[Spoilers] NPCs in MBTI

Buttercheese

@SmilingSword made a topic two years ago about seeing which of the companions you are based on the Meyer-Briggs-Type-Indicator (short: MBTI), which is a pseudo-psychoanalytical personality test. It holds little weight in actual science, but it can be used as a fun and useful tool in character analysis and definition.

For more information on the seperate types, please check this website and this video by Extra Credits:

I started to do some digging online and noticed that people seem to have vastly different opinions on what character has which type, so I thought maybe we could brainstorm a new and hopefully more accurate list together.
Please note that this list is about in which category a charcter fits the most. Even though some characters can fit into more than one category and only few characters 100% fit in any category.
See these types as tin foil a character can be wrapped in, not a tupperware box they need to be squezed in.
Also, please take note that the typing has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's alignment. A lawful good and a chaotic evil character can both fit into the same personality category.

Also, I wanna point out a common mistake people make with these. I and E do not stand for introverted and extroverted. They stand for intraversion and extroversion and have little to do with how shy or outgoing a person is. A person can be intraverted and still have a lot of social contacts and be confident around others. I think you can best explain it as how "accessible" someone is, how comfortable they feel with sharing their inner workings or deeper personal thoughts and feelings, if you wish. I find it a bit hard to explain, but I promise it makes sense :V

Alright, I finally finished sorting the first draft.
It would be really cool if you guys could share your opinions on the current list with me,
I mainly went with the strenghts and weaknesses here to categorize everyone.

Some things I noticed I find worth pointing out:
- Baeloth the Entertainer indeed
- Tiax and Minsc don't really primarily fit in anywhere, because their personalities are not facetted enough.
- Eldoth and Skie are more alike than anyone would initially suspect. He is kind of a smarter, more experienced version of her (also a jerkier one :V).
- Literally all the antagonists are ENTJ for the most part (Bodhi at least somewhat). I mean, the classic guys, sure, but even Caelar fits the bill???
- Dynaheir would have made for an excelent villain. If she hadn't died in between games, she would have made for a better, less extremist Balthazar. Imagine.
