I decided on a moodboard to give it a personal touch (and for the LOLS). I’ve always thought of Ali as an ENFJ-A, and when I took the test as him… same result. Also, stressing on the ‘A’ because that’s Ali, he is assertive and it’s fitting. Everything on here, I’ve tailored it for Ali.
One of the less common Myers-Briggs personalities (estimated 2% of the population)
Charismatic
Driven
Optimistic
Forward-thinking
Expect the best from others, and may find themselves disappointed when others are not as genuine in their intentions (it will take a lot for Ali to feel this, but when it happens, oh boy)
Prone to exhaustion if surrounded by too much negative emotion (see why Ali’s also Jake Peralta? LMAO)
Too selfless (yup, one way or another, Ali has spread himself too thin for the sake of others)
Overly idealistic

starting out, i thought that arlo was going to be an INTJ ( the architect ), but was not too far off when he received an INTP ( which i completely agree with ) ! INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can seem oblivious to the world around them because they are so deeply absorbed in thought. they spend much of their time focused internally: exploring concepts, making connections, and seeking understanding. they are preoccupied with theory, and search for the universal law behind everything they see. they want to understand the unifying themes of life, in all their complexity.
arlo is turbulent rather than assertive, which shows up in the way that he is success-driven, a perfectionistic, and eager to improve. “turbulent personalities are always trying to counterbalance their self-doubts by achieving more. just as they push themselves to become better, they’re as likely to push their projects or efforts in the same direction. turbulent personality types tend to notice little problems and often do something about them before they become larger ones.” ( lol- for arlo, i think it depends on what the issue surrounds. little problems that are not related to his emotions and vulnerabilities can get handled asap, but the moment he feels a bit of pressure he detaches and the issues blow up in a major way as a result. )
ꜱᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜꜱ
⊹ Relaxed and Easy-going – INTPs are flexible and can adapt to situations, which Arlo is well versed in. He can be seen as light to be with since he is often willing to compromise with his friends or people close to him, and is not one to complain over trivial things.
⊹ Enthusiastic – When a new idea piques his interest, Arlo can be very enthusiastic. He is a reserved personality type, but if another person shares an interest, he can be downright excited about discussing it. More likely though, the only outward evidence of this enthusiasm will be his silent pacing or staring into the distance unless pressed to share.
⊹ Objective – Logicians’ analysis, creativity and open-mindedness aren’t the tools of some quest for ideology or emotional validation. Rather, it’s as though people with the Logician personality type are a conduit for the truths around them, so far as they can be expressed, and they are proud of this role as theoretical mediator. Arlo enjoys being a sounding board and enjoys being able to find a more logical approach to issues for his friends in their turmoil.
⊹ Honest and Straightforward – To know one thing and say another would be terribly disingenuous – Logicians don’t often go around intentionally hurting feelings, but they believe that the truth is the most important factor, and they expect that to be appreciated and reciprocated. Obviously nobody likes lying, or being lied to, and although he strives to refrain from any sort of dishonesty, Arlo can still withhold from speaking his truth out of fear, but that more so centers on his vulnerabilities. Otherwise, he’s not concerned giving his honest feedback to his those that ask.
ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇꜱꜱᴇꜱ
⊹ Very Private and Withdrawn – When it comes to Arlo’s thoughts and emotions he can consider it an intrusion when others try to get a better understanding and insight, even for those that he is closest to. In a social setting he can sometimes feel a bit shy and reserved, which is then amplified in large crowds that cause him to fly into a mode similar to ‘auto-pilot’. In this type of setting he can feel the need to appease those around him, and will attempt to be flexible and essentially mute his needs and desires.
⊹ Absent-minded – When Arlo’s interest is captured by something, his absence goes beyond social matters to include the rest of the physical world. He can become forgetful, missing even the obvious if it’s unrelated to his current infatuation. Often times this looks like forgetting his own health, skipping meals and sleep as he muses, as well as pushing those around him away as he dissolves into what he’s found captivating.
⊹ Condescending – An issue that Arlo struggles with is feeling that his ideals and point of views are not being properly understood. In instances where he feels as though his conversation partner is unable to understand him, his means to simplify can come off as condescending and insulting. He can grow dismissive and try to end the conversation when he feels like he’s alone in his belief and his need to isolate becomes clear.
⊹ Loathe Rules and Guidelines – Arlo has a strong desire to bypass the rules, of social conduct and otherwise, with the hope of feeling some kind of adrenaline rush as a result. While this attitude helps him strengthen unconventional creativity, it also causes him to reinvent the wheel constantly and to shun security in favor of autonomy in ways that can compromise both. This can be seen when he’s with Nikki, as they both continuously strive to push limits and often behave in dicey manners.
⊹ Second-Guess Themselves – Arlo can be seen as open to new information, a part of his overly flexible attitude, which can lead him to never committing to a decision at all on his own terms. However, when it does come to his own desires and needs he can delay his output indefinitely with constant revisions, sometimes even quitting before they ever begin as he’s unable to decide what he wants or if it’s the right move for him.
so i’m happy that i got pretty close with what i thought sirena would be ! instead of her being sensing or observant, she’s more intuitive, which honestly i can see that now.
