Took the quiz and Lydia is apparently.. *drum rolls*

INFP

I read, seems accurate to me? :)

http://davenevins.com/personalities/types/infp.htm

Edit: Took it for myself as well and I too, am an INFP type, just more strongly so. (higher percentages and whatnot)

I don't know much about personality types, truthfully. Are I and E types supposed to be drawn more towards one another, or towards themselves. Is sticking with Is and Es sticking with Es?

Haha, me personally? A lot of Es drive me nuts. Just wanna take a frying pan and beat them like "Simmer down!!"

As far as Lydia being drawn to Erin.. I feel they connect better when Erin isn't being an "E" at the moment. When she's being more.. I dunno. Grounded. When she's playing the part of 'wild child', that's not what draws Lydia in. That tends to make her shy away actually. Or just smile and nod politely.

What about Harry and Archie? What draws Harry to Archie? ;)

So going to take this thing with other characters and NPCs now...

LOL! The short answer? Something purely undefinable.

The long answer encompasses a lot of history. When they're doing good, they're good for each other -- Harry (in the more recent past) was the stable, sensible one who always stood silent guardian over the more lively, sometimes instable, sometimes flighty Archie. On the other hand, Archie was one of the only people die-hard determined to get Harry to ease up, have some fun, learn to relax and at least try to be more open. Their dynamic's changed over the years (sometimes good, sometimes bad) and is vastly different at the moment (in a lot of better ways, though both are dealing with a lot of stuff), but ultimately, they just sort of balance one another's natures out.

I could probably spend hours explaining how their friendship's evolved (in good ways and bad ones), but I'll just say that they balance. And at their best, they're what every good friendship should strive for.

Nah, I love a good discussion, and I don't mind the OOC comment spam. Heck, at least it's something interesting and character related.

As to love matches:
http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFJ_rel.html

I think that set of pages has the matches for every type. According to them, I's and E's are well-matched, though, which I can see. If you have two introverts, talking might be hard without them learning to communicate to each other. Whereas an I, mixed with an E, has someone who starts the ball rolling.

Sirry, I'm certain, was an E. But she couldn't commit to save her life, which drove Harry (who thrives on a stable relationship, something he can count on) bonkers. Lil seemed more borderline I/Eish -- she was more outspoken about her feelings than Harry, but not so much that she overrode him. But Lil was stable (at least until she vanished, came back for two nights, then vanished again without so much as a note) and they did well for years. She was secure enough in herself earlier on that she could both step up and protect him (something he genuinely needs sometimes, and he really does need someone who'll do it without him asking because he won't ask), but also not to get all offended when he protected her. It was a good match, but just... went away.

So... your turn. What kind of mate d'you think would be ideal for Lydia?

Loyal, loving, genuine and protective without being overbearing, yes. Someone who can share the weight and understands the ideas of both give and take.

Anyone else care to try and get into Renne's nutty little mixed-up head?

Have done so many times with you. :-P

Generally speaking, by the time I think I have Harry figured out, he throws me for a loop and goes the other way. Or he just changes over time; now, he isn't the same man he was before the Ides. Doesn't even quite know who he is himself yet. But, that's the fun of it.

Erin had a tie in one of her catagories, so the bot did the tiebreaker randomly. She's either introverted or extroverted. I think that's about true for her. She has the one personality that is very loud and outgoing(and usually she's drinking) or her other personality that's very reserved, doesn't share much about herself and likes to spend large amounts of time alone.

She's usualy the extrovert in the inn, becuase, well, she's drinking. But she spends a lot of time locked up in her house, or walking, or in the upstairs room at the shop knitting that no one knows about. I like to think Erin's struggle is between her two selves and one day she'll integrate one way or another. She's spent a lot of time talking to Jordan about it, and how worried it makes her.

In the end, though, I have no idea which way she's going to go.

Maybe that explains it. Though, that would totally blow my theory that the E's and the I's here are innately drawn to one another. Maybe it's just the boys who ended up that way.

Though, I can see where Erin would run kind of in the middle. Usually, though, I only see her wildchild side, given that it's what everyone comments on here. I wonder, D... how do you think she would be if she matured into one or the other more decisively? Or both? What would she be like as more of an E or more of an I?

It sounds almost like at this age that Erin doesn't have all that many ways she can go. Kind of a shame, really; the balance she has going now, going by what you say, is almost like a house of cards and eventually something's gotta give.

Archie used to be a lot like that, though I think probably for many different reasons. Though, he's thirty-two now and is making a huge effort to change his life before he ends up bashing himself up against something that he won't be able to climb back up from. But he used to be all cheer and optimism on the outside and self-deprecation and heartbreak on the inside, until I think (his mun knowing him better than I do, so this is all half speculation and all my impressions) he was so torn by it that he just started running. If not physically, then emotionally.

Though, if Archie (having lived the life he did and having faced some pretty grim stuff) can turn himself around, then there's certainly hope for Erin. Maybe just as she gets older she'll start to figure things out; makes me wish, though, that there were more people available to help with the mental health aspects of things. I play a shrink, but he's only just getting back into the practice and not entirely ready to rejoin the profession full time.

