Greetings, everyone
A thread for analysis of Touhou characters' personalities, through the 16Personalities model.
The website:
https://www.16personalities.com/This model uses 5 gauges to measure people's personalities, each gauge has two ends, and a person can be anywhere in the gauge (including the middle), and the person's personality is the combination of the five.
Some simple summary (folded) of the gauges if you do not wish to read over the website (although I recommand reading it):
Traits:
Mind: (I)introverted - (E)extraverted
I - prefers to be alone, or with a few close friends
can be talkative if the conversation is about a subject of their interest
prefers not to be in the spotlight (this is different from shyness) (because they don't want to)
E - enjoys being in the crowd, has a lot of friends
talkative in general
"good with people"
dislikes solitude and finds it boring
Energy: (N)intuitive - (S)observant
N - dreamers, imaginative
S - doers, practical
Nature: (T)thinking - (F)feeling
T - logical (but not robots)
F - emotional (but not idiots)
Tactics: (J)judging - (P)prospecting
J - planning/organized, prefers expectable things, might be rigid, better attention span
P - flexible, disorganized, poor attention span, open to and seek new ideas
Identity: (A)assertive - (T)turbulent
A - has less stress, fine with who they are, cares less about people's opinion
T - has more stress, wants to improve themselves, cares more about people's opinion
The combination of the first four makes the personality type, and the Identity creates two variants of the type.
The "code" for personality is the letters arranged by "MindEnergyNatureTactics-Identity".
For example: ISFJ-A
Combinations of traits:
Please feel free to disagree with/add to my opinions, and/or put analysis of more characters, though I would like it for you to provide some reasons.
Here're my thoughts:
Patchouli - Architect[INTJ-A]"knowledge is power"
Architects are the "typical nerds". They are often seen sitting in a corner(library) and reading a 2-inch thick book.
They are, as the name suggests, architects --- they learn about things, create new things from their imagination and knowledge,
make blueprints of them, and make directions and plans on building them.
They make excellent counsellors, as they have both creativity and practicality.
Eirin - Logician[INTP-A] (same as me!)"I think, therefore I am"
Logicians are known as "the science prodigy".
They can be very arrogant if you are not their friend - "Humans are too dumb to understand this" (IN dialogue)
But they are nice most of the time, and many things that will anger normal people won't even trouble them. (example in an article from Bunbunmaru news)
The list goes on
