horror character creation based on mbti

[Libertine]

I was thinking of another one of my novel character creation ideas based on Myers Briggs personality types.

The players take the test, then receive a 10 to 20 pt advantage package and one quirk and 5-10 pt self control disadvantage based on the personality type the player pulled.

If anyone skilled in MBTI wants to chip in and I like your template, I will add it to the list.

INFJ= intuition(15), empathy(5),
Disadvantages:choose at least one: bad temper, guilt complex, indecisive.

ESTP=daredevil(15), Bad Temper(-5), Chauvenistic(-1) 9

ENFP=Charisma3(15), higher purpose(5), lecherous(-7) distractable(-1) 12pts

ESFP=fashion sense(5), charisma3(15) lecherous (-7), congenial(-1) 12 pts

Istp=fearless x3(6), artificer1(10). Disadvantages:choose from selfish, gluttony,low empathy.

Intp=single minded(5), intuitive mathematician(5), eidetic memory(5) oblivious (-5), nosy(-1) 9

As a INFJ - I'd add Single-Minded to your list as well.

Ah, but I want to limit it to 15-20 pt packages, otherwise I would.

So you are going to do an enormous amount of work to semi-randomly assign me a character I have no interest in playing. What is the point of this?

[Not]

If the process could be automated, it might make for a serviceable web doodad for wasting time at work.

This sounds like you're proposing a system under which I would play a character who was a version of, well, me. What if I really want to play a character who's not an INTP? I've never been a big fan of avatar gaming; in fact I systematically try to create a character of a new type with each new campaign I play in.

Well, unless you're a pretty decent actor, you'd probably do it wrong...

Exactly! And it would only be a small point package out of maybe 50 or 75. No two Infj's or intps, etc are alike. So back on topic to those interested on this idea, I am still open to template ideas.

I'm an ISTP (or at least that's what a free online test I just did said...), but personally I don't have Combat Reflexes, nor am I Hidebound or Staid. I'm slow to react and I'm quite the imaginative ( and frequently unorthodox) thinker and problem solver. Like what's been said before, anyone within a personality type can vary greatly from individual to individual. Applying a single stereotyped mental package for each personality just seems all too unrealistic.... at best, they could be optional.

It's the most common personality type for mma fighters, just so you know. Your right though, I should instead have a list of disadvantages to choose from.
