I think it’s too limiting an idea. I personally am a mix of a lot of MBTI types. I’m right on the line with both E/I and J/P. That grid may be an okay guideline (I’m not familiar enough with the types to know how accurate it is), but I really think that you should just make the character you want to make without worrying about whether they’re “female enough.” Don’t disregard the physical differences (like women being naturally less physically strong than men), but don’t worry so much about making a character who checks off all the “female” boxes in everything or you’re likely to have a character who’s a walking cliche and makes your female readers really irritated. We’re just as diverse and complicated as guys are. Start by creating a well-rounded character and you’ll be on the right track. @mnvalentine‘s suggestion of getting someone to read over afterward and pick out things that don’t fit a female character was a really good idea. Write now and fix the issues later, just like you would with any other aspect of writing.
