What is the personality type of Lefty Ruggiero? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Lefty Ruggiero from Donnie Brasco 1997 and what is the personality traits.
Lefty Ruggiero personality type is ENTJ, so when I look at this case, I see a young man who is very charismatic and intelligent, and who does not think he needs to be defensive about it.
I also see a young man who is very arrogant and thinks he is better than everyone else, and who will not back down from someone who he thinks is not playing fair.
I also see a young man who is just as likely to be a bully as he is to be a victim.
It may well be that the bullies in his life have instilled this attitude in him.
He may have been raised by an authoritarian parent. He may have been raised by a parent whose “job” it was to make sure he was “connected” to the “right people” and that he was “in the know”.
I can see this young man as an emotional junkie, who needs constant approval, and who feels like he should always be getting his way.
He may be a natural leader and feel like he should be in charge. He might think that should he ever lose leadership, everyone will think he’s not as smart as he thought he was.
