Housepets Myers-Briggs
Anyone here familiar with MBTI? What types do you think the characters are? I'll start with the two most prominent characters.

I'm familiar with it, but I've forgotten a bunch about it.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Who the heck is Briggs?
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
That just brings up a bunch of psychology mumbo-jumbo.
also, it requires me to do stuff, i'm lazy.
You can't put together a TLDR version?

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
TLDR, it's psychology jumbo jumbo.
Sorry, I'm being difficult. Basically, it's the world's second most popular pseudoscience. The idea is that all personalities can be categorized by 16 different types. These types are determined by four dichotomies:
I (introvert) vs E (extrovert)
S (sensor) vs N (intuitive)
F (feeling) vs T (thinking)
P (perceiving) vs J (judging)
I'm going to go into a bit more detail, but remember, nobody is 100% one way or the other, it's about which you fit into the best.
Introverts tend to be quiet and enjoy alone time or small groups, while extroverts tend to enjoy large groups and being around other people.
Sensors tend to be pragmatic and often focus on details while intuitives often enjoy abstractions and looking at the big picture.
Feelers typically make decisions based on ethics or emotion while thinkers are more likely to make decisions based on what they perceive as logical
Perceivers tend to be improvisational and like to keep their options open, while judgers make decisions right away and prefer things organized
So, for example, an extroverted sensing thinking judger would be an ESTJ. This is a fairly hasty description, and doesn't even cover the cognitive functions, but it works as an introduction to MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator)

Probably. That's my thought too. https://www.16personalities.com/istj-personality

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Maxwell - ESFP.
Tarot - INTJ.
Sabrina - ENFP.
Fido - ISFJ
From the test construct, Max and Tarot are 180 degrees.
I've taken the test four times. It's very popular in some management communities and cheaper than a horoscope.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Are there any INFP characters?
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.
Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Res would be a good candidate.

Res is definitely INFP. I think he's the only one, which is interesting because INFPs are usually fairly common in fiction. Lots of INFP protagonists.

I think Keene could pass as either an INTJ or ENTJ now that I think about it. He seems like an ambivert.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
I think he's an ENTJ. ENTJs aren't usually stereotypically extroverted, but they're better at organization and getting things done than their introverted counterparts.
“Brave words from a man not holding a squid”
Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Yeah, Keene's a tricky call. Much of his behavior is extroverted, but he is sort of an "it's lonely at the top" sort. With the possible exception of Lana, the other ferrets seem to be ESFJ types.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
I would have taken Breel for an ENFP type, but now that you raise it, he has been rather by-the-book "J" lately.

Also, I'd say Rock is more of an ESTJ than an ESFJ, Rock doesn't really strike me as an emotionally sensitive type.NHWestoN wrote:I would have taken Breel for an ENFP type, but now that you raise it, he has been rather by-the-book "J" lately.
Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Rock is super meticulous and manipulative. Pit, on the other hand, is more of a ESFP, the proverbial "wild and crazy guy."

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
I dunno, I think King is more of a judger than a perceiver (INFJ, or perhaps ISFJ).
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.
Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
Llyrelated observed that Res might be the only INFP in Housepets!, and he may be right. Many literary types fall into this category.
As to King, I agree with Doug that he's a "judger".... I also kinda think he's an Extrovert, because he's so verbal, but he also show Introvert characteristics, too. (Few friends, but very close to them...) ESFJ
Regards.

Really? Hm. I personally thought of King as an ISTJ. You could be right, though.

Well, you have a point,, Llyrelated...King is a notorious and self-confessed "over-thinker".

Not sure if Res is the ONLY INFP. I'm kinda getting INFP-ish vibes from Dallas as well.NHWestoN wrote:Llyrelated observed that Res might be the only INFP in Housepets!, and he may be right. Many literary types fall into this category.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
But he’s got natural +10 charisma - the mark of an extrovert.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
...and a growing fan base that'll soon be bigger than "Delusional Steve"'s. Okay, Doug. I'm persuadable.

Re: Housepets Myers-Briggs
I can't see King as an extrovert. The only reason he became friends with Fox is because Fox approached him, and King was quite content to let Fox be his only friend for a very long time. He's over analytical, quiet, and doesn't really go out of his way to talk to people. It seems he really just wants to be left alone and enjoy a life of pleasant consistency, which seems very ISTJ to me.

Kitsune might well be ENTJ.
Cerberus could well be ESFJ.
