first site I encountered, can't remember how accurate as I havent studied Myers-Briggs in years.
Based on this I require Alistair or Sebastian in my life 
I usually find myself pulled to a character based more on the trope they pull in the story than anything else.
A good portion of my favorites usually start out as major assholes that everyone else hates and then develop because xyz event happened.
Hm, looks like I should like Varrics and Lelianas, but I could never be more than friends with them. My one true love is more like Loghain. I think these types don't describe people well. No tests ever do.
Myers Briggs is usually pretty accurate in subdividing people into categories, but the relationships seem to be based on the theory that opposites attract. For me that's generally true- I like outgoing, confident people, but I also like strong, quiet personalities, and I love a good sense of humour and a nice voice. They are probably the most important things I look for if I'm honest. So I think their relationships bit is very over-simplified, but still fun 
So I'm kinda late to the party. I have a nasty habit of rejoining the thread, neglecting to check upon it for a few days, and getting out of sync with the gossip. My bad. Anyway, I just took the test, and got INFJ. I'm Wynne!
N'aaww. I wouldn't say I'm controlling, but I'm often told I do things for others at my own expense. Such as dying of exhaustion when trying to save people from bloodthirsty demons, only to be resurrected by a Spirit from my dreams.
I thought I was the Merrill type buut Leliana it is~and I don't mind :3
Yes I get this but I wanted to put Anders DA:A personality up there rather than what he's in DA2. I think Justice is INFJ and like Anders said in DA2, none can tell where he stops and Justice begins. I think Anders had some high values in DA:A but he wasn't that intrested about mage freedom, that would have been his utopia but not something he'd have worked towards, I think personal freedom was his goal in DA:A.
Oh, I agree with you with DA:A Anders is ISFP. Though I've heard people say ESFP as well. I think it's interesting (and sad) his personality changed to such an extent between games, really. I might type Justice as ENFJ though... ENFJ + ISFP = INFJ I guess??
I don't like the idea of Justice's personality taking over Anders' so completely. 
I'm INFP, so I guess explains why I love Alistair. Sebastian can jump off a cliff though. Screw him and his chaste marriage.

Hm, I think maybe the online test is not the best way to do it. Because I just did it again, and now it says I'm Merrill. Maybe it depends on my mood. I think both are wrong, because I don't think I have a cause to die for Anyway, it's not used in our country, so I don't bother. And I can never remember what these codes mean anyway.
Speaking of big causes to die for, do you think Cullen joins the Inquisition to achieve something epic? Like to reform the Templars and the Circle system? Or maybe he just wants to help saving the world? Or maybe he is a very ambitious guy, and he thinks it's a great opportunity to finally become somebody? Or maybe Cassandra just dragged him in (threatening to slap him with a book or to stab him in the knee)?
Edit, because I caught this moment yesterday, and I thought Cullen looks funny here:
I think after a bit of photoshopping, it can be turned into a "screw you, guys, I'm going home" poster
So I was about to ask why people love Cullen so much, because I don't get it. But then I took that MBTI test, and I kid you not, it turns out I'm a ISFJ. I guess it makes sense, Superman is my favorite hero after all.
But back to my original question, why is it that Cullen ended up being such a widely requested companion for DA:I? I remember him well from DA2. He seemed like a genuine good guy who was capable of putting reason before his duties, which is why he told Meredith to stuff it at the end.

I can see him being ESFP as well, ISFP and ESFP has many similar qualities ^^ However I think ISFP is little better for him being a freedom lover and hating rules and I think ESFP doesn't have as high values, it's mostly wanting to love the moment you are living ^^; Well this is only my take though. In other hand I see Justice more as loner than people-person.

I'm not completely sure why so many people like Cullen and in other hand why so many people dislike him. I think he gives nice perspective to current events in DA2 which is why I talked with him a lot there. I didn't first care much about him but I slowly got more intrested and started to like him more. I think I just like his character deveploment most, how he has changed during the games. He's intresting character to analyze XD
One of my biggest reasons was to finally have a templar companion.
One that actually has quite a few years of actual templaring behind them as well to boot.
I thought his character was sweet he has a strong sense of right and wrong, and in DA2 he does the right thing at the end. One of those people who seems to be working hard behind the scenes, an ordinary person who's gotten mixed up in something big. This could go for a few people I suppose, but I like a lot of characters

