Attack on Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin)

 

Eren Jeager
ESTP
The Scoutmaster

"If you win, you live. If you lose, you die.

 If you don't fight you can't win."

Eren combines Explorer Intent with Driver Style like no other.  He has a focus on freedom, making an impact now and capitalizing on opportunities.  He is also very impatient, bold, and pushy,  mobilizing others with a sense of urgency.  He constantly does reality checks that ESTPs are known for. He will tell people the harsh truths about the current state of things, the immediate future. and how he thinks it should be fixed, based on his Logic (Ti). When he is not stuck into trying to change the external world, he is trying to make sense of things.  His Ethics (Fe) used to be cheerful and childlike when thinking about the ocean and what lied beyond the walls,  but as he suffered pain, and absorbed the suffering of his people, it became dramatic and bossy, blaming those who are coward or corrupt. His Senses (Se)  in the lead position makes him prone to action and comfortable with improvisation.  His Insight (Ni) in the Trainee gives him a general idea of what he wants, but not the steps to get there. That is something he develops as he grow into his  subconscious INFJ mind to build a vision for Eldians and align what he does to that end.  His ISTJ unconscious manifests when he is disciplined and obedient as a soldier, wanting to work with others.  Finally, his ENFP super ego comes out when he is centered on his emotions and values, and all sort of ideas about destroying his enemies seem worth of consideration.

Armin Arlert
INFP
The Dreamer

"If there's someone who can bring change,

 it will be someone willing to sacrifice what they care for."

Armin seems of  Idealist Intent, coupled with Supportive Style.  He is always looking for the ideal solution in which humans can get along.  The way he carries himself if very controlled, outcome oriented, and amiable, avoiding conflict. He displays leading  Morals (Fi)

with counselor Creativity (Ne).  His perception of the possibilities in the present and immediate future, together with his Memory (Si) and Efficacy (Te) that he has honed as an intellectual makes him a great problem solver.  His values are his own and as much as he cares for others, he usually does not push objective values on them. His subconscious ESTJ personality is his aspiration of becoming dependable and valuable to his community.  Similar to Tony Chopper in One Piece, who shares the same type, he wants to become a trustworthy man.  His ENFJ shadow shows when he is sensitive and empathetic, but also when he becomes dramatic,  emotionally expressive and even aggressive, to persuade others in extreme situations.  Lastly, his ISTP super ego comes out when he is willing to sacrifice or risk his body as an intense, focused action hero.

 

Mikasa Ackerman

ISTP

The Crafter

“This world is cruel... but is also very beautiful.”

It is difficult to deny that she values Senses (Se) and Insight (Ni). Mikasa is too focused and comfortable with jumping right into things. She is good at looking into the bigger picture and remind others to properly prioritize. She is Se over Ni because she is more of an improviser than a planner.  This results in her being an spontaneous Perceiver more than she is a structured Judger. Her natural behavior seems direct and attentive, Cautious Style. She values Logic (Ti) over Ethics (Fe) as she seems to be able to block her empathy for strangers with not a lot of difficulty and she follows her own reasoning with disregard for any common rationale. Her feelings are focused on Eren for the most part, and then her friends. She is emotionally more into others than herself. When she is under stress she becomes more expressive so that fits with her subconscious ENFJ and unconscious ESTJ sides of her mind. Core ISTP as a silent action hero (her default behavior), dual ENFJ as an expressive and direct leader with a good focus and vision (as when she thought Eren died), shadow ESTJ as tough protective mother that looks into the essentials for her family and community (this shows often as she scolds Eren) and last resort INFP as a dreamy, romantic sweet girl (like when she confessed her feelings to Eren). We can see all of these aspects of Mikasa so they seem like a good fit. She seems of Explorer Intent: An improviser, comfortable with risk, strong stimuli and doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. She also enjoys the beautiful expressions of nature and is a good tactician with an emphasis on good performance on the spot. 

Levi Ackerman
ISTJ
The Inspector

"This is just my opinion, but when it comes to teaching someone discipline,

 I think pain is the most effective way."

