What is the personality type of Sabahattin? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Sabahattin from Bir Zamanlar Cukurova and what is the personality traits.
Sabahattin personality type is INTP, like Neha Kapur, who, like Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (not to be confused with the character of the same name by Jhumpa Lahiri), has both an encyclopaedic knowledge of post-colonial Indian history and the capacity to be both kind and tough, like her mother.
The encyclopaedic knowledge is to be expected since the INTP is the only type that makes connections between everything while the type is often described as “the encyclopaedia in your head”, while the toughness is because INTPs are good at seeing how things fit together. Neha Kapur’s mother, the actress Shabana Azmi, is an INTP.
You can see why our encyclopaedic hero would be good at understanding the role of women in the recent history of India. He would also know how all these pieces fit together. That is why he was so good at it. That is why he was so good at everything.
As you would expect, he does not fit into the standard stereotypes of the type. He did not fit into the stereotype of the encyclopaedically-minded Indian man either.
