meme: personality test

HAPPY WEEKEND! HAVE A MEME. :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)?

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

INTJ

because of reasons

"The INTJ sees life as a problem to be solved. For that reason, the INTJ is the person a company brings in from the outside to streamline production processes and identify redundant assets for termination. The INTJ's combination of analyticial problem-solving skills and complete and utter disregard for the morality or consequences of his actions also make him ideal for the job of hatchet man, CIA operative, and helpdesk operator."

"TJ"s relate to others with a objective, decisive attitude that frequently shows an opinion on the topic of conversation. If the opinion is negative, the TJ's attitude may be threatening to the INFP, who will tend to respond emotionally to the negativity and be vaguely but emphatically convinced that the negativity is somehow the INFP's fault.

IT'S A GOOD THING SPOCK LIKES RUKIA.

Further INTJ/INFP stuff:

...the INFP’s Aspirational Te admires the INTJ’s Supportive Te, which naturally wants to “parent” the INFP. Meanwhile, the INTJ’s Eternal Child Fi seeks relief from stress by aligning with the values Heroically espoused by the INFP’s Fi. So long as those values are in accord, all is well.

INTJ

but

prefers to give the impression of an ENTP

"ENTPs are creative, complex people who seek to improve their understanding of the natural world, usually by building armored fifty-story-tall robotic monsters with iron jaws and death-ray eyes, or by creating genetically mutated plagues that spread unstoppably across the land, turning all who are contaminated into mindless zombie drones. They are less likely to want to conquer the world than to destroy it utterly, reducing it to nothing but slag and rubble--though this is often merely a side-effect of their pursuit of knowledge."

Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ENFP's natural partner is the INTJ.

.............................yeah okay.

ESTP

"This generally expresses itself as an overwhelming urge to prove your self worth (and fatten your wallet) by taking advantage of the suckers, marks, and dupes who surround you--after all, isn't that what they're there for? It's not your fault that their stupidity and gullibility lets them believe you when you say that Hershey's Kissesses exposed to your patented psychic amplifier rays will let them fly! As your hero and fellow ESTP, P. T. Barnum, once said, "it is morally wrong to let a sucker keep his money.""

While Kurt's certainly grown accustomed to high-maintenance friendships in the glee club, his tendency to draw back in times of stress and tough it out alone through reflection makes him an introvert. He tends to trust his gut a lot, with a definite tendency of looking towards the future rather than getting caught up in the day to day, making him intuitive. He's guided by compassion and always tries to be considerate to the situations of other people, making him feeling. And too much flexibility makes him break out into hives, thus he's judging. That lands him in INFJ.

Some of the stuff from Personality Page that I think suits him:

( INFJs hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who are able to see their special gifts and depth of caring. INFJs are concerned for people's feelings, and try to be gentle to avoid hurting anyone. They are very sensitive to conflict, and cannot tolerate it very well. Situations which are charged with conflict may drive the normally peaceful INFJ into a state of agitation or charged anger. They may tend to internalize conflict into their bodies, and experience health problems when under a lot of stress. )

Kurt's painstakingly attentive when it comes to the people he loves, and tends to be most receptive when people are able to recognize that in him. But he definitely avoids conflict whenever possible. Even in cases where he could have easily gotten his various nemesis in trouble (even rightfully), Kurt tends to shy back and instead nudge people towards becoming more moral and seeing the error of their ways (see: with Sebastian, Karofsky, etc.).
( On the other hand, INFJ is a perfectionist who doubts that they are living up to their full potential. INFJs are rarely at complete peace with themselves - there's always something else they should be doing to improve themselves and the world around them. )

Though he's quite a talented singer and not too bad of a dancer, Kurt still ends up nitpicking at himself when he's around people he really respects in the craft. He's competitive, but also more modest than anything; any airs he puts on are more often a shield than true belief.
( Possible career paths: Musicians and artists! )
( Sexually, INFJs view intimacy as a nearly spiritual experience. They embrace the opportunity to bond heart and soul with their mates. )

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmmm~~~
( As idealists who have strong value systems, INFJs seek authenticity and depth in their close relationships, and especially value people who can see and appreciate the INFJ for who they are and what they stand for. )

Haha, woot! I am an INFJ, in real life!

That's awesome! Many of my favorite people (and characters, it seems) in the world are INFJs. :D I like you guys, you're an awesome set.

INFP

This was what I pinned him as initially, through when I ran him through the test, he ended up as an ENFJ, with only the slimmest margins separating E/I and P/J. He's definitely a close split on the latter, but I see him pretty firmly as an introvert, just one who's perfectly capable of being outgoing when it suits him.

Also, You find it difficult to speak loudly, let's be real here.

