Any Old Actress

//The DBZ Temperament Sorter

The DBZ Temperament Sorter, a sort of personality test which is loosely based upon the Myers-Briggs theory of temperament and character types. I intended Gokou to represent the archetypal Artisan (SP), Trunks the Guardian (SJ), Vegeta the Idealist (NF), and Piccolo the Rational (NT). But in the Myers-Briggs personality system there are 4 types for every 1 temperament (16 total types), so Gokou is only one of four kinds of Artisan, Trunks one kind of Guardian, etc. . There are variations in extraversion, thinking or feeling, and percieving or judging that can create radical differences in two persons of the same temperament but of different types. So, it's more than a little innaccurate to use one individual to represent an entire temperament. Creating a DBZ version of all 16 types was quite beyond my grasp though, and so this test reflects the individual characters, their personalities, histories, and actions with some disregard to archetypal guidelines. So, if your percentage indicates that you are most like Gokou, then you might be one of 4 Artisan types, but mostly you're just like Gokou.

For most accurate results complete all questions. It's usually best to go with your first response, as it will be your most honest and unbiased answer. Remember to answer all questions as you really have behaved (not that any of us actually live in the DB universe), and not the way you'd like to see yourself. Don't even try to cheat because this test has been scientifically developed and carefully proofed. There's no way to predict results or to obtain a certain score. After you've done hit "score" to find out which character you're most like, or "reset" to clear the test and start again.
