~casually revives thread~
Alright, so after typing all of the characters on my own whilst watching playthroughs of all three ME games, then reviewing this thread, here are my typings:
Admiral Hackett: ISTJ. I'm all ears to another typing, since he didn't make much of an impression on me...but then again, I have found that ISTJs tend not to make an impression on me in general.
Aria T'loak: ENTJ. Controlling, logical, amoral. I'd hear an explanation for INTJ as well.
Ashley Williams: ESTJ. She seems too aggressive to be an ESFJ, but I'd hear an explanation. Still, she seems to have SJ values, and does not seem lighthearted or casual enough to be ESTP.
Urdnot "Eve" Bakara: INFJ. Mysterious, quiet, idealistic, serious, inspiring. Listen to her speech in ME3 on Tuchanka to see her grand vision of the Krogans' future.
Conrad Verner: ENFP. He is driven by a romanticized vision of himself as Shepard, and is way too optimistic for the ME universe.
Councilor Udina: ENTJ. His blunt impatience seem very Te-dom. I'd hear ESTJ as well, but he strikes me as an N for some reason.
Diana Allers: ESFJ. Personable, not really that much of a dreamer. Next.
EDI: INTJ. Logical, conceptual, sarcastic, acts like a practical (J) computer (INT).
Garrus Vakarian: ISFP. I had him down as INTJ at first due to his style of sarcasm, but after reviewing his actions in ME1/2, I found that he seems to have just the right combination of recklessness and idealism to be an ISFP.
Urdnot Grunt: ESTP. I saw him as an introvert at first, due to his flat tone of voice, but he seems driven primarily by Se with his bloodlust.
Illusive Man: INTJ. Strategic, logical, stubborn, driven by a grand vision of the future. Probably not ENTJ--he willingly became indoctrinated because his vision was more important than his control...but then again, that could have been the indoctrination deciding for him. Hm.
Jack: ISFP. I thought ESTP, but now that I think about it, her toughness was situational rather than innate. I doubt she's ESFP, based on her broodiness, but SP seems certain.
Jacob: ISTJ. He chills in the background, dutifully doing his job while looking mildly worried most of the time. The latter tends to be an IS_J thing, from my experience.
James Vega: ESTP. Clearly Se-dom, and he seems T, though I'd hear an argument for F.
Javik: ISTJ. I would also hear ISTP, but he does not seem laid-back enough, and I've always seen his kind of fatalistic cynicism as an ISTJ thing.
Jeff "Joker" Moreau: ESFP. I'd hear T, but we seemed to have reached consensus on this one (LOL C WUT I DID THAR)
Kaidan Alenko: ISTP. I don't know him very well and would gladly hear any argument against that.
Kelly Chambers: ENFJ. Sociable, and she "provides counselor support and monitors the psychological state of Shepard and the crew" (from the wiki). In other words, her job is to understand everyone and how they feel, which she does cheerfully.
Legion: INTP. Someone call me out if this is total BS, but I based him being INTP and EDI INTJ primarily on the fact that I find his mannerisms adorable but not EDI's. I have actual reasons too, I think, if you want to hear them.
Liara T'Soni: ISFJ. Okay, I'm probably in the minority here, but here me out. I will provide an explanation at the end of this post as to why she is ISFJ rather than INTP.
Miranda Lawson: ESTJ. I initially thought ENTJ, but her loyalty to her family seemed to imply SJ. I would happily hear an argument in favor of ENTJ or INTJ, though.
Mordin Solus: ENTP. I call him an extravert because he doesn't seem to have that "where am I" detachment from the situation that IN_Ps often adorably display.
Nyreen: INFP. I guessed her as an ENFJ initially due to her unyielding reformer mentality, but either of the F>N>S>T types fit that description.
Rachni Queen: INFP. Yeah, it's weird that I included her, but she's interesting to me. Anyway, her complete detachment from any semblance of realism or practicality combined with her big-picture worldview and her focus on her children seem to imply INFP. I'm probably wrong on this one, if someone wants to correct me.
Samara: ISTJ. The Duty Fulfiller. Everything she does adheres to her Si Code, and she has no problem killing people if the Si Code says that it's a good thing--which it usually is.
Saren Arterius: INTJ. "We organics are driven by emotion instead of logic. We will fight even when we know we cannot win... Do not sacrifice everything in the name of petty freedoms...The visions cannot be denied" To me, at least, he screams INTJ.
Shepard: EN_J. Most would agree that Paragon is F whereas Renegade is T, and I would posit that Shepard is always an EJ (and probably an N, because I can't see him as an ESFJ even for Paragon).
Lt. Steve Cortez: ISTJ. Hardworking, quiet soldier. Next.
Tali-Zorah: ISTJ, though hers is another type that I am extremely uncertain about. Her dedication to her people seems very Si to me, though.
Thane Krios: INFJ. Mystical, spiritual, wise, takes life seriously, deeply emotional.
Urdnot Wreav: ESTJ. Traditional, no-nonsense leader who seeks power and order.
Urdnot Wrex: ISTP. Blunt, logical, laid-back, realistic, is funny, does not give a single fuck.
Zaeed: ESTJ. See Wreav's description.
Liara as an ISFJ: She is highly averse to the kind of casually amoral humor that most Ps are fond of. For example, let me break down this conversation she had with Joker:
"Dr. Liara T'Soni: Joker, really, I have work to do! [Si > Ne...?]
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Come on it is just a simple question.
Dr. Liara T'Soni: Then look it up on the extranet. [Dismissive of his curiosity]
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: You can't believe everything you find on there. Its more reliable to ask a friendly asari.
Dr. Liara T'Soni: I'm not telling you if my 'hair tentacles' move! [She is offended by his curiosity, and if you see the video clip of this, listen to the clearly emotional tone of her voice]
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Fine. Deny me the answer I've been seeking for years, With this war on, we could die any second you know...
Commander Shepard - Male: [Support Joker] You know he's going to keep bothering you until you tell him.
Dr. Liara T'Soni: They're semi-flexible cartilage based scalp-crests that grow into shape. And they don't 'flop around'. [Description is memorized in detail rather than explained in general conceptual terms]
Jeff 'Joker' Moreau: Yes! Thanks Liara. I gotta tell Vega I was right.
Dr. Liara T'Soni: Well at least he's making friends. [The only value she finds in this interaction was not in the exchange of knowledge (Ti/Ne) but in the social interaction (Fe)]"
Another interaction, this time with Matriarch Aethyta on her relationship with Shepard:
"Matriarch Aethyta: It was pretty clear she was leaving. Can't be the wise counselor when you're married.
Dr. Liara T'Soni: Why not?
Matriarch Aethyta: Sex appeal. Most species only pay attention if they want to have sex with you. So you have to be available, mysterious...
Dr. Liara T'Soni: What? That's not true! Shepard listens to me! [Offended by the prospect that their relationship is casual, or anything but sincere]
Matriarch Aethyta: And how many times have you popped his thermal clip?
Dr. Liara T'Soni: Do you have to make it sound so... tawdry? [Clearly not a fan of casual sex, or casual-ness in general.]
Matriarch Aethyta: If it's all civilized, you're not doing it right. "
Talking with Shepard about their relationship:
"Dr. Liara T'Soni: Shepard, listen. I'm... glad you're here.
Commander Shepard: You worried there might be terminals you need me to hack?
Dr. Liara T'Soni: That's not fair! You were dead! [Offended/worried by the prospect of their relationship being unemotional and purely functional]
Commander Shepard: I came back!"
To be fair, most of these arguments could just as easily pin her as INFJ, which is what I initially thought of her as.
....how long did I spend on that post? 0_o
