Ooops, I thought I had caught that in the review. When you choose your archetype, you get a training point bonus if you have a particular personality type (for instance, the Iconoclast gets a bonus if the character's personality includes S and J). There is a mention of certain spells only, for instance, affecting Judging characters but as I noted the Magic section doesn't actually elaborate on it. The idea of using MBTI in rpgs is something I've seen before, but I'm damned if I can't figure out where else.
