Kamaitachi Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Kamaitachi? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Kamaitachi from Mythical Creatures and what is the personality traits.
ISTP (5w6)
Kamaitachi personality type is ISTP, not ISFP. The other three types that were listed were incorrect.
So, what type ISFP is? I’m not an expert, but I’ve been told by a few people in the know that ISTP is the most likely candidate.
I’ll also tell you I’ve never heard of anyone who is an ISFP who is also an INFP. In fact, I’ve heard of only one such case, and it is not well-known.
But, I haven’t heard of anyone who is an ISFP who is also an INFP either. I have heard of at least five or six cases where an ISFP was an INFP. So, I’m inclined to think ISTP is the most likely candidate.
As for Gaki no Tsukai, I have seen it listed as an example of a “kamaitachi” type of character. However, that didn’t really ring true to me. The main character’s type is apparently ISFP, but it doesn’t really fit the bill in many ways.
Kamaitachi operate in trios that follow a Thief, Fighter, Mage setup: the first one knocks down a traveler with a gust of wind, the second cuts the traveler with its sickle-like claws, and the third applies an ointment that stops the bleeding, leaving the victim with bloodless but inexplicably large and painful wounds. The reasons for this depend on the region, as while some believe that the scars they create on their victims are a part of a competition between them, others believe that they subsist on blood and feed from the cuts they make.
They're essentially the personification of the pain felt during a bitterly cold wind, and are Japanese culture's answer to a scientific phenomenon where shallow cuts appear on the legs of travelers in mountainous regions, believed to be caused by small debris carried by stray air currents. The British Medical Journal Spontaneous Wound Report even calls it "kamaitachi disease" after the beast of legend.
