“Hikaru” MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is “Hikaru”? “Hikaru” is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - sx/so - 379 in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
let me preface this by saying that we need more content of him to be able to nail down a type, especially since he is playing the character ‘hikaru’ a lot of the time… it is difficult to discern what about his behaviour is this act and his actual personality. we can figure out that ‘hikaru’ and the real (deceased) one did have similar personalities, since yoshiki picked up that they were different from pronunciations and ‘hikarus’ knowledge (or lack thereof) of the world. this typing is of the entity that currently identifies as ‘hikaru’, over the real one. hrmm he displays typical so8 traits… protective, loyal, blind spot for his own need for love… i do not think he is a seven. i can see how one would say he is perhaps sx7, especially since the real hikaru was most likely one… sx/so, to be precise. however, ‘hikaru’ tends to show more eight traits. he shows distaste for authority and how the world of ‘entities’ works. we clearly see yoshiki as the ‘faction’ he is loyal to, over any form of real authority. he verbalises anger and is not afraid of confrontation by any means, even if he can be avoidant (for the sake of protecting others). he is fun loving, with a tendency to be impulsive. these all point towards a typical so8, perhaps with a tinge of naïveté due to his age and the fact that he is experiencing the human world properly for the first time. we have not had much content of how he handles leadership yet, but he definitely seems to be the most ‘active’ of him and yoshiki (not that it is difficult to be that…) onto his relationship with yoshiki, which is core to the plot and the personality and motivations of ‘hikaru’. he has stated that he feels love for yoshiki… which i will be interpreting as romantic, judging from the manga tags and a number of romantically charged interactions between the two. he is extremely protective of yoshiki and vows to grant his every wish, typical behaviour of an so8 towards their loved ones. he also suffers in the name of protecting yoshiki time and time again… once more, showing his so8 blind spot to his own needs. not to mention that he struggles to be vulnerable, unless it is with yoshiki. he will brush off any potential issue or injury, only allowing himself to cry when he is alone or sure that yoshiki is the only person present. he runs from his problems until they catch up to him, then he withdraws hard until he is able to present a ‘strong’ face to the world again. so he could easily be an so8, no? i may come back to this analysis after thinking about his tritype in more detail… he strikes me as 837 at first glance, but that could easily change mm
