LonCon3 #20: YA on the Big Screen

Panellists: Carrie VaughnAmy H. SturgisMartin LewisThea James (The Book Smugglers), Erin M. Underwood

With this in mind, I thought about creating a new feature sorting characters by popular series and making graphics with my categorizations. This would allow me to use two of my passions -- psychology and photography/photo manipulation -- with regard to another passion, young adult fiction. Since the Vampire Academy adaptation is coming soon (this Friday, the 7th!), I decided that I would test my feature as a way of also promoting the film (aka this is the closest that I will ever come to making fan art or quote graphics). Let me know what you think!

Have you ever heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator? If you haven't, I provide some links. If you have, I make some predictions as to what personality types Bella, Edward, Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Tris, Four, Rose, Dimitri, Adrian, and Sydney are. Do you agree with them? Do you do something similar?
