Hey all!
This is pretty informal/unscientific, but I thought it would be cool to see (or at least attempt to see) if there was any relation between one’s personality and their RPG class choice (specifically for GW2 professions).
If you don’t know your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type, there are multiple free tests available online:

The poll/form:

I’ll update this post with stats/graphs in 24-48 hours. I also posted this over at Reddit and GuildWars2Guru in hopes of getting some more responses. Thanks for your time!

This is just preliminary data, and I don’t see any real correlations, but it is interesting that ISTJ’s seem to slightly lean toward the Guardian profession (though that could just be attributed to sample size/randomness). ISTJs are part of the Guardian Keirsey Temperament, and are described as being super-dependable, persevering, and dutiful. I’m probably just reading too much into it though.
Also, I have not yet figured out how to include the people with borderline personalities or multiple/all/no mains, so this chart does not include those.