97% extraverted: Extraverted individuals prefer group activities and get energized by social interaction. They tend to be more enthusiastic and more easily excited than introverts.
51% intuitive: ( only two percent different from making her what i had guess, so i’d say i was pretty close ) Intuitive individuals are very imaginative, open-minded and curious. They prefer novelty over stability and focus on hidden meanings and future possibilities.
61% feeling: Feeling individuals are sensitive and emotionally expressive. They are more empathic and less competitive than Thinking types, and focus on social harmony and cooperation.
60% prospecting: Prospecting individuals are very good at improvising and spotting opportunities. They tend to be flexible, relaxed nonconformists who prefer keeping their options open.
⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ STRENGTHS !
Curious – When it comes to new ideas, Campaigners aren’t interested in brooding – they want to go out and experience things, and don’t hesitate to step out of their comfort zones to do so.
Excellent Communicators – It’s a good thing that Campaigners have such strong people skills, or they’d never express these ideas. Campaigners enjoy both small talk and deep, meaningful conversations, which are just two sides of the same coin for them, and are adept at steering conversations towards their desired subjects in ways that feel completely natural and unforced.
Very Popular and Friendly – All this adaptability and spontaneity comes together to form a person who is approachable, interesting and exciting, with a cooperative and altruistic spirit and friendly, empathetic disposition. Campaigners get along with pretty much everyone, and their circles of friends stretch far and wide.
⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ WEAKNESSES !
Get Stressed Easily – All this overthinking isn’t just for their own benefit – Campaigners, especially Turbulent ones, are very sensitive, and care deeply about others’ feelings. A consequence of their popularity is that others often look to them for guidance and help, which takes time, and it’s easy to see why Campaigners sometimes get overwhelmed, especially when they can’t say yes to every request.
Highly Emotional – While emotional expression is healthy and natural, with Campaigners even viewing it as a core part of their identity, it can come out strongly enough to cause problems for this personality type. Particularly when under stress, criticism or conflict, Campaigners can experience emotional bursts that are counter-productive at best.
Independent to a Fault – Campaigners loathe being micromanaged and restrained by heavy-handed rules – they want to be seen as highly independent masters of their own fates, even possessors of an altruistic wisdom that goes beyond draconian law.
⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ CONCLUSION !
over all, sirena rose is a VERY outgoing and excitable person. if she’s not surrounded by people and exploring new things, then she gets very restless and will often do reckless things just to get the heart pounding. she cares deeply for those she holds close to her heart, and there’s nothing in the world she wouldn’t do for them. hiding her emotions are practically impossible, and it actually doesn’t take very much to quickly push her over the edge with anger. despite being able to stand up for herself at any given moment, she also hates the idea of anyone she cares about disliking her. losing people close to her is probably her biggest fear. MISS INDEPENDENT by KELLY CLARKSON would be her theme song at this point in time, for sure.
BEST GUESS : before taking the test for her, had very strong inkling that astrid’s myers briggs type would be infp — and guess what, i was right ! known as the mediator, infp’s are characterized as being sensitive, compassionate, and imaginative — sound familiar ?
THE RESULTS :
astrid’s an infp through and through . infp’s look for a hint of good in just about everything they do and everyone they meet — and though astrid might appear more pessimistic than as of late, she still ultimately carries the childlike belief that everyone is inherently good ( maybe that’s why she’s attracted to the people she’s attracted to . ) to many, infp’s can come across as calm, reserved, and shy — but they also have a strong drive, and immensely passionate heart that allows them to shine when they decide to put themselves out there . it often surprises people to learn that astrid dreams about becoming an actress, and is actually a very good one . but she’s a dreamer, and an incredibly hard worker, and ultimately has all the qualities she needs to shine .
decision making is difficult for infp’s, as mediators are guided primarily by their principles, rather than by logic, excitement, or practicality . that is, when making an important decision, astrid first looks to honour, beauty, morality, and virtue . she’s led by the purity of intent, not rewards and punishment . this is why she’ll ultimately decide to go through with the pregnancy, despite it being a deadly hinderance to her own personal future .
beyond this, mediator’s also have a knack for self - expression . i mean, i don’t know if you’ve noticed, but astrid cries a lot . and through her own self - expression and exploration, she, like many other mediators, have the ability to communicate deeply with others — and reach them in ways others cannot . infp’s are inherently empathetic, and desire to create harmony for the people around them .
if they’re not careful, mediators can easily lose themselves in their quest for what is good and right . often drifting into deep and philosophical thought, astrid finds herself easily getting distracted by abstract anxieties and situations . hypotheticals are her kryptonite, and they can ( and have ) caused her to withdraw from the world entirely . once she’s in them, it’s extremely difficult for her to return to reality .
WEAKNESSES : too idealistic, too altruistic, impractical, dislike dealing with data, overly sensitive, difficult to get to know
