Faustus Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Faustus? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Faustus from Doctor Faustus and what is the personality traits.
INTP (5w4)
Faustus personality type is INTP, which is not surprising since that's what usually comes to mind when I think of a Faustian character.
However, this piece is about how the Faustus persona manifests for a couple of personality types (INFP and INTP), and the differences in how they approach those older, more-established personality traits.
I'm going to start with INFPs, since they do have their own particular starting point that can make them more vulnerable to certain kinds of psycho-drama.
INFPs tend to be more sensitive than most people. This can be either a positive or negative quality depending on the situation, but I would argue that it's more of a positive one, because sensitivity is a quality that can be used to great effect.
Here are some more examples of how this can be used:
Sensitivity can allow someone to connect with other people very easily (see how the INFPs in this article were able to connect with their friends so well).
Sensitivity can also allow someone to see things from other people's perspectives (which is especially useful for INFPs who are in leadership roles).
