MBTI Personality Types

I've been dabbling in Myers-Briggs personality typing and tried to peg my characters for fun. Here's a comparison of Eternal Rain's main cast:

I got their types by comparing descriptions from multiple sites. These are the ones I found most helpful. Click any one to learn more:

16 Personalities | Truity | Personality Junkie

-UPDATE-
It seems like every time I settle on a type for some of these guys, I look at the descriptions on another site or something and think, "Wait, nope, that's not right." XD I think part of it is because I'm including my characters' coping mechanisms in my evaluations, but that makes them show behaviors outside their type's typical description. So, I've revised a couple of their types.

Revisions
Reka: ISFP - My conclusion is that, whatever he is, he's what the psychology folks call an "unhealthy" one because of the stress he deals with at home. I leaned toward INFJ because he's so good at reading people (a coping mechanism), but he doesn't have the abstract leanings that are the main mode of that type. ISFPs are more grounded and quick to action, and they also run primarily -- not on analyzation and insight, but -- on personal values, which are Reka's main driver. ISFPs are also known for being one of the more reserved personality types. This innate tendency, coupled with Reka's less-than-ideal home life, adds up to his extremely private nature.

Toki: INFP - I typed her ISFP originally because she tends to go with the flow rather than being particularly decisive or judging, but can be rather sensitive to criticism and has issues with her self-esteem. (She also cares about her appearance, which is something ISFPs are attuned to.) Here's the thing: Toki goes with the flow out of wanting to avoid conflict, but she prefers to stay in her comfort zone, whereas ISFPs like new experiences. She makes decisions mainly based on personal values and what's comfortable to her. She also tends to relate to people's experiences by imagining herself in their shoes, and imagination is more of a defining trait in INFPs.
