        Okay, I just profiled two of my characters from Aquila. Pandora Flynn and James Manning.

        James is a Campaigner (ENFP-A). And I think that suits him, because he’s passionate about doing the right thing, and getting the right thing done. He’s also a bit more outgoing, but has a somewhat insecure side to him.

        Pandora is a Logistician (ISTJ-T) She’s very practical, and reserved. Blunt, but doesn’t want to rebel. But there is a rebellious streak inside her that gets awakened when James comes along. I’m actually not sure how well this might fit her…but I tried to answer the questions the way I think she’d answer, so… Plus she’s turbulent, so she may think differently sometimes.

          @Leumeister They’re polar opposites. 😀

            I should do this for my characters, sounds like fun. I am an ESTJ myself, though I am actually introverted, meaning I get my energy from alone time. Other than that I am pretty much fully ESTJ. 🙂

                @Christi-Eaton ESTJs are amazing. 😀 Talk about getting things done! So the description of the ESTJ sounds more like you than the ISTJ, even though you’re introverted? Neato.


                @Leumeister
                I thought it was cool. XD Any two types that have exactly opposite letters are polar opposites, at least in theory. So ENFP, ISTJ—both of those have completely opposite functions from each other—Extrovert, Introvert; iNtuitive, Sensing;…and so on and so on. It’s neat.
                Although if you have someone with a Turbulent type like you said Pandora has, they’re obviously less that type, so it won’t be as completely opposite.

                  @emma-flournoy, Yeah, it’s pretty strange, I’m definitely not ISTJ. But aside from my introvertedness, I am pretty much fully ESTJ 🙂 (especially when I am doing something I really enjoy.)


                  @i-j-anderson
                  , you probably would enjoy this conversation. 😉

                      @emma-flournoy:

                      Pandora will probably develop her character a bit further during the story, showing some other personalities other than ISTJ. I can’t wait to see where I take her and James, and I don’t just mean location-wise! 😀

                          @emma-flournoy What happened to you? All of a sudden you’re talking like me. I mean, of course, that’s the only proper way to do it, but are you alright?

                              @Daeus Guess I’ve just been spending lots of time around kewel people. 😛 And of course that’s the only proper way to talk! Who would dare suggest otherwise?
