I'm always of mixed feelings about MBTI; everyone seems to say "Oh, that's
ME to a T!" exactly the same way they do about a horoscope sign.
Nevertheless, it's been interestingly discussed in a few blogs, in
particular here:

Now, me, I'm about as wishy-washy as can be... I score INFP fairly
reliably (sometimes INTP) but always marginally. I'm introspective but
not shy, for instance. And I'm probably more Judging except I'm also ADD,
which brings in spontaneity and disorder anyway.
I'm not so sure about my characters. I sort of thought of Fastlane as an
extrovert, for instance, but on consideration, he might not be. He's got
skills I don't have as far as fast-talking and conning people, and plenty
of contacts ("I know a guy who..." is a regular quote), but real
extroversion hasn't really come out in play, in part because it's a pretty
foreign outlook for me. It's something I need to think more about,
especially since Carl's wanting to try to bring in more of the "normal
lives" stuff.
I'm also not sure if he's Sensing or Intuitive. Probably on the fence,
like his player, though perhaps a little more toward Sensing.
Thinking/Feeling... Again on the fence. He'll do the Right Thing
regardless of his own feelings, which is supposedly T. But he'll also go
for the immediate Right Thing rather than the long-term (that is, if a
supervillain leaves a hostage in peril to occupy Our Heroes while he goes
off to do villainy, Fastlane's going to have to do the rescue thing every
time). At least, I think that's F.
Judging/Perceiving... probably more Judging, because Fastlane's not ADD.
He's tenacious, which I can be all day long, right up until I go "ooh,
shiny" and forget what I'm
