B7 and the Myers Briggs

[elviaprose]

I think the Myers Briggs is mostly nonsense, but I enjoy taking personality tests as B7 characters, and this one is well suited. If you feel the same, I invite you to take the Myers Briggs as a B7 character or two (or look up the descriptions of the types and choose that way) and tell me what you think they'd be. This one is decent: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

And provides decent descriptions of the types: http://www.16personalities.com/personality-types

And this one is quick and dirty, but gave me the same result the longer version did, when I took it as myself:

My results so far are:

Blake: ENTJ
Avon: ISTJ
Travis: Also ISTJ!
Cally: INFJ (my type)
Tarrant ESTP (my opposite)
Dayna: ESFP
Servalan: ISFP

Jenna is stumping me. I tried taking it as her, but the result I got didn't fit at all. :/

Interesting. I agree with you on Blake- years ago I used to be solidly ENTJ every time (when I was an heartless but dedicated tax inspector) and it was definitely very Blake-like. These days I'm more INTP- the world can sort itself out without me, I'll just play with the interesting bits.

I'm not surprised that Avon and Travis share characteristics. Travis doesn't much like compromise and self deceit either. I'm not at all convinced by Servalan's though. I ended up with her as an ENTJ too- the precise opposite of yours!

Glad you agree about Blake. He can be so slippery for me!

I can see Servalan as an ENTJ! It would be interesting if she and Blake were the same type and so were Avon and Travis. I think my interpretation of Servalan must be very different than most people's. I've never really written her, actually.

One of the most useful things I ever heard about fanwriting was Penny Dreadful's advice about walking in the character's shoes (well, in Servalan's case they'd be too high for comfort, but you know what she meant). I didn't feel I could write Servalan until Betrayal (with Tarrant as it happens) and since then I've felt at least potential sympathy for her.

Yeah, that is good. Must remember it! I also like Joss Whedon's advice not to have a character say something just to set up a joke or a good line for another character.

ETA: Makes perfect sense, if you put Blake and Servalan in the "Think they know how to govern the Federation" folder and Avon and Travis in the "Obsessed with Blake" folder.

True!
