"The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions," (wikipedia). There are 16 'types' total, based on the following dichotomies:

 

Introversion (I) or Extroversion (E)

Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)

Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)

Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

 

I thought it would be fun to get a discussion going on what Myers-Brigg type each companion and advisor could be! Here's a free test if you're curious about your own.

 

Here's a link with brief descriptions of the different types! 

 

As an aside- this isn't science, and it isn't perfect. But it's fun. So why not?

 

Cassandra: ISTJ, probably!

 

Solas: Some say INTJ, some say INTP, some say INFJ! 

 

Varric: ENTP

 

Josephine: ENFJ

 

Cullen: ISFP, probably.

 

Leliana: ENFJ, probably.

 

Sera: ESFJ

 

Iron Bull: ESTP

 

Blackwall: ISFJ?

 

Cole: INFP

 

Dorian: ENFP

 

Vivienne: ESTJ

 

I'll update this thread once we get some discussion going!

Sera ESFP, likely? ISFP for Cole, maybe?
After all the talk in the Solas thread, I'm still INTP for him.
ENTJ for Cullen?

[Cosmia]

INTJs are more rigid and cold, and tend to live up to the "mastermind" description. On a stereotypical level, they're more like Death Note Kira and Illusive Man. Solas, like INTPs, is just a pleasant egghead. He doesn't mastermind anything (as far as I can tell). INTPs also deal with more theories and abstractions. INTJs research more immediately "useful" material and wish to apply it more to the real world.

I mean, Solas is helping the inquisitor to accomplish his elaborate plan, right? INTPs are generally more wishy-washy and less goal oriented, whereas it seems like Solas is very goal oriented. He might be too goal oriented, in fact.

I did graphic about DA characters before DAI. There I determined that Cullen is ISFJ, Cassandra ESTJ and Leliana ENFP. DAI gives a lot of information about the characters however so these might not be right, well Cullen and Cassandra I believe still are ISFJ and ESTJ but Leliana might not be ENFP at all ^^;

 

Anyhow, here is the whole graphic if someone is intrested:

I am curious to know what you think of Cole. I'm still waffling a bit myself, hence the uncertainty.

[Arahnea]

Looking back on Solas after finishing the game I would say INTJ

 

Dorian : ESFP?

Bull : ESTP

Varric ESFJ

 

Cass is difficult, my first impression was ESTJ but she turned out to be very respectful of others opinions in the end.

Edit: ISFJ might be correct.

 

Blackwall has taken an ISTJ personality

 

Cole: INFP if you can even assign a type to him ( Nope INFJ it is) 

 

Vivienne: ESTP : She loves intrigue, is good at the Game but at the same time very limited and shallow in the way she sees the world. Good sense of style too. Very ambitious..

[Ashevajak]

I would have said Cole is closer to INFJ maybe.

[Blackstork]

Cassandra is ISTJ

ISTJ often mis-intepreted as E types, they could be somewhat E-like.

She definitely matches to full detailed ISTJ description (not that shorty one, i am sure that her type been assigned according to information we had before DA:I, but in DA:I she proves that she is ISTJ), and for sure she is I type with all that soft personality inside.

also agree one Cole being INFJ

Also i think that Sera is ESTP (check Oghren description) (100% sure in it) - this also proven by being her in conflict with Cole (conflict relationship with Cole) 

also i disagree on Leliana being ENFP, completely. I know full classification of ENFP, and they do not match, at least in DA:I, she IS NOT ENFP

My main issue with the Myers-Brigg test is that one person can actually fit multiple "personality types". It's highly dependent on how a person perceives themselves at the time they take the test, although generally it is reliable (consistent). 

 

The test only tells you what you tell it.

[Blackstork]

Ah, Vivineee is ENFJ. btw.

100% match.

also its nice to see interesting relationship triangle of Viv - Sera - Cole ( ENFJ - ESTP - INFJ)

Yea, like I mentioned in the OP. It's not science, but it is fun!  Like an elaborate Quizzila quiz.

I think Vivienne is way too selfish to be an ENFJ

[Dermain]

 

Yes. But it was (or rather Jungian Cognitive theory) originally described like above. We all use the same functions.. they're just placed differently (so the theory goes). MBTI oversimplifies a bit and just ascribes personality based on the 4 main functions (there are 8 in total).

 

Well, it is more useful than using the original 300 (I believe that was the number) of "personality traits" that were used decades ago.

 

It's really a toss up between Myers-Briggs or the Big Five Trait (Openness/Close Minded, Conscientiousness/I'm unsure of the term for the opposite side of this spectrum), Extraversion/Introversion, Agreeableness/Not Agreeable, and Neuroticism/Emotionally Stable or Calm). I personally find the Big Five more useful for research purposes, can measure anxiety (useful for clinical work), has far more reliability for each of the scales, and being easier to administer.

To a certain extent it is.

Selfishness is trait which is not related to mbpt. Every type can be less and more selfish. ENTJ could be altruistic but another ENTJ could be selfish drama queen, this is difference which not covered by mbpt. People are very different, one works with own personality a lot and brings best from it, other spews any raw stuff he have. Sera is pretty raw ESFP, and you can not claim that each ESFP like her, or at least you can compare to same type Oghren. Where similarities begin and end, differences appear.

[Blackstork]

People type Leliana like Drew Barrymore (who also is a tossup between ISFP and ENFP, I think).

It's the whole dreamy/loopy/artistic girl thing. Heh.. they both fit the type.

Although I don't think Leliana is anything like that now. It's like she's immersed in her reverse/shadow functions.

Exactly. She is not like that in Da:I. She is very scheming, persistent and reckless.

I was under the impression that professionals and academics considered it potentially useful, but largely unscientific? I'd be interested in hearing to what extent it's scientific, though! Always good to hear more perspectives.

True as that may be but what I mean to say if that ENFJ are very focussed on other people and how they feel. An ENFJ is a in general a very supportive character. Of course you could say that she is deliberately using her talents to serve herself but I personally think that she doesn't give a crap about people and their opinions in general unless it serves a purpose, which doesn't scream ENFJ to me
