Oota Jun'ya (ZUN) MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Oota Jun'ya (ZUN)? Oota Jun'ya (ZUN) is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/sx - 954 in Enneagram, RCUEI in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
He is an INTP I guess, actually I can't explain why. But, I'm seeing a lot of patterns and similarities across many INTP developers. This might be a stupid and somewhat unrelated comment, but bear with me. What I noticed from INTP developers is that they are highly influential to the gaming/internet culture as a whole (Could be because their Ti-Ne?), most of them tend to have lax rule on copyright (Probably Ne-Fe?), they love giving the fans creative freedom (Fe-Ne?), they have lots of dedicated fans (Si-Fe?), and the products/franchises they created tend to be community-oriented (Ti-Fe?). I mean, look at John Carmack, Gabe Newell, Toby Fox, and even ZUN himself if you don't believe me, they're all INTPs and they have all the similarities I've mentioned. So, I'm not sure about the explanation for his type, but I definitely see many patterns and similarities across prominent INTP developers.

ZUN developed the first five Touhou Projectgames for the Japanese NEC PC-9800computer series, with the first, Highly Responsive to Prayers, released in August 1997; the series' signature danmaku mechanics were introduced in the second game, Story of Eastern Wonderland (also 1997). The release of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in August 2002 marked a shift to Microsoft Windows.
