ESTJ - ESTJs are noted for their take-charge attitude, and this is perfect for Rod because, well, this is his primary attitude. He hates having to follow orders and he hates not being in control, because in his eyes, he knows best. 

They are described as dedicated, honest, and loyal. When Rodolphus commits to something, there's very little that will sway him from it, be it a person, relationship, or cause. He has a firm belief in remaining true - otherwise, what is life for? He is extroverted in the way that he enjoys company and thrives on social situations, even depending on them to make a name for himself. He uses his senses in the way that he remains realistic in day-to-day situations and chooses reason and logic over any gut feelings he may have. He focuses on his thinking rather than feelings because he knows how easy it is to be lost in one's guilt, terror, or love. He is judging rather than perceiving because order is necessary for him, and he can not be at rest when there is work to do.

Alignment - I was a little surprised at first to see that Rod had gotten the True Neutral as a result, but as I read on, I found that it made sense for a character such as he. Admittedly, I was expecting a result along the lines of ~Something~ Evil, but Death Eaters can be much more complicated than that. Basically, he does what is best for him and the people he cares for. He has little care for what happens to others, whether it be good or bad, and he has no real urge to implicitly harm people, unless given a reason - and unfortunately, his poor reasoning has to do with their blood status. 

Temperament - "From one extreme to another," it reads. This is Rod in a phrase, essentially. One evening, he could be chatting it up with his social standing mates at some ball his mother made him attend, laughing and drinking his way through the evening rather boisterously, earning the attention of everyone in the room as they marveled. The next evening he could be in a terribly piss-poor mood, a wand in his hand and some poor muggleborn on the other end. His high and lows were just that - and perhaps only that. Additionally, he was rather controlling, and leader-like, as the choleric description calls. It's one of the reasons Rodolphus does not favor the war - he did not start it, and therefore he must either be uninvolved or a follower, the latter of which was the least beneficial.

ENFJs are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, ENFJs take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community.

People are drawn to strong personalities, and ENFJs radiate authenticity, concern and altruism, unafraid to stand up and speak when they feel something needs to be said. They find it natural and easy to communicate with others, especially in person, and their Intuitive (N) trait helps people with the ENFJ personality type to reach every mind, be it through facts and logic or raw emotion. ENFJs easily see people's motivations and seemingly disconnected events, and are able to bring these ideas together and communicate them as a common goal with an eloquence that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

The interest ENFJs have in others is genuine, almost to a fault - when they believe in someone, they can become too involved in the other person's problems, place too much trust in them. Luckily, this trust tends to be a self-fulfilling prophesy, as ENFJs' altruism and authenticity inspire those they care about to become better themselves. But if they aren't careful, they can overextend their optimism, sometimes pushing others further than they're ready or willing to go.

ENFJs are vulnerable to another snare as well: they have a tremendous capacity for reflecting on and analyzing their own feelings, but if they get too caught up in another person's plight, they can develop a sort of emotional hypochondria, seeing other people's problems in themselves, trying to fix something in themselves that isn't wrong. If they get to a point where they are held back by limitations someone else is experiencing, it can hinder ENFJs' ability to see past the dilemma and be of any help at all. When this happens, it's important for ENFJs to pull back and use that self-reflection to distinguish between what they really feel, and what is a separate issue that needs to be looked at from another perspective.

People with the ENFJ personality type are passionate altruists, sometimes even to a fault, and they are unlikely to be afraid to take the slings and arrows while standing up for the people and ideas they believe in. It is no wonder that many famous ENFJs are US Presidents - this personality type wants to lead the way to a brighter future, whether it's by leading a nation to prosperity, or leading their little league softball team to a hard-fought victory.

Reflection: I believe this result fits Charity to a T, especially the points in which I have highlighted. It outlines her desire to protect others, to defend them while leading and teaching others. With a dream of being a teacher at Hogwarts, Charity is determined to teach the next generation about muggles in order to create a more peaceful wizarding world which fits the ENFJ trope. ENFJ's are tolerant, natural leaders, and reliable- but they are also overly idealistic, too sensitive, and too selfless. I couldn't be happier with this result.

Test two: What is your character's alignment? Results: Neutral good

You are 77.8% Good.  You are 15.4% Lawful. 

You do the best good that a person could be expected to do. You are devoted to helping others. You are willing to work with authority figures, but you do not feel any particular allegiance to them. You are the stereotypical “Benefactor.” You believe in doing good without any particular bias for or against order.

Reflection: As with the ENFJ result, I believe this fits Charity quite well. Admittedly, she isn't perfect; everyone has their moments of weakness, of selfishness. While she does her best to keep such moments to a minimum, it happens. For the most part, however, as it states- she does the best good that a person could be expected to do. Charity is very devoted to helping others, while remaining independent and staying neutral.

Test two: What is your character's temperament? Results: Sanguine

Your temperament is sanguine. The sanguine temperament is fundamentally spontaneous and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence. 

Reflection: Admittedly, on this test, some parts fit perfectly while I disagree with others. The last part, where it states that they are chronically late and forgetful doesn't fit Charity; in fact, she makes a habit out of being on time or early for everything. She is extremely orderly and organized, which helps in making sure she doesn't forget anything important. She is, however, compassionate, sensitive, and thoughtful. Charity is also a fairly confident woman, as well as sociable and charismatic.
