> Hermione: DEFINITELY an INTJ.. Read a specific summary of INTJ's, 
I think you'll find that it hits the mark dead on. (There's even a 
rationalization for SPEW)

I think you may be right.  I can certainly see Hermione as a 
rational.  However, I think she displays just as much "feeling" and 
she does "thinking" Yes, she is incredibly smart.  But she cares 
deeply for people.  And, I think she has shown many times that she 
feels rather than thinks (when she runs crying to the bathroom)

"Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the 
weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs 
gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for 
personal glory or political power. 
INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden."

"Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily 
led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. 
Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about 
their friends . Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that 
transcends mere words. 

In their own way, INFJs are just as much "systems builders" as are 
INTJs; the difference lies in that most INFJ "systems" are founded 
on human beings and human values, rather than information and 
technology. " (the website you mentioned)


> Harry: I think Harry is an INTP... I'm not really certain (despite 
the book being written from his perspective), but I think he's a 
Rational, almost certainly Introverted, and probably Percieving.  
Also, I find that I definitely relate to Harry, and can draw some 
parallels between him and myself, spefically about how he views 
other people and the world.  (I am DEFINITELY an INTP, so I know 
that much)

I'm not so sure.  I think harry is NF as well, maybe INFJ or INFP
INFJ

> Fred/George: ESFP
What about ENFP?
"ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of 
the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs. 

ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be 
intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they 
get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, 
the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som 
etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is 
flipped. "


> Okay, based on this wide divergence of personalities within the 
Gryffindor house, I would argue that keirsey temperment has little 
to do with sorting (though maybe it's important for other houses, 
specifically Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. I believe that the defining 
characteristic of Gryffindors, courage, has little to do with 
personality type; you can be any one of the 16 personality types and 
still be brave.  Same with Slytherin- you can be any personality 
type and still be evil.).


First, I'd like to say I agree with you that you don't have to be a 
NF to be sorted into Gryffindor. (Afterall, choices are what really 
matter.)  And, I think NFs can be sorted elsewhere.  However, I 
think NFs may have a disposition towards Gryffindor.
But I am not an expert either, and I think it is probably wise to 
say I am an INFP...Thus, I'm a little biased.

Thanks for your time.
