ISTJ (1w9)
William Henry Vanderbilt personality type is ISTJ, which is a rare type to find in a female. They are patient and conservative and tend to be hard on themselves and others. They want to make sure they do things right and don’t make mistakes. They like to know what is expected of them and what they can expect. ISTJs like to plan and organize and avoid making decisions on the spur of the moment. They like to know what they’re doing and why they’re doing it.
Many people don’t realize that Henry was an ISTJ as well as a J. I can’t tell you how many times someone said, “Oh, he (or she) was so successful because of his family name” and I would reply, “No, he was successful because he was an ISTJ, not because he was a Vanderbilt.”
I’m not saying that everything about Henry and his life was perfect or that he wasn’t capable of doing things wrong. He was a human just like the rest of us, but Henry had a very clear vision of himself and what he wanted to achieve, and that formed his character.
William Henry "Billy" Vanderbilt (May 8, 1821 – December 8, 1885) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He was the eldest son of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, an heir to his fortune and a prominent member of the Vanderbilt family. Vanderbilt was the richest American after he took over his father's fortune in 1877 until his own death in 1885, passing on a substantial part of the fortune to his wife and children, particularly to his sons Cornelius II and William.
