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. :/

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.

:D :D Yes, although for B7 they might be easier to map on if they were a bit more negative! In that vein, this description of the types is sort of amusing: http://www.xeromag.com/fun/personality.html

I do think Avon and Travis probably have more in common than Blake and Travis, personality wise, even though Travis is supposed to be Blake's dark mirror. I totally believe that in an AU like Corngold's, Blake would have dated them both :P

Really good call on Jenna. I wouldn't have thought of it, but now that you say it, I think it must be right! :D
