Originally posted by zoid: Well, I'm a 5, 'Observer', according to the test. The descriptions on the site seem to fairly accurately describe my behaviors as well. Please note that I have always identified most closely with River (note my avatar), because I recognize in her a certain dissociation, a distance, from the immediate world and its inhabitants; while simultaneously being keenly aware of crucial minutiae that her fellows do not recognize, and which help her make cognitive leaps (as when she senses the fire in OoG).

I often say that people seem oblivious to obvious cues in the environment and others' behavior, and that I don't know how anybody could miss them. In my work, I am frequently able to predict what my next series of control instructions will be, how pilots will respond to them, and how much assistance a pilot will need to taxi/fly the pattern/exit a runway -- 10 to fifteen minutes before any of this transpires -- to the amazement (and occasionally, apprehension) of my coworkers. I always chuckle and say, "I'm not psychic, just observant."

So, I think River is definitely a 5, and I can very easily see River saying "I'm not psychic, just observant", regardless that Joss decided to give her mystical powers. That was my biggest disappointment in her character's development. I felt that she could just as easily be explained without resorting to the supernatural...





Observantly,

P.S. I'm also a Meyers-Briggs eNTP... γνῶθι σεαυτόν
