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. :/

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.
