Werewolf and Enneagrams
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Enneagram/Myers Briggs-type personality tests, but the recent WW game got me thinking about them.
(Disclaimer - even though I've got management-type chums who swear by these tests, I personally find them a bit too formulaic. But still, the concept is kind of interesting) The four personality preferences, as tested by this system, are explained here: http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/tt/t...l/mb-simpl.htm All four are relevant to Werewolf play to some extent, but I think the most important ones are 2 and 3 - how you process information and how you make decisions. Do you prefer to deal with facts (S - Sensory) or ideas (N - Intuitive)? Do you make decisions based on logic (T - Thinker) or values and personal beliefs (F - Feeler)? Now, in the last Werewolf game, Formendacil said that his downfall was partly due to this: Quote:

So, where are you on the spectrum and how does this effect your playing style? On tests, I'm usually a fairly strong N but quite evenly split between F and T and this is reflected in how I play, I try to steer between two poles, which often ends up in a god-awful mental shipwreck, frankly. Of course, there are those who probably think we shouldn't even be discussing our playing styles - too much information for the enemy....
