For those of you who have read the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, what do you think these characters should be typed as?

Jonas
The Giver
Asher
Fiona
Jonas's Mom
Jonas's Dad
Lily

Here are my guesses, but you can contribute your own ideas.

Jonas- ENFx

The Giver - xNFx. When I picture the ability to see beyond, I picture iNtuition.

Asher - ESxP. Loud, spontaneous, doesn't like others getting in his way, likes attention .

Fiona - xSFx. Warm-hearted, sweet, probably a sensing feeler.

Mom - ISTJ

Dad - ISFx? Very kind and loving, quiet.

Lily - ESTJ? Kinda hard to tell because she's just a little kid, but she seems to speak her mind and value justice and hard work.

This is my favorite YA novel ever, but it's been a very long time since I've read it.

I'm tentatively guessing:
Jonas - xNFP
The Giver - xNFJ

I just re-read this one, it's one of my favorites!

Jonas- INFP, possibly ENFP, but the way he experiences and comprehends the memories is very Fi - Si

The Giver - XNFJ At first I thought INFJ, but now I think he's more ENFJ

Asher - ESXP. Leaning toward ESFP

Fiona - ISFJ

Mom - ISTJ

Dad - ISFJ

Lily - I thought she seemed kind of like an ENFP, but if not that, then definitely ESTJ.

Rosemary - INFJ?

I saw the film adaptation, which is incredibly bland. It is the book much better?

Yeah. I didn't even bother to see the movie, I sort of knew they'd mess something up :(.

Way way better. They took a beautiful story and tried too hard to focus on building and breaking the dystopian society and making it in line with current events. For example, in the movie Asher gets the job of "Drone Pilot", in the book, "Director of Recreation"...

Ooh this is a hard one because they are all affected by emotional suppression... Some blunted Fs here

Jonas: INFP
Lily: ESTJ
Mother: ISTJ
Father: ISFJ
The Giver: INFJ
Fiona: ISFJ

It's hard to type Jonas but he's definitely a feeler and yeah, the Giver is INFJ.

Don't you think Jonas would be the same type as the giver, since he was going to be the next giver?
