Seifer, amazingly enough, exemplifies all the qualities first listed except for one. He is driven by his own set goals and not the goals anyone else has for him, and as such he will do anything to achieve his dream. His bully-type demeanor has caused him to become powerhungry (just a small bit), but a common observation of bullies and their personalities reveal that they are only bullies because they either have grown insecure of themselves and strive to convince their inner selves of their ability, or of some tragic past. Seifer, however, by no means has a cold personality; in fact, Seifer is most commonly described as being the fire to Squall's ice-like persona.

The second paragraph reveals some disparity (may be the first to bail out? I don't think so - Seifer is the type to commit to any idea he holds important), though for the most part it is accurate. Seifer's longheld Romantic Dream is the most prominent example of his quickness to chase an idea, and so is his impromptu decision as Captain to follow the Galbadian soldiers up the Dollet Communication Tower and quick siding with the sorceress, an action he was quick to succumb to despite the obvious betrayal it would make. He is also very showy in his fighting mannerisms; during the Dollet exam you can see that his fighting stance is more poised, maybe even elegant, than Squall or Zell. At the end of each battle, he likes to swing his gunblade around for show (of perhaps his strength and power).

And then of course is the last paragraph, which accurately highlights everything that is Seifer Almasy, especially the phrase "dislikes subordination." Seifer's problem with authority and his position in the Disciplinary Committee is probably one of the most, if not the most, ironic things about him. He obviously likes the feeling of commanding people - when Zell runs in the hallways, he immediately gives him a write up, and during his raid of Balamb from Galbadia he looks satisfied at his position as commander of the Galbadian troops. As an extremely independent young male, Seifer is willing to forsake all obstacles in order to achieve all that he wants to.

Overall, this blood type analysis is extremely precise in pinpointing all of Seifer's traits. Another win for Square-Enix in labeling their characters!
