Screenwriting advice is one-size-fits-all, but writers aren't.

An INFJ struggling with structure needs fundamentally different guidance than an INTP struggling with emotion—yet most craft education treats them identically. We measured 509 scripts across 17 personality types and 8 craft dimensions to find the patterns that traditional pedagogy misses: which skills come naturally to your type, which ones resist practice, and which interventions actually move the needle.

Below you'll find radar charts showing how each type develops across skill levels, a Gifts & Gaps table diagnosing strengths and blind spots, and a Genre Gravity heatmap revealing which stories your psychology gravitates toward. Think of this page as the diagnostic—then click through to any type's full profile for the prescription.

The Data

509 screenplays analyzed across 8 craft dimensions. Writers self-reported their personality types (MBTI and Enneagram).

What's Different

Measured craft, not personality theory. Feelers struggle with emotion on the page. Peacemakers write surprisingly dark.

MBTI Types Myers-Briggs categorizes people by how they perceive and make decisions. We focus on Intuitive types (N) because we don't have enough Sensing types (S) for reliable patterns yet.

The MBTI framework divides writers into 16 types. Our data shows the clearest patterns among Intuitive types (N)—those who focus on possibilities rather than concrete details. We don't yet have enough Sensing types (S) to draw reliable conclusions.

F Feelers Feelers (F) make decisions based on values and how choices affect people. In writing, they gravitate toward character emotion—but often struggle with plot pressure and structural mechanics. n=273 · Natural empathy, universal pressure gaps
ENFP
The Joyful Explorer
Only type with statistically significant joy (+19.6%). Infectious energy that readers love.
↑ Structure +302% growth ↑ Characters +6.9%
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
ENFPs bring an infectious spark that readers respond to. They're the only type with statistically significant joy in their scripts (+19.6%). Character work is strong from the start, and Structure improves 302% from beginner to advanced—one of the highest growth trajectories in our data.
Gap
Engagement scores peak at intermediate, then actually drop at advanced—over-polishing seems to kill the magic. Stakes stay flat across all skill levels; the pressure mechanics never fully develop.
Move
Use your elite structure as a scaffold for chaos, not a cage. Restore the play and spontaneity that made your early work engaging. Structure should enable your voice, not replace it.

ENFJ
The Idealistic Visionary
Exceptional momentum—stories MOVE. Highest pacing growth among all Feelers.
↑ Pacing +9.6 percentile ↑ Engagement +9.3
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
ENFJs write stories with exceptional forward momentum. Their pacing is the highest among Feelers, and engagement tracks upward across all skill levels. They combine the emotional sensitivity of F-types with a natural drive toward narrative propulsion.
Gap
Small sample size (n=18) limits confidence, but the pattern suggests emotional depth can sometimes overpower mechanical precision. The gap between their momentum and their structural foundation becomes visible at advanced levels.
Move
Your velocity is rare. Build structural checkpoints that harness it—ensure every scene has a clear turning point, not just emotional momentum. Channel the drive into irreversible story changes.
Full ENFJ profile →
INFJ
The Visionary Architect
Highest emotional ceiling of any type. Structure growth from 12th → 67th percentile with skill.
↑ Emotion 80.5 at advanced ↑ Structure +435% growth
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
INFJs achieve the highest emotional scores of any type at advanced level (80.5 percentile). Their growth trajectory is extraordinary—Structure jumps from 12th percentile at beginner to 60th at advanced, a 435% improvement that shows genuine craft development.
Gap
Thematic depth sometimes substitutes for concrete action. Scenes can be emotionally rich but structurally unanchored—the reader feels something without knowing what changed. Pacing tends to drift.
Move
Anchor every thematically rich scene with an irreversible choice. Your emotional intelligence is elite—pair it with mechanical precision. Force characters to act, not just feel.

INFP
The Authentic Dreamer
Steady growth across every dimension. Consistent emotional resonance from day one.
↑ Emotion consistently high ↑ Structure 2→47 percentile
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
INFPs show the most consistent growth arc of any type—every dimension improves steadily from beginner to advanced. Their emotional authenticity creates a foundation that other skills build on. Structure rises from 2nd to 47th percentile with skill.
Gap
Starting scores are among the lowest in the dataset (Structure at 2nd percentile, Pacing at 12th). The growth is real, but it starts from far behind. Conflict and Stakes remain underdeveloped even at advanced.
Move
Your authenticity is your engine. Build mechanical skills deliberately—study Structure and Pacing as learnable crafts. The emotional core is already there; the architecture is what you're building around it.

