Additional examples of Characteristics

Hi Terry, I am not sure if I am totally off here, but assuming you “only” want to use it for writing purpose for me it works without Ai. I have build my own mbti/enneagramm database with popular people and with people I know from my network. At the moment I have 350+ characters, not a big peer group, but always good to get a go.

The data in my database is just “hand picked” from many different sources in the internet.

The best I could find for building character relationships are mbtis cognitive function and relationship pairs: Relationship Pairs: what the hell does this mean? | Personality Cafe

Here is en example for a ESTJ (8,3,1,6) character

Basically it works like that: I start with my MC who I might setup as an ESTJ then I use the above table to get a start from there.

But this is just a starting point, sooner or later I run all different directions. The more I write I tend to forget the mbti/enneagramm stuff altogether.

In my experience learning character from the Enneagramm is the better choice than mbti. The Enneagramm does provide good tools to learn and understand how other people think. At least for me it gives me always a good start imagining my different characters

Here is my mapping I do with the same database: Dramatica / mbti / big 5 .. based on our discussion The Enneagram, MBTI and Dramatica - theory - Dramatica in 2015
