---|---|---|---|---|
Openness | Do not have a good imagination. | Very Inaccurate | 5 | Based on the available character information, it would be 'Very inaccurate' to say that Sansa Stark does not have a good imagination. In George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, initially, Sansa Stark is portrayed as a character with a vivid imagination. She daydreams about knights, noble courts, and romantic love stories. This is reflected in her dreams of marrying a knight in shining armor, like Prince Joffrey. As the series progresses, her imagination becomes darker and more realistic due to the harsh situations she experiences, thus demonstrating her adaptability. Therefore, it can be concluded that Sansa Stark does indeed possess a strong ability to imagine. However, the nature of her imaginative tendencies changes in line with her experiences. |
Openness | Am not interested in abstract ideas. | Moderately Accurate | 2 | I would evaluate the statement 'Sansa Stark is not interested in abstract ideas' as 'moderately accurate'. Sansa Stark is often portrayed as a more pragmatic and realistic individual rather than an abstract thinker. However, this does not necessarily mean she lacks any interest or capacity for abstract ideas, but instead suggests that her character is more inclined towards practical actions and decision-making based on her experiences and circumstances. Her growth in the series demonstrates her ability to strategize and manipulate when necessary, which can indicate a potential interest in and understanding of abstract concepts, especially as they relate to power and politics. However, accumulated references throughout the series point more to a hands-on, concrete approach to problem-solving over abstract theorizing. Therefore, while she might show some interest in abstract ideas, her primary focus is more direct and pragmatic in nature. |
Openness | Have difficulty understanding abstract ideas. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | 'Moderately inaccurate.' Sansa Stark is depicted as a character who progresses from a naïve young girl to a complex and strategic woman. Throughout the course of the story, she demonstrates a strong understanding of political maneuvers, deceit, and manipulation - all of which require an understanding of abstract concepts. Her ability to understand the underlying machinations in the world around her disproves the notion that she has difficulty understanding abstract ideas. |
Openness | Have a vivid imagination. | Moderately Accurate | 4 | 'Moderately accurate'. Sansa Star is shown to have a vivid imagination especially in the beginning of the series when she is still young and naive. She imagines a life of luxury and romance with handsome princes and knights, often daydreaming about fairy tales and songs. As her character matures and experiences hardship, her imagination becomes less of a focal point, but it is still used as a tool for her to draw on as she navigates the political landscape. So, while it might not always be positive or dreamy, she does possess a strong imagination. |
Neuroticism | Seldom feel blue. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | 'Moderately inaccurate'. Based on the character information available, it is not accurate to say Sansa Stark seldom feels blue. Sansa goes through a range of traumatic and emotional events, such as her father's execution, mistreatment at King's Landing, her forced marriage to Tyrion Lannister and later to Ramsay Bolton, alongside the overall turmoil and instability in the realm. These events cause her significant distress and sadness throughout the series, suggesting she feels 'blue' quite frequently. |
Neuroticism | Am relaxed most of the time. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | 'Moderately Inaccurate'. Sansa Stark throughout the series undergoes a significant amount of stress and trauma, from being forced into marriages, dealing with the constant threat of her life, and the trauma of her family's lives. Although she displays resilience and strength despite these situations, it would be inaccurate to say she is relaxed most of the time. She is often seen exhibiting signs of anxiety, stress, and vigilance. However, as she develops throughout the series, she begins to exhibit strength and control, but this doesn't equate to relaxation. |
Neuroticism | Get upset easily. | Moderately Inaccurate | 2 | Based on the character information from the 'Game of Thrones' series, the statement that 'Sansa Stark gets upset easily' would be 'moderately inaccurate'. Sansa Stark is presented as a character who, despite facing numerous hardships and tragic events, manages to maintain her composure and restraint in most situations. She experiences numerous upsetting, and even traumatic, events throughout the series, but she does not typically react with immediate or impulsive upset. Instead, she tends to internalize her emotions and think judiciously before reacting, which shows her strength and maturity. Despite her justified reasons to get upset, Sansa manages to keep her emotions under control and strategize her next move. Thus, she does not 'get upset easily.' |
Neuroticism | Have frequent mood swings. | Moderately Inaccurate | 2 | Based on the available character information, the statement 'Sansa Stark has frequent mood swings' is 'moderately inaccurate'. Sansa Stark faces numerous challenging situations including betrayal, loss, and abuse. Although her experiences, emotions, and reactions vary greatly throughout the series, these do not necessarily constitute as “frequent mood swings”. Instead, they are responses to her external circumstances and her emotional growth. Therefore, it would be more accurate to attribute Sansa's changes in mood to growth and adaptation rather than mood swings. |
Conscientiousness | Make a mess of things. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | Evaluation: 'Moderately inaccurate'. Explanation: Based on all available character information, it can be stated that Sansa Stark does not routinely 'make a mess of things'. Initially, Sansa's naivety did lead her to make some mistakes and poor decisions; however, as her character develops throughout the series, she shows a remarkable ability to learn from these experiences. Stark's growth is characterized by increasing political savvy, strategic decision making, and a talent for survival. While she does face several complications and challenges, these are often due to circumstances beyond her control rather than her making a 'mess'. Hence, the description of Sansa Stark as someone who regularly makes a mess of things can be classified as 'moderately inaccurate'. |
Conscientiousness | Often forget to put things back in their proper place. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | There isn't specific information on Sansa frequently forgetting to put things back in their proper place. However, given her upbringing as a noble lady in a medieval-like setting, where she was trained in the courtesies and customs expected of high-born women, which often included maintaining tidiness and orderliness, it can be assumed that she likely would be organized. This has also been reflected through her careful and thought-out behaviors in the show and books. So, I would rate the statement 'Sansa Stark forgets to put things back in their proper place' as 'moderately inaccurate'. However, keep in mind that this statement isn't directly addressed in the books or television series. |
