Professor Beryl. Gunnar tried to commit that to memory by repeating it a couple times in his head. He knew he'd learn it soon enough, but might as well get that bit out of the way so he could focus on a class he actually liked.

But he still remained unsure about how this Myers Briggs and random letters and psychological preferences in world perception had to do with the Elder Futhark, even after the explanation bit. Though, he'd come to realize that different teachers definitely had their different methods.

The fifteen year old read over the handout, writing out his relevant parts in his notes. And once he read over what pertained to him, he could agree that much of it sounded like him.

SPOILER!!: Gunnar's Notes

So which of the traits related most to him and what runes could be associated with them? Gunnar took a moment to allow his eyes to skim the list of traits again before choosing five - Reserved, Controlled, Pragmatic, Deliberate, and Hardworking. He jotted those down in his notes and then consulted his textbook to find some relevant runes.

SPOILER!!: Gunnar's Notes cont'd

That.... really took a while for Gunnar to work his way through the textbook and examine the different meanings for each rune and associate them with his personality traits. He was happy with them for the most part, though he remained unsure about using Kenaz for the 'controlled' trait. Even though controlled energy was listed, he wasn't so sure the rest of the meanings for Kenaz really fit. And, he really felt like Teiwaz should fit within his personality trait set given all of its meaning, but where? Hmm. He pulled that rune out of his bag and turned it over and over in his hand as he looked over his notes again and considered things.
