Did the Myers Briggs test since apparently it's a Miza-fad at the moment. I've taken the test a couple times a year since I was about 16 years old, just cause I find it interesting to note minor changes. With one or two exceptions, I have always been an
INFJ, which I would say is a pretty fair assessment. I'd never thought to do this with a character though, so Ros went ahead and took the test himself. I had expected him to be
ENTP off the top of my head, but he ended up being an
ENTJ. So that was interesting.
The difference lies in the last letter. P is perceiving, while J is judging. Practically, the difference that this amounts to is whether or not you deal with things internally or externally. An ENTP will tend to sort things out inwardly and be, as their portrait page describes, 'idea people'. Whereas an ENTJ will tend to be good with in-the-moment decisions and will generally be more charismatic and geared toward leadership. The two are described with epithets- ENTP is 'The Visionary' and ENTJ is 'The Executive'. Honestly I think I can see both in Ros to varying degrees. I would contend however that my perception of him has shifted since his creation. At the outset my focus on him was more built around his unique mentality and morality, which likely influenced me toward seeing him as a visionary. Whereas now that I am actually on the ground plotting and getting into trouble with him, I see that, although he is shaped by his code, he defines himself with his actions- which, I guess kind of ironically, is exactly how he would want things to be. Roscoe is a man who has done a lot of soul searching and for the moment is set in how he feels about the world. He's been through a lot since he left Sunberth and has been thrown into the frying pan in Kenash, so we are seeing him move from a season of life where he was dealing with his hurt and recovering from it, to a season where action is required of him, and where he will be truly tested and forged into the man he is to become.
