I'm writing a (weird) story and I can't tell if one of the characters is a 7w8 or 1w9 (although I am definitely sure he's INFP). His name is Yohan, an elven prince who leaves his kingdom after the brutal death of his younger brother. Leaving his right to the throne behind him, he enters a prestigious academy with a new name in hopes of training to become a skilled swordsman and paladin (although he also ends up training as a bard because he has a freak of nature voice and got in on a singing scholarship). his physical appearence is that of a 10 year old noy (although he's actually a little older. elves age more slowly). next, he enters the school's fencing club (which is actually more like a martial arts and weapons club than what we think of as fencing) and this is where the story begins (although he isn't the main character. the story's main character is a reckless ENFJ 2w1 Sx/So whom Yohan befriends along with an ENTP and an ISTJ. he's the central character in the sequel though)
anway, I can't determine is he's a 7w8 or a 1w9
7w8
- he's extremely 1-ish under stress and could appear like a 1 simply because this is most of the first book (he does mean business after all. most people looking for revenge aren't exactly spiritually balanced)
- even under stress. he's still fairly emotionally balanced and able to stay calm
- even if being INFP makes it more subtle, his 8 side is rather apparent. he's not quite as belligerent as more extroverted 8s and w8s, but he's never really submissive
- he has a sort of subtle "glamorousness" to him that is very 7.
- he has sophisticated tastes with several sings such as music and gourmet food (the other characters make fun of his for his tea fetish)
1w9
- his powers of concentration are ridiculous for a 10 year old INFP
- he speaks with a lot of command and authority
- he's extremely mature for his age (the other 3 central characters are 15-18)
- his personality is very noble and heroic
- later, it's discovered he is also the descendant of an ancient hero and commands an army of angels
- he was based largely off of Joan of Arc
- he has a powerful soprano voice that is as powerful as a grown woman (much like Joan Sutherland in her prime actually, but his speaking voice still sounds like a boy. the book explains this strange phenomenon, but it's kinda complicated)
as a bard, his spell songs are very dramatic and wagner-esque and reflect his personality well
- he's often very formal and polite, especially if under pressure (he opens up a little more when he can relax)
- he shares more of the weaknesses of a 1 than a 7.
- his philosophy is much like saito from rurouni kenshin. if you cross his values, he will kill you immediately
PS: I'm just starting with this and I'm in the process of laying out the plot, so for now it probably sounds kinda cheesy (sorry if you think so)
