The Man in the Iron Mask Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of The Man in the Iron Mask? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for The Man in the Iron Mask from Criminals and what is the personality traits.
ENTP (7w6)
The Man in the Iron Mask personality type is ENTP, which is one of our eight archetypal types (the others are ISTJ, ESFJ, ESTJ, INFJ, INTJ, INTP, and ISTP). There are many books about the Man in the Iron Mask personality type, and the one I’m reviewing is by one of the most prominent of these authors.
Again, I’m not the first to write on this. (See “The Man in the Iron Mask”, by Linda Berendzen; published by HarperCollins; copyright 2002; ISBN 0-06-091020-7.)
So, this is a review of the first edition. A new edition is expected for 2007 or so.
As with most of my reviews on this site, I’m going to assume you’ve read this review before reading on, so I’ll say no more than that here. I’m just reviewing the book, not suggesting that it’s better than other books on MBTI.
The book is basically a guide to the MBTI test for people who are interested in learning more about themselves.
The Man in the Iron Mask (French L'Homme au Masque de Fer; c. 1640 – 19 November 1703) was an unidentified prisoner who was arrested in 1669 or 1670 and subsequently held in a number of French prisons, including the Bastille and the Fortress of Pignerol (modern Pinerolo, Italy). Known for remaining unidentified due to the veil worn over his face throughout his time in prison, he was held in the custody of the same jailer, Bénigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, for a period of 34 years. He died on 19 November 1703 under the name Marchioly, during the reign of King Louis XIV of France (1643–1715).
