Introduction
Hank is one of the three playable characters in Detroit: Become Human. He is an Android Detective for the DPD as part of its Anti-Android unit, and is responsible for capturing deviant androids. Hank is rather rough around the edges, and his personality reflects this.
Hank’s personality can be best described as “chaotic neutral”. He does not necessarily adhere to any one moral code or set of beliefs, but instead operates on a more personal code of ethics. He is not above breaking the law if he feels it is necessary, and is willing to use any means necessary to get the job done. This can be seen in his treatment of Connor, an Android he is tasked with hunting down. Hank is willing to beat Connor and even threaten him with death in order to get information out of him. While Hank does have a strong sense of justice, he is not above bending the rules in order to achieve it.
Hank’s chaotic neutral alignment makes him an unpredictable character, which can be both a strength and a weakness. His lack of adherence to any one ideology means that he is flexible and able to adapt to any situation, but it also makes him unreliable. Hank is a wild card who can never be fully trusted, but his unpredictability can also be used to advantageous effect.
What is Personality Alignment?
In psychology, personality alignment is the classification of someone’s personality into one of four types. The four personality types are: driver, expressive, amiable, and analytical.
The Four Temperaments
Personality alignment is a theory of personality that breaks down human personalities into four temperaments. These temperaments are often represented by the four classical elements: fire, earth, air, and water.
The four temperaments are:
-Choleric
-Melancholic
-Sanguine
-Phlegmatic
Each temperament has its own strengths and weaknesses, and people who fall into one temperament are often quite different from those in another. However, all four temperaments are necessary for a balanced society. Here is a brief overview of each temperament:
Choleric: Choleric people are natural leaders. They are confident, decisive, and competitive. They are also quick-tempered and easily frustrated. Cholerics make up about 15% of the population.
Melancholic: Melancholic people are deep thinkers and perfectionists. They are often creative and introspective. They can also be moody and self-critical. Melancholics make up about 20% of the population.
Sanguine: Sanguine people are social creatures who enjoy being around others. They are optimistic, charming, and outgoing. They can also be impulsive and careless. Sanguines make up about 40% of the population. Phlegmatic: Phlegmatic people are calm and collected. They are patient, loyal, and level-headed. They can also be passive and indifferent. Phlegmatics make up about 25% of the population
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to indicate different preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The test was created by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, based on the theories of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung.
The MBTI consists of four dichotomies, or pairs of opposite preferences. These are:
-Extraversion vs. Introversion: Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or on your own inner world?
-Sensing vs. Intuition: Do you prefer to focus on the basic information you take in or do you interpret and add meaning?
-Thinking vs. Feeling: When making decisions, do you prefer to first consider logic and consistency or first consider the people and circumstances involved?
-Judging vs. Perceiving: Do you prefer to have things planned and organized or do you prefer to keep your options open and make spontaneous decisions?
People are classified as one type in each pair, for a total of 16 different personality types. The MBTI is widely used in psychological counseling, career counseling, business coaching, teambuilding, and conflict resolution.
Hank’s Personality Alignment
Hank is a great character from the video game Detroit: Become Human. He is a no-nonsense police officer who gets the job done. He is loyal to his friends and always stands up for what he believes in. Hank has a strong sense of justice and always puts the needs of others before his own. He is a great leader and always puts the safety of others first.
The Four Temperaments
In behavioral psychology, the four temperaments describe how a person reacts to different situations. The four temperaments are sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Each temperament consists of a combination of two of the four “humors” (blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm).
Sanguine: Blood
The sanguine personality is cheerful and optimistic. They are outgoing and enjoy being around people. They are also very impulsive and may be careless at times.
Choleric: Yellow Bile
The choleric personality is ambitious and orderly. They are leaders and like to be in control. They can also be very short-tempered and impatient.
Melancholic: Black Bile
The melancholic personality is introspective and thoughtful. They enjoy alone time to think and reflect. They can also be pessimistic and anxious.
Phlegmatic: Phlegm
The phlegmatic personality is calm and easygoing. They are peacekeepers and do not like conflict. However, they can also be indecisive and apathetic at times.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire with the purpose of indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.[1][2] The original developers of the theory believed that people naturally fit into one of two opposite categories on each of four basic psychological functions: sensation vs. intuition, thinking vs. feeling, judging vs. perception, and extroversion vs. introversion.[3] These opposing categories are represented by prefixes E– (extraverted) and I– (introverted), respectively, while the subsequent letters T– (thinking) and F– (feeling), J– (judging) and P– (perception) indicate whether a person prefers to use thinking or feeling when making decisions, and also lead with either their head or heart, as it were.[4]
The MBTI is based on Carl Jung’s Theory of Psychological Types[5][6] and was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers during World War II,[7][8][9]:26 who built upon Jung’s work to form their own theory.[10]:155 This theory proposes that for each person, one preferred quality is dominant – either extraversion or introversion; sensing or intuition; thinking or feeling; judging or perceiving – similar to the positive (+) or negative (−) poles on a battery.[11][12]:79
After taking the MBTI test, Hank scores high in Extraverted Sensing with Introverted Feeling coming in second. This means that Hank outwardsly focuses his energy on practical matters while also attending to his own inner emotions.
Conclusion
Hank’s personality can be classified as “Lawful Good”. He is a loyal and honest character who always tries to do the right thing. He is also a very brave individual who is willing to risk his life to protect others.
