@SmilingSword made a
topic two years ago about seeing which of the companions you are based on the Meyer-Briggs-Type-Indicator (short: MBTI), which is a pseudo-psychoanalytical personality test. It holds little weight in actual science, but it can be used as a fun and useful tool in character analysis and definition.
For more information on the seperate types, please check
this website and this video by Extra Credits:

I started to do some digging online and noticed that people seem to have vastly different opinions on what character has which type, so I thought maybe we could brainstorm a new and hopefully more accurate list together.
Please note that this list is about in which category a charcter fits
the most. Even though some characters can fit into more than one category and only few characters 100% fit in any category.
See these types as tin foil a character can be wrapped in, not a tupperware box they need to be squezed in.
Also, please take note that the typing has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's alignment. A lawful good and a chaotic evil character can both fit into the same personality category.
Also, I wanna point out a common mistake people make with these. I and E do
not stand for introverted and extroverted. They stand for intraversion and extroversion and have little to do with how shy or outgoing a person is. A person can be intraverted and still have a lot of social contacts and be confident around others. I think you can best explain it as how "accessible" someone is, how comfortable they feel with sharing their inner workings or deeper personal thoughts and feelings, if you wish. I find it a bit hard to explain, but I promise it makes sense :V