T Thinkers Thinkers (T) make decisions based on logic and objective analysis. In writing, they excel at plot mechanics, conflict escalation, and structural precision—but often struggle with emotional warmth and character intimacy. n=136 · Logic-driven, warmth gaps
ENTJ
The Strategic Executor
Highest beginner engagement (69.6). Natural command of pacing and stakes.
↑ Engagement 69.6 at beginner ↑ Stakes +62.6 beginner
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
ENTJs arrive with the highest beginner Engagement (69.6) in the dataset. They command attention from page one. Pacing and Stakes are naturally strong—they understand how to create forward pressure instinctively.
Gap
Small sample (n=14) limits confidence, but the pattern shows Emotion and Stakes can actually decline at advanced. The commander's instinct can become rigid—control replaces the natural energy of earlier work.
Move
Maintain the natural authority while developing vulnerability. Your beginner instincts are excellent—resist over-engineering. Let characters surprise you instead of executing a plan.
Full ENTJ profile →
ENTP
The Strategic Experimenter
Massive structural growth. Crime affinity (+77%). Highest advanced Structure percentile.
↑ Structure 14→77 percentile ↑ Characters 33→71
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
ENTPs show the most dramatic craft development in the dataset. Structure climbs from 14th to 77th percentile, Characters from 33rd to 71st. Their experimental nature means they absorb feedback and iterate relentlessly. At advanced, they're among the strongest all-around writers.
Gap
Engagement drops at advanced (15→37→30), mirroring the ENFP pattern—polishing can kill spark. Beginners start very low across the board, suggesting raw talent takes time to manifest.
Move
Your growth engine is elite. Protect engagement by preserving the restless experimental energy even as technical skill rises. Don't let structural mastery flatten your voice.
Full ENTP profile →
INTJ
The Strategic Architect
Balanced growth. Conflict and Stakes develop strongly with skill.
↑ Conflict 44→58 ↑ Dialogue 45→63
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
INTJs show the most balanced growth profile among Thinkers. Conflict and Stakes both develop strongly—they naturally understand tension architecture. Dialogue improves from 45th to 63rd percentile, suggesting they learn to write convincing voices through systematic practice.
Gap
Pacing remains a persistent weakness (7th→12th→17th percentile)—the lowest Pacing growth of any Thinker. Their methodical approach can make scenes feel deliberate rather than alive. Engagement also stays below 33rd percentile.
Move
Pacing is your development frontier. Study rhythm and scene velocity—your architecture skills are strong, but the experience of reading needs to feel dynamic. Cut scenes that inform but don't propel.
Full INTJ profile →
INTP
The Logical Architect
Highest Emotion at advanced (89.2). Surprising emotional ceiling beneath logical surface.
↑ Emotion 54→89 percentile ↑ Stakes consistently above 50
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
INTPs produce the most surprising finding in our data: their advanced Emotion score (89.2) is the highest of any type. The logical thinker has the deepest emotional well. Stakes are naturally strong, and their conceptual thinking creates genuinely original premises.
Gap
Structure actually decreases at advanced (31→13), one of the only types to regress on a core dimension. Pacing stays persistently low (13–19th percentile). The ideas outrun the execution.
Move
Your emotional depth is a hidden superpower—lean into it. But your architecture needs external scaffolding. Use beat sheets, outlines, and structural frameworks as tools, not constraints.
Full INTP profile →

Enneagram Types The Enneagram describes 9 types based on core motivations and fears. Unlike MBTI (how you think), Enneagram describes why you do what you do—useful for understanding character motivation.

The Enneagram organizes personality around core fears and desires. The 9 types cluster into three centers—Body, Heart, and Head—each shaping how writers approach story differently.

