Instinctual Variants - Blog Posts

Hello there!

I'm curious about those four personality classifications in your bio after the mbti and enneagram 🧐 what kind of tests are they? Also yay a fellow leo!! 🦁

Hiya!

1-3-5 is Tritype, sx/sp is Instinctual Varient, ILI is Socionics, IT(N) is Classic Jungian!

Hope this helped ::3

Going forward on this blog I would like to answer questions related to personality systems. Anyone is welcome to submit any questions regarding this topic and I will answer them. I will also begin posting explanations of various topics such as the cognitive functions, enneagram motivations, instinctual variants, and other things in various systems, in addition to typing fictional characters. I will also be typing some celebrities at some point. Requests of characters for me to type are also welcome. I also have a new blog focusing exclusively on attitudinal psyche for those of you who are interested. (attitudinalpsyche Attitudinal Psyche Explained is the blog) Also, I am not certain how much I will be posting since this is my first semester of college back on campus, but I will try to post a few times a month.

Hope is tough and protective over her loved ones. She will do anything for the ones she loves, including put other people at risk if someone she cares about is in danger, like when she does a dangerous spell with Lizzie’s help in order to get Landon out of the prison world. Hope will even sacrifice herself for the good of those she loves, like when she goes into the Malivore pit in the Season 1 finale of Legacies.

She feels she belongs with other Supernaturals and the school means a lot to her.
