Do you have a headcanon regarding Hange's mbti type? I always see different answers so I'm curious your take on it.
In her description, I actually have her down as ENTP, however, it doesnāt quite hit the nail on the head. As of right now, itās about a tie between ENTP and ESTP; so Iāve put Hange as both over at @leadheir. To break it down:
ENTPās, nicknamed the debater, are briefly characterized as smart and curious individuals who canāt resist an intellectual challenge. Sounds a bit familiar, yeah? āAn odd juxtaposition arises with Debaters, as they are uncompromisingly honest, but will argue tirelessly for something they donāt actually believe in, stepping into anotherās shoes to argue a truth from another perspective.ā In case itās unclear, Hange constantly looks at subjects from another perspective. Referencing her take on the titans and others constant misconception that she adores them. News flash: She doesnāt. But, donāt you think it would be very difficult to invest yourself in a subject if all you have towards that subject is hatred? She was wise enough to realize that her rage and so many othersā could no longer be used as a solution. But sheās also wise enough to realize that even looking at the titans from another perspective could still be fruitless; she addresses the fact and holds onto hope that it might help humanity regardless. (This references Chapter 17 and her conversation with Eren).Ā āDebaters, ā¦, are on a constant quest for knowledge, and what better way to gain it than to attack and defend an idea, from every angle, from every side?ā Iām sure you all recall Hangeās most popular quote of seeking knowledge to something one doesnāt understand, and it being well worth risk to their lives.Ā
Their qualities are very on the dot as well: Knowledgable, quick thinking, original, charismatic, brainstormers, and energetic. So none of these are where I find myself disagreeing. Itās in their weaknesses: Very argumentative, insensitive, and intolerance being the main traits. As weāve seen, Hange has a great deal of compassion, and while I agree that she can be reckless ā this rarely cancels out the care she has for her comrades. I will bring up the Ilseās Notebook OVA where Auruo is nearly eaten as a result of her speaking before she thinks. Do you really think she would have been able to live with herself if he had died by her own foolishness? Even afterwards, she apologized, deeply.Ā āNever take your life for granted.ā She admitted her mistakes, and I donāt doubt sheād criticised herself for awhile afterwards. Not convinced? Fine, reference chapter 84,Ā āI have people I wish I could bring back to life too, you know? Hundreds of them.ā Insensitive my ass. āSooner or later, everyone you have ever cared about will eventually die. Itās something we simply canāt accept. Itās a realization that could drive you insane. Itās painful, so painful. I know.ā She does not brush Mikasaās emotions aside, but chooses to sympathize with her, with all of them. Theyāre children still, she knows, but she needs them to understand that you canāt save everyone. And while somewhat cold, it doesnāt mean she doesnāt care. She remembers everyone sheās lost.
ESTPās, nicknamed the Entrepreneurs, are briefly described as smart, energetic, and highly perceptive people.Ā āWith perhaps the most perceptive, unfiltered view of any type, Entrepreneurs have a unique skill in noticing small changes. Whether a shift in facial expression, a new clothing style, or a broken habit, people with this personality type pick up on hidden thoughts and motives where most types would be lucky to pick up anything specific at all.ā Literally realized where Reiner and Bert would probably be heading when they kidnapped Eren. How the area where Eren was being held (after being kidnapped by Kennyās group) would probably look. Etc, etc. Thereās legit so many cases I canāt even name all of them. āIf Entrepreneurs arenāt careful though, they may get too caught in the moment, take things too far, and run roughshod over more sensitive people, or forget to take care of their own health and safety.ā I can give examples but I honestly feel thatās unnecessary.Ā āEntrepreneurs are full of passion and energy, complemented by a rational, if sometimes distracted, mind. Inspiring, convincing and colorful, they are natural group leaders, pulling everyone along the path less traveled,ā Sheās literally a Squad Leader, and now 14th Commander. No further explanation needed, I hope.
Qualities being: Rational, original, perceptive, direct, sociable. All very exact, imo. And Weaknesses being: Insensitive, impatient, risk-prone, unstructured, and defiant.Ā
Anyways, this got super long, uhhh, yeah. Basically, Hange, not insensitive, but like, all of these other things.
