My guess is INFJ. Sans is quiet, behind the scenes, and perceptive. He also does the whole "judgment" before you fight Asgore, which strikes me as Ti-weighing your "sins" and Fe placing a judgment on you. During the fight there is also the "you feel your sins crawling on your back" line, smells like Fe making you feel as opposed the more passive Fi. I've seen ENTP but I don't quite see it. He's spontaneous and loves pranks, but I don't feel like he looks at things from an analytical perspective in the same way that XNTPs type usually do. I guess I could see Ne/Si over Se/Ni, but I don't get an "overall feel" that he is ENTP (which, I know, is never solid grounds for judging a type, but I just can't see it).

Anyway, agree or disagree that Sans is INFJ?

I would say INTP and it's a shame nobody commented on this before.

Asgore everybody else, I'd say

Papyrus: ESFJ
Undyne: ESFP
Toriel: ISFJ
Asgore: INFJ
Asriel/Flowey: INTP (cause why would an INTJ be so chaotic and emotionally underdeveloped?)
Alphys: INFJ
Muffet (AKA Spider Waifu): Not sure
Frisk: ISTP
Chara: ENTJ
Mettaton: ESTP
W. D. Gaster: INTJ

Sans is actually an ESTP. Papyrus is an ISTP and Frisk is an unhealthy INTJ. At the beginning of the game, they're all stuck in the underworld so they're forced to be their opposites, so Sans seems INFJ, Papyrus seems ENFJ and Frisk seems ESFP. :wink:

Sans is an ENTP, clearly. Sans was originally a creative scientist who worked with Gaster, Sans is definitely not an introvert but types 9w8 and 5w6 as the strongest fixes, which are known for being introvert alike types. Sans doesn't use a strong Fe naturally but developed such as he used to be happy with an unknown social cell, and the insights are more of the ability to control the timelines rather than Ni insights. If you compare Papyrus and Sans interactions, it doesn't resemble in any way to an ESFJ-INFJ relationship but most likely to an ESFJ-xNTP one.

BTW, there's already a Undertale thread. Feel free to contribute it with your charts.

Lesson: If you cross an INFJ you're most likely "Going to have a bad time".

Sans definitely uses Fe over Ti but his Ti is very developed. Sans does not use Ne. Sans is more focused on the underlying cause of things rather than the possibilities of the outside world. Just by observing you Sans can see that you are the anomaly. And understand why you are doing it. His Ni and Fe know your true intentions. Sans is still logical. That's where is Ti comes in. While naturally loving, when needed Sand can put all empathy aside. Sans is very observant. Just by looking at your face and expressions(Se and Fe) he can then make an abstract awnser about how many times he killed you.

Could you elaborate on this more? I struggle to see how Papyrus uses Ti as his dominant function, and how Sans use Se as a dominant function for that matter. Papyrus's decisions seem to be almost entirely feeling based...

Well, when I say ISTP, I meant SLI, not LSI. I'd change my typing of Sans to ESFP. I'm not sure or remember why I typed Sans as ESTP.

Does that answer your question or do you need me to elaborate more?

Interesting... however, I fail to see Papyrus using Si as a dominant function either - I think he uses strong Fe and Ne, which makes me think he's a looping ESFJ, but I can see where you're coming from.

As for Sans, I originally thought of him as an INTP, but I think I'm sold on him being an INFJ, and him having inferior Se makes sense to me.

Hm, I can see your point about Papyrus being ESFJ but I always attributed it to him not being an especially healthy character. I can definitely see where you're getting Fe from. His speeches are practically Fe on overdrive. For some reason, some kind of STP seemed accurate for Papyrus but I'll consider ESFJ as well.

People like to say Sans is INFJ but I'm honestly not seeing it. He's a live-in-the-moment type of person and not exactly the type of person to be living in his head. A lazy Se type of some sort seems accurate for him, IMO. I happen to think he's an ESFP. What would be the reasons for Sans being INFJ, in your opinion?

My opinion on Sans being a Ni dom was his perceptiveness and deepness (I know other types can have these qualities as well though). He's easily able to pick up on the player's motives and reads people very well. He's also very deep and insightful, and doesn't do anything because he sees no meaning in it since the timelines will reset anyway.

I also don't see much Fi in him, but I see a lot of Fe. He seems to feed off the positive emotions of others, which is why he's so eager to please Toriel (and others) with his puns.

Sans doesn't really seem to live in the moment to me. Though he indulges in sensory pleasures quite a lot (ex: sleeping, eating), Sans doesn't seem to pay any attention to the moment, and would rather nap all day instead of partaking in any physical activities.

This was probably a poor argument on my part but I'm sure someone else can explain it a lot better. :wink:

Sans has always come off as a cheesy/corny character to me as evident by his voice and his use of puns. It always seemed to me that the player isn't supposed to take Sans very seriously until near the end of the game when as an opponent becomes rather difficult. Due to his clownishness, a seeming uncaring attitude for negativity and a general attitude of irreverence makes me think SP for him. I guess I can understand why people say INFJ though.

Yeah, it's difficult to say really, because IMO, he never really reveals anything deep or profound about himself. All the player gets are mostly trivia about him.

Toriel seems ISJ and seems to enjoy his antics. I'm not sure what that might prove but I don't know, perhaps an SJ would enjoy the silliness of an SP and his jokes? Again, it's difficult to say since the characters are somewhat 2-dimensional, IMO.

I just realized I confused the dates. Rather than 4 days, I thought it took months for someone (me) to reply, but now I realize just how much stupid that actually is, given there's no 20th month.

Yeah, except I clicked on this from the main forum page, which usually shows the newest posts of the moment one opened/refreshed the tab.

I feel Sans is INFJ-T Extroverted

I use to compare myself to others like Sans and he's really relatable because I am also INFJ-T but Introverted. There is video about subtypes of INFJs
Subtypes:
  1. Introverted
  2. Ambiverted (Annoying type)
  3. Extroverted
Why he's extroverted? Because some INFJ mistakenly as extroverts. Yes some people think Sans is ENTP that explains it!
Sorry, this is only I could type right now. Yep, pretty less evidence :cry:
