Stilgar MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Stilgar? Stilgar is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/so - 963 in Enneagram, RCUEN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
Once you look past the comic relief of Stilgar shouting "Lisan Al-Gaib" in every scene, what you will see is the tragedy behind the fanaticism that encapsulates Sexual 6. Stilgar is a character that was looking for someone or something to believe in and this need for belief is what made him fanatically devoted to the idea of the prophecies surrounding the Lisan Al-Gaib. He saw his answer in Paul Atreides and that turned him into a fanatic. This is literally a Sexual 6 in neuroses. "The sexual Six stands out as possessing a point of view and an analytical capacity that most do not have, or do not manifest. It is as if the person passionate about force feels empowered by a global vision, a broader perspective of the relationships and implications in a system. It is believed that you know the right path, and with the right to pressure those around you to accept your unique vision or your precepts" "He experiences the ambivalence of not accepting external authority while experiencing absolute loyalty. Through a strange carambola of resignifications and rationalizations, he does manage to live the loyalty towards the authority figure that he effectively recognizes -and very few people have this privilege-, while perceiving himself as independent, detached from the hierarchy, as if it were not with him or her. Similarly, when it comes to the power of a group, separated and differentiated, however, he will do everything to build loyalty towards his friends and colleagues, thus ensuring a non-threatening environment." The contrast between the different E6 characters in Dune is quite fascinating to me. You can see how Stilgar approaches Fear by assuming a position of strength, fanatically devoting himself to the prophecy as opposed to Paul's more ambivalent and ambiguous attitude evoking that of the Self-Preservation 6 or Gurney's devotion to the Atreides banner evoking the Social 6.
