I've been searching the internet looking for a definitive list that was actually accurate, but all i can find is a bunch of people who have no idea what they're talking about, and insist upon speaking like they do.

The main idea here is to also give REASONS why we think the way we do, so as to come to a general consensus. thank you
PLEASE POST YOUR THOUGHTS SO THAT WE MAY REACH THE TRUTH. I WANT TO KNOW IF I'M WRONG

Yusuke - ESTP
- classic definition of an ESTP. the "doer" , the "bad-boy"Yusuke definitely lives in his Se. He takes things literally for what they are and lives in the present through his 5 senses. He makes decisions based on logical thought patterns, a clear T, and on top that works out these thoughts in his internal world Ti. He does have sudden spurts of compassion though (his tertiary Fe), and when it comes to careful and meticulous forethought and big-picture viewing, hes often left in the dust (inferior Ni)

Kuwabara - ESFJ or ENFJ (help please)
The big problem for me here is the s versus n. He is clearly an EFJ, he makes decisions based on his feelings and centers himself upon goals and morals. He has an unshakable moral value system and fights for love and honour. Now i would intially think he is an iNtuitive, because of his literal ability to go beyond the 5 senses. He senses spirits etc and gets "hunches or feelings" about situations, but at the same time, usually lacks insight into a present situation, furthering the idea that he is more detached and in the clouds than an s. neverthelesss he does exhibit strong sensing qualities.

Hiei - ENTJ
sure, he spends time alone in the wilderness, but this guy is basically the definition of ENTJ. goal/task oriented, gives no weight to emotions and makes every decision off of pure logical analysis, and quick to see the relationships between different opportunities and events. I get the ENTJ especially from his determination to "share" his NTJness with the world by taking it over (during his first encounter with Yusuke) and he definitely lives primarily in his Extroverted Thinking, not circumspect in saying what he thinks regardless of people's (especially kuwabara's) feelings.

Kurama
strangely enough these are two separate personalities and identities
Suichi Minamono (human form) - INFP
- idealistic, guided by a moral compass, isn't hesitant to share his feelings on a subject and makes many decisions based off of his F, concerned with those around him. Now, Kurama is a very interesting character as his two identities are not completely separate. In fact, as it is the newer personality it forms a sort of thin covering over his initial self the:

Yoko Kurama (demon form)- INTP (or xNTP)

Indeed this comes out in some aspects of his human form. Even though his human form is guided by his feelings, the Ti will sometimes shine through, revealing clues as to the original identity of Kurama. "Cold and calculating" holding back brash actions, controlling his emotions and showing patience in planning, Yoko is the epitomy of an INTP. At the same time, guided by his Ti, where he formulates all of his plans, he still shows a remarkable ability to connive and manipulate the situation in the manner of the xNTP. He has the ability to plan multiple steps ahead (N) and questions the world around him as an intp does. I first thought him to be an ENTP, besides the more obvious representation of the FOX (the ENTP's animal), he has an uncanny ability to persuade others and have them join in his causes. his E shows in his power to charm others aswell as his desire to influence his external world by robbing excessively, and impact the world around him, confirm his role as an ENTP. My solution was to merge the two, as he does live prmiarily in the state of INTP, but does show significant flashes of ENTP-dom in his interactions and manipulations with others. The XNTP - a mix of both

Ah, now that I think of it -- Hiei may very well be an ENTJ (cognitively). His Te definitely does outshine, whenever he has goals. Though he seems too much an aimless drifter/wanderer and doesn't have particular desires to control anything beyond his limited goals (with exception to his first appearance).

He does use his Se a considerable amount -- and no I'm not just referring to fight scenes. Despite his painted attitude, he's quite the showman.

He doesn't plan too long-term as an INTJ would, and he doesn't seem to use his Ni anymore than -- what you proposed it to be -- for auxiliary purposes.

He clashes most with Kuabarra and Yusuke, mostly chastising them for not thinking or acting too quickly -- preaching a certain order/nudging them to conform to a standard of thought.

You've converted me from believing him INTJ to ENTJ.


As for Kurama -- he's an INFJ.

He is the more long-term planner, likely to see several steps ahead -- but his goals and purposes always seem to be for the sake of others. He's almost clairvoyant at reading people, understanding their true intentions/passions/psychological weaknesses -- the penultimate example of Ni+Fe.

Kurama is an Fi user, not an Fe user

How is Kurama an Fi user? When his entire character is built around service and understanding to others? When he sacrifices his well being to save those he cares about consistently? When he has a strong sense of rules and follows them to the best of his abilities?

When he's extremely patient and focuses on one thing at a time? Follows a linear thought process? Is clairvoyant?

It's all Ni + Fe. He also analyzes problems with Ti.

Hello there,

I realize this is an old post, but I was bored and I hope this helps.

