flavors, to complement their extraordinary brains. They tend to appear withdrawn and pensive, but once they snap out of that daze, the attention they give to the person in front of them might be borderline uncomfortable; think Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Safe to say these are the most introverted MBTI personalities. Just like how we tend to leave that delicious-looking box of macarons alone when we check the price, INTPs like to be left alone after a day of intense brainstorming sessions with fellow nerds or with themselves.

3. ENFP – The Campaigners – Cannoli

Robin Williams’ character in the movie Dead Poets Society embodies the ENFP: “Carpe Diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary”. Their hunger for life and an open mind make them stand out among their peers however, popularity isn't what they seek. They also seek meaningful connections with other folks- emotional bonds to be exact. Thus, the homely Cannoli fits them best because, as insignificant as it might look, Cannoli is deeply rooted in its culture, just like ENFPs' hunger for meaningful connections with other people. In their quest to find what they seek, i.e., the magic in everyday life, they light up the lives of people they cross paths with. Just like Cannoli, this spark of inspiration for the ENFP doesn't last long. Similarly, Cannoli needs to be eaten fresh because its filling is dairy-based and can spoil, or the crunchy exterior can get soggy.

4. INFP – The Mediators – Chocolate Matcha Lava Cake

Mediators of what exactly is what they question themselves at times, for they set themselves on fire to keep others warm. INFPs are empaths who feel too much and love to daydream, much like INTPs, but their fantasies usually don't see the light of day. They feel too much and care too much, then they cry about it, so a sweet chocolate lava cake with a slightly bitter matcha to represent their touchy-feely souls. The assertive ones are stable and introspective and won't give off the existential vibe; the turbulent ones will. Feed them this gooey matcha chocolate lava cake and show them you actually care and validate their efforts, which might seem invisible to them and make them feel less seen and heard. If this sounds like that unpaid therapist in your group, step up and treat them like right now, and watch them cry.

Why MBTI and Dessert Pairings Are So Popular

There is something delightfully entertaining about seeing your personality translated into the language of food. Personality tests help you recognize yourself, while dessert pairings add a touch of fun and creativity to the experience. The Myers-Briggs personality classification framework has become especially popular on the Internet because of its 16 unique types, offering many aspects of people's character to discuss, compare, and debate.

Dessert personality quizzes provide even more opportunities for relatable conversations because food always seems relevant in our lives. A choco-rich dessert, macarons, or refreshing granita may instantly come to mind when thinking about a particular MBTI personality. Even though these dessert-personality comparisons are purely for entertainment, they make people curious about themselves and their peers. The intersection of food and psychology is what makes a dessert personality test so interesting to share on social media.

MBTI Personalities as Desserts

Seeing familiar character traits in delicious desserts is a fun exercise. Bold and argumentative ENTP could use something unexpected and refreshing, while thoughtful INTP could be represented by a dessert with layers of different tastes and complexity.

The passionate and creative ENFP could become a dessert with cultural significance and distinct personality, while INFP could find something comforting and imaginary, much like the matcha lava cake presented in this video series.

The fun of these associations is that no single dessert-personality fits everyone. People with the same MBTI type could have totally different preferences and tastes. Favorite dessert is just as likely to be influenced by memories, culture, mood, and personal taste as by one's MBTI type.

Which Dessert Matches Your Personality?

So, which dessert matches your personality? The lively and adventurous person might find something bold and creative to try, while a reflective person might prefer something understated, comforting, and elegant, such as the beautifully decorated macarons or pudding.

Lively socializers could choose desserts intended for sharing, while independent individuals would happily eat alone with their favorite treat. Traditionalists could go for something old school, while innovative types could go for the most exotic flavor offered.

This is the beauty of a dessert personality – it does not have to be taken too seriously. Try pairing your MBTI personality type with a dessert and ask your friends and relatives if they agree with your choice. You could even develop your own dessert personality test based on favorite flavors and textures. Discovering which dessert matches your personality is much more entertaining when there is something sweet to eat in the end.
