What Big Mouth Character Are You, Based On Your MBTI® Type?

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, popularly abbreviated to MBTI®, categorizes individuals into 16 distinct subtypes, each with unique sets of behavioral traits and character motivations. The questionnaire takes eight major features into account — intuition/sensing, extraversion/introversion, perceiving/judging, and intuition/sensing — and produces four-letter personality categories.

Big Mouth's critical success can be traced to its cast of compelling characters, none of whom are one-dimensional caricatures of reality. Though its plausibility has been questioned, the MBTI® test can help classify these characters according to their unique personalities.

10 ISFP — Nick Is Genuinely Courteous, Considerate, And In Tune With His Environment

As a typical ISFP, Nick is genuinely courteous, considerate, and in tune with his environment. The Shame Wizard's attempt to shame Nick fails precisely due to the latter's immutable sense of self-esteem. While Nick does develop a few insecurities over the course of Big Mouth, his upbringing helps him adjust to changes without expending emotional effort.

He enjoys his autonomy and despises the idea of sacrificing his dignity for any reason. At the same time, Nick tries to avoid conflict as much as possible, explaining why he often finds himself in pointless self-destructive spirals.

9 ESTJ — Missy Is Pragmatic, Productive, And Thoroughly Organized

Missy Foreman-Greenwald is a well-rounded character, as ESTJs tend to be. She has an answer to every problem, even if her sensible explanations are frequently sidelined and dismissed. Missy embodies the ESTJ work ethic by being practical, productive, and thoroughly organized.

Missy is one of the smartest students at Bridgeton Middle, if not the smartest. That said, her academic intelligence doesn't interfere with her romantic fantasies, initially directed at actor Nathan Fillion. Missy still has a lot to learn, but she already knows more than most characters in Big Mouth.

8 ESFJ — Jessi Struggles To Maintain Balance In Her Fractured Home Life

Jessi is trapped in a self-fulfilling prophecy from Season 1. Her parents' separation and subsequent divorce take a massive emotional toll on her, even after Greg and Shannon become friends. Jessi expects her parents to be as devoted and committed as she is, but they're not ESFJs like she is.

They believe that staying together would cause more harm than good, a logical point that flies way over Jessi's naive head.

All things said and done, Jessi just wants her mom and dad to appreciate her presence.

7 ENTP — Maury's Resourcefulness Helps Him Find Unique Solutions To Complex Challenges

Maury is a Hormone Monster, which means every single one of his thoughts revolves around sex. He perceives the entire world as one big double entendre— his suggestions can sometimes be a little too disgusting for Andrew.

However, this also proves Maury's resourcefulness and ingenuity, features commonly found in ENTP personalities. He is capable of finding unique solutions to complex challenges, especially when it comes to self-love. Maury gets easily distracted, though, explaining why he rarely does the same thing twice.

6 ISTP — The Shame Wizard Relies Almost Exclusively On Efficiency And Creativity

As Big Mouth's resident Shame Wizard, Lionel derives both sustenance and joy through humiliation. He provokes people until their innermost feelings of shame and embarrassment come to the surface. The Shame Wizard behaves differently in personal and professional settings, automatically making him an ISTP.

This MBTI® category is associated with adaptability and analysis, although Lionel's emotional balance is almost always disturbed whenever his mother is involved. ISTPs rely on efficiency and creativity, the two most important tools in any self-respecting Shame Wizard's arsenal.

5 ENFP — Coach Steve Is Deeply Passionate, Radiantly Optimistic, And Utterly Whimsical

People belonging to the ENFP category are deeply passionate, whimsical, and resilient. They make friends quickly and without judgment, and it doesn't take a lot to make them happy. Coach Steve's desire for human connection can be traced to his lifetime of loneliness, but he doesn't allow his miserable past to affect his ebullient personality.

Steve's spontaneity can sometimes be a little too much to handle, like when he randomly calls people his "best friends," totally oblivious to their obvious discomfort. On the other hand, Steve's radiant optimism is a definitive trait of the ENFP category.

4 ISFJ — Andrew Is Slowly Becoming More Responsible With Each Passing Season

Despite his pubertal pangs and occasionally brutish behavior, Andrew is a fairly empathetic person. He spends the vast majority of his time finding new ways to spend time alone, but it's clear that he has a powerful conscience hidden behind his decidedly inappropriate thought process.

Andrew's loyalty, compassion, and tenderness are often lost in the mists of adolescence, but these characteristics firmly define him as an ISFJ personality. Andrew is slowly becoming more and more responsible with each passing season, but he is yet to take full accountability for his actions and choices.

3 INFJ — Connie Knows Exactly How To Help Her Clients Achieve Their Goals

INFJ personalities enjoy learning about people's ambitions, motivations, hopes, dreams, and personal philosophies.

Being an INFJ, Connie knows exactly how to help her clients achieve their goals, regardless of their gender.

As Nick's Hormone Monstress, Connie helps him come to terms with his slow-paced puberty, imparting sage pieces of advice amidst a flurry of hyperbolic exaggerations. Connie's resolve is nigh-unbreakable, as proven by her evolving relationship with Maury in Human Resources.

He doesn't tolerate anyone trampling all over his principles, even if they do it unwittingly or in good humor. Although Matthew's extravagant nature conflicts with the ISTJ's typically modest personality, his desire for internal structure is reflective of the ISTJ's core identity.
