ISTJ (6w5)
Inugami personality type is ISTJ, which is the personification of the yin to the yang. It is the stubborn, "old-fashioned" type that values logical consistency and organization, and is disciplined enough to follow procedures to the letter. It is reasonable, dependable, and sensible. It can be uptight and even rude at times, but is not nearly as boorish or obnoxious as other types.
Thinking of the ISTJ types in terms of the elements, they are like fire (the element of heat and energy), which can be very intense and demanding, but also very beneficial. They are practical and straightforward; they are capable of overcoming the obstacles that life throws at them.
The stronger element of fire is its potential to be destructive. If it is not balanced by its counterpart, water (the element of fluidity and rest), then it will quickly burn out its fuel, becoming the element of ash (stillness).
ISTJs are like the active fire in the flame of the fire-elemental's energy, while they are also like the cool water in its fluidity. The two parts are the active force in the flame, while they are also the passive support for its shape.
Inugami, like kitsunetsuki, is a spiritual possession by the spirit of a dog, widely known about in western Japan.
