I would have to go with jrpg's. They are generally more challenging and less likely to hold a gamer's hand through the game.

Let me guess the only WRPGs you have played were Bioware and Bethesda games in the last generation...

 

Because games like The Witcher, Wasteland 2, Fallout 1 & 2, The Elder Scrolls 2 & 3, Ultima 1-7, Eye of the Beholder, Geneforge and Avernum series are all WRPGs off the top of my head that don't hold your hand at all. In fact they make most JRPGs look eaxtreamly handholdy in comparison. Hell go try play a true rogue-like for example Stone Soup (get it free here http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/downloads) and I bet you won't even be able to get past floor 2.

Honestly I haven't played any of those except morrowind and I loved that game.  I've never been a pc gamer. I haven't played a good challenging wrpg recent gen or old school. I've had the most fun with the "souls" games and dragon's dogma with the recent jrpg's.
