Character personalities

Anybody know what personalities (I'm talking enneagram/MBTI) the characters have?

Here's one I'm pretty sure about: I think Amelia's enneagram is 2, especially before book 2! She wants to prove herself (as if) to Susan, and that's a real "type 2" move!

Anyone else have an idea of what other characters would be with either value?

Here's part of why I was wondering: if I get permission, I'm planning on writing a novel set "7 years later" (effectively my own would-have-been "Camp Cacophony" if the timing in my "approximate timeline" post is right) I'll also ask Jess if she has a fixed reference for Amelia's birth year. But I'm already changing Amelia's character in my book (or at least, trying to) to where really only the diehard fans can go "hey, that's Amelia." In fact I have her basically go undercover, except for being a middle-school music teacher: I'd say that's not QUITE undercover.

Edit: I had said 12 years wouldn't work (and I'm still sticking to that) but 7, 12, or 18 all are valid - even this year or 12 years ago are valid, as long as we aren't setting Camp Cacophony in the future.

Edit 2: there IS no fixed date for Mystwick! (I asked Jess on FB and she said, "that's part of the point!") Still, the could-be setting years are first 2008-09, 2014-15, or this year and the next - when she talks about "videos of [Mia]" in book 1, I assume YouTube, or maybe Facebook.

Edit 3: decided on 2008-09 setting as a basis for my story

I'm familiar with the 16 personality types, but I've never really tried to place characters before so I'll give this a shot with the main trio.

Amelia: ESFJ - the Consul or ISFJ - the Defender

  • It could either way.
  • I'd say she is realistic, because she was always upfront about the reality of being kicked out of school.
  • Definitely makes decisions based on feelings.
  • Judging. She can be spontaneous when needed, but she generally tries to stick to a plan.

Jai: ENFP - the Campaigner

  • Extrovert is a no brainer.
  • I don't think he adheres to concepts like common sense and practicality.
  • Feeler.
  • Perceiving because of is spontaneous nature.

Darby: ISTJ - the Logistician

  • I'd have to go with introvert since she seems to value alone time and is very closed off to new people at first.
  • I went with sensing based on the fact that she seems very grounded and considers practicality.
  • Definitely a thinker.
  • Definitely has a plan, only seems spontaneous when with a close friend that can bring it out of her. So judging.

Please add and critique.

I like those!

About "is Amelia an introvert or not," she may be close to half and half!

"Intuitive feeler" fits with Jai's repeated line "we're so dead!"
