What is the personality type of Ian Gloucester? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Ian Gloucester from Eternal Covenant and what is the personality traits.
Ian Gloucester personality type is ISTP, which means that he is introverted, sensing, thinking, and perceiving.
That ISTP personality type is an "ideas" personality type is a bit of a misnomer. In order to be an ISTP, you can't just have ideas. To be an ISTP, you have to have ideas. In fact, the quality of the ideas is more important than their quantity.
An ISTP must have ideas that are so expansive, so complete, and so dynamic that they are visual and tactile in nature. Ideas can come by in three ways: either a "gut" feeling, a sudden burst of insight, or a rigorous testing and evaluation process.
Ideas are everything to an ISTP. It is often the case that an ISTP is the one who is more interested in the subject matter than other people. This is both because the ISTP has difficulty "fitting in" and because it is how they access their ideas.
In Gifts of Prophecy, author Andrew Bacevich describes an ISTP as someone "with a talent for abstract thought, for seeing things in their entirety and for making connections that elude other people."