Yusuke: ESTP, I agree with you one hundred percent.

Kuwabara: ESFP. Tradition and moral judgement are a typical characteristic of SJ types, but I'm going to go into a more functional analysis here for the sake of accuracy. The use of his Se and Fi is the name of the game here. A person who is a dominant user of Fe (such as ExFJs) will go out of his or her way to take care of the other person's feelings. Kuwabara doesn't do this, instead he bases his actions on an inner value system, in other words, Fi, (which you had originally pegged as a characteristic of Si). These actions are manifested through Se, hence his love of fighting. An Fe user typically doesn't seek out fights where fights aren't strictly warranted. As for the iNtuitive side demonstrated in the show--a la his sensitivity to ghosts--is more of a supernatural ability than a quirk of personality.

Hiei: ENTJ. I really want to call him introverted, but hats off to you. Te comes first with him.

Kurama: INFJ. Your description of (human) him matches an Fe user to perfection, not Fi. In fact, Kurama is an exemplary INFJ, both in type analysis and general behavior throughout the show. Ni, being the dominant function here, Kurama shows deep insight and dissects it through the use of Fe, or by being a tactful adviser.

The interesting thing here with Kurama though, is the two separate forms. Even though they are separate, I'd like to point out that they are still (essentially) the same person, and here's where we venture more into the territory of opinion. Feel free to disagree with me on this one, but here's my theory:

The Yoko side of Kurama's character is a flawed, younger, and less developed version of an INFJ personality. What you described as a characteristic of xNTP-- the "ability to persuade others and have them join in his causes"--is actually just a characteristic of Ti and Fe in action, which can be seen in xNTP as well as INFJ, while his "desire to influence his external world by robbing excessively, and impact the world around him" can be explained by Se, the inferior function of INFJ. The coldness of the Yoko character can also be explained by external situations that have caused him to develope Fe and Ti unevenly (a la nurture vs. nature).

Anyway, I hope this was helpful :)

Because that's not how functions work. "E" refers to the extroverted function, not whether the person is extroverted or not. For example, there is such thing as an introverted ENTP (I get that result frequently on function tests).

It's true that this makes it very confusing, especially since tests usually don't screen for that kind of thing and just go by trying to label the letters individually.

As an INFJ I have to say myself that yes, Shuichi is definitely one, but Yoko Kurama is one as well.
It's not that a cold INJ is necessarily a T. INFJs when mad are most likely the most ruthless and least compassionate of all types.
Also, the more we use the tertiary Ti, the less empathetic we become. Shuichi is an INFJ that listens to that Fe and Yoko Kurama is an INFJ that doesn't.

Thank you so much, dude. People don't even understand what the fuck the INFJ type even is like, and so they mistype fictional INFJs a lot...

I'll help you. Kuwabara is ESFP. He's not ESFJ like some people think, acts like an SP and haves like one, not a hint of SJ tendencies in him. Se, street punk stereotype like Yusuke who's ESTP. Here's the rest
Yusuke ESTP
Kuwabara ESFP
Kurama INFJ
Hiei INTJ

This probably won't be a very popular opinion, but I don't recall seeing any signs of Ti in Yusuke. He appeared T-like alot but only ever in rigid, black and white Te way. Plus, at the beginning you see his general lack of character, morals, jaded viewpoint... suggesting that he wasnt all that healthy of a personality anyway. He was an angry, defiant, selfish kid which could happen to any type. Yusuke's defiance of authority also strikes very Fi-Te, because typically they'll be the ones to openly and publicly defy on principle.. As if they're going out of their way to publicize their defiance. Ti users in similar situations just kind of ignore everyone and do whatever which eventually calls attention to their behavior. They're not typically sticking it to the powers that be unless cornered or directly provoked. The way Yusuke handled authority struck me as a jaded Fi versus a natural Ti. I also don't remember seeing any signs of Fe awareness of others, or smooth talking/social manipulation which is common for the tertiary Fe users...

I'm thinking that Yusuke was in an Se-Te loop or at least crutching heavily on Te, and the show develops his Fi. His values always come out in a very Fi way, much like many other anime lead protagonists. He does the moral outrage, shock at the heartlessness of others, very vocal about proclaiming what's right and wrong, and etc. Ti users don't typically get shocked by evil behavior nor do they feel the need to vocalize their values constantly like Fi. (note: I'm not saying that Ti users won't have values.)

As for Kuwabaraa, I agree with those that say he is an Fe dom. I think calling him an esfp is stereotyping him based on the role he's playing rather than his personality/behavior. He struck me as lead Fe, considering how his values surface, the way he dealt with others, always kept a group around... Etc. And the show seems to play off alot of Ni stereotypes and apply them to him, making him the spiritually sensitive and aware person in the group. Seems ENFJ to me.
