Robert Thurman Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Robert Thurman? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Robert Thurman from Buddhism and what is the personality traits.
INTP (5w6)
Robert Thurman personality type is INTP, so when I meet a self-professed “Thurman” I always wonder if they’re a real person. Is it a name, a nickname, a title, a description of a job, a description of a type? It’s true that there are no Thurmans in the Enneagram system, but there is a Robert Thurman in my life who is also an INTP. He is a great admirer of BOTH the Enneagram and Buddhism.
But what about the Thurmans? Is it okay to use their name as a description of a type? I think it’s okay. When you read the descriptions of the types in this book, you’ll see that many of them are based on aspects of personality. They’re not just labels. They’re descriptions of people who embody certain characteristics.
Thurman is an ENFP. He’s happy, he’s friendly, he’s funny. He’s busy. And he needs help with his typing.
The other Thurmans are also ENFPs, all named Robert Thurman.
