*sigh* here we go again with the smart = E5 misconception on this site. Type 5s are intellectually driven, yes, but a lot of people forget that E7 is a head type too. Type 5’s motivation isn’t just about being smart. Their desire is to conserve their energy and to avoid being drained by the demands of the world. 5s set rigid boundaries against their environment for fear of being drained of their time, energy, or space. Where a 5 withdraws to hoard knowledge, a 7 will always ultimately channel their knowledge into outward engagement. This is where the confusion with intellectualism comes from. Their motivations and applications of it are fundamentally different. This girl actively throws herself into life-threatening mysteries for the thrill of adventurous problem solving, has no reservationens about butting heads with authority, and isn’t content with applying her intellect from the safety of her office. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department doesn't take too kindly to her getting involved in their cases. Yet she can't resist taking on the challenges headfirst because they are her source of stimulating opportunities to satisfy gluttony. E7 strongly dislikes feeling trapped or restricted in any way. Because of this they are a rebellious character. The scene where the chairman of the hospital warns Takao not to step beyond her jurisdiction and she gets so frustrated afterward she throws a fit is closer to E7's fear of being deprived than E5'S fear of being helpless or useless. We also see this in how she doesn't like being boxed into a single role even though she’s clearly a brilliant medical doctor. Her gluttony neurosis drives her to seek out novel and exciting experiences through ongoing criminal investigations where she leverages the knowledge she's cultivated in many different fields. She just overall fits the resourceful renaissance man type 7 archetype more.
