Harrison Ford has undoubtedly been one of the most popular action movie stars in part thanks to his role as one of Star Wars franchise's greatest characters Han Solo. Nevertheless, he has had many other roles that established him as an experienced actor.
From the iconic Blade Runner duology to the no less admired Indiana Jones trilogy, Harrison Ford has definitely had outstanding roles in movies that are still being watched today. Here are Harrison Ford Characters And Who Are You Based On MBTI®.
ESFP (Entertainer): Bob Falfa (American Graffiti)
Before he created Star Wars, George Lucas was known for THX 1138 and American Graffiti. The latter film is a coming-of-age story about a group of teenagers in 1962 in Modesto, California. All of the events occur within the span of one night which makes the film even more special.
Ford's character Bob Falfa is an ESFP. He does not have a huge role, but it is easy to understand what kind of person he is just from the few scenes Ford is in. Bob is a spontaneous, energetic person who is quite arrogant and even has problems with the law. Some of these traits would even be transferred to Ford's future characters later on.
ISTP (Virtuoso): Rick Deckard (Blade Runner)
Blade Runner is another example of Harrison Ford's iconic roles. In this noir science-fiction film set in a dystopian 2019, Ford plays Rick Deckard, an exhausted cop who has to hunt down a group of the so-called replicants, or synthetic humans, that had gone rogue.
Deckard is an ISTP. He is a master of all kinds of tools who is ready to experiment. Nevertheless, he is quite practical most of the time. It's an interesting coincidence that Harrison Ford is also an ISTP, so he fits the role perfectly.
ISFP (Adventurer): Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones)
The Indiana Jones franchise has had its highs and lows (though definitely more highs than lows). It is by far one of the most well-known action-adventure franchises of all time with its title character being recognized by nearly anyone thanks to his portrayal by Harrison Ford.
Indiana is an Adventurer. He is charming and able to adapt to any kind of situation. He loves exploring and trying something new even though his main job is being a professor at a university.
ENFP (Campaigner): John Book (Witness)
1985's Witness is a neo-noir thriller about Detective John Book (played by Harrison Ford) who has to protect a young Amish boy who has witnessed a murder and is now being hunted down by the criminals because of it.
John has a Campaigner personality type. He is an enthusiastic and sociable person. He sees corruption, but can't do much about it. Yet, he does everything he can to always do what's right and even tries to blend into the Amish society and be accepted by these people.
ENFJ (Protagonist): President James Marshall (Air Force One)
Air Force One is a political thriller about a group of terrorists who hijack Air Force One. President James Marshall (played by Harrison Ford) tries to rescue everyone on board including himself and his family (and, of course, he succeeds).
James has a Protagonist personality type. He is an inspiring leader of a great nation who also happens to be capable of fighting terrorists. In addition to that, he is also loved by the people in his country and is generally the ideal character to be called an ENFJ.
ESTP (Entrepreneur): Han Solo (Star Wars)
Everybody knows Star Wars, so there is probably no need to explain what it is about. This science-fiction fantasy soap opera has collected millions of fans, and Han Solo just so happens to be in the ranks of the most beloved characters from the franchise.
Han is an ESTP or an Entrepreneur. He is an energetic person who loves living on the edge and doesn't regret anything he's done. Han has a huge ego, but he goes through a lot of change throughout the series while remaining that same character who loves risk.
ESTJ (Executive): Jack Trainer (Working Girl)
Working Girl is a romantic comedy with a bit of drama mixed in. It tells the story of a secretary played by Melanie Griffith whose idea is stolen by her boss. To steal it back, she takes the opportunity by pretending that she has her boss's job.
Jack is an ESTJ. Executives are administrators who know how to manage people, and Jack Turner is just that way. He is a businessman that takes his job very seriously and makes his rivals scared. It's an unusual role for Harrison Ford, but he nails it nonetheless.
INTJ (Architect): Richard Kimble (The Fugitive)
Based on a television series of the same name, The Fugitive is an action thriller about Dr. Richard Kimble (played by Harrison Ford) who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife (and subsequently sentenced to death). He escapes and tries to find his wife's killer to clear his name.
Richard has an Architect personality type. He has a plan: find the killer and right what is wrong. He is smart and looks for justice. Tommy Lee Jones' character chasing after him has an incredible relationship with Kimble which makes the movie even more interesting to watch.
ISTJ (Logistician): Jack Ryan (Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger)
Jack Ryan has been depicted by many actors, and Harrison Ford played him in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. The movies are based on Tom Clancy's novels of the same names about the CIA analyst Jack Ryan and his adventures.
Jack is a Logistician. He is a practical and reliable person who constantly gets pulled into bad situations while being reluctant to solve problems. He is intelligent and heroic but stays relatable to the regular viewers who are not used to being as badass as he is.
ENTJ (Commander): Henry Turner (Regarding Henry)
Regarding Henry might not have been as well-received as expected, but Harrison Ford's performance was praised nonetheless. Henry Turner (played by Ford, of course) is a lawyer who loses his memory and speech after surviving a shooting. He then tries to regain both of these and return to his past life.
Henry has an ENTJ personality type. It is important to mention that Ford plays both Henry before and after the incident. The old Henry is an arrogant workaholic, but the new one is a more modest and damaged man. Nevertheless, both of these have the Commander personality type.
