Use of Myers Briggs
Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Hey, Y'All,

We know that writing an app can sometimes be a bit of a frustration because we're asking you to be specific with us with characters that are still, most likely, living in your head. It's part of the reason we shortened the app itself. We also understand that certain sections of the app are routinely more difficult than others.

However, we need to ask you to stop immediately using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in your app. The MBTI is the personality type indicator that contains personality types such as: INFP, ESTJ, etc. The most important reason we ask you to stop using this immediately is that the MBTI is a copyrighted work and carries a trademark in its name when its properly cited. There are legal issues involved when using a trademarked instrument such as this, and we don't want those issues here on PA. Most often when it's been used in PA applications, MBTI information has been simply copy/pasted into an app, and without proper credits. That's plagiarism, and we certainly can't permit this to continue.

We realize the MBTI has been available on the internet in all sorts of self questionnaires, and we can't speak as to legal implications for those other sites or uses. However, we do also understand how an instrument like the MBTI can be helpful for a player to more clearly envision his/her character. If you choose to use it in your own private drafting of the app, that's certainly your business. However, please use your own words in the application to describe personality traits from here on out.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact me.

Thanks! Smile
K.
