The title says it all.

Oh, man, did I love this movie! I'll do my best to type them:

"Starlord" Peter Quill - Not a lot of focus on his personality throughout the movie, but I'd guess ENTP.
Rocket Raccoon - ESTJ
Groot - IxFP
Drax the Destroyer - ISTJ
Gamora - ISxJ
Ronan - Stereotypical evil space guy archetype.
Thanos - xNTJ
Yondu (the blue guy with the arrow) - ESTP

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy again and got even more confused about some characters, and changed my mind about others.
Peter Quill- I can't decide his type. I know that he has Fi because he hardly ever talks about his feelings. I can see both Se and Si in him, which is why I am confused about his type.

Gamora- She's most likely an ISFP, but I can also see a little bit of Si-Fe.

Rocket- Definitely an ENTJ.

Groot- Since he doesn't really talk, it is super hard to type him, but he seems to be an Fe user.

Drax- He is also really hard to type, but I think that he is an ISFJ. I'm not sure about that though, beause he could also be an Se-Ni user.

Ronan- ISTJ. No question about it.

Nebula- Still no clue, because I can see both Te and Fe. She's definitely Se, though.

Could someone give me their opinion and explanation of their opinion?

Peter Quill/Starlord - ENTP
Gamora - ISFJ? Hers is the hardest for me to pin down.
Rocky - ISTP-- no question about it.
Groot - INFJ?
Drax - ISTJ
Nebula - ENTJ
Ronan - ESTJ
Yondu - ESFP

Quill- ESFP
Gamora- I'm just going to risk it all by saying……..INT-you know what, forget it. I don't know.
Drax- Hm. Hmhmhm. INTJ.
Groot- INFJ or INFP.
Rocket- ESTP.

I'll go out on a limb and say that I felt Rocket was pretty close to an INFJ, actually.
The way he responded to situations was very similar to the way I would on a bad day. He didn't want to let his emotions show, but was obviously emotionally affected by what was happening and cared about Peter/Gamora/Drax a lot more than he wanted to and didn't want to show it. And when he did have to show it - particularly in the scene where they were agreeing to make the plan with Yondu - he tried to brush it off. The only one he's okay with outwardly showing affection for is Groot, because they've known each other for so long and they've already established their relationship. It seems very much in line with how INFJs are wary and hyper-critical of strangers, but their Fe forces them to care about them (especially as they become more familiar), which is frustrating when they don't like the person.
As proven when he was drunk, he carries the weight of being the last of his species and a science experiment very heavily and he thinks about "big picture" things like the meaning of his life. He's also very much internally affected by criticism and insults even though he plays it cool. I definitely think his quick thinking is Ni working at its best as well; he's excellent at analyzing his environment and using that to make plans and decisions.

Any way you type him, I found him to be a surprisingly deep, cerebral character; in contrast, he's quite flat in the comics, or at least not nearly as nuanced.

I also typed Peter Quill as an ESFP, Gamora as an INTJ, and Drax as an ESTJ.

Ooooo! That's a really interesting way of looking at Rocket's character. The crazy thing is...I can totally see it! I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready to type him as INFJ but it seems plausible. Definitely more so than ESTJ which he most certainly is not! If someone lists good solid reasons for typing him as such I'd like to see them. Otherwise...INFJ is a fascinating take on his character. Thank you for sharing!

I personally think Gamora is ISFP as I see a lot of Fi in her as well as Se.

Quill I thought maybe was ESTP but at the same time someone pointed out that he seems to have Fi. If he did he would be ESFP or even ENFP. Not sure how I feel about those but it's an interesting thought.

Drax: ISxJ. Leaning more toward F with him. :)

I saw this movie for the second time last night and I can't help trying to type the main characters:

Quill - ENFP because he seems to do more Ne than Se but it's pretty close, also his drive to unite the team and exercise diplomacy seem to fit the NF mold

Gamora - ISTJ I can't see anything else but this. She seems to take things literally making her more S than N and if she is a feeler she hides it pretty well

Drax - ESTJ He can't be an N because he doesn't understand metaphors and his Te is pretty prevalent

Rocket - INTJ. I also like the commentary here on him being an INFJ. That fits well too. The first time I saw the movie I thought ENTP but after a second viewing he seems more I than E. He can't be a P because he's constantly displaying either strong Te or Fe.

