GLPM vs Personality Database

Personality Database (PDB) is a fan wiki where users vote on a single MBTI label per character. GLPM is a quiz engine: your answers build an eight-function Cognitive Profile plus three Strategic Drives, then we measure distance to curated character vectors in eleven dimensions.

When GLPM and PDB disagree — for example Nami as ENTJ (Navigator arc) vs ESTJ (community crew-manager read) — both can be valid. PDB reflects crowd consensus across scenes; GLPM separates story arcs into variant profiles with different function emphasis.

GLPM types never come from PDB votes. We show PDB community types beside GLPM on profiles for comparison, with short copy explaining why both frameworks can align on temperament yet split on auxiliary functions or arc emphasis.
