What is the personality type of Joe? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Joe from Nymphomaniac 2013 and what is the personality traits.
Joe personality type is ISTP, which is not an uncommon personality type (about 3%).
A popular misconception is that ISTPs are "perfectionists" who have no idea how to have fun. This is certainly not the case, as I've met several ISTPs who are passionate sports fanatics, avid readers, and intelligent people in general. But they are often somewhat less likely to be "outgoing" than is typical of their type.
Here's a quote from an ISTP that I know personally:
"I just don't understand why people think that I'm 'oppressive' or 'perfectionist' or 'unrealistic'. I just do what I feel is right at the time. My friends are my friends, they're not my true true friends. I don't really have any true true friends. I don't really have any long-lasting friendships. My friends are with me for the moment. I'm with them for the moment."
The fact is that ISTPs are often misunderstood, and often the reason for this misunderstanding is because of the way they present themselves. They are less likely to be seen as "fun" or "outgoing" by most people who don't know them well.