Groot - This one is hard but I think either ISFP or INFP are the best options. He's an I and and F for sure!

I'm starting to like the idea of Peter being ESFP. In fact, I'm willing to bet that all the guardians are feelers. Even Rocket...though he'd be the least likely of them. But I still like the "INFJ" theory pointedperception pointed out. Honestly Rocket's a big mystery to me...I haven't truly decided what type I am comfortable with for him.

I think most of them are Sensing types as well...again aside from Rocket and Groot who could be either/or depending on how you look at them.

Gamora is almost certainly ISFP, Drax is likely an ISFJ (a very angry one!), and Groot...well...it's pretty obvious that he's a feeler of some kind. S/N is up for debate.

Rocket's clearly ISTP. A cereberal thinker, but certainly not Te, and his plans are rooted in reality (Se). He uses tertiary Ni to craft his schemes, but doesn't spent much time in an inner world like dominant Ni users do. His weakness is personable Fe, as he doesn't care that he took a guys prosthetic just for fun, but inferior Fe also shows when Groot's death made him cry.

Here is someone who have typed from the comics. MBTI: Guardians of the Galaxy | Zombies Ruin Everything

So from COMICS:
Star-Lord- ENTP
Gamora- ISTP
Rocket Raccoon- ESTP
Drax the Destroyer- ISTP
Groot- ISFJ

In movie, I agree with these
Star-Lord- ESTP
Gamora-perhaps intj from @Jenko
Rocket Raccoon- ENTP. I was thinking ESTJ first.
Drax the Destroyer- ISTJ
Groot- ISFJ-INFJ. I think Groot is a good example of Fe delivered knowledge.

Peter - ESFP
Rocket - ExTP I'm leaning towards S
Drax - ISTP
Ronan - xSTJ
Nebula - INTJ
Groot - xFxx? Tree??
Gamora - driving me nuts, I can't decide. Main character trait - Introversion.
Yondu - ESTP

I've rewatched the thing and changed my mind on Peter completely. :shocked:

He uses Fe and Si.

Fe because he spends movie basically talking people in our out of things, diffusing emotional situations and such.
Si because... Well, I mean that amount of nostalgic pop culture reference for basically everything that happens has to come from Si.

So he has to be ESFJ with good Ne or ENTP with good Fe. I'm always very careful to label characters that I like with my type but that scene with the alien chick in the beginning didn't look too Fe dom.

Reasons why he looks Se: he is the main character in action movie.

Gamora - still can't decide. Ixxx
Raccoon - have no strong stance on this. ESTP (for now). Don't think he is Fi, thought.
Drax - still think ISTP. I don't think Si is necessary for vengeance. The dude enjoys just smashing things so much.
Groot - ISFP. Maybe. Hard to say when he doesn't talk.
Nebula - INTJ.
Ronan - ISTJ.
Yondu - ESTP.

Sorry but Peter Quill is me in male form. Watched it with a big group of people all laughing saying so.
ENFP... The inspirers! Champion whatever. He got a group of losers to be their best and save the galaxy! And he thinks outside the box (dancing at the end..haha) and cares hugely about how he is viewed by others....come on man, STARLORD?! Haha

I just watched the movie and I totally agree with @brightwater
Peter is obviously an ENFP. First scene - he gets into fights with other kids because they killed a frog. I think most ENTPs who get angry about such scenarios would rather get into verbal fights than into physicals.
He is quick to accept and trust other people, even criminals, he tries to see the good in them and bring it out. That's more a Fi than a Ti thing. Can anybody tell me a specific scene where he showed Ti?

If someone from GotG is an ENTP it's mostly rocket. I see why most of you guys label him an ESTP, but he is always about ideas and a plan to get these initiated. That's more Ne-ish I'd say. And don't get "he's got quick reflexes and is a good gunner/pilot" mixed up with Se. He is physically enhanced. Plus he is not eager to jump right into action, if he doesn't know how. ESTPs are more adapting to the instant situation than ENTPs are. He doesn't mind improvising, but he doesn't call for it.

Drax is a clear ISTJ for me. A very clichéd one I think (family-blabla, his idea of friends, his direct thinking and speaking).

Gamora is probably an ISTP, but I can't really back it up. A rather pale character in comparison.

And Groot is fairly difficult to type as well. ISFJ would be my guess, as ISFJs are often seen as "The Protectors" which he surely is.
