What is the personality type of Mr. Salt? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Mr. Salt from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory 2005 and what is the personality traits.
Mr. Salt personality type is ESTJ, meaning he is the most common of the four types of “salt.” ESTJs are known for their reliability and dependability. They are certain and structured and do not go off on tangents. They tend to be introverts and prefer to “know things already.” They see the future as a straight line and prefer that things be predictable and structured.
Aldous Huxley took the ESTJ personality type as his model for the character “Mr. Jones” in his satirical novel Brave New World. In the novel, the ESTJ personality is modeled as Mr. Jones, a character who is a perfectly straight-laced, almost robotic character who says and does exactly what he is supposed to do without emotion or personal feeling. He has little imagination and has no artistic or creative impulses. This is a type of character that is very much like the traditional ESTJ (sometimes called the “salt”) who enjoys staying in one place and doing one thing at a time for a long time, but with few personal feelings or emotions, or creative impulses.
ESTJs are often seen as being “management types” who enjoy organization, structure, and control.
