What is the personality type of Phife Dawg? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Phife Dawg from Hip Hop Rap Dance & Randb and what is the personality traits.
Phife Dawg personality type is ESFP, which is a great fit, given his role in the hip-hop group. I think this is also the case with Q-Tip. His ESFP type is sometimes reflected in his lyrics, which can be ironic when he’s rapping about social issues, but when he’s talking about love, he tends to use “type-specific” language that is very much in agreement with his type.
The two other members in the group, Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, are both ISTP. I can see why they would be in this group. The two of them often seem to rely on their own judgement and insights to make decisions, and sometimes they act on these impulses without thinking about how they will be perceived by others. Ali Shaheed Muhammad has also given his own definition of the group (he’s called it A Tribe Called Quest), which is very similar to mine.
I know that not everyone agrees with this analysis, but I definitely do. I think that the best way to verify it is to look at the lyrics of the group’s songs. If you want to be more critical, I’d recommend listening to them yourself.
