Kaitlin- ESFP

Camilla- ESFJ

Ae Sook- INFP

Janika- ENTJ

And for the boys it would be

Darren- ISTP

Emery- ESTP

Farid- INTP

Andrew- ENFP

I've sorted these characters into MBTI personality types to see if we had any overlaps so far, and it appears that we do not (which is very good). Plus, it's a really good form of organization for personalities. Camilla could be changed to an ISFJ if we wanted to add even more diversity, but her basic personality would go from being a people person to being more introverted, which is not necessarily needed.

Also, you may have noticed that in some of the letter combinations there are overlaps of all except one letter (ENFP vs INFP, ESFP vs ESFJ, etc.). However, I can tell you right off the bat that if you look at the descriptions of these personality types you will see some significant differences. For instance, E's are much more social and charismatic than I's and usually come off as being more friendly, and T's are much more logical and unemotional in their decision making than F's are.

Here's some extra information on the personality types (more summarized). It says which types would be most likely to have a romantic relationship with each other, but I like it because it also takes into account how each personality type handles their situation when under stress.

You might also be questioning why I put Ae Sook under the category of an INFP if you read about it. They seem very much like Luna Lovegoods, really, but after a bit more research (and some personal experience with a friend of mine) I've grown to know that they can get extremely angry and be openly critical towards others. They can also be very protective of their views even though they're a perceiving type. This can be seen under the "Potential Problem Areas" heading on this page: http://www.personalitypage.com/html/INFP_per.html If you need any more information on a certain personality type, you can replace the INFP with another set of letters.

Yeah, I have a serious obsession with the MBTI system if you couldn't tell xD. It's pretty helpful for figuring out personality details for characters, though. omg bo i am obsessed with it too xD I literally try to categorize people into the personalities in my mind lol

and yeah i really like the chosen characters on your list.
