@Solfiner is better at this stuff compared to my MS Paint magic.
DUDE! I did this...I had this in my head the whole time I was swimming around too. lol
Whoa whoa whoa
Welcome to the thread!
Hmm...
I got this as my result:http://www.16personalities.com/
So I'm wondering what kind of people my fellow Shulk mains are. I've seen a lot of personality tests but this one is the best by far. It's super interesting, you should definitely check it out!

Role: Explorer.
I can answer that with a yes. I wasn't really feeling it at first either, but as I progressed and unlocked new arts, it got more interesting.
I've taken tests like this before. INFP master race!http://www.16personalities.com/

Took the test as I thought Shulk would respond and got ENFJ.
And then you were really feeling it?!
Yeah, it gets better. It's not very involved at first, but that will change.
Well according to 16 personalities I have the most intelligent personality type. intp
Disagree, for a few reasons. "unafraid to stand up and speak when they feel something needs to be said." I would say this conflicts with how Shulk does not speak up about the visions. Another example might be when he takes the Monado from Reyn, he has that big vision thing. He tells Reyn and Fiora that this has happened to him before. Lol, he never bothered to tell anyone about it?
Good points. Thinking back on my answers, it seems I've screwed up because Shulk develops as a character and I didn't just take his personality at one point in time. For example, you make some very good points that Shulk thinks with logic first and emotions second, a point I'd agree on, though he does rely on his emotions more later. For example, the Mechonis Core scene.
Wow, that's very close to my results. The only difference is that I have a slight preference for Introverted instead of Extraverted. I'm ISTP leaning about 14% towards the introverted side.
So Reyn would be ENFP? Like me, according to the test and my general opinion of me?Good points. Thinking back on my answers, it seems I've screwed up because Shulk develops as a character and I didn't just take his personality at one point in time. For example, you make some very good points that Shulk thinks with logic first and emotions second, a point I'd agree on, though he does rely on his emotions more later. For example, the Mechonis Core scene.
The logical thing to do would have been to kill Egil. Egil was a direct threat to Shulk's homeworld and his friends at the time, however, Shulk spares him out of mercy and an idealistic belief that the Machina and Homs can live in peace.
This would seem to suggest a more emotional personality, leading at least partially to me coming up with ENFJ from the test. "An empathetic and idealistic individual" indeed. Ultimately, for a full analysis of his personality, we'll have to look more at why he does things rather than what he does.
Permit me to clarify.
We'll need to go through all four of the categories presented by the tests.
Extroverted vs. Introverted
For one, Shulk definitely does spend a majority of his time alone in the lab. However, he also works well with his group of friends and is generally pretty helpful to the people he meets. He is slow to trust his friends with his visions, however. It seems he isn't really "shy" so much as he simply prefers to be alone. I think, in the end, he'd be an introverted character.
Sensing vs. Intuition
According to a few different sources, this basically boils down to how one perceives the world. Important to note is that this is not how one judges the world. Sensing individuals tend to observe pure hard facts, the individual details, while intuition individuals prefer the big picture. I feel like this places Shulk firmly in sensing territory. A good example is a heart-to-heart with Dunban in Satorl Marsh. The two discuss the beauty of Satorl Marsh, which immediately leads to Shulk describing just how it's formed. He sees more beauty in the ether that creates the sight than the pretty blue lights themselves. Reyn would be an intuition character. He can never see anything but the big picture, leading to him having a pretty good understanding of the other characters while being, for lack of a better term, "book dumb."
Thinking vs. Feeling
This is how someone comes to their decisions. Do they come to it just from what logically makes the most sense, or do they come to their decisions based on what feels right? As you pointed out, Shulk, in the beginning, is unconcerned about Fiora when the Monado's blade passes through her, suggesting a more thinking personality. Shulk later swears revenge on the Mechon, which is a more "feeling" type thing, though Reyn says this is out of character for him. Overall, though, I would say Shulk is more thinking than feeling. He's methodical in the vast majority of what he does. Going back on what I spoilered above, that scene shows a refusal to let his emotions of revenge get in the way of what is logically the best thing to do. Don't get me wrong, he has an incredible amount of empathy, but that's not why he
spares Egil and Metal Face. He spares them becausedespite his desire for revenge, he thinks it through and comes up with a new plan that is compatible with his empathy.
