I'm quite into MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), and if the characters from Phoenix Wright would fit into any category. I suspect that Phoenix is an ENFP, which always tends to improvise and act before thinking, and Edgeworth being an INTJ, with carefully laid traps and not doing well in social circumstances. I'm interested in your thoughts.
:phoenix:

- ENFP

-INTJ

- Not sure, with him being clueless and all.
Care to elaborate? I have to say I'm not very good at this, being a beginner and all.

I've seen character analysis of these before. I'm an INTJ, so rock all over that.

One of the things to remember is that N is only about 20% of the population, whereas S is about 80%. People tend to think N is somehow 'better' than S, which is simply not true. They just ARE.

:edgeworth:

- While I can see the INTJ angle, I can also see him being an ISTJ, very strongly. He has a reverence for the letter of the law, rather than the spirit, that can be somewhat maddening and is very much a sensory trait. He's brilliant and seems rather intuitive, but sometimes linear thinkers who think extremely quickly can resemble intuitors. And ISTJs can be plenty socially-awkward and bothered by emotional issues.

:phoenix:

/

- He strikes me as a little more introverted, but he's not an extreme leaner in either direction. He may be closer to an xNFP (x noting somebody is pretty close to median preference, so a hybrid of ENFP and INFP).

:udgy:

- ESTJ. Since we do not see him outside the courtroom, however, it is damn hard to tell.

:maya:

- Very strong ESFP.

:pearl:

- She strikes me as an INFJ or an INFP.

:youngmia:

- SHE is an example of an INTJ or ENTJ.

Yeah, I've also noticed that a strangely high percentage (as in, you see noticeably more of them there than in real life) of iNtuitives tend to congregate on forum sites (because lots of people post their results to MBTI-based online quizzes...and I do a lot of lurking). Totally unrelated to Phoenix Wright, but intereresting nonetheless. And I'm an INTJ, too, Trench Kamen.

Now, how about those Apollo Justice characters?

:minuki:

- Definite ESFP. Probably about the easiest to determine here.

:kyouya:

- Either ENFP or ESFP

:odoroki:

- INFP, probably

Hmm, I'm an ENFP, so it's nice to meet you people. I've only got into it recently, and it's quite fascinating, I must add. Let's do more then.

:karma:

- INTJ, most likely. He organized the perfect crime and all, and he seems introverted.
:godot:

- ENTJ, decisive, extroverted.

Yeah, we had a MBTI discussion in another forum, and there is an unusually high percentage of iNtuitives involved in various aspects of fandom. It's supposed to be roughly 15% of the population. Then again, I notice a lot of iNtuitives in sci-fi and fantasy characters, probably because sci-fi and fantasy writers are themselves largely iNtuitive and project their mental processes onto their characters.

No. He's too organized and uptight. He's a very strong J.

Well, I suspect I'm an INTP,
and I seriously don't think Edgeworth is. Sorry.

Edgeworth is definitely not a INTP, because he is a judger. He doesn't leave things up to chance. You can see that from his stunned look whenever Phoenix says something unexpected. Hmm, Klavier does seem ENFP, now that I think about it. He shares this trait, "They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives."

Godot should be an ENTP, sorry. He seems rather good with improvising, and very, very smart. He's definitely outgoing, with the way he teased Mia and all. You can see that.

Yup. I also don't think he's much of an intuitor, but that's just me. I think he's more of an ISTJ.

Yup. Diego / Godot is an excellent example of ENTP, or even ENTJ.

Hmm, why don't we start with the supporting characters in the game then? Iris is a classic example of an INFJ, introverted, idealistic(wanting to change her sister), very feeling and she is quite decisive, as seen when Godot talked to her about the Misty Fey incident. Lana should be an INTJ. Introverted, very cool and logical, very decisive and she seems initutive, to me at least. Franziska should be an ESTJ or an ISTJ. We know she's not very initutive, a great thinker(she's a prodigy for heaven's sake), and decisive, like Edgeworth, not leaving things up to chance. I'm not sure about her extroversion though. She seems much more extroverted than Edgeworth did. Manfred Von Karma should be an ENTJ, definitely. He plans ahead. That puts him almost surely into initutives. The rest is self-explainatory. Gant should be an ESTP. Extraverted, Doesn't plan ahead, as seen in 1-5, Thinking and he procrastinates. That's the feeling he gives me.
