This is the thread for discussing Myers & Briggs personality types of characters from Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan.

Some common opinions:

Eren - ESFP
Armin - INFJ
Mikasa - ISTJ
Levi - INFJ
Erwin - ENTJ

Agree? Disagree? Want to discuss other Shingeki no Kyojin characters? Let's hear it!

I actually saw a very good case for why Eren might be ENFJ, sounds weird, I know, but hear me out. ESFP is a good bet because of his Se oriented nature, but I don't think that's right, because he uses so much Fe it actually hurts. :P

All throughout the story, he wants people to feel what he feels and lets them know exactly what his viewpoint is without them asking. Also, he gets really upset when he doesn't initially do well in the military, and I don't think Fi would do that. Maybe I've got the functions messed up, but that seems like Fe to me. Ni is kind of obvious; even as a child, he wanted to see the outside, but changed that to killing all the Titans. Se as his tertiary explains quite a bit, since he wasn't very good with the grappling gear (I forgot the name, haven't watched in eons. :D ) whereas Mikasa was a natural. I know it's a stereotype, but it's quite a well earned one. Although, I suppose you could say that Mikasa shouldn't be good at it because she's not Se, but this is just a theory, anyhow. Inferior Ti doesn't really need to be explained much, since I don't think anyone could argue that Eren is a rational person. :D

Armin, I actually think is an INTP, his reasoning reminds me of Ti+Ne rather than Ni+Fe, and I think he was more in tune with his inferior Fe at the beginning of the story as he grew into his stronger functions, and became pretty much the master strategist by the end.

As for the rest, Mikasa's pretty much an ISTJ in my book, Levi, I actually think is an ISTP, although that's probably just stereotyping, and Erwin is Te dominant, but I'm not sure whether ENTJ or ESTJ. I'm not batshit scared of him, so I'd rule out ENTJ, although that's probably just my preconceptions. Anyway, that's all folks! :D

P.S. Holy hell I wrote a lot... Uh, sorry for whoever has to read this, you might get a headache. XD

Hmm... That argument on Eren being possible ENFJ actually does make a lot of sense O.O
I think I've seen a post like that and they said he was on an Fe-Se function loop, which wouldn't be surprising considering the hell they live in hahaha. I think I would pinpoint Erwin as ENTJ. He is very similar to the Mastermind, INTJ, but clearly an Extraverted version. He has perfect control over situations it seems and he definitely sees the bigger picture/grand scheme of things. This comes out even more in the manga.. speaking of which I CANT WAIT FOR SEASON TWO AHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, I don't think there are many stable people in that universe :P Erwin was kind of in the background in the scenes I remember, so I wouldn't be able to say either way. Do you have an opinion on Annie? She's quite an odd character, I can't pinpoint her functions, although I think she uses Ni and Se. Oh man, season two would be good to watch, although I hope they don't do something like make the ending rushed like the first season did. XD

I agree with Mikasa's typing as far as IxxJ but from there I feel like it could go either way...

After thinking about it for a bit. yeah, she could go either way as far as Ni and Si go, but there's no doubt in my mind that she's Te. Most of the conflicts between her and Eren are Te vs Fe, at least, how I see it. But feel free to object! :D
