Which Wynter Wild character are you?

Ever wondered which character from the Wynter Wild series is the most like you? Maybe you already have a good idea. I used 16personalities.com to find the personality types of the main and secondary characters, and if you take the free test (no account necessary) to get your type you can look up which character matches you.

The test gives a similiar result to the Myers-Briggs 16 personality types – four letters relating to your personality. Of course we are all on a sliding scale for each facet – this just labels your preference:

Introvert / Extrovert (I / E): relates to how you mind relates to your environment – either introspective and reserved (I), or engaging and taking the initiative (E).

iNtuitive / obServant (N / S): relates to your energy when gathering information – relying either on imagining the past and future potential of what you see (N), or on observable facts and more straightforward outcomes (S).

Thinking / Feeling (T / F): relates to your nature when making decisions – valuing either rationality (T) or emotions (F).

Judging / Prospecting (J / P): relates to your tactics when planning and dealing options – prefering either certainty, clarity, and closure (J) or spontaneity, flexibility, and possibilities (P).

The test also gives a fifth letter (Assertive / Turbulent or A / T broadly meaning confident vs. worrisome) which I have not included for my Wynter Wild characters. So just use those first four letters to get your type. When you have your type, read on to find your matching character from the books.

ENTP: Debater

Because he is so unique and I didn’t have the energy to write more than one character with this personality type, the only Debater (also called the Visionary) in the books is:

Jesse Fairn

Frequency in population: rare

Biggest fear: Being controlled

Biggest weakness: Insensitive

Summary:

You are creative, resourceful, and intellectual with a broad range of skills and hobbies. You are friendly, witty, and charming, but also outspoken and argumentative – whether to win an argument or just for fun! You understand abstract concepts, explore problems from multiple angles, and use logic to find solutions.

New projects excite you so much that you tend to ignore the more routine aspects of life, as well as break every rule and avoid long-term plans. While you’re full of amazing original ideas, you may lack the practical skills and patience to complete a project because you’re easily distractible.

You are unrelentingly honest, and intolerant of those who can’t back up their ideas with facts. This disregard for others’ feelings can come across as narcissistic and lead to burned bridges.

ISTP: Virtuoso

Also called the Mechanic or the Craftsman. Characters in the books who match this personality type are:

Harry Fairn – father of the Fairn brothers

Joey Clifton – tattoo artist, Beck’s older brother

Frequency in population: quite rare (but common in males)

Greatest fear: Physical helplessness

Greatest weakness: Rude

Summary:

You are immensely curious about the world around you, and love using your hands to build and create. You are seen as enigmatic because, while friendly and truthful and unorthodox, you are very private and independent.

You have some trouble with the complexity of human emotions, and can get yourself into trouble by being a little too impulsive with an inappropriate joke or an unpredictable change of plans. Or you may not fully understand deception or malice directed your way. You much prefer action and may be attracted to extreme sports.

You are optimistic and energetic, rarely stressed, great in a crisis, and always have a practical project on the go. Your approach to problem solving is rational and analytical – you love troubleshooting and can fix anything!

Greatest fear: Losing control

Greatest weakness: Impatient

You enjoy taking risks and live a face-paced lifestyle, focused on immediate results. You figure everything out on the fly rather than having goals or making plans. Long explanations and rules and regulations make you impatient. You are constantly looking for novel experiences, otherwise you become bored and restless.

Theory and impersonal analysis don’t interest you at all. You’re down-to-earth and practical, but may neglect mundane or repetitive tasks, such as financial planning, because you’re too busy enjoying life and possibly living beyond your means. Others may be able to persuade you to do dumb things…

You dive headfirst into relationships but they may burn out quickly when you get bored. Your friends find you truthful, open, generous, and exciting as you search for novel activities that stimulate all the senses. Your contagious enthusiasm for life takes everyone along for the ride!