B Body Center (8, 9, 1) Body types write from gut instinct. Their scripts are visceral and physically grounded—strong on raw conflict and stakes—but can lack emotional nuance and character interiority. Gut instinct · Visceral conflict · Autonomy-driven
Type 8
The Challenger
Most dramatic growth arc. Advanced scores dominate across nearly every dimension.
↑ Structure 39→73 percentile ↑ Dialogue 63→88
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 8s show the most dramatic growth arc in our data. At advanced, they dominate: Structure 73rd, Dialogue 88th, Characters 77th, Pacing 68th. The Challenger's intensity translates into scripts that demand attention—fearless confrontation and powerful voices.
Gap
Beginner scores are extremely low (Pacing 0, Conflict 8.5, Stakes 14). The intensity works against beginners—raw power without craft. Small sample (n=12) limits confidence, but the pattern is striking.
Move
Your growth potential is unmatched—invest in craft early. The data shows that when 8s learn technique, they become formidable. Channel the natural intensity into precision rather than force.
Full Type 8 profile →
Type 9
The Peacemaker
Writes surprisingly dark. High Emotion and Conflict scores defy the peacemaker stereotype.
↑ Emotion 68→78 percentile ↑ Conflict consistently above 50
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 9s are the biggest stereotype-breaker in our data. The "Peacemaker" writes surprisingly dark—Emotion scores are consistently high (68→67→78), and Conflict stays above 50th percentile at every skill level. Their scripts carry emotional weight that belies their peaceful exterior.
Gap
Pacing is the persistent weakness (9→22→32)—the peacemaker's tendency to avoid urgency manifests as slow scene velocity. Engagement follows a similar pattern, suggesting readers feel the depth but not the pull.
Move
Your emotional darkness is an asset—don't soften it. Focus on pacing: give your scenes ticking clocks and time pressure. The conflict is there; it just needs urgency.
Full Type 9 profile →
Type 1
The Reformer
Volatile growth pattern. Intermediate spike in Dialogue (81st) and Emotion (84th).
↑ Dialogue peaks at 81 ↑ Emotion peaks at 84
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 1s show a volatile but fascinating pattern. Their intermediate scores spike dramatically—Dialogue hits 81st and Emotion 84th percentile. The Reformer's perfectionism, when harnessed, produces technically precise and emotionally resonant work.
Gap
Small sample (n=9) and wild variance between levels. Conflict drops from 52 to 6 at intermediate. The perfectionist's tendency to revise may over-correct—smoothing out the rough edges that gave the work energy.
Move
Your standards drive quality but can paralyze. Protect the raw energy of early drafts. When revising, measure what you're removing as carefully as what you're refining.

