Personality types: Your character vs you

Sinami

One of the things that have caught my interest recently is this thing about personality types. What personality type am I, what defines that type, what are the characteristics and so on. I did a test a little while ago to find out my own personality type and then I got to thinking... what if I took the same test, but answered as well as I could for Sinami instead? What would the results be? How different am I from her? Or are we pretty similiar?

It turns out we both have the same basic personality type, the INFJ (introversion, intuition, feeling, judging), but I am of the "turbulent" variant and she is of the "assertive" variant.

So then I got this idea that it would be fun to see what personality types everyone else's characters belonged to. The test is here: http://www.16personalities.com/ and you can take the test once as your character and post the results here... or you could do the test twice, once as yourself and once as your charcter just to compare. You don't have to share your own result in here if you don't want to, but I think it could be interesting to see.

To make it a little bit easier for people to understand the different "extremes" I'm going to write a short explanation for each below:

Extraverted: prefer group activities, think while speaking, get energized by social interaction
Introverted: prefer solitary activities, think before speaking, get exhausted by social interaction
Intuitive: imaginative, absorbed in ideas, rely on their intuition, focus on what might happen
Observant: down-to-earth, absorbed in practical matters, rely on their senses, focus on what has happened
Thinking: tough, follow their minds, focus on objectivity and rationality
Feeling: sensitive, follow their hearts, focus on harmony and cooperation
Judging: decisive, prefer clear rules and guidelines, see deadlines as sacred, seek closure
Prospecting: relaxed about their work, very good at improvising, prefer keeping their options open, seek freedom
Assertive: emotionally stable, calm, relaxed, refuse to worry too much
Turbulent: perfectionists, self-concious, success-driven, care about their image

My own results were:

Me: INFJ-T "The Advocate" Introverted: 46%, Intuitive: 29%, Feeling: 15%, Judging: 89%, Turbulent: 16%
Sinami: INFJ-A "The Advocate" Introverted: 30%, Intuitive: 13%, Feeling: 60%, Judging: 48%, Assertive: 18%
Lomenár: ISFJ-T "The Defender" Introverted: 51%, Observant 34%, Feeling 31%, Judging 76%, Turbulent 9%

So check out the test and share and discuss your own results below! How close are you and your character personality-wise?

Nifty little idea! Though I already knew Koz and I were a little similar in nature, it can primarily be fun to see where the differences deep down lie as well. So without further ado:

Mine: Introverted: 63%, Intuitive: 9%, Feeling: 23%, Prospecting: 16%, Assertive: 10%.
Koz: Introverted: 49%, Intuitive: 14%, Feeling: 14%, Prospecting: 29%, Assertive: 42%.
(INFP-A - Mediator on both)

Both of the same personality type, unsurprisingly. Though the difference is that Koz is slightly less introverted and more assertive, and acts less on his feelings and a little more on logic (though still does follow his heart more than logic in the end, just less so than me). I've found that most of the questions where we differed focused on public interaction though, which is where Koz differs because he simply -has- to be more open-minded and more assertive due to his position as Chieftain and what's expected of him. So safe to say we're quite a bit alike, though it's mostly due to circumstances (and probably a healthy dose of orcish stubbornness) that he differs from me.

Sadok

Sadok: The Debater (ENTP-T), Extroverted: 88%, Intuitive: 81%, Thinking: 48%, Prospecting: 83%, Turbulent: 20%.

Me: The Advocate (INFJ-T), Introverted: 48%, Intuitive: 6%, Feeling: 19%, Turbulent: 44%.

So quite different, actually. Sadok's significantly more outgoing and instinctual, but he's also more theoretical.

Therak

This will be interesting...
Personally, I'm MEDIATOR (INFP-A) Introverted 40% intuitive 18% thinking 40% prospecting 11% and assertive 17%

Therak is LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ-A) Intoverted 29% observant 38% thinking 12% judging 45% and assertive 9%

Some rather major differences between us. We're both introvert and assertive. But the numbers differ. Glad I didn't make him too much like myself, not always easy to avoid.
Think, assess, act.

Srelok

Me: Mediator (INFP-T) 74% introverted, 53% intuitive, 16% feeling, 61% prospecting, 24%turbulent.

Srelok: Adventurer (ISFP-T) 29% introverted, 15% observant, 86% feeling, 9% prospecting, 9% turbulent.

Rhonya

Me: Mediator (INFP-T):  Introverted 15%, Intuitive, 19%, Feeling 52%, Prospecting 16%, Turbulent, 63%.

Rhonya: Mediator (INFP-T): Introverted 40%, Intuitive 33%, Feeling 85%, Prospecting 9%, Turbulent 85%

Same type, but still quite some differences!

Me: The Mediator (INFP-A)
Introverted 42%, Intuitive 13%, Feeling 30%, Prospecting 26%, Assertive 22%

Hellbrew: The Debater (ENTP-A)
Extraverted 73%, Intuitive 83%, Feeling 3%, Prospecting 66%, Assertive 51%

I can see that :D

Vezara

Me: The Advocate (INFJ-T) Introverted 65%, Intuitive 30%, Feeling 20%, Judging 39%, Turbulent 57%

Vezara: Campaigner (ENFP-A) Extraverted 17%, Intuitive 21%, Feeling 35%, Prospecting 39%, Assertive 10%

Huh.. when I first made Vez, I based her personality on my own, so I kinda assumed there would be more similarities.. but she has changed quite a bit since I first made her, I guess. xD

Umaua

I am...suprised how different they actually are.

Me : ARCHITECT (INTJ-T) Introverted 33%, Intuitive 43%, Thinking 13%, Judging 8, Turbulent 27%

Umaua : ENTREPRENEUR (ESTP-A) Extraverted 81%, Observant 11%, Thinking 23%, Prospecting 49%, Assertive 68%

And I kinda started to giggle at this at entrepreneur : There are no rules.
And found this very descriptive of my own attitude on Architect "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant."
And they call me insane? I am the most sane person around!
