INFJ (9w1)
Jamal Lyon personality type is INFJ, which is often described as "the Counselor" or the "Counselor/Provider". The INFJ is the rarest type in the world, with one in every 30,000 people in the world being INFJ. That's only 1.5% of the world's population. If you are an INFJ, you are more likely to be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. This is because Autism is more prevalent among "the counselor" types (INFJ, INTJ, ENFJ, ISFJ), and INFJs are more likely to be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder than other personality types. My case, however, is unique because I was diagnosed with high functioning autism - instead of Asperger's syndrome.

Jamal Joseph Lyon is a fictional character from the American musical drama, Empire on Fox. Portrayed by Jussie Smollett, Jamal is the middle son of hip-hop mogul Lucious and his wife Cookie. Jamal, a talented R&B singer and songwriter, struggles to gain his father's approval, but is able to overcome this adversity with Cookie's support. He initially expresses resentment towards fame and is hesitant to be in the limelight, but he gradually embraces it once Cookie begins to manage his career. Jamal engages in what was once a friendly competition against his younger brother and best friend Hakeem to determine who is more musically gifted, while maintaining a cold distance from his older brother Andre for his perpetual scheming. Jamal struggles with his father's objection to his homosexuality, which was inspired by Empire creator Lee Daniels' own relationship with his father. In 2019, Smollett was fired from Empire following a major act of disorderly conduct.
