I believe this is a clear example of INTP. All his mature films are tremendously ironic. I think he, unlike Miyazaki (who reaches nauseating levels of moralization), always tried to be objective and avoided villainous characters, in his works there normally is history going forward and more or less ignorant people trying to figure out how to respond to the changing circumstances. In "The Story of Yanagawa Canals" he neither praises nor criticizes civilization and shows that the canals are a product of both nature and human ingenuity. I remember discussing once about "Grave of Fireflies", I thought that the movie was an ironic tragedy, in the sense that the protagonists were responsible for their downfall, and that Takahata was secretly laughing at them, but my interlocutors didn't believe me. In the West, the movie is seen as an anti-war manifesto, but this is what Wikipedia says: "In his own words, 'it is not at all an anti-war anime and contains absolutely no such message.' Instead, Takahata had intended to convey an image of the brother and sister living a failed life due to isolation from society and invoke sympathy particularly in people in their teens and twenties." He was so self-aware and self-critical that even satirized his own ideology and the people who shared it (that is, communists) in "Pompoko".
