I took the Keirsey temperament sorter, an online Myers-Briggs test, and discovered I'm an ENTP. I share this personality type with figures like Walt Disney, Richard Feynman, and Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.
The Keirsey temperament sorter is an online Myers-Briggs test. My type is ENTP, which I share with Walt Disney, Richard Feynman, Steve Jobs and Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes.)
I shared links to complete online archives of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips and compiled my own collection of typed quotes from the series. I also included a resource for humorous advice from Calvin's dad.

I'm transcribing every Calvin and Hobbes comic strip into text to build a searchable archive. This lets me quickly find specific moments, from Tracer Bullet’s noir monologues to Dad’s creative explanations for how the world works.
I found a fascinating comparison between Fight Club and Calvin and Hobbes, arguing that the movie is essentially a dark reimagining of the comic strip's core dynamic and the nature of imaginary friends.
