Wow, it's necro season around here, huh?

Kind of glad, though, since I missed this one the first time around.

 

One thing that I will say is that I'm glad that Morrigan represents INTJ on the DA chart.  Normally, when fans make the chart for a franchise, they don't understand the personality types all that well and just put the coldest villain as INTJ.  Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't.  Morrigan is a beloved character in the series and one of the 'good guys' (as good as a gray character can be) and she's the face of INTJ here, which I appreciate given that I've tested as INTJ in ever single Myers-Briggs test I've taken.

 

ETA:  So I just went and, for shits and giggles, took two online Myers-Briggs tests just to see if I'm still only getting INTJ.  And, lo and behold, I got ISTJ both times now.  Is possible that I've changed from a Morrigan to a Fenris in the past few years?  I might be okay with that because ISTJ is pretty damned cool too.

I remember this thread, no one ever responded to my theory that Solas was actually an ENTJ and his current behaviour is a response to the consequences of his actions :)

I can't believe any one was familiar with this personality system. I have wasted my time learning about this, mostly because I wanted answers after taking myers briggs quizzes...I don't even know how I discovered it but anyway i tested as an Infj...but I disagree (i'm an Infp)i took it just now and got intj.
 
In my opinion;
Morrigan - INTJ ..? 
Cullen - xSTJ
Leliana - ISTJ
Josephine - ESFJ
Cassandra - Being the most driven and pragmatic member of the inquisition, I would say there is strong Te and Se, so perhaps ISTJ or ISFP.  
Varric - ENTP.
Solas - INFJ (I certainly don't agree with INTJ, although I should really play trespasser before making any conclusion)
Iron Bull - a very obvious ESTP
Sera - ESFP. 
Vivienne - ESTJ. 
Cole - INFP is the closest type I guess
Dorian - ENFP
Blackwall - ISFP

I think it's Te. I am ISFP.. We have Te but it's something valued in others rather than something we first approach the world with ourselves. And vice versa with Fi for TJs. Both mirror each other and share the same primary functions, just in reverse. But I think she's ENTJ actually (still strong Se), while the Te makes her seem less extroverted than EPs. And she's a lot more future oriented and open (Ni) than STJs like Aveline and Cullen. My 2c.

 

You could be right and she's ISFP, but fully realized in all functions.. but that's apparently something that comes in old age and having your dual rub off on you. I'm not there myself. ;)

I've wasted my time too.. not anymore.. but I can't get it out of my head now.

Cassandra is definitely ISFP. She isn't logical or rational at all. Everything she does is in the heat of the moment according to how she feels (Fi), caring little of how it makes her look or how it affects others. She's easily able to drift between her emotions, being hot-headed and argumentative one minute to being caring and emotional the next, with all of it being genuine. She can be dry and serious, but her emotional states are much more effervescent than a true Te user.

 

Compare Cassandra's Guilty Pleasure quest to Vivienne's Spa Day and you can see the difference. In the former, she's unable to contain her excitement at getting to read Varric's new book and even gushes over it more in the ending of Trespasser. In the latter, even though Vivienne appreciates the Inquisitor's company and is enjoying herself, her emotions are more subdued and don't reach as much of a high as Cassandra's.

 

However, I will say that Cassandra is a rather balanced individual. Even though she uses Fi more than Te, she's still able to put her emotions aside to get the job done, like in her Inner Circle quest, though as you can see, she still gets worked up quite easily once she confronts Lucius.

Fi isn't just about emotions. Everyone has emotions. It can come out emotionally in TJs as much as FPs. You especially see it if they get mad around incompetence or when a plan goes belly up. They only think it's not emotional because they can spell it all out. It "just makes sense", but it can still be fierce sometimes. Also, FPs improvise and socially manuever with people in a more sensitive way. You're treating it like it's just an emotional or chaotic thing, when the Primary is the best function for any type. Te is not all about logic either, but efficiency and enacting objectives. Every TJ I know seems to want to distance themselves from any "egghead" stereotype. It's out in the world and mostly practical. Sometimes steps on toes. They're very informative, but not in the stoic, cerebral way with Ti.

 

ENTJs have those guilty pleasures too. I kind of wish I still had this book that spoke about it.. I'd quote it if I could. It even had a story of an ENTJ who watched sappy romantic movies in her downtime and had strong beliefs about things. The difference is it's not her usual mode. It's called "Was that Really Me?" by Naomi Quenk :)

Fi isn't just about emotions. Everyone has emotions. It can come out emotionally in TJs as much as FPs. You especially see it in traditionalist ESTJ types, who might flip out on people on what they're uncomfortable with. Or just get mad around incompetence or when a plan gets screwed up. And TJs aren't Percieving types, who improvise their feelings and socially manuever with people differently. FPs are generally good at this. It's their primary function. Te is the one that jumps it to organize and control it's environment. This can step on toes more. It's not all about logic either, but efficiency and enacting objectives. You'll find more of the stoic, cerebral thinking with Ti/ ITPs.

 

You bring up good points, and it could also be because of her devout faith and her penchant to make some decisions with her gut feelings that I see her as an Fi-dom. I could see her being an ISTJ, since she has higher Fi than a typical ESTJ and not a whole lot of Ne.

Thanks for reading. That's probably my own Te coming out above btw, when I try to articulate this ****. :D It doesn't come naturally to me, but I can kind of do it.

 

The best MBTI book I ever read was written by an INTJ apparently. Lenore Thompson/Personality Types. It's a good read.

Similar to my mbti type! The internet is crowded with Intx types, i've never seen anyone who is an Isfp until now :) .

 

That is true - Te is a weakness for the Infp and Isfp types, so as an Isfp she would have to have a really good use of Te. She is orientated to the future and demands answers from people in fear of what could happen next. Inferior Ne types worry about future possibilities too, and I get the sense that xSxP types dislike uncertainty. I agree that she is different from someone like Cullen (haven't played enough of DAII to know what aveline is like). She is a good example of sensor - they are said to be grounded and good at making ideas a reality (as opposed to intuitive who are better with generating ideas and seeing future possibilities) . I found a description for Se from sociotype.com;

 

"The individual feels at home among people who are actively doing something and interacting with each other directly (visibly), and is able to organize people, move them around as necessary, and guide them in achieving a specific goal. He or she likes obedience and even subservience in others, since it allows him to "make things happen" more effectively. He is keenly aware of territorial conflicts and confrontational behavior occurring around him. He very quickly becomes confrontational when others try to make him move or get him to do something in an aggressive or confrontational way. He quickly recognizes when people are trying to get each other to do something or are trying to organize him for some purpose. He also spontaneously uses aggression to achieve his own goals. "

 

I think that describes her personality quite well. Perhaps it is Fi-Se in action that looks like Te. Because I also think she shows too much Fi judgement for an ExTJ type, compared so someone like Vivienne who has a different vibe from her. I think she could be a well balanced SFP or possibly ENTJ. She is a fictional character after all, so no type is going to make perfect sense for any of them.
