INTP (5w6)
John Nash personality type is INTP, and while some of his traits are shared by all Type As, he is unique in that he is an INTP. Type As are consistently the most effective type at work. They are smart, analytical, creative, decisive, and often take the lead.
This is not to say that they are not also prone to self-doubt. Type As are hard on themselves, which can lead to perfectionism and anxiety. This is probably because they feel like they do not measure up to other people’s standards. But they also latch onto a sense of personal worth and achievement, and rarely let it go.
The INTP has a lower opinion of themselves. They are uncertain about their ability to achieve success at work, and feel unworthy of their success. This is a result of their inferior function, Extraverted Intuition (Ne).
Nash was born in 1916 in Cornwall, England. In the film, he is said to have been a mathematical prodigy who left his family to pursue a career at Cambridge. An INTP would never give up their pursuit of the truth, and the INTP is the only type who would be able to do so in the face of such a rejection.
