"Who symbolizes which archetype best?" has been done and redone to death, but how about, "Which two people best symbolize the relationship between two types which differ by only one letter?"

I've used mostly TV shows with a couple of real life examples here, and some of these type reads are revised from positions I've taken earlier, based on discussions here.

Anyway, feel free to fill in the holes or suggest more of ones I've already done...just want to get a feel for how each preference difference works in the context of types who are similar but not quite the same.

I've tried to choose people that are either characters in the same show or have served similar purposes in separate but related contexts.

ESTJ/ESFJ= Mma Makutsi/Mma Ramotswe, from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

INTJ/ISTJ= Ben Linus/Sayid Jarrah, from Lost

ESTJ/ISTJ= Andrew Foyle/Christopher Foyle, from Foyle's War

ESTJ/ESFJ= Hermione Granger/Mrs. Weasley, from the Harry Potter series

^ Cool, thanks. The only one of those I'm familiar with is HP, but I agree with STJ for Hermione, though I think she might possibly be ISTJ.

In any event, thanks for the input.

Is it allowed to re-use a character for the next comparison?

P.S.,

I think my Fe picked up a serious sign of respect/bonding from the fact that you would ask, though. Am I learning?
