What are your favorite personality types to write about? How does that compare to your own personality?

KaiaJersaga I am an ISFJ. My favorite personalities to write are definitely my sensing (also known as observing) extraverts. Maybe that's cuz I'm an introvert and really wish I had better social skills, lol.

DreamyAlice I am an ENFJ...and obviously we all love the introverted side of our characters so yah the I part and i find it very perplexing to write about the P types cause I am a big J lol

DreamyAlice So as you are a ISFJ, can i ask you one thing..what woould ISFJs think of an ENFJ. There is a person i know who is ISFJ and man everything works like I and E is not the problem, F and J we bond on a lot, but we struggle with our differences of N and S xD

What do you think? I think S is a big part of ISFJ types

KaiaJersaga Hi DreamyAlice! I find characters with the P letter a little tricky, but so long as you write them loving to live in a disorganized mess, you should be good, lol. Okay, that really stereotypical, but it really does seem that the personalities with P are spontaneous and don't really care that much if they live lives of total complication and mess, lol.

So, I guess writers love to write the opposite of what they are themselves. Interesting.

So, I have not had a really good look into an ENFJs world, but I can definitely say that the two types can definitely work out well. As an introvert, I am drawn to those who have an E and F in their personality because they naturally have a way at putting introverts at ease with their warm nature and caring attitude. Also, ENFJs are usually quite dependable because (as far as I know) they tend to keep up old friendships as opposed to their ENFP counterparts that will run off after the newest person rather frequently, and often find themselves in conflict with older friends. That's rather stereotypical and I don't have a lotta evidence to back that up, so I guess its kinda more opinion.

Now, for the areas of conflict between an ENFJ and ISFJ-the outlook in handling problems. I know a few people who have N in their personality, and I'll be honest, it can be frustrating to me. People with the S in their personality are very detail oriented and sort of live in the past in the way that they are constantly going to the past experiences to learn about what to avoid next time. People with the N type are more future oriented and can find it difficult to focus on now and particularly the past. Because after all, the past is the past, right? I don't see it that way. I see it as the past is a learning opportunity to learn how to deal with a situation better. BUT, on the other hand, I am drawn toward those with the N because they can help me get past the old and move on to the present and future.

So, in short...
N - Big picture, future oriented, bigger imaginations
S- Detail oriented, past and present oriented, more realistic imaginations.

Please don't take offense to any of this. This is all LARGELY stereotyped.

KaiaJersaga I first got introduced to it through my sister, and then...I stayed stuck with it. Now, I use it to help me shape my characters. Almost every character gets a Myers-Briggs done in their honor to help me get to know the character more when he or she does not share my personality.

DreamyAlice Oooo that's a perfect idea @KaiaJersaga

KaiaJersaga @DreamyAlice Wow! I thought most people in this club would already be doing that, lol. Myers-Briggs helps a whole lot when I'm having trouble with a particular character's personality. Glad I sparked an idea for you!!
