Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Socially-conscious: Frequently defends minorities and rights, e.g. LGBT visibility and pride, organizing the first LGBT march in Castelo Branco, and supporting abortion rights and migrants’ dignity.
- Politically-engaged: Comments actively on Portuguese and international politics, from criticism of PSD and CH to positions on Palestine, Bolivia, and police behavior, showing sustained civic involvement.
- Supportive-teacher: Shows dedication to students, mentioning long hours preparing ~300 slides for an Economics A exam and asking followers how their exam went to better understand their difficulties.
- Reflective-academic: Connects personal academic path (studying for Economics A, later teaching it, postgraduate studies) with broader reflections like “what is the Economy if not people,” indicating theoretical and humanistic concern.
- Empathetic-ally: Expresses emotional solidarity with others’ pain (e.g., recognizing Isabel’s grief over Palestine, discussing childhood homophobia’s long-term effects, praising small acts of kindness on the metro).
Weaknesses:
- Harsh-language: Uses insults and profanity toward opponents (“burros”, “filhos da puta”, calling institutions a ‘den of Nazis’), which can undermine the strength and reach of his arguments.
- Confrontational-tone: Frequently frames disagreement in combative terms, e.g. saying CH and IL voters deserve his “desprezo” and expressing desire to “apertar” extremists, which may close dialogue with those not already aligned.
- Polarized-view: Tends to group entire parties and institutions together as irredeemable (e.g. equating CH and IL as “quase a mesma merda”, calling for ending the Ministério Público and “extinguir” the PSP), leaving little nuance.
- Emotional-reactivity: Tweets show intense immediate reactions (“Nah, eu não acredito no que estou a ver”, “VAMOS GANHAR ESTA MERDA CRL”, “In a bad place rn”), which can make his feed feel volatile and less measured.
- Burnout-risk: Describes working on hundreds of slides, sleeping ~5 hours, and managing a ‘caótica’ week with heavy teaching prep and political engagement, suggesting a tendency to overextend himself.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
This user most closely matches Lisa Simpson: highly political, clearly left-wing, intellectually engaged with economics and public policy, and strongly motivated by social justice. Like Lisa, they are academically driven and reflective about their educational path, as seen when they talk about their journey from student to teacher in economics, and in threads supporting students and exams. Their tweets show a consistent defense of minorities and human rights, for example when they call out homophobia and celebrate LGBT visibility, such as organizing for Castelo Branco’s first LGBT march and urging people to "go to Google Maps" to counter homophobia. They are also fiercely critical of right-wing and far-right politics and neoliberal hypocrisy, echoing Lisa’s moral outrage, as when they describe a far-right party as "populist, anti-democratic, classist" and denounce economic injustice and xenophobia. Overall, the mix of earnest idealism, left-leaning critique, and concern with how economics affects real people strongly aligns them with Lisa’s personality and values.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENFJ
They read as an Extravert (E): they constantly engage others, organize and attend collective events, and openly seek interaction, e.g. rallying people for political action and local pride marches like “Castelo Branco vai ter este ano PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ a sua marcha LGBT, a 14 de Setembro. Malta de Castelo Branco, vamos organizar nos!” and sharing their own excitement and questions with followers such as “Alunos de Economia A, como é que correu esse exame? Acham fácil ou difícil? Saiu aquilo que esperavam? Contem me tudo sff”. Their focus on systems, ideology, and big-picture social questions points to Intuition (N): they talk about imperialism, class, democracy, and the role of the economy in human wellbeing, as in “E o que é a Economia se não as pessoas? E o que é a Economia se não os seus problemas? E o que é a Economia se não a sua felicidade?” and critiques of "imperialismo americano" in Bolivia like “As garras do imperialismo americano não devem ser inocentes naquilo que de passou na Bolívia. A seu tempo saberemos.”. They clearly prioritize values and empathy over detached logic, indicating Feeling (F): they react strongly to injustice and suffering, for example in “A dor da @Isabel_ml_ é a nossa dor. O reconhecimento da Palestina como estado independente e soberano é o mínimo dos mínimos…” and their emotional defense of migrants and LGBTQ+ people such as “Está a acontecer de forma rápida e profunda a normalização da xenofobia neste país e sente se” and “O direito ao aborto é uma questão de classe. Ninguém deixa de abortar por estar proibido. As consequências é que são diferentes para quem é pobre e para quem é rico”. Their life appears structured and goal-oriented, reflecting Judging (J): they plan study and work intensively, like “Que semana caótica. Tenho um aluno que vai ter exame de Economia A e sabe muito pouco. Nos últimos 8 dias fiz 6 PowerPoints com um total de cerca de 300 slides…”, and they actively organize political participation and voting logistics, as in “Bom dia para votar No caminho para a mesa, respeitem a sinalização” and “Então vamos lá trabalhar. Tudo a votar”. Altogether, the combination of energetic public engagement, abstract political and economic framing, value-driven advocacy, and structured, organizing behavior fits ENFJ best: a socially involved, idealistic organizer focused on mobilizing others around ethical and political causes.
