Writers, do you ever take personality tests from your character's perspective?

    That's a brilliant idea!
    I decided to do one just now for one of my more recent characters. He turned out being the exact opposite of me, lol. I'm INFP, he's ESTJ. Extremely interesting :grin:

    Yeah, I've run all my characters through the MBTI test just out of sheer boredom. I had twelve characters at the time I did it (16 now), but my two main male protagonists, Ludwig and Gianluigi, both scored INTJ... which happens to be what I scored, as well. :sweat_smile:

    The funny thing is that those two are nothing alike, but they got the same result. Then I realize how many personality traits both of them unconsciously got from me and I cease to be surprised.
