What is the personality type of Fagin? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Fagin from Oliver & Company 1988 and what is the personality traits.
Fagin personality type is ENFP, the personification of the Idealist. They are the ones who care more about what is right than what is wrong and, in such cases, would rather let the system get away with it than help someone break the law. They are the ones that empower the system in which they live, not just because they are idealists, but because they know that it will do things in a way that helps everyone in the long run. They are the ones that teach the people around them that there are choices to be made in life, and that when you make a choice, there are consequences. They are the ones who believe that if people are able to make good choices in their own lives, they will have less of a chance to make poor choices in the lives of others. This is why they are so often the ones who are frowned upon when they choose to choose the moral choice over the easy choice.
As a character type, ENFPs are often misperceived as lazy or ignorant or stupid or goofy. They are not. They are the most empathetic of all people, and therefore can feel things deeply. Because of this, they often become overwhelmed by their own emotions, and this leads them to make impulsive choices.
