diHAPPY WEEKEND! HAVE A MEME. :D
One of the personality tests taken widely today is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. According to Wikipedia:
When you figure out each one of the 'letters' appropriate for a person, you then put them together to get a type! For example, I'm introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging, therefore I'm INTJ.
The meme is simple: Tag in with your characters and share their MBTI type! You can either go with the principle of the four dichotomies above, or you can take a typology test from the perspective of your character if you're unsure.
Add even more fun by looking up descriptions of their type and sharing with everyone the most hilariously accurate (or perhaps inaccurate) parts of the article. You can even search online for compatibility between two characters' types, both platonic and romantic.
Really, there are no strict guidelines — just have fun!
bonus: because lys and di like data, we'll be doing a type tally at the very end. :D
One of the personality tests taken widely today is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. According to Wikipedia:
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.Here's how it works on a basic level. There are four dichotomies in personalities that, when combined, result in sixteen different possible types. The four preferences are:
- Attitudes: extraversion/introversion
Does a person generally draw energy from action and interacting with people (extraversion) or from ideas and reflecting alone (introversion)? - Functions: sensing/intuition
Does a person tend to trust information that's in the present, detailed, and tangible (sensing), or information that's more theoretical, draws upon principle, and looks towards the future (intuition)? - Functions: thinking/feeling
Does a person make decisions based on a detached perspective grounded in logic (thinking), or by empathizing with the situation and looking at it from the inside (feeling)? - Lifestyle: judging/perception
Does a person prefer to live a life where matters are mostly settled (judging) or prefer a life which is flexible and have decisions be open (perception)?
