Is there any fictional character or in real life person that you can relate to? Have you ever seen or read about somebody and thought immediately 'Oh my God, that's me'?

Please share who and why.

Here is mine: Nancy from The Craft.

Supposedly we actually look similar and our mannerisms are almost identical. She even walks the same way that I do. Similar dress and makeup sense as well.

She is the extreme version of me.

She is direct, at times confrontational, introverted, definitely a judger and uses intuition as well. I haven't decided on whether or not shes a Thinker or Feeler, but I am leaning towards thinker as she is able to make a decision on what is best for the group as opposed to the individual. She is the alpha female of the group, she is sensual, she has her eyes set on a goal and will risk everything to get to where she needs to be. (In the end to her demise)

Here is a photo of me:

And a video outlining her mannerisms:

Dexter Morgan. Except the killing part. To be more specific:
- I've learned how to act, to fit in "their" world
- I've also learned to hide my true knowladge, intentions, and emotions (actually, that's natural for an INTJ)
- I allways feel akwark when others show emotions like anger, frustration, happyness, sadness, or worse when they cry
- I like to do everything by myself. My father understood that and told somebody that I'll gladly give an arm or a foot than asking for help
- I would secretly keep an apartment or a house, just in case

Tank Girl...a little. Only my hair is red and I don't shave it any more.

She is a smartarse with bizarre dress sense and doesn't stand too much power plays with the boys.

She is a little more extreme than me obviously.

I can't think of anyone I've ever seen in a movie or otherwise that has my personality type. The quiet introverted loners protrayed in movies are always off the mark, and either they're suicidal or have some supreme dark side to them. Since my type has zero social allure, am an average law abiding citizen, and of average intelligence, you will never find my type interesting enough to be put on screen.

I used to be Gregory House M.D. But I've gotten A LOT better. Now I'm more like Adam from Mythbusters. Just more introverted.

I think I am a bit like Light, but also a bit like L from Death Note. You could say a mix of them both.

I've always related to the character of Elizabeth Bennet. I admire her courage and wit. Friends who know me well say that the portrayal of the character in the BBC version is most like me. I could have served as a character study for the actress's appearance and demeanor. Even her singing voice is similar.

You and me both. xD If L were a real person, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like if we were friends.

Hmm...

Drow (D&D race, Faerun/Eberron) - too much to say about them. Please look up the info if you're curious.
Xena (From... hmm... series with the same name? :laughing

Ellen Ripley (Alien)

There is one thing I have different from the "typical INTJ" and that is the fact that I'm not afraid of doing physical work or put myself in physical risks. I'm a 3rd dan of Ninjutsu and I intend to keep on going. And yes, I've actually got into brawls but that was when I was a high schooler and in that school, if you didn't carry a baseball bat you were the odd one out. xD

As such, yes, I identify with these characters in the respect that they can "kick ass" if they want and other aspects of course, like mentality, personality, etc.

Wesley (the Dread Pirate Roberts) from The Princess Bride

Possibly because I grew up watching it so much that I tried to mold my character after him, but all the same, thats me. Still, only around people who know me well, or in the rare situation of meeting people when I feel comfortable in my current situation.

Resembled Robert Sean Leonard as Neil Perry in Dead Poet's Society.

But actually had the demeanor of "Todd Anderson".

Other than that, I've been told that I look like I could be Julia Robert's brother...I think it's just the smile when it comes out.

Kvothe Kingkiller from The Name of the Wind (a new-ish fantasy novel by Patrick Rothfuss that is ridiculously awesome). We share a lot of similarities, and I'm fairly sure he's an INTJ. He's brilliant at everything he does-- I wouldn't go so far as to say that I am brilliant like that, but I do tend to pick up new skills and knowledge with relative ease. He is extremely analytical about everything, and his passionate emotions (yes, I have them) are extremely introverted. His character screams Te-Fi to me. He's a plotter; he makes all kinds of plans for everything. All things considered, Kvothe is a lot like a highly exaggerated version of myself.

Also Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice-- socially aloof, initially cold, but with very intense emotions if you can crack the shell.

Andrew Largeman from 'Garden State'. I'm evolving socially tough...But when i'm alone, that's pretty much how I act. (I think...my real self if you will)

Socially, I like to think of myself as Ian Malcolm (kinda). I got the 'I don't care attitude' and like to make joke that not a lot of people get/like. I don't care if i'm misunderstood.

I can't really think of a good one but I feel I related very much to the main chick from Freaks and Geeks. Lindsay I think was her name. Having said that, I've always felt more feminine than masculine so now the secrets out. Does that make me a lesbian? lol
