With this, I've officially finished the last of the introverts. Just three extroverts to go, and I'll have all 16. Stay tuned for Junior Asparagus, Astrid and Iroh. In the meantime, let's take a look at Ratatouille's Remy.

If I had to assign a personality type to France, it would be ISFP. And Remy embodies this. Passionate, expressive, individualistic, and frequently stereotyped by outsiders, Remy and France have a lot in common. Which is why I suppose it's fitting that he lives there.

Dominant Fi - Introverted Feeling
Fi is the function of individuality and moral identity. In Remy, this is expressed in being proud of who he is as a chef with an acute sense of smell, as well as his aversion to stealing food--especially when said food is of such low quality as is typically found in a dumpster. Remy is unique among rats, and rather than try and suppress his identity in order to fit in, he is unafraid to stand out. He doesn't mind being different. He doesn't like to pick fights, but he refuses to back down when a fundamental part of his identity is challenged.

Auxiliary Se - Extroverted Sensing
Remy has many gifts, one of the most prominent of which being his highly developed sense of smell. He is able to pick out individual ingredients in a culinary masterpiece. His Se gives him a love of the finer pleasures of life, particularly food. He greatly admires humans for their ability to create works of art with food, and strives to achieve the highest level of culinary artistry that he can. Remy sees a beauty in the world that goes unnoticed by his cynical father and easily distracted brother. And he wants to share it with them.

Tertiary Ni - Introverted iNtuition
As Ni is focused on the future, in the tertiary position it may result in the user not always thinking things through in the heat of a creative moment. But as it develops, Ni balances out Se and works with Fi to make the ISFP a tenacious go-getter. Ni also provides an instinct, allowing the ISFP to simply "know" what combinations of colors or flavors will work best in a piece. Remy, being a rat, relies heavily on his instinct to survive. But in the kitchen, he uses it to improve on the best and the worst of Gusteau's recipes. He is even able to turn a disaster into the biggest hit the restaurant has had since its founder died, simply by operating on Se and Ni.

Inferior Te - Extroverted Thinking
Rational does not describe Remy. He demonstrates an inferior Te in his tendency to put his artistic expression above his safety, resulting in compromising the safety of his family and the reputation of his friends. It may be some time before Remy develops the logic necessary to balance out his individualism. But that's not to say he is incapable of seeing logic. He sees it; he just doesn't have much use for the cynic's brand of it, much to Django's chagrin. Remy's logic is subject to his expressiveness. What makes the most sense to him depends on how useful it is to his identity as an artist.
