What is the personality type of Minstrel? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Minstrel from Sleeping Beauty 1959 and what is the personality traits.
Minstrel personality type is ISFP, or Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving. This means that he is an individual who has all the qualities of an ISFP, but is still trying to morph into an ISTP. His ISFP nature is being suppressed by his ISTP nature. When this happens, the ISFP's inferior function is taking over, and that's what is causing him to be so annoying. The ISTP is acting out, because the ISFP is not comfortable with his inferior function.
ISFPs are usually artists, story tellers, poets, animators, song writers, actors, musicians, dancers, singers, etc. I tend to think of them as the "denial" type. The ISTP is probably a little more aware of himself than the ISFP is, and feels a little guilty. The ISFP is probably also a little more aware of the ISTP's behavior, and feels a little guilty about it too.
There are other types that are similar to the ISTP/ISFP pair, but since they are not as common, I won't go into them here.
For the ISTP/ISFP pair, introverted feeling is the Jungian inferior function.
