What is the personality type of George Washington? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for George Washington from Turn Washingtons Spies and what is the personality traits.
George Washington personality type is ISTJ, which makes sense, since he was a very practical, orderly man. He clearly knew what he wanted and managed to get it, despite not always being sure how to go about doing so.
However, I have a feeling there's a lot more to the story. The ISTJ personality type is also known for being a bit rigid and inflexible, I've seen it in my own husband. So maybe Washington was a bit of a control freak, and didn't feel comfortable being in charge of someone else.
If you take a look at other presidents, you'll see that many of them have the ISTJ personality type. Many of them are very organized and practical, or at least that's how they come across in the eyes of history.