H Heart Center (2, 3, 4) Heart types lead with emotional intelligence—vivid characters, natural empathy, powerful emotional arcs. But they can struggle with plot mechanics and structural discipline when feeling overrides function. Emotional intelligence · Character-driven · Identity-focused
Type 2
The Helper
Highest beginner scores in the dataset. Natural-born storytellers from day one.
↑ Emotion 88.7 at beginner ↑ Structure 63 at beginner
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 2s arrive with the highest beginner scores in our entire dataset—Emotion at 88.7, Structure at 63, Characters at 70. They are natural storytellers whose empathy translates directly to craft. The Helper's instinct to understand people makes their character work immediately compelling.
Gap
Dramatic intermediate dip—nearly every metric drops significantly before recovering at advanced. Very small sample (n=9). Characters drops from 70 to 58 to 38 at advanced, the opposite of expected growth.
Move
Your instincts are extraordinary—trust them. The intermediate dip likely reflects over-learning rules that conflict with natural ability. Preserve the beginner's empathy while adding technical range.
Full Type 2 profile →
Type 3
The Achiever
High Conflict and Stakes at beginner. Performance-driven pacing that commands attention.
↑ Conflict 67.8 at beginner ↑ Stakes 64.3 at beginner
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 3s write with natural urgency. Beginners already show strong Conflict (67.8) and Stakes (64.3)—the Achiever's competitive drive translates directly into narrative tension. Pacing grows dramatically from 22nd to 60th percentile at advanced.
Gap
Small sample (n=16). Pacing crashes to 1.2 at intermediate before recovering spectacularly at advanced (59.8). Conflict and Stakes actually decline with skill—the achiever learns to nuance but may lose edge.
Move
Your natural competitive energy is a storytelling asset. The intermediate valley is where you're learning—push through. At advanced, channel the drive into character complexity rather than just plot tension.
Full Type 3 profile →
Type 4
The Individualist
Highest consistent Emotion scores. Characters reach 75th percentile at advanced.
↑ Emotion 77→81→88 ↑ Characters 48→53→75
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 4s are the emotional heavyweights. Their Emotion scores rise relentlessly (77→81→88)—the highest sustained emotional output of any type. Characters grow from 48th to 75th percentile. The Individualist's depth of feeling creates scripts that resonate viscerally.
Gap
Structure is volatile (8→32→25)—it develops then regresses. Pacing stays low (13→15→20). The emotional depth can become self-indulgent—scenes linger in feeling without advancing story. Engagement never rises above 37th percentile.
Move
Your emotional intensity is irreplaceable—no type matches it. Now build the container: every emotionally rich scene needs a structural function. Give the depth a direction and the audience a reason to follow.
Full Type 4 profile →
H Head Center (5, 6, 7) Head types architect story through analysis—tight conceptual frameworks, strong worldbuilding, original premises. But scripts can feel clinical when ideas outrun emotional connection. Analytical · Concept-driven · Cerebral storytelling
Type 5
The Investigator
Highest intermediate scores in dataset. Stakes at 87th, Conflict at 82nd.
↑ Stakes 87 at intermediate ↑ Structure 47→79
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 5s peak spectacularly at intermediate—Stakes hits 87th, Conflict 82nd, Structure 79th percentile. The Investigator's depth of research and analytical rigor creates scripts with extraordinary tension architecture and intellectual weight.
Gap
Very small sample (n=11). Advanced scores dip from the intermediate peak across most metrics. Beginner Pacing is near zero (1st percentile). The investigation can produce dense, slow-starting scripts before craft develops.
Move
Your intermediate mastery is rare—you absorb craft deeply. Guard against over-refinement at advanced. The intermediate fire comes from engagement with the material; keep that intensity as polish increases.

Type 6
The Loyalist
Strong Structure growth (1→63). Highest advanced Conflict and Stakes among Head types.
↑ Structure 1→63 percentile ↑ Dialogue 37→66
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 6s show extraordinary Structure growth—1st to 63rd percentile, one of the highest jumps in our data. Dialogue improves from 37th to 66th. The Loyalist's vigilance translates into careful, well-constructed narratives where every element earns its place.
Gap
Small sample (n=16). Emotion and Conflict dip at intermediate before recovering. Engagement never rises above 40th percentile. The careful approach can make scripts feel controlled rather than alive.
Move
Your structural discipline is a foundation. Now take risks within it—let scenes surprise you, let characters misbehave. The architecture is sound; invite some chaos inside it.
Full Type 6 profile →
Type 7
The Enthusiast
Biggest beginner-to-advanced character growth. Characters rise from 8th to 71st percentile.
↑ Characters 8→71 percentile ↑ Emotion 36→79
▼
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Edge
Type 7s undergo the most dramatic Character transformation—from 8th to 71st percentile. Emotion follows a parallel trajectory (36→79). The Enthusiast's scattered energy, once focused, produces vivid characters and emotional resonance that the beginner version lacks entirely.
Gap
Beginners start devastatingly low across nearly every dimension (Characters 8th, Engagement 9th, Structure 0.2). Conflict drops from 54 to 27 at intermediate. The Enthusiast's restlessness creates unfocused early work.
Move
Your growth ceiling is extraordinary—no type transforms more. Commit to the boring work of craft early, because the data shows it pays off spectacularly. Your advanced self is a different writer than your beginner self.

What you're looking at

This table reveals hidden patterns in how personality types write. Scan vertically to see universals: all Feelers share pressure gaps (blue ↓), all Thinkers share warmth gaps (pink ↓). Scan your row for personalized insight: your Edge is what you bring naturally, your Gap is what to work on, and your Move is the intervention that helps most.

Why this matters: Traditional screenwriting advice is one-size-fits-all. But an INFJ struggling with structure needs different guidance than an INTP struggling with emotion. This table gives you the diagnostic—then the prescription.
