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. :/

Going by the 16 Personalities chart I'd put Servalan as ESTJ and Jenna as ESTP. (Although maybe Sand hints that Servalan is also ESTP?)

because the chart obviously only talks about good traits, it does make sense to map these traits onto fictional characters - particularly heroic fictional characters. blake's description is like - yup, obviously. avon's makes a lot of sense for the stuff that i think is important about avon (although i wonder if someone who did think that avon was cold and hard would get the same result. i mean - the fact that you got it for travis suggests maybe, although a) i like that you got avon and travis as the same. that suggests a fic to be and b) i like that travis's personality business is that he's reliable - by which i mean loyal. whenever i think properly about travis, i remember his reaction to maryatt. and i think - maybe travis wasn't always such a creep.)

i also like the fact that tarrant - whom you find easiest to write - is your opposite.

i have come out with ENFP btw. always find these quite difficult because i am me - so i know that i do different things in different situations. whereas (and i think we maybe talked about it with another quiz we were doing) i feel i definitively know - or don't mind choosing - what a fictional character would do.

i reckon jenna must be an ISTP from the descriptions, though obviously i dont particularly think of jenna as an introvert. it wouldn't.. not make sense though.

...but I'm, depending on the day, ENTJ or INTJ? I am not comfortable with this.

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!
