Character Development Tip - Myers Brigg Test
Today was a success, from what I perceive. We presented our project and reviewed the overall story arc with the entire class (the Beat Sheet, in other words), and it seemed to be moving to my fellow CMI peers, so I am very excited. To top it off, our fellow artist, Djimitry, was able to finish the Fire Dragon, and he has gotten close to perfecting the Earth Dragon.
At this point, there is one last change that remains for the Beat Sheet: The Smallest Girl's transformation story. Although it is clear that the Tribe itself goes through a major change, and one of the Dragon's certainly goes through a major change, the Smallest Girl's inner struggles are not as clear.
As an amateur novelist, I have picked up a tip for character development: run them through a Myers Brigg test. Take a Myers Brigg test in a manner in which you would answer on behalf of your character, as if you were them. When you get the profile type back, you can study over it and hopefully find out details about your character that you didn't realize were there.
So what personality type is the Smallest Girl? She's an ENFP: The Idealist, the Champion.