Levi has great shadow Senses (Se) at the Vigilante position. But, it is repressed by his Memory (Si), as he is usually following a plan. Levi is not usually an improviser, or looks for strong stimuli and sensory pleasure. He values a secure, orderly and clean environment. Counselor Efficacy (Te) with Critic Logic (Ti) fits too. He is practical and to the point, but with good understanding of the drawbacks and advantages of his methods. He isn't too sensitive but he is very positive about his own values and sentiments for the people he gets to care for.  His views on his comrades and his loyalty to the cause fits well with Guardian Intent. He is direct, attentive and collected which displays Cautious Style. His strong ESTP shadow focus is very evident in combat, showing amazing leadership and improvisation capabilities in extreme situations. Even building up character in his men or beating them up. If his shadow wasn't repressed by his ISTJ ego, he would be a bit more relaxed and loose on the rules and guidelines. More adventurous and would have a bit more fun.   His open minded, sympathetic side, in which he gives value to any decision a soldier could choose in a difficult situation, shows his ENFP subconscious.  Lastly,  we could say INFJ super ego manifests providing willpower and focus for the vision of saving humanity.  

 

Hange Zoë
ENTP
The Inventor

"Even if all we accomplished were small steps forward... 

We continued to give our lives if it meant that one day...

 humanity would be free from this terror."

Hange's behavior is clearly Inspiring Style, being cheerful, animated,  expressive and open to go beyond her comfort zone.  Her motivations are of Theorist Intent, looking for understanding, mastery and knowledge.   Her Hero Creativity (Ne)  makes her very experimental and curious to find the answers for her Counselor Logic (Ti)  to process.  She wants to make sense of what is going in the world, as crazy as it might seem to common people.   Her developed ISTJ subconscious is what makes here a reliable soldier that can follow and enforce rules and guidelines.  Her INTJ unconscious helps her create a convergent vision or plan that she can use to achieve her goals as an investigator and leader.  Finally, her ESFP super ego shows when she is emotional, fierce, and ready to risk herself as a last resort.

Erwin Smith
ENTJ
The Commander

"Does that mean life is meaningless? Was there even any meaning in our being born? 

Would you say that of our fallen comrades? Their lives Were they meaningless? 

No, they weren't! It's us who gives meaning to our comrade's lives! 

The brave fallen! The anguished fallen! The ones who will remember them are us, the living!

We die trusting the living who follow to find meaning in our lives! 

That is the sole method in which we can rebel against this cruel world! 

My soldiers, rage! My soldiers, scream! My soldiers, fight!"

Erwin is direct,  expressive, decisive and outcome oriented.  A clear Driver Style.  He is also pragmatic, systematic and abstract, with a focus on the bigger picture and a vision to achieve his goals. These show Theorist Intent.   He is mostly concerned with Efficacy (Te), his Hero cognitive function, to organize and mobilize efforts to realize a master plan, conceived with his Counselor Insight (Ni).  Everything that he does needs to align to this.   His plans use people in a cold manner, as tools, an his ways can be brutal and aggressive with his Senses (Se) but deep down it is for a higher purpose  within his Morals (Fi), so humanity can come out of the cycle of ignorance and death.  In his ISFP subconscious is where he looks to improve his values and connect with direct reality, so his understanding of the world is better.  With his INTP unconscious he is able to more carefully consider ideas to find solutions and the truth behind deceit. Lastly,  his ESFJ super ego manifests when he upholds honor, sacrifice and duty with a caring heart and a joyful optimism in the face of danger.

Reiner Braun
ESFJ
The Host

"I don't know what's right anymore

 But I do know that I have to face the consequences of my actions

 And carry out my duty as a warrior to the end!"

