Rules: Find out what characters share the same personality type as you here and list the characters that you find relevant below. Then tag some friends and let them know you tagged them! If you don’t know your personality type, take the test here.

Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers

Jake Peralta from Brooklyn Nine Nine

Poppy Cross from Happy-Go-Lucky

Courfeyrac from Les Miserables

Rapunzel from Tangled

A lot of the characters on the ENFP list were a little too 'out of it' for me to really identify with (Don Quixote, Miranda, Phil Dunphy, Troy Barnes, etc) and I also wasn't familiar with of a lot of them. It also included Idi Amin (as he appears in The Last King of Scotland) which is a little worrying! But I think I found a few fictional kindred spirits!

Tagged by the lovely plusalittlejest. Thank you!

1. I only have one scar which I got from running into a brick wall and cracking my head open when I was little. Hardcore.

2. My ‘party trick’ is that I can say words backwards pretty much instantaneously and this seems to amuse people.

3. I’m very hypermobile and none of my ligaments work. And the physio has just given me a ‘strengthening’ regime which involves constant stretching and gym sessions which I’m not going survive.

4. I really want to be an academic and teach English Literature of the 17th century but it’s such a difficult and competitive field which sucks.

5. I’ve had so many different hair colours in the past four years I’ve lost count but, despite my url, I’m back to brunette for the forseeable future now.

Rule 1: Always post the rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and then write your own ten questions.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post.

Rule 4: Actually tell the people you tagged that you tagged.

if you had the power to change your favourite character’s arc, what would you do?

I'd make Tess (of D'Urbervilles fame) flee the country and retire to a tropical paradise. It ruins the character arc, plot, and social commentary of the original novel but it makes me happy so fuck it.

would you rather be able to fly or breathe underwater? and why?

Flying, as I rarely swim and live nowhere near the sea. Also I'm lazy.

can you remember anything you’re proud of saying to someone you dislike? (calling their douchebaggery out, making a sassy comment, winning an argument etc)

No as I'm too afraid of confrontation. Sometimes I rant on the internet though.

ideal wedding outfit? (if you don’t wanna get married then ideal outfit for a fancy occasion)

Jeans and an old jumper in a registry office as we hurriedly marry for tax purposes.

what song has been in your head today?

Kilo by Tink

three things other people have pointed out about you which have boosted your confidence?

What a nice question;

- My head tutor saying he saw me getting a first and the academic officer saying that I was on track for grad study (my dream)

- Anything a guy has ever said about my face or body given how insecure I used to be

- Every time anyone says they can trust me or talk to me about something really difficult. In fact, I think my close friendships have boosted my confidence far more than what anyone has said about me.

windy days or still days?

Still days. Absolutely no question. 

fantasy or sci-fi?

Umm I don't really know the difference. The only thing I'm really into that falls into those categories is Orphan Black .So yeah just Orphan Black I guess.

would you rather settle in your home country or abroad? if abroad, where?

Abroad, hopefully Berlin or Hong Kong if any university over there wants to take me on...

which fictional character do you identify the most with?

I'd like to say a badass literary woman like Moll Flanders, Becky Sharp or the 'Roaring Girl', but really I think I'm more like Elaine from Seinfeld.

these are my questions, feel free to do as little or as much as you want!

1. If you could only read one book for the rest of your life, which would it be and why?

2. What's the trashiest TV series you watch regularly?

3. What's your favourite physical feature of yourself? Be positive!

4. What's your favourite mental or emotional trait of yourself?

5. What do you look for in the gender/s you're attracted to?

6. What's the one thing you regret most in your life?

7. What's the best thing happening in your life right now?

8. What's the rough outline of your future dreams? Career, living situation, love life, whatever. It can be as outlandish and unattainable as you like!

9. What's the most terrified you've ever been?
