What is the personality type of Jean Lundegaard? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Jean Lundegaard from Fargo 1996 and what is the personality traits.
Jean Lundegaard personality type is ISFJ, the ‘Protector’. ISFJ is a very caring, responsible and reliable personality. These personality types often have a deep seated fear of not being able to provide for others and are often highly protective of the people they care about. For example, if you were to tell me that you were abused as a child I would be more likely than most to be concerned and potentially seek out the help of a mental health professional.
Lundegaard has stated that he was abused as a child. However, this is unlikely to be the reason why he became a pedophile. Rather, it is likely that he developed pedophilic tendencies at an early age, perhaps when he was still a child himself, and then began to abuse children as an adult.
My guess is that Lundegaard was born with pedophilic tendencies and these were later reinforced by a traumatic childhood experience. He was unable to deal with his feelings and turned to sex instead, perhaps as a way to try to gain control over his feelings.
