hmmm that big picture with the categories seems awfully familiar with its letter coding and descriptions, like one of the personality tests I've taken before... I don't want to go digging around in my old paperwork though, but im fairly certain it was the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator personality test. it was a self-reported analysis with a followup consultation with a therapist to explain what everything meant. its quite enlightening. the one that sounds most like me is Luna. Fluttershy is a close second.
... I found it after digging around, and my code was INFP, with intuition and sensing a very close struggle (only 1 point off from the center favoring intuition, so on any other day I may possibly slip into ISFP).
edit: oh wow, I AM like Luna haha. And this isn't my own self-bias, this is coming from a teacher with a PhD in clinical psychology and a time tested personality assessment.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicators can vary a little on their description of each type, depending on who and when it was developed/written. I've always been strongly an INTJ in every variant of the MBTI I've taken, but based on this particular instance of the description, I'm more like an INTP. Whatever that means. (IMG:[th08.deviantart.net] http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/090/9/0/shrugpony___derpy_hooves___by_moongazeponies-d3cvjx6.png)
Well it also depends on your numerical score (and since you've taken it multiple times, your numerical average) and how likely you are to change over time. Like me, my scores were 16/1/6/22 on INFP which means on any test I may switch that low 1 Intuition towards a 1 for Sensing, so my type may switch slightly from time to time, but you'll never see my Perceiving (22) or Introversion (16) change, unless I have a massive change of personality. If you say you're usually INTJ but you feel like INTP now, either you've changed a lot in one area of your personality since the last time you took the test or your Judging score was already low and close to the center, prone to change over to Perceiving, much like my Intuition and Sensing are pretty tied and may change a lot.
If Fluttershy were a human girl, she must always wear a loose sweater, either a turtleneck or one of those things with the giant hole that can be worn off the shoulder. Something young wife-ey. Apron is optional.
LOL, Fluttershy and sweaters and Twilight and sweater vests.
Yeah, I think my liking Fluttershy is because I want a wife with her personality. Also, I looked at my test results some more and not only did I pick the LOWEST of the jobs that are suited for me with a score of 23 (Military > Infantry) when i was young but now I am moving into a field of study that I am only low-moderately suited for with a score of 53 (Social Sciences > Psychology)... I guess I just don't make sense to this test, cus according to it I should be in the arts as a musician or entertainer, which I got a full 100 for, yet I have little musical talent and I definitely don't enjoy entertaining people. Stupid test.
I read Cupcakes out of curiosity. I will never curiosity get the best of me again.
I started reading it, but after about a page and a half, that little red bulb that tends to go off every time I end up wishing for a "Clear Recent History" function on my brain was flashing furiously. And for once, I managed to suppress my curiosity.
