My thoughts as an INTJ:

Weiss: Almost certainly an ENTJ. Although her actions do initially look INTJ-ish, their are some key differences. One, especially in the earlier episodes, Weiss wants to take control as leader immediately. This pins as an ENTJ rather than an INTJ as an INTJ is much more content being in the background and will only lead if they believe no one else can, while ENTJs desire immediate control. Weiss Primary function also seems to be Extraverted Thinking and her Auxiliary being Introverted Intuition. I conclude this because there are many instances of her speaking her mind first(Te). However, she will try to correct herself if proven wrong or having gone to far (Ni), but it takes her some time to realize this as Introverted Intuition is her Auxiliary function. Typing someone as an INTJ just because they are dickish is a common fallacy when typing a character, you need to examine their actions in relation to each other to get their real type.

Blake: I'd peg her as an INFJ. Her dominant function is obviously Introverted Intuition, as she often chooses to observe before speaking, as seen in episode 2 where she watches Weiss yell at Ruby before interrupting. Or if seen as not worth her time she will downright abstain from socializing, as seen in Episode 2 where she leaves before Ruby can speak to her, or later in the episode how she acts dismissive when Ruby tries to speak to her again. Her Auxiliary function is Extraverted Feeling. She often bases her decisions off of her morality, as seen in her trailer when she abandons Adam because he doesn't mind if the train crew dies. She also expresses her feelings, such as when we see her putting away a sappy romance novel (Something a Thinking type would never like), or her repeted denial of the White Fang being the ones behind the Dust shop raids, even in the face of overwhelming evidence (Feeling types often should bias in their judgment when it comes to their sympathies).
