What is the personality type of Phineas “Finny” Smith ? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Phineas “Finny” Smith from If He Had Been With Me and what is the personality traits.
Phineas “Finny” Smith personality type is INFJ, which means he is introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. He also has the curious trait of being an observer, which means he has a very good sense of observation. This allows him to see what others don’t (and often uses this to his advantage later in the series).
“The introverted feeling type F, like Finny, thinks more before he speaks. They are more likely to speak through actions than words. While Fs can be very passive, they are most often very active in their thinking and planning. They rely on their intuition in order to understand complex situations. Fs are very sensitive to the needs of others and often become frustrated when their advice is not taken to heart. Fs are often good listeners and seek to understand others. They are interested in learning about why people do the things they do. Fs make good counselors and teachers because they like to help others understand themselves and the world around them.”
All of these traits are very accurate, especially when you consider Finny is a 17 year old boy living in a small town in Washington at the beginning of the show.
This is where I think some fans of the show might be disappointed in.