Putting his story arc aside for a moment, largely it's because he's a bit of a mystery. We've seen him across the course of 2 games and watched from the sidelines as his story arc progressed, he's a returning character like Sandal and Bodahn who have continued to appear in each DA installment... a reoccurring theme that brings back a little familiarity to each new game when everything else about it has changed drastically. Of course, while it feels like we know him well in actual fact we know next to nothing about him beyond what the game showed us. We don't know what his life was like before joining the Order, we don't know his family background, we don't really know his likes and dislikes, what his off-duty personality is like or even what his Surname is (if he even has one!) And that's what's interesting! From a creative standpoint so far we've been able to project, speculate and theorise pretty much anything we want about him which tends to capture people's imaginations, but from a purely character driven standpoint the fact that we know just enough about him to peak our interest, but not enough to know him "intimately" the way that we have with past companions is what continues to drive our curiosity to find out more about him.
In regards to his story arc, (I think I can speak for near enough every Cullen fan residing within this thread) it's simply a case of finding his story an intriguing one. In DA:O he starts off as a naive boy who actually feels bad for the mages (something you only get to see if you play the mage Origin), of course later when the Ferelden circle gets attacked he becomes angry and bitter after being tortured for weeks/months at the hand of blood mages and demons, which understandably sends him down a rocky path. To be honest, after those DA:O epilogues I don't think any of us really expected to run into him again, and if we did then we just presumed that he'd either be an escaped mad man, a balls to the wall hardlined Knight Commander, or a completely broken man... so to see him pop up in DA2 as the Knight Captain serving under Meredith was a bit of a surprise! What's even more surprising is that despite his initial seemingly hard-lined attitude he does start to question Meredith and the Order, he gradually begins to realise that the way Meredith ran things wasn't morally right, yet all the while you can see that he's still suffering the effects of what happened to him back in Ferelden and is fighting between his heart and his head in a constant internally struggle as he tries to come to terms with the situation. If you play a pro-templar Hawke towards the end of the game Cullen will actually try to save 3 mages that come to them for help, Meredith wants them dead but he states his case and despite the fact that they might be blood mages he wants to spare them. The fact that he does this shows a BIG turning point in his character growth considering he'd been tortured by blood mages and watched his Templar brothers and sistes die years before hand. Aaaaaand then there's the final battle where he fights by Hawke's side to slay his boss... it's a big deal!
Sooooo, yeah, we just find him a very interesting and complex man. It's not often that you get to watch a character (specificially a non-companion) grow across 2 (soon to be 3) games from the sidelines without having any real input into how they turn out.
Agreed. Plus, I find his character development arc interesting, expecially for how it could continue in DA2.One of my biggest reasons was to finally have a templar companion.
One that actually has quite a few years of actual templaring behind them as well to boot.
(I'm quite practical in truth).
Agreed.
I took the test and my result is INFP, like Merrill. I partially find myself in the model (I'm reserved, I care about people and try to find the good in everyone, and I'm creative), though I'm not that idealistic
You agree and we both got INFP. Maybe there is something to these tests. 
I think I shift between my idealist/practical levels on a weekly basis.
I'd also like to know why the font on my posts keeps change style and size, lol!
This is an interesting question. I wonder if he's an ambitious guy. I always think of his rapid rise up the ranks in Kirkwall as something pushed upon him by Meredith. But what if it was also something he wanted himself? Could he have engineered it himself? Hmm. Haven't thought about that possible angle on him.Speaking of big causes to die for, do you think Cullen joins the Inquisition to achieve something epic?

Did you cut and paste from another program? There are probably hidden font tags.I'd also like to know why the font on my posts keeps change style and size, lol!

Presumably he won't be joining this time because he "wanted to be a Knight".
While I've no idea why he created his militant faction (if he even create it himself), or whether it was even a thing prior to the veil ripping open, but I think it's safe to assume that he wouldn't want Thedas to go to hell so it doesn't surprise me that he put himself forward to help the Inquisition, or at least agrees to help once we approach him. It doesn't take a genius to realise that demons pouring out of the Fade is a bad thing, so he's obviously well aware (perhaps more than most) that the chances of success are slim but if he can tip the balance further into the Inquisition's favour by not only using his skills and man power as an experienced warrior/soldier with an army but also his knowledge of magic, demons, the Fade and the events surrounding the red lyrium idol in DA2 then every little helps!
As for whether or not he'll have an angle or call in a favour? It's possible... they all tend to have something they want our poor protagonists to do for them! Perhaps he'll want the Inquisitor to use her/his power and influence to eradicate the Red Templars? I'm hoping he won't want us to help him bring all the mages back to the circle though, that's something I don't think I'd be willing to do... not unless some major changes we're made to allow them A LOT more freedom.

Nope, I just typed it straight into the box.
Speaking of him wanting to be a Knight, that was the piece of dialogue that never made it into the game, right? I wonder if they'll keep that as "canon" to his story? For example, the Inquisitor asks him why he joined the Order and he'd tell a story about being young and wanting to be a brave Knight fighting monsters and saving innocents etc. Or maybe they'll scrap it and come up with something else?
If it's the former then it makes me think that perhaps he wasn't a Chantry orphan after all and instead has a family and he was just bored of the quiet life and dreamt of a life full of adventure... clearly joining the Templars was a bad choice of occupation if that's what he had hoped for, LOL! While I still love the idea that he was an orphan dumped on the steps of the Chantry as a tiny baby (because I'm evil) I also kinda like the idea that he came from a very poor background and was a bit of a gutter rat, often getting into trouble running with the other poor kids as they stole and begged for food/coin and generally got into all sorts of mischief. He'd always wanted to get out of the slums and be someone important (and maybe after getting himself in trouble one to many times or something equally bad/sad) he decided to concentrate his efforts into making something of himself, began training himself to fight and when he came of age joined the Templars.
Hell, if my bloody Inquisitor can't have a gutter rat background then someone's got to! (Probably Sera).
IDK, I'm really starting to see Solas' attraction. The images that were released with that German gaming article were grainy and he looked kinda pinched and way too thin, but the chiseled features and that dimpled chin are starting to win me over. And I've always liked the looks of DHMG and Beardy. It looks as if Cullen may have some competition, at least among my Inquisitors who like men. I'm saving at least one of my male Inquisitors for Cassandra.
And is it just me, or does Beardy remind you of Ned Stark in that art eluvianix posted?

Personally I could see him wanting to keep the circles, but with some form of compromise with the mages. Like in DA2 he comes up with the idea of educating the mages as to why the Templars act the way they do, something that I don't think (though I haven't read the books or comics) has been done in any of the circles before. I could totally see him wanting a change in the way the circles are run, even though he would still want them to exist as a sanctuary.
