What is the personality type of Martel? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Martel from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and what is the personality traits.
Martel personality type is ISFP, and she's written some things about MBTI and the Myers Briggs:
But I also think that the Myers Briggs has a lot of validity, the MBTI makes the same mistakes, and both of them are used by people too stupid to realize it (or even care).
I believe she's referring specifically to the Myers Briggs' assertion that people with ISTJ personalities are cold, methodical, and conservative, and that they're the most common type. This is biologically inaccurate; while there is a correlation between high levels of extroversion and introversion and the dominant function (which is introverted in ISTJ), it's not always true that high extroversion means high introversion (although it does seem to be the case when it comes to ESTJ). ISTJs are certainly not the most common type, but they're not uncommon either.
Now, when it comes to the MBTI, the Myers Briggs is just wrong. First of all, there are no "cold" or "methodical" types—no matter what you think of MBTI, the fact is that the MBTI is based on Jungian theory.