ESFP

"The strongest element of the psychological makeup of an ESFP is his easygoing, impulsive approach to life. ESFPs often build their careers out of dating supermodels, being involved in scandals, and appearing regularly in such newspapers as "The National Enquirer" and "The Weekly World News.""

Edited 2013-08-31 05:46 (UTC)

ESTP

Not a perfect fit, but probably the best, I think.

P. sure this:

Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If the ESTP has decided that something needs to be done, then their "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precendence over the rules. However, the ESTP tends to have their own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to their principles. The Rules of the Establishment may hold little value to the ESTP, but their own integrity mandates that they will not under any circumstances do something which they feel to be wrong.

could have been taken verbatim from my app for the dude.

ESTPs have a strong flair for drama and style. They're fast-moving, fast-talking people who have an appreciation for the finer things in life.

Boosh.

While Rukia is extremely good at playing the extrovert and does have a high tolerance for time with her loved ones (and, let's be honest, she's not a fan of being alone for prolonged periods of time), she's reflective at heart, someone who dwells and lives naturally in her own mind, making her an introvert. She definitely rolls with instinct and principle in a world where the details change so swiftly, making her intuitive. And try as she might to be objective, Rukia always puts her considerations for other people first, empathizes without being asked, making her a feeling person. Finally, Rukia's never married to the rules and a regimented course of action; better to be able to change one's path quickly should situations change, making her perceiving. Therefore, she is INFP.

Some accurate tidbits:

INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things.
Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante.
INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause.

ISTJ - The Duty Fulfiller

Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.

Yeah, that's Cas, life of the party

Cas join Cass in the ISTJ group. XD

Although Chase often ends up a quiet observer in the workplace, his best work and energy comes through avid discussion with colleagues; he's attentive with patients, and quick to make most of parties, making him an extrovert. His job requires him to be a stickler for details, but his job is one that requires being able to go with one's gut and extrapolating where documented facts don't always exist, making him intuitive. He tries to match House's unfeeling bastard, but truth is he's got a buttload of feeling empathy. And finally, when you work smart but not hard, that means keeping your mind open in the perceptive way. Chase is ENFP.

Nice tidbits:

( ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. )

Can you say magical mary sue doctor? Diagnostics, surgery, pediatrics, hypnosis, I don't understand how he does all these things but he's the go-to person on the show for some unusual trade.
( ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. )

Early Chase, early Chase.
( ENFPs make warm, considerate, passionate partners who are generally willing, eager, and able to do whatever it takes to make The Relationship a positive place to be. They are enthusiastic, idealistic, focused on other people's feelings, and very flexible. )

Sadly, 'whatever it takes' is sometimes too much for the other person. N'aww, Chase. Someone will come along who loves your romantic nature.

S'up, fellow eneffper.

The following points felt the most fitting:

ISFPs are extremely perceptive and aware of others. They constantly gather specific information about people, and seek to discover what it means. They are usually penetratingly accurate in their perceptions of others.

The ISFP is likely to not give themself enough credit for the things which they do extremely well. Their strong value systems can lead them to be intensely perfectionist, and cause them to judge themselves with unneccesary harshness.

ISFPs are able to get along with most of the other personality types, although they tend to be reserved around those they don't know well. They will enjoy spending time with others who share their interests, and who understand and accept the ISFP for who they are. They greatly value their space and autonomy, and appreciate other's respect for that.

The ISFP is not likely to have much patience or tolerance for those who are strongly Judging. ISFPs celebrate their own uniqueness, as well as everybody else's, and don't appreciate being judged harshly for their differences.

Edited 2013-08-31 06:07 (UTC)

ISFPs are action-oriented individuals. They are "doers", and are usually uncomfortable with theorizing concepts and ideas, unless they see a practical application. They learn best in a "hands-on" environment, and consequently may become easily bored with the traditional teaching methods, which emphasize abstract thinking. They do not like impersonal analysis, and are uncomfortable with the idea of making decisions based strictly on logic. Their strong value systems demand that decisions are evaluated against their subjective beliefs, rather than against some objective rules or laws.

ISFPs have no desire to lead or control others, just as they have no desire to be led or controlled by others. They need space and time alone to evaluate the circumstances of their life against their value system, and are likely to respect other people's needs for the same.

LOL

"The Scientist"

...duh.

Korra's was a difficult one to place because she's been almost completely placed under circumstances that don't naturally flow with her type. She gains a lot out of interacting with others, never seeming to tire from their presence, making her a likely extrovert. She definitely doesn't get theory or spirituality, and instead focuses on her five senses, making her sensing. Logic? No no no, she's a feeling girl of emotion. And rules? What rules? Flexibility and perceiving all the way. So she's ESFP.

It gets interesting though, because she's been deliberately secluded in the south pole away from all other people her age for well over three quarters of her life, so her ability to get people is a little behind. Some things that still hold accurate to type, though:

ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions.
The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with them. In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain away the problem.
ESFPs usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most other types.

