[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9312280, member: 4937"] Not only that, but the 4 axis of a Brigg-Meyer test are each describing something tangential to alignment. We could imagine each of the 16 Briggs-Meyer types as each of the 9 alignments. "My character is a NG-INTJ"? And again, since Brigg-Meyer only analyzes 4 axis of a personality, we could imagine a lot of variation in the personality of people within the Brigg-Meyer space some of which would independent spaces which would not map to any set of B-M spaces and some of which would be strongly correlated to one or more combinations of personality types. And of course, as a descriptor of personality B-M probably has even more short comings than alignment has as a descriptor of moral and ethical philosophy. We could make a number of valid criticisms of the approach, starting with one of the same criticisms we could make of alignment - it describes a person's self-conception and not who they actually are or how they are actually perceived by others. We would expect low Wisdom characters to broadly err when assigned self-description tasks because high Wisdom is required to self-perceive. And of course there are many other problems, including some that parallel questions about D&D's two axis system - are the axis really independent and not correlated? But any short-hand is probably going to have limitations when describing something so complex, but at the same time short-hand is very useful for communicating from the character creator to the one tasked with animating the character a framework for how the character is expected to think and behave. Or at least, I can't think of a better system than using some sort of shorthand if the goal is to communicate consistently and tersely. [/QUOTE]
