I hope it’s okay to put this in the ENFJ subreddit
Hey ! So I took a Dere test for fun but than it made me think about something
Since I got Dorodere and after thinking about what characters I relate most to act like I just wanted to say that I believe characters like Ai hoshino or Akane Aoi are Dorodere or Harugo personalities because of how they carry themselves and not every person who hides something bad is inheritially evil even if Dorodere are mostly portrayed as villains and as violent for example Makima from chainsaw man I didn’t watch chainsaw man but ive seen people talk about her and It makes sense that she’s typed as a ENFJ aswell
I would like to say that people can act cheerful but still hide the hatred/ pain that they have been through
Like Ai hoshino. She got bullied . When she was asked if she wants to be a idol she said „not interested“ and „my mom left me and never came back“ in episode one her „real“ personality or persona that she hid leaked through but when she was told she can just lie instead she immediately put the mask back on with hope that she can eventually truly love someone
Even Aoi Akane got bullied in school and than she thought „they treat me like an alien“
I cried when I first read that in the manga but anyways
She hated Akane Aoi (yes the same name but in reverse) her childhood friend aswell throughout the series we saw these bits of her pained human hating personality (she still loves him but still she’s confused about it)
(Even Ai hoshino left Hikaru Kamiki Because she felt conflicted)
I searched up what people think Ai hoshino is and the results said Deredere which doesn’t make sense to me
And Aoi Akane got Harugo but the concept is honestly similar to me personally
I think Dorodere/ Harugo characters could’ve been Deredere characters if they wouldn’t have been through pain and instead been pampered as kids by everyone
I almost thought that I‘m a ESFP because I used to act more cheerful and genuinely happy I mean I still do but maybe people like that when they go through pain they don’t wanna let go of the „Deredere“ personality so they hide their pain/hatred but it still leaks through I think thats where the misconception comes from
Also I hate when people minimize the pained aspect of complex characters like that for engagement
So I guess I was just a cheerful or still am a (kinda) cheerful ENFJ could’ve become a ESFP or a „Deredere“ maybe if things were different but thats just my take on the whole situation and you can disagree
Ik these tests and labels are old but it makes it easier to form conclusions
Ofc personality tests shouldn’t be taken too seriously but it’s a tool :>
Thank you!
NOTE : I kept wanting to believe that I don’t hate anyone so this simple test result was eye opening honestly
Maybe it worked well because I tried to be extra honest with myself and I think everyone should behave like that when they do personality tests
