Your New Favorite Song According To Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type
Mental Floss

If you haven’t taken the MBTI personality test yet (you can do so here), you’re seriously missing out. Commonly used in marketing and counseling, the Myers-Briggs provides you with a snapshot of your personality, your strengths, and your weaknesses in the form of a four-lettered code. Each letter represents a category of personality, with two preferences -- extroverted (E) or introverted (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F), judging (J) or perceiving (P). Pretty soon, you’ll end up deeply attached to your type (I’m an ENTP, thanks for asking) and try to compare yourself to your friends on a daily basis. “Mulan? Oh, yeah, she’s definitely an S. Elsa? She’s so introverted it hurts.”

Another way for you to indulge in MBTI is through music -- a new favorite song that you’re guaranteed to connect with on another level.

ENFP -- Two Door Cinema Club, “What You Know”

Your typical class clowns. Lively and bouncy, the ENFP is as witty and enthusiastic as Two Door Cinema Club’s “What You Know.”

ENFJ -- Ingrid Michaelson, “Parachute”

ENFJ is that loyal, optimistic friend who you will always catch you if you fall. “Parachute” is a song that captures ENFJ’s bouncy nature perfectly.

INFJ -- Ellie Goulding, “Guns and Horses”

Ah, yes, the introspective, soul-searching INFJ. Ellie’s most underrated song is the perfect soundtrack for a creative, imaginative individual like you.

INFP -- Bjork, “Hyperballad”

Like Bjork, the INFP is poetic, individualistic, and idiosyncratic. “Hyperballad” epitomizes the INFP’s quirkiness in its truest form.

ENTP -- Fall Out Boy, “Centuries”

This type is my personal favorite! The ENTP is a fiery, unconventional visionary and a born leader. We’re curious and clever, and we argue simply for the intellectual challenge. Fall Out Boy’s “Centuries” is an accurate glimpse into our perspective of the world and our goals in life.

ENTJ -- Lorde, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”

Like the ENTP, the ENTJ wants to lead, not follow. They are charismatic and confident and try to achieve every goal through rationality and drive. Every ENTJ can connect to Lorde’s cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” -- even the title of the song oozes authority.

INTJ -- Coldplay, “The Scientist”

It’s funny how often I’m mistyped as an INTJ, but I take it as a compliment. INTJs are rare, intellectual masterminds -- they are creative yet decisive, ambitious yet rational. Coldplay’s “The Scientist” describes the quintessence of the INTJ -- mysteriously aloof on the outside, yet emotionally vulnerable on the inside.

INTP -- Grimes, “Go”

Like the INTJ, the INTP is uniquely inventive and vigorously intellectual, but more in a “dreamy professor” kind of way. The INTP appreciates anything that is creatively and uniquely executive -- they aspire to diverge from the norm more than any other type. Grimes, for this reason, is the ideal musical artist for the INTP, especially her single “Go.”

ESFJ -- Sara Bareilles, “I Choose You”

Like the ENFJ, the ESFJ is the supportive and outgoing best friend. While they love parties, they love hosting them even more. Sara Bareilles, in her song “I Choose You,” describes a harmonious, unbreakable relationship, one which ESFJs admire most of all.

ESTJ -- Marina and the Diamonds, “Power and Control”

ESTJs value tradition and dignity more than anything. They lead for justice; these are your ideal role models. “Power and Control” suits the ESTJ’s tendency to lead, but not without hardworking ethic.

ISTJ -- Bastille, “Durban Skies”

The ISTJ cares the most about structure, detail, and order. ISTJs make the best wedding planners due to their responsible organization and painstaking attention to detail. Bastille’s “Durban Skies” tells a story through the ISTJ’s eyes -- the little things are what bring the world to life.

ISFJ -- Jake Bugg, “Simple As This”

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. The industrious, illustrious caretakers, the ISFJ leads a calm, peaceful life. They care about structure and tradition. Jake Bugg’s “Simple As This” perfectly epitomizes the ISFJ’s journey to happiness -- pure, simple harmony.

ESFP -- Passion Pit, “Take a Walk”

Picture the ENTP, except more impulsive and effervescent. The ESFP is bound to light up any room with their laughter. Passion Pit’s “Take a Walk” is a bursting ball of energy and excitement, just like the ESFP.

ESTP -- Halsey, “Roman Holiday”

Like the ESFP, the ESTP is carefree. They live in the moment and dive into any action they find, but they don’t do it for emotion. They seek to fulfill their hedonistic lives with drama, passion, and action. Halsey’s “Roman Holiday” epitomizes the ESTP’s impulsive, edgy nature, one who always seeks adventure and never sits idle.

ISTP -- Lana Del Rey, “This Is What Makes Us Girls”

ISTPs may seem simple at first glance, but, boy, prepare for a shocking surprise. Their minds move in all sorts of directions; they are loyal and rational, but spirited and spontaneous. Lana’s “This Is What Makes Us Girls” is enigmatic and impulsive, just like the ISTP.

ISFP -- Lykke Li, “Dance, Dance, Dance”

Like Lykke Li in “Dance, Dance, Dance,” ISFPs don’t tell you -- they show you. They are true artists who break the boundaries of convention through action and aesthetic. Their gift for art allows them to color their inner world with their powerful senses and pent-up emotion.

Make your summer extraordinary, Bears. Find yourself, and success will follow!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
