What is the personality type of Carl Barks? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Carl Barks from Artists Comics and what is the personality traits.
INFP (2w1)
Carl Barks personality type is INFP, although the fictional character is essentially an ENFP. (I've seen some fans claim that he's an INTP, but I disagree.) I think the similarities between the two are pretty obvious.
Both are extremely creative, imaginative, and idealistic. Both are highly imaginative and like to use their imagination to create their own worlds. Both believe in "the truth" (whatever that might be). Both are generally very helpful and kind. Both are generally very shy and quiet around strangers. Both are generally very skilled at reading people, and can read people easily. Both are generally very sensitive to what others think of them. Both are generally very creative and good at writing stories, poetry, etc. Both are very upset when others do not see things as they see them. Both can be very introverted and sense things about others that they don't actually know.
There are some differences, of course. Barks is better at drawing than writing, although he had an excellent writing style. Barks had a good sense of humor, while Walt is rather humorless. Barks had a more complex personality than Walt, but Walt is more complex than most people realize. Walt has many more fears than Barks would have ever had.
Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 – August 25, 2000) was an American cartoonist, author, and painter. He is best known for his work in Disney comic books, as the writer and artist of the first Donald Duck stories and as the creator of Scrooge McDuck. He worked anonymously until late in his career; fans dubbed him The Duck Man and The Good Duck Artist. In 1987, Barks was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
Barks worked for the Disney Studio and Western Publishing where he created Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), The Junior Woodchucks (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952), Cornelius Coot (1952), Flintheart Glomgold (1956), John D. Rockerduck (1961) and Magica De Spell (1961). Will Eisner called him "the Hans Christian Andersen of comic books."
