Every game has a main character and every gamer has a favorite type to choose among those characters. The reason for their picks might be spurred by an existing correlation between the two personalities.

If such a correlation exists, a surefire way to sort this out is to use a system called the Meyer Briggs personality indicator (MBTI) to identify personality types. And there are many types already categorized by it. If you have a video game hero are haven't settled on one, this list could help you to identify them.

10 ENFJ - The Protagonist: Abe (Oddworld Series)

These are the natural born leaders of the pack. Diplomatic, idealistic, charismatic and enthusiastic, they can be swayful communicators. They are also caring which is the icing on the cake for any leadership role.

Abe might not appear as the most qualified candidate for filing this role but that's just the surface. Behind his frail and grotesque appearance lies a charismatic leader who would fart his way into gamers' hearts. Rising from the position of a mere janitor to emancipator, Abe would go on to lead his enslaved brethren to freedom without batting an eye.
