Phineas and Ferb: Candace Flynn [ESFJ]

Before I start I'd like to point out that Candace is a bit of a caricature. No offence to the ESFJs out there.


Extroverted Feeling (Fe): In keeping with her status as a parody of a teenage girl, Candace's mood swings are swift and drastic. The slightest provocation will lead to yelling, screaming and crying. She is ridiculously sensitive to others opinions, going from egotistical to self loathing just based on their off hand comments. Her own opinions are proclaimed to the world at loud volume... unless those opinions would shut her out of the "it" crowd, at which point she changes them to fit her peer's sentiments. She is extremely sensitive to trends. "Mom can I get a pink streak in my hair?.. To express my individuality! Everybody's doing it."      



Introverted Sensing (Si): Candace's Si is mostly absent since she spends most of the show in an Fe/Ne loop. She hardly ever consults it. If she did she would realize that her spazzy behavior gets the same results every time. She still keeps all her childhood toys, and even though her Fe realizes that unicorns and teddy bears are "uncool" for her age, she keeps them anyway. She also refuses to give up her "Ducky Moh-moh" obsession, even going to a convention...under a mask of course. She refuses to open her mind to how cool and interesting Phineas and Ferb's inventions are, sticking to her original antagonism.  


Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Candace is usually Ne in the worst ways. Her attention span is about five seconds. She is constantly Fe/Ne looping, building up ridiculous anxieties out of small details. She latches onto a possibility and then leaps into action, never using Si to ask herself "How did this turn out last time?" Her fantasies are grandly negative or positive and completely unrealistic.
  

Introverted Thinking (Ti): Candace's logical deductions are few and far between, but when she does use logic it is completely subjective and often flawed when applied to reality. She convinces herself that some "mysterious force" takes away Phineas and Ferb's projects before their mom sees them because she sees no other logical explanation, thus the only remaining possibility must be true.
