Thirty Day Character Challenge: Feanor by eris_of_imladris

Prompt 20

Prompt 20: Who Are You? Using what you've learned about your character, take a Myers-Briggs type personality test for your character. What do you learn about the person? What surprises you?

According to my test, Fëanor is an INTP, the Logician, which is described as “innovative inventors with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.” Some highlights of this type are:

• Rare personality type and likes that; always wanting to be creative and innovative and entirely unique
• Skilled at finding patterns
• Enthusiastic to discover new things
• Unceasing thought process; brain bursting with ideas that may make little or no sense to others when explained in the random fashion in which they are imagined
• Fear of failure (I do headcanon this, if only because I feel like a great portion of his motivation comes from wanting to make his father proud, and prove himself as the “best” son/member of the family. This is not generally expressed as frightful behavior, but rather, as intensity in other behaviors, like trying too hard to be great at things.)
• Insensitive (He can be sensitive, but he definitely chooses when to ignore this skill)
• Condescending
• In romantic relationships, very dedicated and love sharing their world with others, but don’t always necessarily understand a partner’s emotions
• As a parent, incredibly devoted, and urging the child to follow their own interests to the best of their ability
• At work, solitary, eccentric, and independent

I’m also adding a few weaknesses from ISTP:

• Stubborn
• Easily bored
• Risky behavior
