You’ve heard of the Myers-Briggs Test – but what does the Myers-Briggs Test say about BU? I decided to take “being you at BU” to a whole new level by sorting the sixteen basic types of students you meet at Boston University based on the Myers-Briggs system. See if you can spot yourself, your friends and that one obnoxious guy in your English class among the analysis.
Oh, and to answer your most pressing questions in advance: I’m an ENFP, and yes, Jenna Marbles went to BU.
