James "Bucky" Barnes Personality Type, MBTI

James "Bucky" Barnes personality type is ESTP, in a way. The ESTP's dominant function, Extraverted Thinking, is well developed in James. His Extraverted Thinking is expressed by his focus on practicality and efficiency, which is what made him a great soldier in the army. His Introverted Sensing is expressed by his need for structure and routine in life, which became a necessity when he became an alcoholic (and presumably an alcoholic is no good at living in the real world). He has his fair share of warmth, but he tends to keep it pent up under the surface. He's quite stoic, and his emotions are very controlled; he doesn't get into fights with people unless he's forced to or they insult him (such as his teammates in the Avengers). He's very loyal, but he doesn't like people mucking around with his stuff. He has difficulty connecting with people because of his history with the Hulk, but he tries to be friendly with people he doesn't get along with.
