Psycho-Pass is science fiction about a society that manages mental health by number. Makishima, who cannot be measured; Kogami, who can only speak of justice outside the system; Akane, whose hue does not cloud even after hell. The Sibyl System is, in effect, a state apparatus for managing attachment and mental state. For a site about psychological assessment, the theme is not somebody else's problem.
This page reads 3 Psycho-Pass 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.
📊 Attachment styles across the Psycho-Pass cast
The comparison baseline is the attachment split across 42,256 quiz responses: 30.1% secure, 15.5% anxious, 13.7% avoidant, 40.6% fearful-avoidant.
Akane Tsunemori (secure) and her metabolism of turning despair into conviction is the ideal form of a secure type: the attachment system keeps working under stress. Set against Makishima, an extreme case of the avoidant type, the difference between a mind that gets measured and a mind that exceeds measurement comes into view.
🧩 Reading the relationships in Psycho-Pass through attachment
Psycho-Pass is about people the system cannot measure. Makishima is criminally asymptomatic; Kogami can only carry out justice outside the system; Akane sees hell and her hue does not cloud. That what Sibyl was most wary of was Akane's soundness is suggestive. The question of what remains in the region that cannot be turned into a number is reflected in how these people build relationships.

🚬 Shinya Kogami: MBTI ISTP, attachment avoidant
Ex-supervisor enforcement officer. A hound chasing its prey can only speak justice outside the system.
MBTI radar (ISTP dominant four axes + attachment stability)
Big Five radar (five factors + hidden-side axis)
Why Shinya Kogami is ISTP × avoidant
He reconstructs a criminal's thinking from the traces at a scene, by feel — an ISTP of introverted thinking (Ti). Since the case in which a subordinate was killed, his life has narrowed to one line: pursuing Makishima. A hound of an avoidant type, entrusting himself neither to an organisation nor to a relationship and living holding only the objective.
📖 Shogo Makishima: MBTI INTJ, attachment avoidant
Exonerated person. The man who is not measured by Sibyl designs sin to test the human will.
MBTI radar (INTJ dominant four axes + attachment stability)
Big Five radar (five factors + hidden-side axis)
Why Shogo Makishima is INTJ × avoidant
He dissects the hypocrisy of a society while quoting the classics — an INTJ of introverted intuition (Ni). His loneliness — being measured by nobody means never truly meeting anybody — is the structural attachment failure of someone born without the circuitry for empathy. To him other people are subjects of observation or experimental material…
🍀 Akane Tsunemori: MBTI ISFJ, attachment secure
Supervisor of Section 1. Sibyl's sanity is what she is most wary of, as her hue does not become cloudy even when she looks into hell.
MBTI radar (ISFJ dominant four axes + attachment stability)
Big Five radar (five factors + hidden-side axis)
Why Akane Tsunemori is ISFJ × secure
She tries to protect both the law and the people under it — an honest ISFJ of introverted sensing (Si). Her closest friend was killed in front of her, she learned what the system actually is, and her hue stayed clear. A metabolism that digests despair into conviction is a secure type at an extremely rare strength.
