      We’ve been talking about MBTI and Characterization a lot, so I’d thought I’d make an official topic. So how do you use MBTI for characterization? What personality type is your MC? My MC is an ENFP. 🙂

        Yay for MBTI! 🙂
        Let’s see… my tally at the moment is an ISTJ, an ESFP, an ENFP, an ESFJ and an ISTP.
        That’s not counting short stories and books I’m plotting. 😛
        Anybody have a favorite type to write? I think I’ll have to go with ESFP for that one. 😉

          I tried taking the test how I thought my MC would and he came out ENTJ and I went No! No, that is not right. I’ve never tried guessing actually.

          My mom was looking at a personality type today and went into hysterics over it. That gave me the idea that starting with a personality and keeping strictly to what they say about it would actually be a good way to write humor.

            What does MBTI mean? Something to do with personality I’m guessing, but what exactly?

            INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.

                I love this topic! @gretald I’m an ENFP, with introverted tendencies.

                My MC for my current WIP is…here, wait, let me check… an INFJ. Or so I say. I haven’t really stuck to strict guidelines so far, but maybe I should…

                  Yup, the website confirmed: She’s an INFJ.

                    How did you confirm that? Did you just look at the description and match it?

                      @belegteleri, Yeah, me too. 🙂 MBTI is fascinating.

                        Hmm, apparently I’m ENTJ-A. The description wasn’t perfect, but it was fairly close.

                        INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.

                            This test is so amazing… can’t believe I haven’t heard of it before.

                            I just figured out that the MC of my first publishable work (yeah, the one that is currently high on my ‘I need to rewrite this piece of junk’ list) is an INTJ.

                            I don’t know why that makes me so happy, but it does. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😛 😉

                              I’m an INFJ-A…how interesting.

                              A dreamer who believes in the impossible...and dragons. (INFJ-T)

                                This is really weird. INFJs are supposed to be the rarest type, but they make up most of the people I know.
                                ENTJ, @hope? Cool! I didn’t think I knew any ENTJs. 😛

                                  Hahaha… guess what guys, I just found out that one of my villains is an ESTP…

                                  … and so is an incredibly vain pygmy dragon who belongs to one of my MC’s (Arianwen, @writefury— from the ‘Inter-genre Island’ thread) as a pet.
