User blog:SusannahWithAnH/Anne of Green Gables MBTI Types

So, I've recently discovered the Myers-Briggs personality test. I was a bit sceptical at first (can we really fit people into only sixteen different types?). However, it is pretty interesting. (You can read about it and take the test here, if you've never heard about it. I'm an INTP, by the way.)

I saw that some people on the internet had already categorised characters from things like Harry Potter and Death Note, so I thought I'd try a hand at it myself, only with characters from the Anne of Green Gables books. Here's what I ended up with:


 * ISTJ – The Examiner (Marilla Cuthbert)
 * ISFJ – The Defender (Stella Maynard)
 * INFJ – The Counsellor (Jane Andrews)
 * INTJ – The Strategist (Katherine Brooke, Nan Blythe)
 * ISTP – The Craftsman (Carl Meredith)
 * ISFP – The Artist (Matthew Cuthbert, Una Meredith)
 * INFP – The Dreamer (Anne Shirley, Walter Blythe)
 * INTP – The Architect (Shirley Blythe)
 * ESTP – The Promoter (Faith Meredith, Rilla Blythe)
 * ESFP – The Performer (Mary Vance, Di Blythe)
 * ENFP – The Champion (Gilbert Blythe)
 * ENTP – The Inventor (Philippa Gordon)
 * ESTJ – The Supervisor (Rachel Lynde)
 * ESFJ – The Provider (Diana Barry)
 * ENFJ – The Teacher (Mrs Allan, Jem Blythe)
 * ENTJ – The Maverick (Jerry Meredith)

Note that, of the Blythe and Meredith children, half of each (Walter, Nan, Una, Carl and Shirley) are introverted and the other half (Jem, Jerry, Faith, Di and Rilla) are extraverted (assuming my typing is accurate, of course). Are you familiar with the Myers-Briggs personality test? If so, what do you think?
