What is the personality type of Xander? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Xander from The Idol 2022 and what is the personality traits.
Xander personality type is INFJ, and the Buffy personality type is ENFP.
As with the other four Myers-Briggs types, the INFJ and ENFP are ideal-types. These are the types that people are supposed to be.
(A lot of people read the descriptions of Myers-Briggs personality types and think, "Oh, that's me! I am that person!" But if you're a Myers-Briggs type, you don't necessarily think that about yourself. Your type is simply an ideal type, something you would like to be, but that is not the case for everyone.)
In Buffy's case, she was portrayed as being a realist. Realists tend to be in the INTJ category, which is why Xander was initially in that category, and why Joss Whedon made him a more realistic ISTJ instead.
However, after the writers got more into writing about Buffy and her relationships with others, they realized that Xander was in fact an INFJ – someone with idealism who also had a strong intuition side.
