ENFJ (2w3)
Hatshepsut personality type is ENFJ, and her childhood was characterized by a persistent fear of abandonment and rejection by her parents, and the consequent need to be clingy and dependent towards them and on her. Her need to be loved and valued by others and her inability to endure the loneliness of being rejected led her to be what she called a "featherbrain," i.e., a person who is unable to think for herself and stick to her own ideas. In her later adulthood she developed a personality disorder characterized by narcissistic tendencies, excessive vanity, deep-seated insecurity, and an inability to accept criticism.
In one of my previous blogs, I wrote that Hatshepsut was probably not a very good pharaoh, but that is a matter of opinion. I also said she was a great queen, a great woman, and a great conqueror. I hold the same view about her personality type. She was a very capable woman who made a lot of progress in Egypt's political and economic development. Hatshepsut had an intuitive ability to see the possibilities of things, and she was also a fearless leader who knew when to take risks and when to be cautious.
Hatshepsut (/hætˈʃɛpsʊt/; also Hatchepsut; Egyptian: ḥꜣt-šps.wt "Foremost of Noble Ladies"; 1507–1458 BC) was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. She was the second historically-confirmed female pharaoh, the first being Sobekneferu. (Various other women may have also ruled as pharaohs regnant or at least regents before Hatshepsut, as early as Neithhotep around 1600 years prior.)