She might keep people at a distance now, but extroverted Faye still ends up gravitating towards the crowd, sometimes heavily enjoying just listening to them around her and drinking in the interactions — and, let's face it, being on the Bebop was preferable to the Redtail. She trusts her intuitions about human nature, sometimes to a fault, even when the details are stacked up in front of her. Logic and thinking are the only way to act without getting your heart broken or the short end of the stick. And though she's a free-spirited girl, a Romany (so she says), the truth is that Faye runs because she likes to be the one in control with her judging temperament. So, ENTJ.

And here are the highlights:

There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ. They dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with inefficiency.
ENTJs are very forceful, decisive individuals. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world.
Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, these individuals frequently have very strong sentimental streaks. Often these sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ, although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing the feelings to be a weakness.

It's like it KNOWS.

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance.

Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ~~ENFP's family members~~ Artie.

I hemmed and hawed over this one, mostly over the N/S, but decided to go with the personality type Nuriko naturally falls into as opposed to the one she works so, so hard to emulate. There's no doubt that Nuriko treasures people and just loves being surrounded by them with her extroverted personality. And although she's worked hard to intuit things around her, to be able to foresee what might happen in the future and see the principles of the world, most of it's still a blur to her, and it's so much easier to focus on the sensing details. Nuriko unabashedly follows her feeling heart, compassion being important to her. And nothing needs to be set in stone; better to be flexible for her perceiving mind. Thus, ESFP.

Interestingly, her strong points are different than Korra's, even though I typed them the same:

They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care.
They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it.
The ESFP has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun. They like to bring others along on their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted.

ESTP - The Doer

Friendly, adaptable, action-oriented. "Doers" who are focused on immediate results. Living in the here-and-now, they're risk-takers who live fast-paced lifestyles. Impatient with long explanations. Extremely loyal to their peers, but not usually respectful of laws and rules if they get in the way of getting things done. Great people skills.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

ISTJ- The Duty Fulfiller

Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.

Yes, this is exactly like Cass "I am not going to get shot by my father, so I am going to become inhumanly fast so he does not hit me with bullets"
I also like the fact its one away from Babs

"They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care."

Ha ha, yes, because often Kate's version of advice is 'you're a fucking idiot, get over it'. >.>

"They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crossed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation."

YEP.

"They like to "go with the flow", trusting in their ability to improvise in any situation presented to them. They learn best with "hands-on" experience, rather than by studying a book. They're uncomfortable with theory. If an ESFP hasn't developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations which involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP may have difficulty in school."

It doesn't all fit her (the description keeps referring to being a great team player, which isn't exactly something she's good at) but it fits her better than other other.

"They live in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other type, they have excellent people skills. They understand and care about people, and have a special talent for bringing out the best in others. ENFJ's main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. They are focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. They make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this."

"This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people. ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others."

"ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. Living in the world of people possibilities, they enjoy their plans more than their achievements. They get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present."

This strikes me especially in canon, when Rick wants to plan things that are 'for the best' and Andrea can't really see how it is, but DOES IT ANYWAY, BECAUSE RICK SAYS SO AND SHE WANTS TO MAKE STUPID RICK HAPPY.

"ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship."

:3333

Just a few points - this is so Maggie:

ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ.

ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.

More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.

The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted.

The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

ENFJs tend to define their life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It's natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.

People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people. They are typically very straight-forward and honest. Usually ENFJs exude a lot of self-confidence, and have a great amount of ability to do many different things. They are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. They are usually good at anything which captures their interest.

ENFJs do not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. They don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where they're forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. Living in the world of people possibilities, they enjoy their plans more than their achievements. They get excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.

ENFJs have a strong need for close, intimate relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining these relationships. They're very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship.

As giving and caring as the ENFJ is, they need to remember to value their own needs as well as the needs of others.

"The Guardian'>

AHAHAHAHAHA. I mean. Ahem.

"Good citizens" who value security and peaceful living.

Sure. Of course. Absolutely. >_>

They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs. They expect the same of others, and have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not value these systems. They value competence and efficiency, and like to see quick results for their efforts.

But this is Molokov absolutely, particularly with the no patience or understanding of people who don't share his values.

The Giver

Popular and sensitive, with outstanding people skills. Externally focused, with real concern for how others think and feel. Usually dislike being alone. They see everything from the human angle, and dislike impersonal analysis. Very effective at managing people issues, and leading group discussions. Interested in serving others, and probably place the needs of others over their own needs.

BINGO.

"They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation."

"This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks."

"The least developed area for the ENTP is the Sensing-Feeling arena. If the Sensing areas are neglected, the ENTP may tend to not take care of details in their life. If the Feeling part of themself is neglected, the ENTP may not value other people's input enough, or may become overly harsh and aggressive."

