Updates and Current Projects
After watching the personality test results roll in for the past month, we have a list of updates to make. (This is why we like to emphasize that it’s still in beta.) Of course, my urge is just to obsess and obsess over perfecting the test, but that’s not practical. After all, the test will never actually be completely done. There’ll always be room for improvement. So, for the last month, we’ve set that aside, and have been focusing on article-writing. Eventually, we’ll take an evening or two to work through that list of updates.
Of course, feedback from the various personality types was critical during the initial creation of the quiz, and continues to be so. So, if you are certain about your personality type, willing to use Discord, and you would like to talk type with me, send a quick email.
That’s it for now. I’ll try to update this page at the beginning of every month. See below for the updated the list of ongoing projects. Don’t forget to comment if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions. We’d love to hear from you!

Personally, I’m looking forward to the “Are TPs The Rule Breakers” article! I figured the more “individualist” functions (Ti, Fi) might have some conflict with the Extraverted judging functions (Fe, Te) and I know high Fi’s relationship with Te is that the systems Te tends to put in place might encroach on it’s individuality and Ti’s relationship with Fe would be valuing it’s subjective framework over Fe social harmony stuffs. (I guess like how differing opinions could ruin the atmosphere at, say, a tea party or something…)
But I’ve wondered about how things manifest if you criss-cross things over. High Te may not care (much… at least in the unhealthy types?) about Fi individuality but how would it react to Ti’s “I don’t really care about identity, I just have my own opinions and like doing things my own way” sort of way of going about things? Would Fi asserting its individuality get in the way of Fe harmony? And vice-versa would Ti try to bend the Te rules so it can do things in a way that makes more sense to it? Would Fi rebel against Fe harmony if it feels like it’s encroaching on its identity?
Not sure if all this is going to be answered but I’m looking forward to the answer regardless, haha. Seeing how functions react to other functions is interesting!
The answer to most of those questions is yes, lol.
About the test, I think looking at how you type characters would help increase accuracy and maybe layering questions which means asking questions based on answers from previous choices
Layering questions is a nice idea but complex from a backend/coding standpoint. The final section of the test is determined based on all the previous answers, but doing something as dynamic or nuanced as having the test choose the next question based on the previous question would probably be a bit too much. I’ve considered having a tie-breaker section of sorts that’s generated based on which function scores are too close, but I haven’t quite worked that one out in my head yet.
What do you mean by looking at how we type characters?
Like where you notice the various differences like how certain characters are not x
Can you guys do Sung Jinwoo from Solo leveling next if possible?
We’ve actually seen most of this show to date. Two episodes left of the most recent season. The problem with this character is that he seemingly goes through a personality shift at the beginning. He struck more like a feeler at the beginning, ISFP specifically… which is still theoretically plausible, but he acts more like an NTJ as the series progresses. We’ve yet to identify any clear flaws, though that would help us settle on which of his cognitive functions are least preferred.
We can always wait till next season to see if the series gets more focus on him as a character. Have you guys dealt with a character that has a shift like this besides someone like Eren I’m guessing (his character was clear before he turned ENTJ-ish)? Seems to me the writer didn’t really intend on making well-developped characters, instead focusing more on plot and story lines. I actually heard, in the manhwa, Jinwoo is darker and the anime softens up on some parts. If I was typing him, I’d just go with his characterization after the second awakening since we see more of that anyway but who knows maybe there’s more stuff to discover…
Well, Itachi is the obvious example. I agree though that in the end, if I can’t reconcile his original personality with his post-second awakening personality, I’ll prioritize the latter, treating it like a personality reboot or override.
Nvm. We can write this character.
Ok then. Will be looking forward to that.
I have two questions.
First, did you determine the Joker’s type (Arthur Fleck)? Season 2 has already been released.
Second, if you have time, could you write more articles about video game characters?
Thank you.
We haven’t watched the second movie as of yet.
Video games are rough because of the time commitment and they’re often not very popular from a content standpoint. Were there any specific video games you had in mind?
Not yet, sorry. I have a few more questions.
Did you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion? I want to know the type of the protagonist (Shinji). If you watched, could you do Shinji Ikari from Evangellion?
Also, I still don’t understand why ISFJs are often mistyped as INFPs. I can understand why ISFPs, ENFPs, or ISTJs get mistyped—since they have the same functions, or at least share Fi/Te—but ISFJ seems more different.
No, I have not watched Neon Genesis Evangelion
ISFJs are typically mistyped as INFPs due to the assumption that quirky + emotionally deep = INFP. Desirable or popular characters tend to not get identified as ISXJs.
Maybe many isfjs also do not relate to their description.
I know GTA 5 is one of the more popular ones or Genshin 5 but for that one the only character is Paimon who everyone says is ESFP
