Good evening, fellow writers.
I admit I have been curious about something for some time but I have not yet had opportunity to test my theory. I would like to know if certain MBTI types have typical genres they write in.
Comment below with your type and favorite genre. We shall see if there is a trend to the results.
MBTI?

#ProtectSeb@ugroza OH Looked it up lol. Figured it was Myers-briggs something lol! So, last I took the test, I got mediator (which is so me. But idk if its changed lol.) And I really love fantasy. Also, apparently Tolkien was a mediator also and he wrote fantasy. Plus, Mediators are the ones most likely to dream of or write a book!

#ProtectSebI first learned of them as the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) but they are also known as the 16 personalities. They are categories of 16 different types. Theoretically, everyone is one of the types.
Here is the link to take the test if you are interested.
https://www.16personalities.comI am an ENXP. The X is because I’m borderline F and T. I heard that most writers are introverts, but I’m eager to see what we find here.
A wolf is a wolf,
even in a cage,
even dressed in silk.I’m a Mediator (INFP) too! And I also write fantasy! Maybe there is a trend after all 🙂
I’m also an INFP, and I like writing sci-fi (sometimes fantasy) 🙂

www.jennaterese.com@ugroza Every time I take the thing I get something different, but I usually get INFJ, INFP, or ISFJ. I like writing fantasy, crime, slice of life.
Lately, it's been on my brain
Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysI’ve taken the test multiple times, but like @devastate-lasting I always get a different answer. My “personality” drastically changes depending on the day and my mood, and who I’m around. Sooo, yeah. XD But my favorite genres to write in are fantasy, and contemporary.
I’m an ENFP and my favorite genre is either suspense or action-adventure but I mainly write fantasy. *shrugs* I’m weird. 😜

Interesting topic!
I took the 16 Personalities test a while ago and discovered I’m a Mediator. My favorite genre is Biblical fiction, so that’s what I write.
I already told you, but I’m an ENFP and I love to write fantasy and thriller/suspense!!!!!!!! 😀

-gladiator, 2000I have noticed almost everyone who has responded is in XNFP. Interesting.
*waves* I’m ISTJ. We commonly write more logical and intellectual stuff but I prefer just totally overthinking my plots and characters. 🙂

ekseaver.wordpress.com@ugroza, yeah, most writers are Ns, and most fantasy/fiction/YA are XNFP. Has to do with the Ne urge for creativity and the Fi urge for expressing oneself.
