Which Harry Potter character are you?

As many of you know, the Myers-Briggs assessment test was developed to serve as a tool to determine personality types and is often used in the workforce to assist with team building. Someone has adapted the test methodology and connected the 16 personality types associated with Myers-Briggs to characters in the Harry Potter universe. Are you a Severus Snape or a Hermione Granger? Take the test and find out! Albus Dumbledore was the character my personality type most closely mirrored. Tell us in the comments field who yours is!

I'm Molly Weasley! I'm certainly okay with that. This is a really cool test Amanda, thanks!

(From the site) Molly Weasley: ESFJ

ESFJs are nurturing, generous and protective. In their interactions with others, they try to avoid conflict. ESFJs are usually easy-going but they will not hesitate to scold someone of whom they disapprove.

Looking on the bright side, I can at least be thankful that I am not Bellatrix.



Lord Voldemort: INTPs are inventive, logical, and ambitious. They see elements of the world around them as things to be shaped by their hand into something more useful. INTPs have strong principles and will defend them vigorously if they’re challenged.

I'm not sure how I feel to be Hermione Granger....

"ISTJ's are intellectual, precise and responsible. They are good with details and they like things to be neat and orderly. ISTJs have a strong sense of justice and they can be disappointed if people around them don't have the same high standards for their own conduct." Sounds rather unforgiving and unbendable...yikes.

I turned out to be Lord Voldemort. Beware my evil power...

It appears that I am Remus Lupin:

"INFPs are helpful, imaginative and idealistic. They are concerned with maintaining harmony with people around them and usually put other people's needs before their own. INFPs may seem aloof but they have a great capacity for caring about things or people that are important to them."

Sounds great, Ivon! Just as long as you don't develop the irresistible urge to bite people during the full moon...

Apparently, I am Albus Dumbledore:

"INFJs are ethical, empathetic and decisive. They have a keen sense of right and wrong and of their duty to uphold justice. INFJs are very perceptive, especially regarding people."

Funny, sometimes I don't feel very perceptive...

Amanda said...

Well, I think we have all learned a valuable lesson from this exercise. Don't cross Melody or Kevin...

Ah-HA! I am Minerva McGonagall! (which works out well since I already have the costume...)

ENTJs are responsible, decisive and efficient. They have excellent organizational skills which makes them natural leaders. Though planning is important to them, ENTJs are also good at improvising when their plans go awry.

Emily Rose said...

oooo I love Professor McGonagall too.

Carla said...

Well, I'm scared of heights. I stink at games, and I'm really scared of bad guys. But who am I to argue with results! At least Harry Potter gets to wear cool glasses.

ISFPs are bold, impulsive and artistic. They can be very competitive in sports or games. ISFPs are drawn to selfless acts of bravery and the quest for the ideal.

Ummm...I don't own a black cloak; my potions would look and smell like Ron Weasley's; and I would definitely run in the opposite direction if I saw a dark wizard coming. Nevertheless, according to the questionnaire, Snape's my man!

"INTJ's are resourceful, perfectionistic and reserved. They excel at planning and strategy...."

Valisa is Rubeus Hagrid.

Which means I am protective, patient and reliable. I work hard and may be underappreciated because I do not seek out praise. ( arne't we all this way during SRP? ) I am very loyal to my firends. Valisa

So, does that mean that Valisa is good with animals? What does that say about the Southwest staff??!?

I am Olympe Maxime.
ENFJs arecharismatic, sensitive and commanding. They are good at juggling a lot of tasks at once. ESFJs make good teachers and leaders, and people naturally follow them.
Really? I don't see it myself...
