meridian_rose: pen on letter background  with text  saying 'writer' (writer)

Today is the day of the ten day blogging challenge :D
Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] agatharuncible for this link about writing style and the Meyers Briggs types.



Go to What Does Your Writing Style Show About Your MBTI Type and try out samples of your writing.

As I've previously mentioned I almost always score INTJ. I tried out three pieces of writing to see why types they suggested about me.

One of my diary/ramblings entries:

INTP
But the P vs J was very close: Perceiving (57.2 %), Judging (42.8 %)

So far, so good.

A recent original fic entry:

ESFP

Where F was overwhelming, Feeling (99.3 %) Thinking (0.7 %)
The fic is third person POV from a female character I class as ENFJ

A recent fanfic entry:

ESFP where E/I was close Extraversion (54.6 %) Introversion (45.4 %) and P/J was close Perceiving (53.5 %) Judging (46.5 %)
The fic is third person POV from a male character I think is most likely ESTJ or ESTP.


Is this a good thing? Does all fictional writing skew ESFP? Does it relate to the character viewpoints? IDK. It's interesting though.

As a bonus, as seen on Tumblr, Dick moves by type
I'll make an exception for certain people but I do have a strong sense of responsibility so that's probably fairly accurate for INTJ. The things that most piss me off are in bold.

ESTJ: Will not give a damn how you might be doing or what your priorities are; if you’re not measuring up by their standards it’s simply because you are deliberately trying to piss them off.
ESFJ: Will throw a shit fit about how you are tearing whatever group apart if you request even the slightest bit of independence.
ISTJ: Will act wastefully alarmist every time you try to do something new and different, and probably insult you for it, too.
ISFJ: Will become a totally whiny sad-sack if you don’t pay them the attention they think they have earned.
ENTJ: Will openly mock you in conversations, also while probably not letting you get a word in edgewise.
ENTP: Will play shitty devils-advocate games over every issue imaginable.
INTJ: Will blow you off to work; whatever their definition of work may be at that time.
INTP: Will forget half the things you tell them and make you feel completely insignificant.
ENFJ: Will treat you like a project rather than just being your friend.
ENFP: Will forget that you are friends if you fail to keep daily contact with them.
INFJ: Will compensate for their complexes about feeling insignificant and misunderstood by dominating conversations.
INFP: Will sanctimoniously defend and try to make you empathize with your worst enemies.
ESTP: Will make a wide array of promises they have no intent on keeping.
ESFP: Will interrupt you to inquire urgently about random sights/sounds/smells.
ISTP: Will go way too far with sarcastic remarks.
ISFP: Will oversimplify everything, and tease you if you don’t.

I choose the Myers-Briggs type for my characters as part of my writing process, and analyzing the writing from different stories, it does indeed match my POV's type. Idk if it would do it as precisely if that wasn't part of my process, but I found a pretty high correlation between what I had in mind and its result.

This is interesting. :D
I think when you write from a character's POV it is supposed to screw your test results because you're not you, you are your character. And it's awesome when even such tests can tell the difference. :D

Whoa, that definitely sounds like me when I defend Joffrey and the like... LOL. Only I'm not INFP... At least I don't think I am. O_o

Yes, with fiction writing, even when it's first person, the results will never be 100% true to the character because you still need to add descriptions and stuff, that the character wouldn't have normally "thought" to describe, if the reader didn't need them to.
Still cool to have things tested though. :D

I understand why you feel this way about Joff. I'm not blind when it comes to him. I see that there is A LOT to hate in Joff. But that's exactly why I feel the need to defend him. o_O Maybe I'll make a post about it some day.

Anyway. I'm the perfect picture of sanctimonious, arrogant incompetence! How do you stand me? O_o

I took many quizzes... it's just that I always forget my results. My brain just refuses to remember them. IDK why. Weird. o_O

How interesting. It makes sense that your characters wouldn't be the same type you are. Sometimes it seems like more fictional characters are extroverts, when in fact in real life, it's slightly skewed toward introverts. I have to admit I'm less confident about the meaning of the last letter choice, Judging or Perceiving.

However, I do know I'm an INFP, because I've taken the test, as part of a school thing years ago. I don't know if I sanctimoniously defend other people's enemies - I hope not all the time!
