Leatherface Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Leatherface? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Leatherface from Mortal Kombat and what is the personality traits.
ISFJ (9w8)
Leatherface personality type is ISFP, while Leatherface is ESTP. Leatherface acts both boldly and impulsively, while the ISFP is more introverted, sensitive, and creative.
The ISFP may be more prone to seek revenge than the ESTP, but the two personalities are poles apart in their approaches. ISFP's are more likely to have a "nice guy" reputation, while the ESTP is more likely to be perceived as a dangerous threat.
Leatherface can be understood as a deeply suppressed ESTP, who has been forced into the role of the "villain". This repression may have its origin in sexual trauma, or in a general sense of inferiority. The ESTP may be struggling to find his identity with his family, and in turn is turning to the only person in the family with whom he feels any sense of equality; his mother.
The ISFP in this role sees Leatherface as a reflection of his own insecurities, and uses this to his advantage. He deliberately allows Leatherface to take on his identity. As he himself is an introverted extrovert (he is social, but not overly so), he benefits from this struggle even more than Leatherface.
Jedidiah "Jed" Sawyer, better known as Leatherface, known for his appearances in the cult-classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror film series, is a playable guest character in Mortal Kombat X. Leatherface made his debut being available through DLC as part of the Kombat Pack 2.
