The Elder Scrolls Races

As a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls and what extensive lore and history is shown through each and every race, I thought I'd start this thread to come up with a conclusion as to what each race's MBTI type might be. So... Here it goes!: (I may have categorized them just so I might see some patterns between the similar races more easily... but...)

~The Old Ehlnofey (Elvish Ancestry)~
Altmer (High Elf): INTJ
-This one is quite obvious considering their blatant arrogance towards those of "lesser" races. Dislike incompetence and stupidity. Have highly cultured and sophisticated tastes in nearly every aspect of life.
Ayleid (Wild Elf): ENTJ
-Established the first empire of Tamriel in present-day Cyrodiil. Enslaved the "lesser" races of man to do their bidding, and also controlled a vast amount of territory, expanding their influence into many of the other regions of Tamriel.
Bosmer (Wood Elf): ESFP
-Now I know why I love my fellow Bosmer so much. Definitely the most likeable race, and consequentially my favourite. Value harmony, freedom, and living in the moment. Possibly the only race who happily welcomes outsiders into their land. Seem to not care at all for civilized world, as many don't even have what most call jobs.
Dunmer (Dark Elf): INTJ
-Calls everyone foreign to their home, "Outlander", and believes all other races to be below them. Very reserved and aloof, distrustful of new people while also staying loyal to those they are close to. Consider their slaves property rather than sentient beings. Masters of secrecy and devious plots of murder, as shown by the presence of the Morag Tong.
Dwemer (Dwarf): INTP
-An entire civilization consisting of miniature Da Vinci's. Care little for the outside world, preferring to remain secluded underground where they construct the manifestations of their imaginative and innovative ideas in the form of technology, architecture, and engineering far more advanced than that of any other modern race. They also seemed to just disappear off the face of Nirn, which just seems like an INTP thing to do.
Falmer (Snow Elf): ENTJ
-This typing is for the Snow Elves, not the disgusting, degenerate offspring which had been enslaved and mistreated by the Dwarves for years. Not much can be said about this race except for the fact that they brutally devoured an entire Nord settlement because they believed the Nordic population had been growing too fast and powerful for the comfort of their own race, despite their relations having been mostly peaceful at the time. Said to have been even wiser than the Altmer.
Khajiit (The origin of the Khajiit is not entirely known, however many speculate that they were originally Elves who had been cursed/blessed by the Daedric Prince Azura.)
-----Anequina (North): ESTP
-The nomadic tribes in the desolate north of Elsweyr, which generally consist of the more feral and beast-like breeds of Khajiit. I don't think they ever stop going to war with each other.
-----Pellitine (South): ISTP
-The more civilized Khajiit who dwell towards the southern, tropical coast of Elsweyr. Includes the breeds of Khajiit most commonly accused of thievery and skooma dealing, the same breeds always used to represent the entire race in all of the TES games. These fellow felines appear friendly, but many tend to have some hidden agenda up their sleeve. In hopes of earning enough coin to make a living, they are constantly on the move, traveling around in caravans as merchants, diplomats, and even thieves. They find the luxury of a permanent home unnecessary for this reason, only living to feed their basic needs (like their moonsugar cravings). As a result of their adventurous and risky behaviour, the Black Market in this region of Elsweyr thrives like no other place on Tamriel, allowing visitors to purchase the most strange of artifacts.
Maormer (Sea Elf): ENTJ
-Led by a highly wealthy and immortal wizard, Orgnum, this race had originally been a cult of Aldmer who had rebelled against their home in Summerset Isles, and were subsequently banished to their current residence on the island of Pyandonea. These Warmongering pirates never accept defeat, even though their never-ending attempts to launch attacks on their enemies on Summerset Isles, the Altmer, always end in failure.
Orsimer (Orc): ISTJ
-Highly independent and secluded from what lies beyond the walls of their mountainous stronghold settlements, these cursed and forgotten elves rely on no one but themselves to survive. Their patriarchal society is strictly based around the law of their prime Deity, Malacath, a Daedric Prince. His law commands that his sons and daughters avoid unnecessary conflict, but also remain strong and honourable when such conflict arises. Disobedience of the law is often treated with brutal beatings at the desire of the victim.

~Manmeri~
Breton: ENTP
-One might see them as INFPs at first glance, considering they are described as "romantic" and "unique in cultural norms", but they just seem like trolls to me. One can be born into peasantry, yet with enough charisma and charm, can earn the attention of those of high status and eventually rise up to their level of nobility. The various kingdoms that make up the unstable Breton society seem to be constantly warring with each other for mere pleasure, and it seems to be just another one of their pastimes. Speaking of pastimes, Bretons are infamous for their passionate interest in almost all aspects of life, and have quite an active intellect, preferring the complexity of magic to the more traditional weapons. It is said that their sense of humour and friendliness tend to make their intentions seem less dark and treacherous than they actually are.
*also includes The Forsworn

~The Wandering Ehlnofey (Descendants of Man)~
Imperial
-----Colovian: ESTJ
-Pretty much the entire Imperial Legion and its soldiers. Almost exactly like the Nords, because they are of Nordic origin.
-----Nibenese: ISFJ
-Highly religious and always respect the laws as written by the Alessian Doctrines, yet also have a taste for aesthetic beauty. Very friendly citizens of the empire.
Kothringi: ESTP
-Only the most insane people would dare dwell in the Black Marsh and make an unreasonable deal with a Daedric Prince, let alone even step foot into such a Hellhole. No offense ESTPs.
Nord: ESTJ
-Honour, loyalty, honesty, and tradition above all else. Always fighting to preserve one's name and family. Also seem to be very disdainful of those who don't hold the same beliefs as them.
Redguard: ENTJ
- When they want something, they always get it. They are known to be stubborn and easily irritated by those who try to get in their way, yet are easily assimilated into the cultures of other races, adapting to the new norm depending on whether or not it seems superior to what they are used to. They are an extremely prideful race, especially when it comes to their swordsmanship skills. But this is far from empty pride, as they have history to back it up: After single-handedly wiping out the Left-Handed elves from their native homeland in Yokuda, these brave warriors sailed over to the coast of present-day Hammerfell, breaching into the land and slaughtering the masses of inhabitants already living there, most notably the orcs; no one has ever messed with them since. Redguards don't take shit from anybody.
Tsaesci: ENTJ

~The Hist~
Argonian
-----Argonian: ISTJ
-----Naga: ESTP
-The criminals of the Black Marsh. One of the many reasons the Imperials haven't taken hold of this savage nation can be seen through the patterns of robbery, murder, and drug-smuggling throughout the roads that lay across the Black Marsh.

~Sons of Akatosh~
Dovah (Dragon): ENTJ
-A consequence of their creation being of the most highly regarded Aedra, many Dovah view all other races as puny, pathetic, and weak-minded mortals. While Alduin's past may have left the rest of the Dovah in bad light as seen by the other races of Nirn, not all dragons have such destructive agenda as that of the "World-Eater". Unfortunately, many dragons become corrupt with greed and power and supposedly become "mad", as described by Paarthurnax, a wise Dovah who swears himself to the well-being of mankind. Of course, when you're an immortal being with such great capabilities, you are bound to become bored someday and decide to go troll the pitiful Men and Mer of Nirn.

~Beasts of Unknown Origin~
Imga: ESTJ
Sload: ENTP

~Daedra~
Aureal (Golden Saints)
-----Female: ENTJ
-----Male: INFP
Dremora: ESTJ
Mazken (Dark Seducers): ENTP