Uh.. I dunno. The only thing that really pops out in my head is... "No.".

I don't really need a quiz to tell me how Lydia would rather be. And I feel this is just.. horribly innaccurate.

She'd like to be a little more outgoing, a little less private, and able to open up to people easier. More likable in general I suppose, but that's something most share I think.

This was taken at an ungodly hours last night/this morning after futile attempts at sleep. Figured I'd give it a shot even with Renne's mind gone beyond batty.

Anyone can feel free to do the tarot thing and post here. Or any neat quizzes for your charries, for that matter.

Now for the astrology.

Harold's birthdate is 'canon', though I never bothered looking up what sign he was under until years later. But he falls at the tail-end of Scorpio's descending.

Sun sign:
Scorpio
Moon sign:
Leo

Archie's is likewise canonish; he falls in Gemini ascending, closer to its peak:

Sun sign:
Gemini
Moon sign:
Aries

I don't know any of the others offhand. So, what's your character's 'sign'? Do you think it's accurate? I'd say that some of the traits are close, and some of them are off. Afterall, you can't boil people down to their astrological sign, though it's still need to ponder it out.

You are the Star card. The Star is the light of hope. Shining in the night, sending light into darkness, the stars provide direction to sailors and are a field on which to dream. Humanity used to look up at the sky and desire to be there, to find out what it all meant, and now we have been a distance into space and have elementary ideas of the makeup of all the different stars. This kind of achievement adds further fuel to our hopes. The eternal, slow-moving stars that will be long shining past the end of our own existence provide hope of immortality, and the vast space they suggest and the very mystery they hold provide us with excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.

Take this quiz!


Still don't know if it suits her to the T.. but not too bad.

You are the Sun card. The light of the Sun reveals all. The Sun is joyful and bright, without fear or reservation. The childish nature of the Sun allows you to play and feel free. Exploration can truly take place in the light of day when nothing is hidden. The Sun's rays fill you with energy so that you may live life to its fullest, milking pleasure out of each day. Such joy and energy can bring wealth and physical pleasure. To shine in the light of day is to have confidence, to soak up its rays is to feel the freedom of a child.

That's.. kinda hilarious actually. :D I suppose it isn't.

Under the right circumstances? Definitely. I just think the timing of it is funny. Today's events coupled with that description...

Ah, indeed this is true.

Usually, I would think Lydia as that.. just not today, hehe.

The sun and the moon.. opposites that cannot co-exist. :O

Hehe.

It was a valiant effort though.

http://images.quizilla.com/K/Koshari/1072669473_otTheDevil.jpg
You are the Devil card. The Devil is based on the figure Pan, Lord of the Dance. The earthy physicality of the devil breeds lust. The devil's call to return to primal instincts often creates conflict in a society in which many of these instincts must be kept under control. Challenges posed by our physical bodies can be overcome by strength in the mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Pan is also a symbol of enjoyment and rules our material creativity. The devil knows physical pleasure and how to manipulate the physical world. Material creativity finds its output in such things as dance, pottery, gardening, and sex. The self-actualized person is able to accept the sensuality and usefulness of the devil's gifts while remaining in control of any darker urges. Image from The Stone Tarot deck.



...Heh. Rather interesting for 'Nathan to be that.

The moon is in fact very little without the sun.

You burn, she shines.

:P

Risen from the maidens tide
Forgotten relic once upon a time

Hoisted on twisted cable coils
The past returns, for all unfoiled

Darkness looms its lowly head
The future wakes with oceans dead.

I saw it and didn't even think to take it OOCly, instead, taking it ICly. Heh. Oh well. (Got those same results too)

63/100 For Lydia.

Yeah, I'm behind, but I like this quiz.

You are the Lovers card. The Lovers card is about union. Each of us carries in our DNA the ability to be the opposite of what we think we are. Often our romantic attachments grow out of awe and respect as we see in another the characteristics we repress in ourselves. Society often presses us into molds of what it thinks masculinity and femininity should be. As a result, many of us associate with our gender certain positive characteristics and call others negative, when if these same qualities were held by a person of the opposite sex, our attitude towards them would be reversed. Getting in touch with our inner animus and anima, (Jung's terms for our inner male and female), allows us to see the whole of our personalities in a positive and constructive light. When you draw The Lovers card in a reading, you are working with balancing these forces. Depending on where the card is, you have either achieved balance or need to. The Lovers could indicate a romantic or even a platonic relationship. Ask yourself is this is a positive relationship that contributes to your growth as a complete human being, or if it fills an emotional craving within you that is actually detrimental to your personal growth.

You are the Temperance card. Temperance is the blending of elements to produce stability. We say that someone is temperate when they are pleasant and easy going. Temperance achieves balance through merging, so a temperate person is one who feels whole. Creative genius is often found in the ability to unite two previously unconnected ideas. Aleister Crowley considers this one of the most important facets of this card and names the card Art. He refers to a generation of a third element out of two previously existing elements. In the same way, the artist has the ability to create a painting from canvas and some tubes of coloured paint. The temperate person is also inclined to think about philosophy. Temperance leads to a calm and rational logic but can also look beyond everyday knowledge for the truth.
