Even though it's over, "Parks and Rec" is still constantly on my radar (I have the 12-month calendar hanging above my desk — September is Donna). With that and mind, and also for all of you who are as obsessed as I am with finding other people who have the same personality as you, here are 16 characters from "Parks and Recreation" and what I think are their best Myers-Briggs fits.