Reyn, on the other hand, is again a good example of "feeling." His desire for revenge is only lessened when Shulk explains his ideas, not when Reyn thinks things through on his own.
Judging vs. Perceiving
Judging individuals tend to prefer deadlines and strictness, while perceiving individuals can improvise and create new plans on the fly. I feel like Shulk would fit under perceiving, given his tendency to create new plans rather easily when someone throws a wrench in his old ones. A lot of his projects in the lab early on seem to be whatever he's in the mood for at the time. In one of the first cutscenes, he doesn't go out looking for part X, Y, or Z in the Mechon Scrapyard. He looks at the parts available and says "this would be great for X!"
So, in conclusion, I'd give Shulk an ISTP type personality.
"ISTPs love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. ISTPs are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, ISTPs find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before."
Yeah, that sounds like Shulk right there. ...Wow that is literally the exact opposite of what I came up with when I just plain took the test as him.
I'd say Shulk is rather cheerful and energetic (He's really feeling it!), and the "going with the flow" thing as well as the "Good at dealing with crisis situations" thing sounds a lot like Shulk using his future sight like he uses it! It's not like he has a lot of room to plan his stuff since his visions tend to be very vague at first and he needs to make quick decisions in Xenoblade multiple times, in the plot, in the battles...
Shulk seems more like a guy who instead of just having ideas, he sees something and all pieces of the thing he sees come together. Like not just his machines, but after watching the cutscene where they save Otharon, this is a pretty character-establishing moment. He just sees the crane and thinks "ah, that's it".
Shulk is quite chill, but he also worries about the future at the beginning. Let's think again about the Otharon scene. He worries about what they can do to save Otharon, but he instantly reminds himself of what Reyn said about changing the future. He doesn't get nervous at all and takes direct action, with sucess. I assume in that moment, he got a lot more confidence that he can change everything up, and he isn't all too worried about future events.
Definitely.
Already explained enough in points "Very creative and practical" and "Good at dealing with crisis situations" as well as "Relaxed".
He's... not exactly the guy who tells Reyn about the vision in Tephra Cave and then Reyn gets in danger as he just didn't knew about something Shulk did knew about *cough*
Can someone with more Heart-to-Heart knowledge confirm this? I expect Shulk to be like that, but I need some proof.
Shulk's relationship with Fiora in the beginning of the game is proof. He just says Fioras cooking is "good" and nothing more, and that kinda disappoints her. Also, that one Heart-to-Heart. He can openly say that Fiora and him wanted to marry eachother, and he bluntly says to her he "quite likes the idea", making Fiora pretty flustered.
Can someone with more Xenoblade experience confirm this? I do expect him to be like that, but I can't bring anything to the table here.
Same as above, really.
Reyn: But you did get on my nerves a bit back then. You were just too clever, man. It got under my skin.
Shulk: [You’re scared of spiders!] Reyn, are you OK? You don’t look so good.
From a heart to heart with Dunban:
I'm pretty sure all of us here would recommend it... We are the Shulk thread, after all. Though I don't see why you'd need to play it to play Shulk in Smash.
Oh, I'm just wondering if it's worth the investment. I prefer to at least be aware of the history behind the characters I'm playing as ahahah. >w<;;
Sounds like that would be the right myers briggs personality
But the issue with this is the myers briggs itself. Just because you fall under the same category as someone does not mean you have the same personality. First, there's the matter of how much of a trait somebody has. For example, Shulk's level of extroversion (or introversion, inversely) is very likely different from yours.In other words I'm the perfect Shulk player because I have the exact traits as him and we share the same personality ^_^
It's cool to jump in but it would be a lot better if you played Xenoblade
I thought I implied that, so yeah.
What? Is that what you think my point is?... I'm not stupid
If you can't get a copy, I highly recommend watching a playthrough or cutscenes. Also, the soundtrack... It's really, really good.
