Jung-Myers-Briggs psychological types for KS

[DrSkulk]

I hope this doesn't come off as rude (it is really not intended to be, I swear lol), but you are preaching to the choir a bit. xD;; I'm wrapping up a degree in Psychology as we speak (please come soon, May...). But it's good info to have here in this thread anyway.

Hehehe, no offence taken man, it's nice to finally have some "professional" opinion here

As you noted - there's lost of possible mixing and changes overtime. In modern personality assessment, people tend to use the MMPI or the NEOAC rather than Myers-Briggs... but meh, it's all the same sort of principle. I do prefer the MMPI and NEOAC, if only because they don't do AS much categorization. But at the end of the day, categorization is what we're going for.

Very interesting, I might go and have a look into those later.

At any rate, again, A+ on the guess work for all the girls' types! Well done and well explained.

So I wasn't completely clueless about this thing! Yay!


EDIT: Oh sorry, I should probably say ma'am instead of man haha

It never occurred to me to view Rin as an INTP before. Your case is very convincing, and I cannot find any apparent problems with your observations. It seems likely that the main reason that it seems counter-intuitive at first is that art is not a field which INTPs are traditionally associated with - myself, I think of philosophers, logicians and mathematicians. As for Lilly, I think AnotherKatawaShoujo's description of Lilly is very accurate, although she seems to fit the INFJ description better.

Being an INTJ myself, I long for a VN with one of my kin with whom I can team up with and rule the world in a semi-belligerent sort of relationship - imagine Agent Starling and Dr. Lecter, or perhaps even more amusing, Gendo from Evangelion and Balalaika from Black Lagoon, teaming up.

Gendo Ikari is my favourite male anime character. Followed by Okabe Rintarou.

Myers-Briggs tests never work out for me. They've only ever agreed for me on the NF part: the other letters always change, and once they actually all came back inconclusive at the same time.

Myers-Briggs tests never work out for me. They've only ever agreed for me on the NF part: the other letters always change, and once they actually all came back inconclusive at the same time.

The tests only give you an idea of who you might be; only you know the final answer to that one. If the tests don't help, try and figure it out yourself!

By the looks of it, you have it pretty easy as you already have 2 of them down, leaving only two to figure out. (As long as you agree with the "NF" result that is.) E-I scale is pretty straightforward, as most people would have an idea of the extent of extraversion they possess. I for example, can be pretty vocal at social gatherings, giving off the impression that I am a pretty outgoing person, but I know that in my heart I am an introvert to boot. J-P, again, a bit trickier, but still straightforward more or less. When you do things, do you follow a set way to do them all the time? Or are you more random and spontaneous with your ways? Does it bother you when you break appointments and promises? Or maybe you feel uncomfortable when you go into something without some sort of a plan? If you're the planning type, you're a J. If you're the spontaneous type, you're a P.

A few more extra words - J people are sometimes seen as inflexible, whereas P people are seen as indecisive at times.

If you can't decide upon one, maybe the tests have got it pretty right. You could be smack dab in the middle of the spectrum, with both sides of the scale having each a significant influence on you.


So, which type are you?

(Oh and before I make an ass of myself again, if you knew all this already I'm sorry for being all know-it-all about it. Just trying to be helpful is all. )

I'd like to share my view on this subject.

Lilly - ESFJ: Lilly is a confident individual that handles directing large numbers of people fluently, and loves to help people. these factors are some of the main reasons she wants to become a teacher. her outward empathy and need to care for everyone around her point directly to her being an EXTROVERT that uses FEELINGS heavily in her decision making. these also attribute to her almost motherly relation to Hanako. Lilly dominantly takes in her surroundings with her senses. she often has to touch or hear or feel things before moving forward (metaphorically) or processing a situation. This leads me to believe she is the SENSING type. Lilly understands things in a concrete and orderly fashion. She has a great sense of order. This is why i believe her Judging is the more dominant trait. ESFJ's are the caregivers. they seek to love and protect all of those around them. They seek deep connections to those they are close to, and have a warm and friendly demeanor to those they care about.

Rin - INFP/IsFP: Rin is a quiet and often misunderstood girl. She neither seeks company nor does she thrive around extended company. Still, occasionally she'll attempt to explain exactly whats on her mind, no matter how much trouble she has putting it into words. Rin is often very aware of how she FEELS about everything around her. The world in rin's mind isn't a world of blacks greys and whites. It's a world filled with brilliant hues and gradients no one can see much less even imagine. This is how rin PERCEIVES the world. She seems to have well developed SENSING, but often follows gut feelings and rarely understands how she feels well enough to externalize it, leading me to believe she is more dominantly INTUITIVE.

Misha - INFJ: This decision may be quite confusing to the others reading it. INFJ can be an odd mix and is often misread, because while INFJs do not directly seek out large groups, or heavily rely on their THINKING trait, INFJs tend to externalize many of their non-dominant traits forming almost a shell to protect themselves. Their shell allows them to interact with and experience the world and effectively come to understand people in a general sense while being able to seperate themselves from much of the world and internalize many of their feelings and organize them in a concrete fashion. INFJs tend to misinterpret one another's actions and intentions and often form fairly coercive relationships with eachother if any at all.

While Misha may seem very extroverted and springy, this exterior is a front for the most part. The real Misha is very fragile and for the most part on confides with Shizune and rarely has little to no real emotional connection to the rest of the world. She can be manipulative and often chooses what and what not to accept in conversations with outsiders. Misha's inner-self is very down to earth and tends to seek a routine and orderly atmosphere where she can enjoy her time with Shizune and Hisao(if you take Shizune's route).

Hanako - ISFJ: Hanako is obviously very sensitive to the feelings and needs of those around her. She often takes in a lot of information about her personal relationships and creates for herself a safe little world for herself and the ones she cares about. Everything outside of her world however is unsafe and unorderly. In terms of her relationship with Lilly she fills the introverted half of the relationship. their sensing traits tend to mesh which allows them to understand eachothers feelings and provide emotional support to one another.

Emi - ENTP: Emi is always energetic and ready to tackle any and every obstacle in her way. When she sets a goal for herself she doesn't really take time to examine the situation. She knows what she has to do to accomplish her goals and she has the drive to do it no matter how hard. The reasoning behind Emi's goals and their practical prupose are relative to her. As long as she keeps moving forward not a whole lot else matters.

Shizune - ENTJ: Shizune's need for a mental opponent and logical order are 2 of her most defining traits, and her constant outgoingness and need to lead others are often the bane of many players and bystanders existence. Even with that said she is an effective leader, and understands what is important to both herself and those shes leading. She often acts instinctively, Bulldozing through others lives without any regard for personal feelings or resignations.

Hisao - ISTJ: While you choose Hisao's route it's ofter very clear that he dictates how he reacts to your choices and his personality for the most part remains fairly consistent throughout the game. Hisao tends to focus on only 1 or 2 relationships at a time. While he does make a number of friends early in the series, many of the meetings are coincidences that he goes along with for the most part. Hisao is very logical, often unknowingly trampling on others feelings while wading though conversations he has with others. he often relies on his gut in most situations and can be very impulsive. If things seem out of order to Hisao he tends to become irritable or even angry.

The main things to understand about the MBTI is that no result is simply black and white. Our non-dominant traits are still represented in us, but some of us more than others. The MBTI also doesn't say everything about a personality; it only predicts how a person processes information around them and the manner in which that person reacts to said information. There are many details and quirks in a personality that this doesn't account for, and because of that 2 people with the same type and sometimes seem drastically different. The test is not 100% accurate and is also affected by how one sees their self, which may not be very accurate at all in some cases.
