@kate-flournoy Ah, okay, I see now. This has been very enlightening! 😀
Currently reading Les Miserables
December 14, 2016 at 9:38 am #22745Okay, 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.
December 14, 2016 at 6:56 pm #22752@Leumeister They’re polar opposites. 😀
December 14, 2016 at 7:42 pm #22754I 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. 🙂
Theater kid. Currently depressed because I can't stop listening to sad musicals.
December 14, 2016 at 9:39 pm #22769Wow? Really? Huh… Cool!
December 15, 2016 at 1:07 pm #22802@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.December 15, 2016 at 1:15 pm #22803@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. 😉Theater kid. Currently depressed because I can't stop listening to sad musicals.
December 15, 2016 at 1:19 pm #22804@Christi-Eaton Kewel. 😀
December 15, 2016 at 9:06 pm #22866Pandora 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! 😀
December 16, 2016 at 1:21 pm #22889@Leumeister Wul have fun!
December 16, 2016 at 1:25 pm #22891@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?
