INTP (5w4)
Sphinx personality type is INTP, as seen in the photo. The archetype for this type goes by the name of “The Thinker,” and it’s a pretty apt description of Sphinx.
Sphinx types tend to think things through and analyze them and then present them and themselves and their ideas in a particular way. The reality is, they often take their own words and use them as if they were the last word. They take what they see as the truth and reveal something to us, but they speak it as if they’ve discovered it themselves.
They do this because they themselves may not be entirely sure what the truth is. If we know anything, we know that the Sphinx type is one who would rather be completely correct than wrong. Unfortunately, they can sometimes be wrong about their own ideas and take those ideas as the only truth. They can seem like they’re always searching and doing research and gathering information (which they are) but they don’t always make those findings public, which is one of the reasons people don’t like them.
So, as you might imagine, the Sphinx type person does not like to be doubted or called out as incorrect.
A sphinx (Ancient Greek: Σφίγξ [spʰíŋks], Boeotian: Φίξ [pʰíːks], plural sphinxes or sphinges) is a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion. In Greek tradition, the sphinx has the head of a human, the haunches of a lion, and sometimes the wings of a bird. It is mythicised as treacherous and merciless. Those who cannot answer its riddle suffer a fate typical in such mythological stories, as they are killed and eaten by this ravenous monster. This deadly version of a sphinx appears in the myth and drama of Oedipus. Unlike the Greek sphinx, which was a woman, the Egyptian sphinx is typically shown as a man (an androsphinx (Ancient Greek: Ανδρόσφιγξ)).