Some pickup lines for you
- You said ‘ninguém come PIB’, but if we grab a coffee I promise we can at least maximize our joint utility function — you bring the Marx, I’ll bring the marginal analysis.
- You’re staying in Lisbon just to go to Pride and you organized Castelo Branco’s first LGBT march; can I be your +1 in the struggle against fascists by day and your very committed fieldwork in happiness economics by night?
- You know that Google Photos memory of you studying for Economia A by the pool and now tutoring the same exam? I’d love to be the next time‑stamp: seven years from now, it pops up as ‘first summer André brought his boyfriend to the pool.’
- You yelling at the TV during the game, tweeting ‘VAMOS GANHAR ESTA MERDA CRL’ and crushing on Francisco Conceição… I may not score like him, but I can definitely keep you celebrating all night — with far fewer offsides.
- You called the normalization of xenophobia, homophobia and fascism ‘admirável mundo novo’; I’m just here to offer you a tiny counter‑reforma: one lefty economist, one hopeless romantic, one drink, and zero tolerance for Nazis — only room for us on this general strike of loneliness.

Your signature cocktail
The Left Bank Economist
This cocktail starts with Portuguese gin infused with pink peppercorns for a sharp, unapologetic political kick, echoing his fiery critiques of the right and far right, like calling CH and IL “quase a mesma merda” in “Só relembrar os meus amigos que para mim ser do CH ou da IL é quase a mesma merda, e merece da minha parte praticamente o mesmo desprezo.”. Ruby Port adds a deep, left-leaning sweetness that nods to both Portugal and his socialist convictions, as in “O povo é quem mais ordena” and his call for unity of the left in “Tem mesmo de haver uma união das esquerdas para a CML.”. Fresh lemon juice brings acidity and brightness, mirroring his sharp fact-checking instincts when he says “Um jornal de Fact check a mentir. Surreal” and his incredulous “Nah, eu não acredito no que estou a ver”. Rosemary-honey syrup represents his care for people and teaching vocation, sweet but grounded, like when he reflects on students and work in “Que semana caótica. Tenho um aluno que vai ter exame de Economia A e sabe muito pouco.” and on the human side of Economics in “E o que é a Economia se não as pessoas? … a qualidade de vida do povo?”. Finally, a dash of chili bitters captures his rage against injustice and rising hatred—LGBTQ+phobia, xenophobia, fascism—as in “Admirável mundo novo, da normalização do ódio e do regresso aos tempos sombrios da opressão” and the visceral “Já se regozijam publicamente de bater em mulheres. Foda se. Que nojo absoluto de gente.”. Strong, slightly bitter, warmly sweet, and unapologetically political, The Left Bank Economist is meant to be sipped while shouting “VAMOS GANHAR ESTA MERDA CRL” at the TV during a match or a parliamentary debate.
Your Hogwarts House
Gryffindor
André shows strong Gryffindor traits through his confrontational defense of vulnerable groups and willingness to speak out against perceived injustice, even in harsh terms. He repeatedly calls out fascism and police abuse, e.g. when he says “Extinguir este antro de Nazis para ontem (sim, estou a falar da PSP)” and criticizes police greeting Nazis, asking “Não podemos deixar esquecer isto.”. His moral courage appears again in tweets like “O direito ao aborto é uma questão de classe.” and his insistence on recognizing Palestine: “O reconhecimento da Palestina como estado independente e soberano é o mínimo dos mínimos.”. He is outspoken and sometimes hot‑headed, for instance when reacting to misogynistic violence with “Começo a achar que isto já só vai com violência.” and calling extremists “filhos da puta.” This passionate, confrontational bravery is combined with a willingness to publicly take sides—against imperialism, xenophobia, homophobia, and ultra‑conservatism—which aligns more with Gryffindor’s bold activism than the quieter loyalty of Hufflepuff or the strategic self‑focus of Slytherin. Though he clearly values learning and economics, as in “E o que é a Economia se não as pessoas?”, his defining trait is courageous, values‑driven outspokenness, making Gryffindor the best fit.
Your movie
Your song
Imagine - John Lennon
A well‑known song that suits André Pires is “Imagine” by John Lennon, because his timeline is driven by a strong desire for a more just, humane and equal world. He repeatedly centers people and dignity in politics and economics, asking, “E o que é a Economia se não a saúde do povo, a educação do povo, a qualidade de vida do povo?” and defending positions like, “O direito ao aborto é uma questão de classe.”. He is openly anti-fascist and deeply critical of the normalization of hatred and xenophobia, writing about “a normalização da xenofobia neste país” and calling for accountability when “os polícias que cumprimentaram os nazis” go unpunished. He also shows solidarity with oppressed peoples, as in his support for Palestine: “O reconhecimento da Palestina como estado independente e soberano é o mínimo dos mínimos.”. Like Imagine, his tweets blend political critique, empathy for marginalized groups (LGBTQ+ marches, migrants, the poor) and a clear longing for a world where human rights, peace and equality are the baseline, not the exception.
