Goblin Slayer is a story about recovering from trauma, wearing the face of a revenge tale. A man who sealed his heart the day his sister was taken comes back, a little at a time, to the human being under the armour — through meals, jobs and ordinary days with the Priestess and the others. The wound and the repair of attachment, written in the grammar of dark fantasy.
This page reads 2 Goblin Slayer characters through three layers: MBTI as the outward personality, attachment style as the hidden side, and a Big Five type. Rather than simply assigning a type, Why this type from what they do in the story and where they came from — that is how this site works.

Goblin Slayer is about a man who replaced thinking with procedure after something he could not bear. From the day his sister was taken, he sealed his heart inside a set of steps.

A man shut inside a procedure connecting to people a little at a time is the core of this work.

⚔ Goblin Slayer: MBTI ISTJ, attachment avoidant
A man in armor who only hunts goblins. From the day my sister was taken away from me, I sealed my heart inside a procedure.
MBTI radar (ISTJ dominant four axes + attachment stability)
Big Five radar (five factors + hidden-side axis)
Why Goblin Slayer is ISTJ × avoidant
Destroys the enemy reliably through accumulated equipment, procedure and knowledge — an ISTJ of introverted sensing (Si). The boy whose sister was slaughtered survived by freezing what he felt and turning revenge into a daily routine. Armour worn by an avoidant for whom having an attachment is itself the danger.
⚔ Priestess: MBTI ISFJ, attachment secure
A 15-year-old novice adventurer. Overcoming the initial despair, he balances compassion and core strength.
MBTI radar (ISFJ dominant four axes + attachment stability)
Big Five radar (five factors + hidden-side axis)
Why Priestess is ISFJ × secure
Attends finely to her companions' wounds and their hearts, and holds to discipline and to prayer — an ISFJ of introverted sensing (Si). Her first outing cost her the whole party and she did not lose the ability to trust people. Hurt without the attachment system breaking: secure, and resilient.