Reiner is a comforting companion, who connects with the feelings and values of those around him. He is warm and joyful, demonstrating Hero Ethics (Fe) and Inspiring Style.  He is also very duty driven,  with a difficulty to develop a perspective outside of what he has absorbed from the environment into his Counselor Memory (Si). This shows Guardian Intent. His Aspirer Creativity (Ne) is playful when he is not serious, and as he matures during the story, he uses it to understand other perspectives.  His Trainee Logic (Ti), together with his INTP subconscious are well developed for combat,  but not so much to distinguish right from wrong until later in his growth.  His ISFP  unconscious can be seen when he is amiable and relaxed, enjoying with his friends.   The conflict he has with his sins as a warrior, causes him to have a split personality with his ENTJ super ego that can only see the mission in a detached manner,  doing whatever needs to be done, with the decisiveness, willpower and ferocity.

Berthold Hoover
ISFP
The Artist

"You're Not A Soldier. We're Warriors."

Berthold is amiable, calmed, controlled and attentive, thus Supportive style.  He also goes with the flow, looking for opportunities to make a difference. He does not demonstrate any fixed structure, ideal or intellectual drive. He only adapts to the situation, and performs as best as he can.  Explorer Intent seems like the best fit for him, as well as Senses (Se) in the Counselor position.  He has no trouble separating his feelings from those around him, contrary to Annie and Reiner.  He doesn't absorb or push objective values from and to others.  He only does what he wants to do and let others do the same.  Morals (Fi) in the Hero position is a good fit for him. He aspires to Efficacy (Te) and completing the mission, becoming at some point the most decisive warrior among his companions from Marley.  In this attitude, his ENTJ subconscious manifests, and his Aspirer Insight(Ni) helps him focus and add his actions to a vision.

Annie Leonheart

INFJ

The Mentor

"You are saying that innately, all people are good, and if they were to just assume their nature, this organization wouldn't be so rotten, right? But in my opinion, the structure of the organization, the way it is set up is what provides insight into what the true human nature really is."

Annie is melancholic, intense, receptive and deliberate, demonstrating Cautious Style.  Displays deep understanding of the human nature and society, and seems to feel deeply about following a path of meaning and do the right thing. Something she know she isn't doing and makes see herself in a bad light.  She communicates with abstract speech. This fits well with Idealist Intent. She is not able to escape her Hero Insight (Ni) and has a hard time not connecting emotionally with others through her Counselor Ethics (Fe) , causing her to prefer avoiding interaction with the companions she knows cannot be friends with.  As a warrior, and soldier, her Trainee Sense (Se), together with her ESTP subconscious are well developed for combat and improvisation, in which she is smart and vicious. When she revealed herself in front of Armin, being emotional and playful, we can see her ENFP unconscious.  Her ISTJ super ego comes out when everything has failed and the only thing she has left are her most sacred duties, carried out with intense efficacy. This happens as she focus on the mission, his father and her upbringing.  

Ymir
INTJ
The Mastermind

“Do you always want to live hiding behind the mask you put up for the sake of others?

 You're you, And there's nothing wrong with that."

Ymir is calculating, more serious than relaxed,  conflict seeker and observant, demonstrating Cautious Style.   She seems to have a pretty good understanding of the big picture, and attempts to take advantage of the organizations she comes across in order to survive. This fits well with Theorist Intent.  Her Hero Insight (Ni) makes her usually devise a grand plan and have her actions go according to them, for the most part. She leaves little things to chance. She has good understanding of the thinking structure around her, to which he adapts through her Counselor Efficacy (Te).  Her Trainee Senses (Se) as well as her ESFP subconscious is shown often, when she laughs and has fun, and when she is forced to improvise in a tough situation.  Her ENTP shadow is also very strong with her sarcastic/trollish humor and when she picks up patterns quickly in her surroundings.  Her ISFJ super ego holds her dearest sentiments and memories, most of which are repressed and come to the surface for the ultimate sacrifice  when she is willing to give it all for them. 

Historia Reiss
ISFJ
The Protector

“Even if you have your reasons and there are things you can’t tell me,

 no matter what, I’m on your side.”

