I feel like those tests pigeon-hole people and we can't be pigeon-holed. We all act out of character at times. They are useful in writing. I took a workshop where we took a personality test and then used the results to determine what are strengths and weaknesses are as writers. It is interesting stuff!<br /><br />I love how you use your family history to create your stories! Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!M.J.

In the British mystery series "Rosemary and Thyme," the writers laid a broad base for the characters and the seasoned actresses got to develop their characters accordingly. It turned out well! They even decided what the characters favorite flavor of crisps (potato chips) were.
