Alan Wake Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Alan Wake? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Alan Wake from Alan Wake and what is the personality traits.
INTJ (6w5)
Alan Wake personality type is INTJ, which makes sense because that's how it was described in the book.
In the book, the INTJ character is a big fan of movies and the arts, as well as historical fiction and everything to do with crime and mystery dramas. In the game, he's very much the same, but also very much a wannabe writer – a "writer" – and a fan of journalism.
"I'm a very big fan of The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and a fine many other things. I have a PhD, but I don't do a lot of writing for a living. I'm a writer at heart. I love mystery and suspense. If you saw the book you would have been disappointed because it was not very interesting. I didn't have much to say about it."
"Writing is a hobby to me, not a career. I do it for fun."
It's interesting that he feels like he has to hide his writing hobby (and more importantly, his degree) by saying that he's not a writer at heart. The game, after all, is more about the mystery of the writer than the writer himself.
Alan Wake is an action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios, released for the Xbox 360 in May 2010, and Microsoft Windows in February 2012. The story follows best-selling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife's disappearance during a vacation in the small fictional town of Bright Falls, Washington, all while experiencing events from the plot in his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing, coming to life. In its pacing and structure, Alan Wake is similar to a thriller television series, with episodes that contain plot twists and cliffhangers. The game itself consists of six episodes, and the storyline is continued by two special episodes, titled "The Signal" and "The Writer", that were made available as downloadable content within the same year of the game's release. Together, they make the first season of a possibly longer story.