Although Historia will fight for what she thinks is right, she is mostly amiable, sweet, and a good listener. Supportive Style is her best fit.  On the motivation side, she seems to revolve around duty, belonging, stability and tradition. This demonstrates Guardian Intent, and in her case, goes well with Hero Memory (Si), which he uses to attend to the physical needs and comfort of others, together with  her Counselor Ethics (Fe) that makes her very responsible,  caring and in tune to what others expect from her. Her Trainee Creativity (Ne) allows her to think outside of the box and as she matures , she is able to design new solutions she is confident about, using with her Aspirer Logic (Ti), the gateway to  her ENTP subconscious. Her animosity and grace over unexpected situations is well explained with her unconscious ESFP .  Lastly, her INTJ  super ego comes to play when no pleasant solutions are available, other than the a rational vision of what needs to be done.  This shows when she discovers the truth about herself and Eren. 

Jean Kirstein
ESTJ
The Executive

“The future of humanity will be doomed. Having said that,

 I’m not about to sit around while we all get slaughtered.”

Jean is realistic and concrete, with a very strong emphasis on security and stability.  Guardian Intent is evident.   He is intense, bossy, expressive and outcome oriented,  demonstrating Driver Style.  He often fights with Eren because both are drivers, which tend to reach understanding through conflict. With his Hero Efficacy (Te)  he attempts to complete missions without miscalculations and considering the capabilities of his companions adequately.  Marco told him he was a good leader because of these qualities.   His Counselor (Si) helps him with this, using the tried and true, observing his team carefully and being methodical.  As with all well developed ESTJs, his idealistic and sentimental side helps him connect with others, accept other perspective and find peace after conflict, with his INFP subconscious.  This also shows in his romantic self with Mikasa.  His repressed ISTP unconscious is strong, and comes out when he is confident in his abilities to adapt and perform with precision, skill and focus. Lastly, his most repressed ENFJ side, his super ego, shows his ideals, with intense emotions, sensitivity and expressiveness, to set things rights. 

Sasha Blouse
ENFP
The Savior

"If we turn our back on hunting we turn our back on who we are."

Sasha is expressive, joyful and process oriented, demonstrating Inspiring Style.  Her motivations revolve around meaning,  identity,  and growth.  Idealist Intent seems like the best fit. She is said to be talented at operating unconventionally and with that being unfit for organized activity.  This, together with the fact that she is extroverted, suggests Hero Creativity (Ne). Her decisions doesn't seem to come from a place of reason, but from her values and whims. Counselor Morals (Fi) seems like good fit.  Her ISTJ subconscious shows from her attachment to the ways of her people and the Trainee Memory (Si) that holds her hunter habits.  Her liking to Meat and Potato as well as her instincts doesn't necessarily mean valued Sensation (Se) as she seems disconnected from reality for the most part and could be explained by her Devil Se and her ESFP super ego, that manifests by keeping her grounded, alert to her surroundings and in touch with her primal needs.  

Connie Springer
ESFP
The Performer

"I...want to become a soldier my mother would be proud of. 

So...let's go and save some people in trouble."

Connie is expressive, unfocused and enthusiastic, displaying Inspiring Style.  He seems concrete, present, performance and fun oriented,  dealing with situation as they arise, and getting bored with routine, which seems Explorer Intent. This, together with his initiating style, makes Hero Sensation (Se) a good fit.  Similar to Sasha, most of her decisions come from a place of values and whims. Although he likes to play around with his friends, often making jokes, he wishes to be appreciated and respected.  He is in touch with his emotions.   Counselor Morals (Fi) seems correct for him.  He sometimes recognizes he is not clever and at times make jokes about him being a genius.  His Aspirant Efficacy (Te) pushes him to find practical and simple solutions. His Trainee Insight (Ni) makes him want to understand the underlying patterns of events around him but has troubles doing so. His ISFJ unconscious shows when he is supportive and worries for his friends and duties. His INTJ subconscious manifests when he finally figures out patterns and that understanding allows him to plan ahead. His ENTP super ego is seen when he needs to think out of the box, or defend himself and become cold, creative, sarcastic and trollish. 

Marco Bodt
ENFJ
The Captain

"It's not like we're afraid to die... but...

 what the hell are we dying for?"

