Hey all, I'm a big time fan and long time lurker on the forum. I wanted to share a piece of fanart I made, combining two of my biggest interests, DBZ and Myers Briggs! Below is the link the the page on my site and the image. A few of the typing may be a bit of a stretch, but I think it generally came out well. Let me know what you think. I also made some other ones for different franchises, but this is my favorite.
My job recently sent me through a Myers-Briggs class, where I found out I'm an INFP, which means I'm also Gohan!
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
Took the test because I wasn't sure and felt like there was a few I could fit in. But using that result, I got Dr. Gero. Prior to that I thought certain parts of Gohan, Android 16 and Trunks fit.

Same here, which also means I am married to Gaffer Tape.
You two will make a lovely couple.
You're also married to Ajay and Nitro. You'll all be one big happy family.

I'm a mix of Vegeta and Android 16. Well I already knew I was Vegeta, plenty of my friends tell me if I'm any DBZ character it's him, but I can see 16 also.
I am a freelance animator, check out my thangs. ART!

I'm surprised I got Piccolo. Not that I mind because Piccolo is awesome, but I wouldn't call myself "very confident". The descriptions for Trunks and Gohan seem to fit me better.
That said, after taking a moment to read up on INTJ some more, it does fit me pretty well.

Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.

Huh, this is the first I'd ever heard of this thing. Taking the quiz, it gave me ISFP, so apparently I'm...Android 16? ._o Well that's unexpected. The description kinda sorta fits I guess...I'm not very big on nature though.

If I remember right, my results on these tests always end up fluctuating between INFP and ENFP depending on when I took the test. So I guess I'm that hypothetical Goku/Gohan fusion that never showed up.
I got Trunks as well... I would say I'm more like Gohan though, Trunks is a bit more narrow minded than me. That description fits me in some ways, but there is a lot more to me than that and I can't say I always finish things! In fact I rarely finish things!!!
Not to be a buzz kill or anything like that, but, the Myers Briggs Chart has come under a lot of criticism from the Psychology community, mainly, that the descriptions of the personalities are too easily generalized to be able to fit whoever takes it (for example, "quiet" is used as a descriptor for at least six of the personality types included in this test), and because the results of the test aren't totally consistent each time you take it (which some people have already run into in this thread)...
Like I said, I don't wish to be a buzz kill, but, as a Psychology major, I'm just reporting what I've heard. So...sorry...
