All types can bump up against motivation struggles. I think itโ€™s assumed that certain types will struggle more than others, and maybe thatโ€™s true, but I donโ€™t think anyone is immune. Iโ€™ve seen quite a few ISTPs complain about struggling to motivate themselves, especially in school. So, Iโ€™m just going to talk about how I [โ€ฆ]

Myers-Briggs Types in Fate/Zero: Kiritsugu Emiya (ISTP)

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

The Fate series is incredibly complex, and honestly, somewhat convoluted. For Kiritsugu Emiya, we focused primarily on Fate/Zero to gather information, although he does show up in other Fate series. (His behavior in the other series appeared consistent with this conclusion.) Overall, while we considered other personality types, Kiritsugu Emiya seems to make the most [โ€ฆ]

Pop onto a โ€˜type meโ€™ thread and the most common evidence youโ€™ll see laid out as proof of not being an ISTJ is not caring [โ€ฆ]

Fi vs Ti: Am I an IXTP or an IXFP?

in Typing Dilemmas

And here is Fi vs Ti: another common typing dilemma. Ti, or Introverted Thinking, and Fi, or Introverted Feeling,ย  are both introverted judging functions, which subsequently makes them introspection functions. People with Ti or Fi as their dominant function tend to be over thinkers, when it comes to determining their personality type. They are prone [โ€ฆ]

Myers-Briggs Types in Bleach: Yoruichi Shihoin (ESTP)

in Anime/Manga MBTI Types

Bleach seems to have an issue with retconning, which Iโ€™m saying because Yoruichi as a cat appears to have a completely different personality than Yoruichi in human form. We were unsuccessful at reconciling the two, and deemed it an inconsistency. Thus, this typing will be limited to Yoruichiโ€™s actions in her human form. Her cat [โ€ฆ]
