SPIES and their MBTIs

...where Myers Briggs and Character Development intersect.

A Certain Type of Character  
Despite being a full-time author now, turning off the business-leadership part of my brain just isn’t possible, apparently. Having spent countless hours in training sessions at OKA to become credentialed in corporate performance coaching assessment tools like the MBTI, EQ-i, and SDI, I couldn't help but shape the fictional personalities through those lenses. Ultimately, this turned the Intersection characters into hidden case studies for the Myers-Briggs personality types, emotional intelligence attributes, and effective communication styles.
 
Those familiar with the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) may appreciate that the personality types of all major characters (and many minor players) in the Intersection series were developed with intention to ensure each of the sixteen MBTI types were represented. Each character's designated Type is reinforced by their thoughts and actions and, where characters behave counter to their Type, the storyline will often reveal how or why that dichotomous skill or attribute developed.
 
All Types of Resources
The ensemble of characters on the Type chart below are exclusively from Conflict of Intrigues: The Marylebone Intersection, book one in the Intersection Saga, but MBTI charts for each subsequent book will be available in the Intersection Saga site (see links below the chart).

For Type-interested readers, an MBTI focused book-club guide with group handouts are in development. An MBTI Character Study for practitioners and students is targeted to be released after book three.
