Smash Bros. MBTI

[MarioManTAW]

I was thinking about MBTI (a popular personality test) and Smash, and I got the idea that playstyles could be connected to MBTI personalities. I created this chart based on the following rough comparisons:
E (close combat) vs. I (projectiles/spacing)
N (reads/timing) vs. S (reaction/repetition)
F (defensive) vs. T (aggressive)
J (specialization) vs. P (adaptability)
I picked the types based on minimal watching of tournament matches, so they may not be 100% accurate. If you think there may be a character who is placed incorrectly, please comment below!
I also divided them into categories by the middle two letters, as is often done in MBTI.
NF (cyan): Patience
NT (yellow): Prediction
SF (green): Defense
ST (red): Aggression
Without further ado, here is the list.

As you can see, there are several trends to note here. E/Ts, especially E/T/Ps, tend to be more common than other types. I/S types are scarce, especially I/S/T and I/S/P types.
I don't know what practical applications this might have at the moment, but it could give an interesting new way to look at playstyles. I personally am an INTJ, but I main INTP characters (Villager & Rosalina). If you have any ideas or suggestions, please comment below!

Without context, this chart is extremely inaccurate with respect to the characters themselves. For example, Bayonetta is ESTP, Ganondorf is INTP, Bowser is ESTJ/ENTJ, Zelda is INFJ, etc.

The typing here for playstyles is oversimplified and focuses on the letters, not the cognitive preferences.Even with cognitive preference in mind, that usually manifests in how the player plays the character on their own take. It would seem that an Ne dominant would gravitate to characters that keep their options open like Sheik, but they'd gravitate towards ones where you can be unpredictable with them. Sonic would be accurate to this one from your chart, though the trolling would be closer to ENTP stereotypes.

I'm ENTJ and prefer a very efficient and controlling playstyle where I control via positioning and punish you for moving from your place.That sounds like projectile spam, but it's not. I'm more in a mid-range of you at most.

I am very aware of the fact that the character personalities will often be different from their playstyles.

So I should focus on cognitive functions rather than letters? I'm definitely open to suggestion about this, because I'm not that much of an MBTI expert. Also, thanks for the feedback. I need to know if and how this can be improved.

Oh yeah, man. Definitely. Cognitive functions are more important than the letters themselves. Here's a link to help out with that:

ENTP here by the way. Best of luck with your research.

Thanks for that!
Based on that, along with http://personalityjunkie.com , I'm thinking something like this may work:

Se: aggression, experimentation
Si: predictability, reads based on past experience
Ne: unpredictability, on-the-fly strategizing
Ni: confidence, reads based on intuition
Te: preparedness, good at quickly reacting
Ti: hesitant to be aggressive, good at optimally reacting
Fe/Fi?

Side note:
The site you linked says the following about Ni: This process can involve working out complex concepts or systems of thinking or conceiving of symbolic or novel ways to understand things that are universal.
INTJs like myself are Ni dominant. This could explain why I was the one who came up with this idea!
