Two sub-types of each personality?

I kind of figured this, but told myself it was just an illusion I've manifested as I hated one villager more than the other.
 
I've seen what might be examples with Peppies, Normals and Smugs, but to use Lolly and Mitzi for an example:

both are normals, and both seem to have the same dialogue more of less, but Lolly spends more time singing or walking about, chasing bugs around, and Mitzi spends more time sitting under a tree reading, or sitting by a body of water relaxing.
 
Yes definitely I like it! I've had planned to keep two spots for "cycling" (as in, allow them to move out in their own time so I could get to know new villagers) and this definitely comforts me in the idea!
It's a nice addition I think
 
oh my god... this is game changer??!!!!?? i need another lazy now because punchy & jeremiah are too similar imo

btw, we are just gonna ingore the punchy slander in this thread
It’s a game changed for me totally, I want another Lazy but now I’d choose based on getting the other sub-type if I could!! Anyone know anyone who digs into the code? I think we really need the dataminers on this.

Also, Punchy is the BEST, new favourite villager and the first time I’ve ever loved a Lazy personality, not just looks. He’s a gem, super eccentric.

I've seen what might be examples with Peppies, Normals and Smugs, but to use Lolly and Mitzi for an example:

I have the same experience with Skye and Fauna, Fauna is more sedate, sits, enjoys the flowers, stays inside a lot, Skye is always about singing. Today Lolly is taking Skye’s spot (amiibo) so it will be interesting to see if she’s more like Skye (sounds like it from your experience).
 
Currently I have 2 normals, Lolly and Skye. The two are really similar although I feel like Lolly is more talkative, but that just could be because she's been on my island for longer. Lolly seems a lot lazier than Skye and spends most of her time sitting around and drinking orange smoothies haha. I always catch Skye walking around and doing yoga though. Before Skye moved in I had Gladys, and Gladys was definitely very different to Lolly, in fact I don't recall ever seeing repeat dialogue between the two of them.
I also have 2 smugs (Shep, Marshal) and 2 snooties (Diana, Soleil) and I can't tell if they're actually different or if I'm just letting their appearance dictate how I picture their dialogue. Shep is definitely more charismatic/outgoing than Marshal though.
In New Leaf however I definitely noticed a difference between my jocks Rowan and Genji. Rowan actually talked about shopping a lot, and was in general a lot more chill. Genji is...Genji.
 
Wait, so the book says this, but then doesn't say what the sub-types are called? Or which villagers have what sub-type?

Maybe it's randomly generated and that's why they can't say for sure that So-And-So is This-and-That.
 
I wonder if separate people worked on each section. “Sweet” is listed under Reactions, Personality Types and Villager Photos while Villager Profiles and DIY Recipes lists it as “Normal”.
 
For me, this applies noticeably to Ruby.

I didn’t have her in previous games but I’ve had a LOT of peppy villagers in the past. I always liked them but I adore Ruby. I think her interests really set her apart. She talks a lot about space and her house is totally space themed. IMO she feels smarter and has a deeper personality than the other peppys who sometimes come across as superficial. It’s really strange because her dialogue is 99% the same as all peppy villagers.
 
I currently have 2 lazies and 2 snootys

For my lazies, Deli seems to be more nerdy with always reading books while looking at things, while Bones seems to be more playful always airplaning around everywhere. They both talk the same though

My snooties (Gloria and Vivian) haven't had too much of a difference that I've noticed, but Vivian does like to sit down and read A LOT. Haven't noticed this with Gloria. Again, both talk the same
 
I have two lazys and two crankys right now.

I haven't really noticed a difference, although I've only had one of my crankys for about a day so far.

I guess I'll just have to keep a closer eye on them.
 
Ah, my Zell sings a lot too! If that’s consistent between islands I’d imagine it does have something to do with the personality subtypes. I just wish they were a little different between the main villager personalities too.

I have Zell too, he's my only smug, but he loves to sing a lot as well. My only villager currently that sings.
 
My two peppy villagers (Puddles and Audie) have pretty different dialogue. For me, Audie talks a lot about her favorite TV shows and comic books and music, while Puddles is always talking about how she wants to be a popstar.
 
I kinda noticed this too!

My smugs:
Raymond: Acts like a peppy villager, double waves, talks about fashion and always walks next to Marshal.
Marshal: Kind of like a sophisticated person, waves with his one hand, sings the most next to Jacques, never seen without Raymond or is around Raymond's vicinity at all times. (Unless he goes to shopping or the museum.)
Jacques: The "cool and hip" dude, likes cooler outfits unlike Raymond and Marshal, sings a lot and everywhere, probably dating Cherry since they're always together(loljk), Waves with one hand or with his two hands if in a good mood. Also every female villager talks about him.

My normals:
Merengue: Works out more and does Yoga a lot. Polite but is extremely extroverted. Loves cute clothes.
Mitzi: Reserved, quiet, prefers to wear glasses and read books everywhere. Prefers down-to-earth clothing despite barraging her with fancy clothes. Also is very inquisitive by observing flowers, bugs and trees with a magnifying glass!
 
The only thing I can contribute to this is my 2 sweets (and yes I like that more than "normal").

I have Carrie and Marina. They both talk about reading and cooking a lot, so I haven't really noticed much dialog difference. However, Carrie likes to do yoga a lot, and take walks. Marina sings a lot, and I've never seen Carrie sing.

I also have 2 smugs but I'm trying to get rid of one so I don't talk to him, so I don't know of any differences there.
 
I don't know if it's just Agnes, or all Uchis, but Agnes is extremely mean and rude.

I think you just got unlucky with one of the meaner sub-types, my starting Uchi villager (Fuchsia) is really nice. She writes letters to me often and is always wandering around town while singing this cute song.
 
My two crankies are identical and one has to go. My first two peppys were also identical but one of the new ones is notably different.
 
Wait, so the book says this, but then doesn't say what the sub-types are called? Or which villagers have what sub-type?

Maybe it's randomly generated and that's why they can't say for sure that So-And-So is This-and-That.
I know, I was seriously disappointed when I read there were sub-types and then they didn’t explain them! it was the most exciting thing I’d read, I really want to know more.

I wonder if separate people worked on each section. “Sweet” is listed under Reactions, Personality Types and Villager Photos while Villager Profiles and DIY Recipes lists it as “Normal”.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Sweet is a nicer name than normal and fits them, but I assume the team didn’t communicate properly on which they were going to use!

Some really interesting stuff about the Peppy villagers, I got Cheri as a random move in and couldn’t stand her, I did try. She seemed very focused on the pop-star thing and I didn’t like her lack of interests. Didn’t help that I don’t find her cute. She asked to move out within a week. Have a bunch of Peppy amiibos: Tangy, Rosie, Sprinkle, Flora, Anabelle and Ruby but can’t choose who to invite because I have just been put off the Peppy personality type.
