If you were stranded on an island....

and could choose the personality type of your one companion, what would it be?

I think my first choice would be an ISTP because this type would have good survival skills and a compatible personality. An ESTP would also have strong survival skills and be personality-compatible, though the introversion vs. extroversion might get on each other's nerves. Another NTP would be a good choice because this type is also a resourceful troubleshooter and we should get along well. But an NT could be weaker at dealing with immediate survival needs than an ST. We would be busy talking about how to escape rather than just building a shelter. I think an NTJ would be an alright match, I'm not sure how that would work. A similar-minded F type would make a nice companion but it isn't a type I would associate with having good survival skills. I think I would be likely to clash with an SJ type and we might end up strangling each other.

An ESTJ or an ISTJ. We can work together on what needs to be done and map out how we can live our lives and finally make an escape. It's what's important after all is to get out of that island anyway.

Probably an ESxP. I would want to make the most of my time there, and I feel that an ESTP or ESFP would be the most willing to jump off cliffs with me and stuff. Also, they probably wouldn't worry constantly and would most likely be optimistic and thrilled about the idea of a little adventure - a little obstacle that we're going to have to try to find our way out of, while having fun!

Probably an ESTJ. I'd want someone resourceful who would be very determined and help work hard to find us a way off the island. Definitely a Thinker and extraverted Judger because I can't have them getting too emotional about it, and I need them to approach the situation with intent on finding a solution.

ISFP - We'd die happy.
ISTP - We'd probably get off the island.

ENFJ! Hands down

Whatever personality type Bear Grylls is! Can I just have Bear Grylls??!! He's hawt...and we wouldn't die. He couldn't make me eat worms though.

another INFP. no arguing. good conversations. great one-on-one opportunity.
and ENFP. those guys know how to make you feel at home. no matter where you are.

INFJ they're deadly smart and would figure sth. out, plus they'd make a great companion. And, if we didn't find a way out, well, great sex on a beach for the rest of my life: I could dig it...

Whatever type Michael Phelps is. Then all I would need is a saddle and a gold medal hanging on a stick to get the hell out of there.

But seriously, I would say INTJ. We could use the time to plan our scheme for world domination.
