What is the personality type of Buddy Kane? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Buddy Kane from American Beauty 1999 and what is the personality traits.
Buddy Kane personality type is ENTJ, and the one we encountered in the latter stages of the book was definitely an ENTJ—the former, we can say with some confidence, is a C-type and the latter is an E-type. The latter is much more aggressive and much more likely to abuse his power and his position.
The Buddy Kane personality type is often described as intelligent but self-serving, and that’s very accurate. The ENTJ in the latter stages of the story (and this is not a criticism—he’s a perfectly healthy psychopath) has a very specific way of using his intelligence. However, he can be very charming and very smooth in dealing with people, because it’s so easy to get people to do what you want them to do when you’re a psychopath.
ENTJs are not very good at dealing with other people. They’re fine with their own people, but they have trouble with anyone else. They have trouble building relationships, because they don’t understand how to do that. They have trouble empathizing. They have trouble understanding that just because other people have a different personality type from them doesn’t mean that they’re not human beings.
