I like how you use the character's purpose in the story to help determine their character. Thanks for setting this topic.

Sometimes they grow and change a lot--sometimes they're more static.

I like you start with the character's purpose in the story and then try to determine their personality type.BeverleyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430018506292448221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-5669960677600440562020-07-25T21:26:57.012-04:002020-07-25T21:26:57.012-04:00Interesting, Rhobin.

Although psychology is one of the professions I have retired from, I never do this kind of explicit personality analysis of characters, either when reading or writing.

I know what you mean about the author's VP impinging. It takes enormous care to excise it - and I don't think we ever do entirely.
