What is the personality type of Xiaosi? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Xiaosi from Farewell My Concubine 1993 and what is the personality traits.
ESFJ (3w2)
Xiaosi personality type is ESFJ, and I think it’s interesting to explore the various ways that different personality types can express themselves.
I am not a social worker or psychologist and I don’t claim to be an expert in the field of personality psychology, so I am not going to make any kind of detailed analysis of this topic. However, I can at least provide some analysis of the general process of how the four types define themselves (in my own words).
So, here are my thoughts on the matter:
1. What personality type are you?
It is not enough to just identify your type and leave it at that. You need to be able to explain where your personality type comes from and why you have it. Knowing why you have a certain personality type is also an important consideration when you decide whether or not to take it into account when making decisions in your life. There are many different ways to define your type and I have written about them in the past (here and here).
2. How could your personality type help you?
This kind of question is important because it helps you justify some of the decisions you make in your life.
