Knitting needles and Plasma cannons

I kept seeing all these friends on Facebook talking about the Meyers-Briggs personality test...which I had never actually taken.

I took some variation of it years ago, but I forgot what it said I was, so I decided, "What the heck! I'll take the Meyers-Briggs!"

I probably wouldn't have even bothered with it, but people kept posting things like this:


And I had no idea what the letters stood for. I didn't really want to ask somebody, but I kept seeing variations on the above chart. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Trek, you name it! Finally, when someone put up a list of animals that fit the various letter combinations, I decided to find out what these magical jumbles of letters meant and why the heck people were putting them everywhere.

Apparently I'm a deer.

I honestly don't know how to feel about that. Or if I care. Anyway, I came out classified as an "ISFJ", or "Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging". Also called "The Protector", which I thought was kind of cool. A lot of the description was stuff I'd known about myself already, but I got an unusual list of fictional characters who share my personality type...and I think I know why I always liked them now.

1 Rory, from Doctor Who
2 Steve Rogers, aka Captain America
3.  Doctor Watson. Not the bumbling comical one, the one from the books.
4 Neville Longbottom
5 Samwise Gamgee
6 Suki, from Avatar: the Last Airbender
7. The wonderful Miss Marple

And the one that really caught me off guard:

8.  this guy. 

Wait, giant robot what now? Optimus Prime?!

This is me, right about now.
