the-misty-mountains tagged me to do this aeons ago. Naturally, I came to to do it decades ago, and the whole thing has been in my drafts ever since. It's time for this post to see the light. (btw thanks for tagging me Grace, it was really interesting and you're a sweetie)
Rules: Find out what characters share the same personality type as you (here) and list the characters that you find relevant below. Then tag five friends and let them know you tagged them.
(If you don’t know your personality type, you can take the test here.)
My personality type is ISTP, the Crafter.
(ISTPs are structurally oriented and very good at understanding how things work. Quiet, analytical and private, they nonetheless gravitate towards Xtreme Sportz and other high-speed, high-risk hobbies.)
List of ISTP characters:
Aragorn from Lord of the Rings
Arya Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire
Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time
Han Solo from Star Wars
Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus from Sailor Moon
Hephaestus of Classical Mythology
J.J. from Criminal Minds
John Luther from Luther
Lady Mary Crawley Downton Abbey
Levi from Attack on Titan
Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Oliver Queen from Arrow
Robin Scherbatsky from How I Met Your Mother
Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation
Rust Cohle from True Detective
Stacker Pentecost from Pacific Rim
The eponymous Sherlock Holmes
The Janitor from Scrubs
The Ninth Doctor from Doctor Who
Viktor Krum from Harry Potter
Wolverine and Mystique from X-Men
To be honest, I just listed characters from things I like. There are so many cool people on this list, I'm not sure I can compete with them (which is not the purpose here but anyway). I think my favourites are Aragorn, Arya, Mary Crawley, Edward Elric, Rowan Swanson and Rust Cohle.
I tag marions--square, bellaciaociaociao, dealwithhim-hemingway, stopdancinglikethat and draumurfaeoist.
Bonus round:
Bella Swan from Twilight also appears to have an ISTP personality. I was surprised, since I was not aware that she had any personality to begin with.
Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.
