ESTP (8w7)
Mad Sweeney personality type is ESTP, so the plot device of removing the boss’s leg is an excellent choice for this character.
The way that this works is that the main character – who has no clue what is going on – is forced to do things that he would never do on his own. The plot has a strong sense of external control, and the manipulation of others to get them to do things they wouldn’t normally do.
A great example of this is an old episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The main character – Buffy – is put in a situation where she must do something horrible. She does not want to do this, but she has to.
She is told that if she doesn’t, bad things are going to happen. She doesn’t know what those bad things are, but she knows that if she doesn’t do this, they will happen.
This plot device really highlights the ESTP’s fierce independence and will to act on their own judgement. ESTPs use this plot device because they are so independent and will not rely on others.
