Zakir Naik Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Zakir Naik? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Zakir Naik from Missionaries & Preachers and what is the personality traits.
ESTJ (1w2)
Zakir Naik personality type is ENTP, not ESTP.
As you can see, none of the personality types match the description given by the author, which is odd.
The therapist gave me no feedback or explanation for this, but I suspect that the author was unfamiliar with what his own personality type was, but believed that ENTP was probably close enough to ESTP to make his story work.
The only other time I've seen this happened recently was when I read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. This book features the story of a young man who was being bullied, and he took it very personally that people didn't like him.
To be clear, the reason why the kid was being bullied was because he was being a jerk, not because he was an ENTP.
This book does have an ENTJ in it, but I think his character fit properly in the story, so it doesn't really matter. What's important here is that when you see an author using an incorrect type to describe a character in a book, it's usually because they don't know their own type well enough to know what type their character really is.
