fun with personality types; istp
this one is interesting because i only know one person like this and he's the guitarist in my band.
Quiet and reserved, interested in how and why things work. Excellent skills with mechanical things. Risk-takers who they live for the moment. Usually interested in and talented at extreme sports. Uncomplicated in their desires. Loyal to their peers and to their internal value systems, but not overly concerned with respecting laws and rules if they get in the way of getting something done. Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems.
gene, my only istp, is a really good one too. he's quiet and reserved 'til he gets to know you and then is open and he's damn good with his skills and knows how things work. he's very adventurous likes to break the rules. but his personality can be simple at the same time. he's also very loyal to his friends, namely the band right now, and is very analytical. he likes to get down to the nitty gritty and get work done. when he puts his mind to things he gets shit done. he's who i decided to analyze before i put together this list of characters.
daniel damon; he's the main player of a project i've only just begun the plotting stages of. it was conceived a few years ago and since has been dormant. either way, damon is the biggest adventurer. he's chosen a career that allows him to work his tail off, put his technical knowledge, test the boundaries, and do some extreme shit all at once. he's super dedicated and wants to know how things work. he analyzes everything he comes across and takes some gnarly risks to gather the information or prove the point he's trying to make. he's also very private and to himself when he's not talking about his passion, overall though, he's the type to go out on a limb to get shit done and can't sit still.
lucifer hale; he got the quiet end of the stick mostly. he's VERY reserved but he's also adventurous, just not in a very noticeable way. he's a huge T and needs to observe and analyze things. he's full of knowledge. he hates laws and rules and is fiercely loyal to his peers. he'll follow the rules but only because he can't stand up against them because it requires him to talk. he's extremely detached and is in his own mind most of the time. he's impossible to figure out but it's common knowledge that he's fighting one thing: the stereotype born out of his name.
benji kemper; he's also from the band story and he's taken this personality to a whole other level. he's too much of an adventurer that he doesn't stop and sniff the roses. he's always breaking rules and going out on his limb. he's detached and won't let anyone know what's going on in his head. he's also quiet and can be that shadow in the corner no one notices when he's in his zone. he's also very loyal to those he buddies up with. he just wants to go out there and tour and have fun without so much interest in following the norm. he's also a mechanic when he's not touring and those skills are natural to him.
xavier krouse; he's another prototype for the 16-type series. he's got that bad-boy look about him because he's a rule-breaking, risk-taking, adventurer who's reserved so everyone wants to know more about him. another thing about him is that it's clear he likes to break the rules. at the same time though, he's a scholar whose intelligence gives him the strong analytical side. on the outside he's a simple guy who has a thirst for getting out there and doing things, riding motorcycles and surfing. on the inside though he's incredibly smart and has clear goals in mind.