Marco is very insightful,  encouraging and seeks deep meaning in his actions. He is also a good judge of character and incites open communication and understanding. All of these demonstrates Idealist Intent.  Although he helps other realize and fulfill their potential,  his capacity to lead comes natural and that shows as he is given command of his own squad. This talent, as well as his intensity and expressiveness makes Driver Style a good fit for him. His orderliness, high empathy and soothing personality, that also becomes dramatic and persuasive when a serious situation comes up,  makes sense with Hero Ethics (Fe) , while his focus and acute big picture perception from people and situations seems right with Counselor Insight (Ni).   Him, wanting to give a good experience to others, being comfortable with intense situations and thinking on his feet comes from his Aspirant Sensation (Se).  Finally,  his intuition seems to have a good Trainee Logic support as he is said to be mentally sharp, so it is easy for him to figure out lies and analyze clues and patterns he comes across.  His ISTP subconscious shows when he is reasonable, analytical and in tune with the physical world during dangerous circumstances.   His INFP unconscious manifest when he is a receptive good listener with open perspectives and when he talks about his personal dreams and wishes.  His ESTJ superego shows up when the problem at hand requires outstanding discipline, procedure and execution with no room for mistakes and orders must be given without sugar coating. 

Zeke Jaeger
INTP
The Analyst

"So long as there are eldians, this hell will never end! If you don't do this now, this bloodshed will never stop. What we've repeated so many times will only continue for eternity."

Zeke is attentive, calmed, relaxed and takes his time for the best possible outcome, demonstrating Supportive Style.  He is also pragmatic,  complex, with a focus on mastery and knowledge.  He has a talent for Strategy, which displays Theorist Intent.  His Hero Logic (Ti)  coupled with Advisor Creativity (Ne) makes him a deep thinker with unique ideas and a dark sense of humor.  His Devil Morals (Fi)  together with his Trainee Ethics (Fe)  manifests as being devoid of principles and prone to manipulation with his ESFJ subconscious.  His ENTJ unconscious shows when he commands others with a single vision built in his Critic Insight (Ni) and carried out with coldness and structure by his Vigilante Efficacy (Te). His core ideals, intensity and bravery resides in his ISFP super ego, that he will go into in desperate situations to adapt to the environment, survive and carry out his desires.

Grisha Jeager
INFJ
The Mentor

"I should've known just how sinful it is for parents to indoctrinate their own children."

Grisha is collected, direct, with deliberate decisions and focused energy, which demonstrate Cautious Style.  He is also righteous, insightful,  with a focus on meaning, significance and benevolence. This resonates with Idealistic Intent.  His Hero Insight (Ni)  with Counselor (Fe) makes him a visionary with deep focus and empathy. He is willing to bring new objective values to the world with the help of his Aspirant Logic (Ti) and Trainee Sensation (Se)  from his subconscious ESTP  that gets into action valiantly with a good understanding of how things work and can be deconstructed.  His son Eren, inherited this ESTP personality type, interestingly.   His ENFP subconscious is what allows him to be creative in the construction of his vision and understand his own sentiments. His ISTJ super ego holds his core values, impression that use harsh methods to bring order when everything else has failed.   

Hannes
ISFP
The Artist

“You couldn’t save your mom because you… weren’t strong enough.

 I didn’t face the Titan… because I wasn’t brave enough.”

Hannes is laid back,  attentive and difficult to get out of his comfort zone.  He seems to be Supportive Style.  His core motivations seems to be around fun, going with the flow,  adapt and perform gracefully in the moment,  which shows Explorer Intent. His Hero Morals (Fi) makes him mostly concerned with his own enjoyment and interests, only going out of his way when someone in his inner circle needs help.  His Counselor Sensation (Se) makes him adept at assessing the situation,  consider his limits and act appropriately. He isn't too worried about the state of world when the story begins. He then grows to become braver and risks more for the sake of his values.  His ENTJ subconscious arises when he becomes serious, focused and the sum of his experiences converges into a vision of what most be done, and in the most practical and efficient way.  His ESFJ unconscious is caring and protective of his friends and community.  Lastly, his INTP super ego can think out of the box and conceive solutions he would never try in normal circumstances.