Conscientiousness | Like order. | Moderately Accurate | 4 | 'Moderately accurate'. Throughout the series, Sansa Stark shows a significant preference for structure and order. In the early seasons, she clings to the traditional expectations of a high-born lady's conduct and the structured customs and rituals of court society. Later, after witnessing significant chaos and suffering, she seeks to create order in her home of Winterfell and among her people in the North. Despite this tendency toward order, she also adapts and evolves throughout the series in ways that can't be entirely pinned down to a liking for order, which somewhat tempers the evaluation. Her character shows growth and development that often contradicts her early love for orderliness and tradition. |
Conscientiousness | Get chores done right away. | Moderately Inaccurate | 2 | 'Moderately inaccurate'. Sansa Stark is seen more as a noblewoman and not typically tasked with chores in the conventional sense. However, we could interpret 'chores' as fulfilling her responsibilities or duties. Sansa's character shows characteristics of patience, having to adapt to difficult circumstances and making strategic decisions when needed, rather than jumping into action immediately. She often takes time to weigh her options and consider effects before acting. Hence, the statement 'Sansa Stark gets chores done right away' may be moderately inaccurate. |
Agreeableness | Am not interested in other people's problems. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | I would say this statement is 'moderately inaccurate'. Sansa Stark shows a considerable amount of empathy towards others. Her concern for her family is a recurring theme, and she's often involved in helping to solve their problems. However, she does focus heavily on her own survival and political advancement, which may sometimes make her seem self-focused. But overall, Sansa seems interested in and empathetic towards other people's problems when they intersect with her own interests and values. |
Agreeableness | Am not really interested in others. | Very Inaccurate | 5 | Evaluation: Very inaccurate. Sansa Stark shows a great interest in others throughout the series. She can be perceptive, empathic, and caring. Her interest in others develops even more so as she matures and starts playing political games. She displays understanding, compassion and forgiveness towards her family members and allies. She often makes her decisions based on how they impact others around her. So, it's very inaccurate to say that Sansa Stark is not really interested in others. |
Agreeableness | Feel others' emotions. | Moderately Accurate | 4 | 'Moderately Accurate'. Sansa Stark has indeed demonstrated the capability to understand and feel others' emotions over the course of the series. She has proven to be empathetic and sensitive, often relating to others' pain and adapting her actions accordingly. Her experiences and hardships help her empathize with others undergoing similar trials. However, it’s important to note that while she does show empathy, it is not presented as her strongest or most consistent characteristic. Therefore, the statement is moderately accurate, not 'very accurate'. |
Agreeableness | Sympathize with others' feelings. | Very Accurate | 5 | Based on available character information, it can be considered 'very accurate' to say that Sansa Stark sympathizes with others' feelings. Sansa demonstrates a high level of empathy towards others, often manifesting in her understanding and sympathy towards people undergoing hardships. Though she begins the series as a somewhat naïve character, she quickly learns about sorrow and hardship and often uses these experiences to empathize with others in similar situations, showing both compassion and understanding. |
Extraversion | Keep in the background. | Moderately Inaccurate | 4 | Based on available character information, the evaluation of whether Sansa Stark prefers to keep in the background would be 'moderately inaccurate'. In the initial seasons of Game of Thrones, Sansa can be seen as a rather passive character, linked to her dream of marrying into royalty and living a life consistent with her high-born status. This might suggest a propensity for staying in the background. However, as the series and her character develop, she becomes increasingly involved in politics and takes on leadership roles, proving her ability to strategize and navigate the dangerous and politically complex environment of Westeros. She directly involves herself in the Battle of the Bastards, resulting in a critical victory for Jon Snow, showing her willingness and capability to step into the spotlight when it counts. Thus, while she initially may have seemed content to stay in the background, her character evolution shows a different trajectory. Therefore, the statement is moderately inaccurate. |
Extraversion | Don't talk a lot. | Moderately Accurate | 2 | I would say this statement is 'moderately accurate'. Sansa Stark, is not particularly known for being overly talkative. However, this doesn't mean she is excessively quiet or shy. She is observant and weighs her words carefully, often choosing to remain silent and observe rather than freely express her thoughts, especially in potentially dangerous situations. Furthermore, her character growth throughout the series shows a progression from a more naive, quiet girl to a strategic, thoughtful woman who uses her words sparingly but effectively. |
Extraversion | Talk to a lot of different people at parties. | Moderately Accurate | 4 | 'Moderately accurate'. Sansa Stark is shown to have evolved through the series. She starts as a naive young girl dreaming of courtly love and life but over the course of the series, she learns to navigate the political landscapes of her world. Sansa's growth includes learning the art of court politics which does involve talking and interacting with lots of different people, which can be analogous to attending parties. However, these interactions are generally strategic and purposeful, rather than casual or small talk, so while she does interact with many people, it's usually not in the conventional 'party' atmosphere. |
Extraversion | Am the life of the party. | Very Inaccurate | 1 | Based on the character information available, it would be 'Very inaccurate' to say that Sansa Stark is the life of the party. Sansa's personality is often seen as serious and reserved, particularly after she has experienced many traumatic events. Sansa's character develops from a naive young girl into a mature, wise, and strong woman who is more known for her strategic planning, resilience, and leadership abilities. She usually avoids frivolous behavior and is not characterized as one to draw attention to herself in a party-like setting. |
