NAMES ( x & x ) - the etymology & history of first names.
ZODIAC ( x & x ) - there are 12 zodiac signs, & each sign has its own strengths & weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires & attitude towards life & people. astrology can give us a glimpse of a person’s basic characteristics, preferences, flaws & fears.
ALIGNMENT ( x ) - each alignment represents a broad range of personality types or personal philosophies, so two characters of the same alignment can still be quite different from each other. in addition, few people are completely consistent.
MBTI ( x & x ) - the 16 personality types were created by Isabel Myers & Katharine Briggs as a way to categorize an individual according to their preferred way of thinking & behaving. each personality type is designated with a four-letter code, like INFP or ESTJ, which is an acronym for the four key dimensions of personality.
TEMPERAMENTS ( x & x ) - the four temperaments are represented by four distinct groups of “traits” or tendencies. each cluster of traits produces a distinct manner of behavior that is different from the other groups.
ENNEAGRAM ( x & x ) - the Enneagram is a personality typing system that consists of nine different types. everyone is considered to be one single type, although one can have traits belonging to other ones.
THE NINE TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE ( x ) - one theory regarding the nature of intelligence comes from psychologist Gardner, who suggested that you could categorize smarts into different kinds of intelligence. his theory suggests that there is more to being intelligent than simply being proficient in languages or being good in math.
ARCHETYPES ( x ) - an archetype is a pattern of behaviors that, once discovered, helps you better understand yourself & others.
LABEL ( x ) & ( x ) & ( x ) - labels for your characters, along with a short, somewhat detailed description.
