GreyCrow Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hello guys Just wanted to throw out a fun topic/debate ! Let's try to pinpoint the Primarch's Myers Briggs Type (more information here : http://www.slate.fr/sites/default/files/photos/MyersBriggsTypes(2).png ) I'll update the thread as you post ideas The condition : trying to justify throw the 4 characteristics how they fit with the character ! The floor is yours ! The Types : Ferrus Mannus - ISTJ : The Logistician Sanguinius - ENFJ : The Protagonist Roboute Guilliman - ENTJ : The Commander Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Additionally, one can take the Myers Briggs Type test here: http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test RP As your Primarch of choice and lets see if it matches up :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Well I tried Slip's one for Ferrus, and from how I view him I got "LOGISTICIAN (ISTJ-A)". Seems like it'd fit, cold vicious logic aiming to reside over emotion. Right up until you get decapitated.

Bryan Blaire Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Problem here is that you don't assign personality types, you have to actually take the assessment for yourself. It is absolutely invalid to attempt to assign a type as it is a misrepresentation of what the MBTI even tries to do. You also don't justify any results of an MBTI. Until someone can get the Primarchs to actually take a valid MBTI assessment, things like this are a waste at best and a misuse of the psychology research that went into it at worst.

GreyCrow Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's for fun Bryan Blaire, and at best we're going to take the closest guess as the personnality type. It's not too hard to roughly assess on the 4 metrics what are the dominant traits for the Primarchs. So, of course everything is going to be a waste. You're definitely going too far by calling this a misuse however. Don't be such an Imperial Fist about it ! :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think there were two 30k specific testers already made on the interwebz :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 For real. If you don't want to partake in it, you don't have to. It's just for fun. I did it for Sanguinius, and I got Protagonist: ENFJ-A I would say it is very accurate! http://www.16personalities.com/enfj-personality Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

depthcharge12 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I got the debater, so I need to figure out the correlated Primarch. Edit: I think there should be a Primarch astrological sign test :) I remember the Emps always saying that Horus' sign was Sagittarius.

Slips Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I personally got the Mediator on my own test (INFP). I have literally no idea how this led me to becoming an Imperial Fists because, as far as I can tell, it would be better suited for Sallies or Blood Angels. Whereas I view Dorn as being either: Logician, Architect or Defender :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCrow Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Being an ENTP (debater) IRL, I'm not sure Guilliman would fit :p He is way too structured for that ! I would definitely qualify Guilliman as either an ESTJ or ENTJ. Can't really determine which for the moment ! Update the OP for Sanguinius.

depthcharge12 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Guilliman?Holy Spiritual Liege batman!!!I had ENTP on the little box chart. I actually think I'm more like Horus - I'm very sociable and usually the grease on the axels, but I'm always in control and have the dominant, arrogant side of me behind a facade.

I really like where you're going with with ENTP and Horus. I don't know much about the Primarch from not having read much about him, but the fact that he promotes overwhelming force where the foe is the weakest kinds of fit that "deconstructing" aspect of the ENTP's personnality. Intp-t logician not sure what that means but I'm assuming it fits with the white scars You can check it here : http://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality After reading it, it really feels like Magnus too.

1ncarnadine Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I ran the test as "Mortarion" and got ISTJ-A (Logistician). Some questions don't apply so much for this kind of thing but I had a good chuckle when answering "You go out of your way to find environmentally friendly brands when shopping." ;) Apparently I actually test as an INTJ (architect) though.

Sircyn Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm very much an ENTJ and Guilliman is definitely one too! I'm sure some thought must have been applied in this direction from the writers. If there is a Primarch for every type, then every one will find at least one that appeals to them. Unless you're an INFP, how do you people even get a model built? Yet alone painted and actually arrange a social engagement to play? Id be curious to see what personality types show up amongst the player base too!

Canadian_F_H Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I've been an enfp for years... Used to test as an intj at one point... Yea my personality changed a lot from 20 to 30...

Lol Apparently, these and both age 50 are the main years where the Myers Briggs Type can change. Personal experiences and stuff ! I ran the test as "Mortarion" and got ISTJ-A (Logistician). Some questions don't apply so much for this kind of thing but I had a good chuckle when answering "You go out of your way to find environmentally friendly brands when shopping." Apparently I actually test as an INTJ (architect) though. Haha Mortarion environmentally friendly :D I'm very much an ENTJ and Guilliman is definitely one too!

Id be curious to see what personality types show up amongst the player base too! ENTJ does seem to fit it, but ENTP could be argued somehow after thinking about it, I guess you guys will settle on that.

Fire Golem Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I got INFP (Mediator) for me, I don't really know which Primarchs it works for, I'm kinda thinking Sanguinius? Any of the others? I don't really know what the others are to compare haha. It's a cool test though, interesting write up at the end, and most of it is very accurate.

Ekim_Trub Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I test as an ESTJ (the guardian), and think my choice of Legion, the Raven Guard, is well suited as we are both driven by duty & loyalty and place a high value on our beliefs and work ethic. It's all about getting the job done. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314160-primarchs-and-myers-briggs-types/#findComment-4181493 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xin Ceithan Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 As a clinical psychiatrist, I really need to point out the error in assigning personality traits from a system developed for baseline humans to posthuman beings. Apples and Oranges and all that! As a hobbyist - go knock yourself out! On a sidenote: The Emperor - scours the Galaxy for his rational, secular Imperial Truth. Slaps Magnus for sorcery. AND GIVES FETHING ASTROLOGY SIGNS TO HIS PRIMARCHS ?! And you ask why this thing blows up in his face?

Sircyn Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I think Roboute has the J as efficiency and achieving objectives are at the core of his being. The ENTP has trouble following through with their good ideas and challenge of the status quo. Where I think Guillimans empire is a testament to him being more of a closer. Plus his whole difficulty with dealing with emotion, both his own and others. Though that seems to be a common trait amongst his superhuman brothers regardless haha! Sanguinius as ENFJ? INFP's are chronically clumsy, disorganised and find social interaction draining (my lady friend is one, so is a source of eternal wonder and frustration). I think Sanguinius as the charismatic leader who cares for his legion seems to fit that type.

Fire Golem Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 As an INFP, chronically clumsy, disorganised and find social interaction draining pretty much sums me up! Take clumsy out and it sounds a little bit like the Khan haha.
