Fi: Sybil has a strong moral drive, which stems from within herself rather than what she observes in others (she’s an awesome feminist). She’s very careful to be certain that an action is right before she pursues it, thus her slowness to accept Tom as a romantic interest. At the same time, she doesn’t really care about her social image or Continue reading

Si: Allan Turing was a detail oriented person, meticulous in all things and precise to the point of not even noticing larger social rules and customs. Turing had a tough time picking up on social cues and reading behind the lines. However (unlike the Turing represented in The Imitation Game), he had a keen sense of humour, and was an extremely approachable person. His co-workers at Bechley Park were actually quite fond of him, and in most aspects, Turing was polite and well mannered. Continue reading
Dominant Se: Donna loves excitement and new experiences. She doesn’t hesitate to jump in and be a part of things, whether it’s attempting to adopt the language or slang of a culture she finds herself in and she loves to dress the part. Donna is aware of her physical environment and points them out to the Doctor (who isn’t always quite as aware of the same). She likes to sit Continue reading
Ni: Percy Toplis is a strategist, who knows how to manipulate people and the system to get what he wants. He doesn’t have a long-term goal, other than self-gain, but whenever he figures out what he wants, he pursues it diligently and meticulously until he squires it. Toplis has a knack for picking up behavioural dynamics and knows how to imitate pretty much anyone for his cons. Toplis has an idiosyncratic sense of humour, which he uses both to amuse himself and to disconcert others. He tends to think most people rather boring, and Continue reading

Fi: Anna keeps her suffering to herself. She doesn’t want to convict the man who raped her because she doesn’t want anyone to know what happened to her. She even keeps it a secret from her husband. Anna is loving towards everyone, but doesn’t allow anyone to boss her about or control her behaviour. When something is important to Anna, she devotes all her time and energy to it. Continue reading

Dominant Ti: Facts are important to Jean-Francois, but he values the logic of it more. He is put off when the military stops listening to his reports to rely on intuiting, but isn’t perturbed but having to step in and ask uncomfortable questions in order to find answers. Though he often acts based on his emotions, he tends to be rather detached, and often regrets his decisions the morning after. Yet somehow, he’s analytical and detached, even with Continue reading
Fi: Edith is deeply emotional, though reluctant to share her suffering with even the people who are closest to her. She often feels that no one appreciates her and that she is an outsider in her own home. She sometimes has a difficult time paying attention to other people’s feelings because she’s so zeroed in on her own problems. She acts according to the beliefs that seem most authentically right to her and doesn’t ever ask for permission before Continue reading
Si: Carson values tradition and doesn’t particularly like change. He’s reluctant to accept people who diverge from society’s norms, though he’s capable of doing so when he has to. He’s reluctant to talk about or confront his past, though it’s clear he remembers it well and thinks about it often. He’s got a sentimental side that shows through especially in his love for Mary and his comments after Sybil dies. Carson doesn’t like having surprises dropped in on him, but prefers forewarning. Continue reading

Dominant Ne: Gus is a possibility person. He loves symbolism and metaphor and frequently references such in his speech patterns. “You put the killing thing between your teeth…” This is partially what draws Hazel to him, because she’s definitely a symbolism person as well. Gus and Hazel spend loads of time exploring possibilities and reading beneath the surface of pretty much everything. They both drool over Hazel’s favourite Continue reading
