Of all the personality types, free-spirited Campaigners (ENFP) (25%) proved to be the least likely to follow strict routines. Many Diplomats would rather focus on the journey as opposed to the destination. Diplomats may be more willing to stray from routine in order to address the immediate needs of a group or project, to accommodate others’ schedules or ideas, or simply to go where their emotions take them. Diplomats’ Intuitive–Feeling combination of personality traits may explain their slightly lower agreement compared to Analysts. Again, this Role was divided by the Tactics aspect. Intuitive Diplomats tend to be somewhat averse to routine for the same reason. In general, as Intuitive personalities, Analysts do need more space in their lives for creativity and exploration and thus, as a group, lean slightly toward a dislike of routine. Architects (INTJ) (69%), as Judging types who like to have a plan and a strategy for everything, also tend to like to stick to routines, whereas Debaters (ENTP) (27%) are Prospecting types who need freedom to test their ideas and hate being bogged down by the daily grind. You might be surprised to see that Analysts agreed at the second-highest rate – after all, aren’t Analysts the personalities who are always rejecting rules and restrictions? In fact, Analysts were quite divided in their responses, mainly by the Tactics aspect. Still, while Hermione may be a stickler for routine, even she recognizes the importance of occasionally throwing the schedule out the window and throwing on Harry’s invisibility cloak to chase a mystery or solve a problem. Putting forth anything less than her best is unacceptable to her and following a routine helps her stay at the top of her game. Academically motivated and highly organized, Hermione runs a pretty tight ship at Hogwarts, drawing up strict study schedules not just for herself but for Harry and Ron too. These self-sufficient personalities often prefer to do things on their own, so being in charge of their own routine is a great way to satisfy their need for autonomy as well as make sure that they’re meeting all their obligations and achieving their goals.Īs an example, consider Hermione Granger, the Logistician member of the trio of best friends in the Harry Potter series. Patient and responsible, Logisticians thrive in structured environments where they can keep things running smoothly. Logisticians (ISTJ) (81%) were the most likely of all personality types to agree with our statement. Meticulous in their methods, Sentinels stay on track by maintaining a consistent routine, an effective approach but one that can sometimes make them vulnerable to inflexibility. Sentinels also share the Observant trait, which means that they’re practical and they tend to form strong habits. Overall, Judging personalities (67%) were 34% more likely than their Prospecting counterparts (33%) to agree. The phrase “creatures of habit” might remind you of Sentinels right away, and indeed, Sentinels generally do like routine – a function of their core Judging trait, which is all about planning ahead, staying organized, and creating structure and stability. Let’s take a closer look at this idea below. While the Tactics aspect was the key to this survey (with Judging types being the most likely to agree), every personality aspect except Nature played an important role, indicating that there are other reasons, beyond a general preference for planning and structure, why certain personality types like having a routine. But looking at individual personality types, there were few neutral results – most types had stronger opinions about the concept of sticking to a routine, as shown in the chart below. To what extent does personality type influence our feelings about routine? We asked our readers whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement, “You like having a routine you do not deviate from.” The overall agreement was neutral: 50% of readers agreed on average. While creatures of habit like schedules, patterns, and processes, others prefer to depart from consistency and improvise at points in their day. For others, routine is the enemy of freedom, creativity, and spontaneity. Sticking to a regular routine can help ensure that all the responsibilities of the day get taken care of in a timely, efficient manner.
