The Engineer - notes things extremely carefully, trying to write the exact actions with no associated emotion or consideration for the reasons. 3rd person limited narrator, basically (usually). When I RP, I tend to do this, because I think it simulates real interactions better. Emotions can be misread, and that doesn't happen when you say "Bob sighed angrily" as opposed to "Bob sighed loudly, furrowing his brow." It makes things more interesting.
That said, it's really annoying to read for long.
2. The Dreamer - OH MY GOD I CAN'T STOP THINKING. This one describes things and contemplates everyone's reasoning. Wondering about things more than doing. A lot more worrying about the why (and how) than the what, when, or where.
I think it would be fun to write an entire novel in this persona. She'd never describe the actions, just the reasoning. I do enjoy reading this, but I get frustrated when I write it (I feel like I'm being boring).
3. The Child - My inner 10-year-old, just goin' to town. OH MAN LET'S PUT SOME UNICORNS IN HERE YES.
Yeah, they're all basically extreme-ified aspects of my personality.
