What is the personality type of He Yan? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for He Yan from Who Is The Prey The Controllers and what is the personality traits.
ISFJ (1w2)
He Yan personality type is ISFJ, which is a very rare personality type in China. I used the famous Myers-Briggs test for Chinese people, but I couldn’t find any information about this Myers-Briggs personality type.
I think that there are many people in China who are ISFJ, but they are not aware of it. Maybe the author of the book doesn’t know this personality type, too, because she didn’t use the Myers-Briggs test about Chinese people.
But at least I can share my experience with all ISFJ people in China, who are very rare.
The full description of the ISFJ personality type is in the book, but I will share my personal understanding with you here.
ISFJs are loyal to their own ideas. They are very different from other types in this aspect. I think that they are the only people in the world, who are more loyal to their own ideas than to other people’s ideas.
They are very careful about their own ideas, and they do not want to be involved in other people’s ideas.
He Yan, courtesy name Pingshu, was an official, scholar and philosopher of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was a grandson of He Jin, a general and regent of the Eastern Han dynasty. His father, He Xian, died early, so his mother, Lady Yin, remarried the warlord Cao Cao. He Yan thus grew up as Cao Cao's stepson. He gained a reputation for intelligence and scholarship at an early age, but he was unpopular and criticised for being arrogant and dissolute. He was rejected for government positions by both emperors Cao Pi and Cao Rui, but became a minister during the rule of Cao Shuang. When the Sima family took control of the government in a coup d'état in 249, he was executed along with all the other officials loyal to Cao Shuang. He Yan was, along with Wang Bi, one of the founders of the Daoist school of Xuanxue. He synthesised the philosophical schools of Daoism and Confucianism, believing that the two schools complemented each other.
