Characterization help…again

What is MBTI?

@sarah-h

It stands for Myers Briggs Type Indicator. Myers Briggs was a psychologist who studied personality types. He divided people into 16 different personality types. There’s a free test you can take here. It’s incredibly accurate.

What is MBTI?

@sarah-h MBTI stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. There are different, 4 letter personality types that are determined by a test and it gives a profile about the result type. It’s really useful for keeping characters consistent. 🙂
I usually use this site, so you can find out more there: https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types

Well, @daeus, looks like we were posting at the same time. XD
Out of curiosity, have you looked into the cognitive functions at all?

[Daeus]

@writefury I’m not sure what you mean by cognitive functions? Is that the second stage test thing?

@daeus It’s sort of a different way to look at the test. Going by function stacks with Introverted and Extroverted Feeling (Fi/Fe), Introverted and Extroverted Thinking (Ti/Te), Introverted and Extroverted Intuition (Ni/Ne) and Introverted and Extroverted Sensing (Si/Se).
For example, instead of an ESTJ preferring Extroversion, Sensing, Thinking and Judging, they have the function stack of Te, Si, Ne and Fi.
That might not make much sense… 😛

@writefury Huh, that’s interesting. I’ve never heard of that. How does one decide which of those they are?

@daeus It’s supposedly determined by the same test. But I think research is a better way. I mean, going by functions, I’m an ISFJ, but if I go by simply preferences, I’m an ESFP. So it’s a little wonky. 😛 Actually, this site has a list of the types with the functions: http://www.25quiz.com/type-descriptions

That’s really cool. I think I’m probably an ENiFeJ. I like being specific like that.

That does sound helpful.

It is pretty cool…I used it for characterization a little while ago.

Wow!! This is a great idea! I’m gonna have to start using this for characterization. I’ve never heard of the cognitive functions though.. I’m gonna have to check it out.

Wow… that is cool guys. I think I’m an ENFP. 😀