An interesting tidbit from a page that seems so accurate for these two, about arguments between their types:

A typical ENTJ - ENTP conflict will revolve around statements like "you're just too stubborn" (to the ENTJ), or "you don't know how the real world works" (to the ENTP).

WHY CAN I HEAR THAT SO WELL?

LMAOOOO. Yeah, that's kind of perfect.

WAO fist-bump for a fictionak female example of an ENTP. It's my own MBTI and the only examples I ever find are male.

I had such a hard time settling for her, but this one definitely feels right. XD

Hahaha, god. This woman.

"Enthusiastic and excitable, ESTPs are "doers" who live in the world of action. Blunt, straight-forward risk-takers, they are willing to plunge right into things and get their hands dirty. They live in the here-and-now, and place little importance on introspection or theory. The look at the facts of a situation, quickly decide what should be done, execute the action, and move on to the next thing."

And sometimes, doing exactly this leads to starting an entire slave rebellion.

"They're typically a couple of steps ahead of the person they're interacting with. ESTPs use this ability to get what they want out of a situation. Rules and laws are seen as guidelines for behavior, rather than mandates. If the ESTP has decided that something needs to be done, then their "do it and get on with it" attitude takes precendence over the rules. However, the ESTP tends to have their own strong belief in what's right and what's wrong, and will doggedly stick to their principles. The Rules of the Establishment may hold little value to the ESTP, but their own integrity mandates that they will not under any circumstances do something which they feel to be wrong."

Good thing she doesn't think murder is wrong! :D

"ESTPs have a strong flair for drama and style. They're fast-moving, fast-talking people who have an appreciation for the finer things in life. They may be gamblers or spendthrifts. They're usually very good at story telling and improvising. They typically makes things up as they go along, rather than following a plan. They love to have fun, and are fun people to be around. They can sometimes be hurtful to others without being aware of it, as they generally do not know and may not care about the effect their words have on others. It's not that they don't care about people, it's that their decision-making process does not involve taking people's feelings into account. They make decisions based on facts and logic."

These common dishes leave my stomach unsettled. SO NICE TO YOUR HOSTS, ILITHYIA.

"ESTPs have a natural abundance of energy and enthusiasm, which makes them natural entrepreneurs. They get very excited about things, and have the ability to motivate others to excitement and action. The can sell anyone on any idea. They are action-oriented, and make decisions quickly."

Robin is impressed by his tupemate. He's never started a slave rebellion before.

She would totally recommend it!

Also, they should meet.

Although he's honed the art of being social fairly well over the past millennia, Ishiah is definitely a person who does more reflecting than discussing, recuperating energy with the former, making him an introvert. He's all about the big picture and looking ahead, making him intuitive. Rationality is definitely key to his decisions, making him thinking. And he likes for details to be locked down and set, to know how he plans to progress, making him judging. Ishiah ends up being INTJ.

Appropriate tidbits from Personality Page include:

An INTJ scientist gives a gift to society by putting their ideas into a useful form for others to follow. It is not easy for the INTJ to express their internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand.
INTJs are natural leaders, although they usually choose to remain in the background until they see a real need to take over the lead. When they are in leadership roles, they are quite effective, because they are able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and are adaptable enough to change things which aren't working well.
The INTJ's interest in dealing with the world is to make decisions, express judgments, and put everything that they encounter into an understandable and rational system. Consequently, they are quick to express judgments.

Why so judging, Judgey McJudgerson?

Sometimes when you work a job for thousands of years, you BECOME the job. >_> ♥

My only introvert. <3

"ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems."

"ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method."

"ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable."

"More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set."

"The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened."

He doesn't necessarily trust everyone, but Sawyer isn't as much of a loner at heart as he wants to admit; his energy is taxed by being caught in his own thoughts, and rejuvenated when he's around the right people, making him an extrovert. He's all about the big picture, being intuitive. Sometimes his ability to weigh rationally as opposed to by empathy seems startlingly cold, and he's unafraid to steer other people there with his thinking tendencies. Finally, while he's highly adaptable, he likes most to have a plan, being judging. Sawyer ends up being ENTJ.

Accurate bits:

They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments. They are "take charge" people.
ENTJs are very forceful, decisive individuals. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world. The ENTJ who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding all of the issues and possible solutions.
They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills.

ISTP - The Mechanic

Quiet and reserved (check), interested in how and why things work. Excellent skills with mechanical things (uncheck. That's Zeke). Risk-takers who they live for the moment (check). Usually interested in and talented at extreme sports (check). Uncomplicated in their desires (check). Loyal to their peers and to their internal value systems, but not overly concerned with respecting laws and rules if they get in the way of getting something done (check and check). Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems (. . . not so much check XD That's also Zeke for Cole).
