The Fox MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is The Fox? The Fox is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sx/sp - 541 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
¶ “What is essential is invisible to the eye.” The INFJ philosophy summed up in one quote. Ni paired with Ti breaks down objective stimuli to their fundamental components until they can be represented in an abstracted image removed from reality. By this definition, the INFJ “essentializes.” This is why in Buddhism, for example, the Ajna chakra is also called the “third eye chakra” because through its intuitive leaps it is able to see beyond what is directly present through the sense perceptions. ¶ Van Der Hoop: "The introverted intuitive perceives connections and meaning in the internal world ... It is not primarily his own personal inner life that he grasps in this way, but rather inner life in general, the inner nature of things. The aim of intuition here is to perceive the ideal essence of all things." I also agree with the EII consensus. Types with strong Fi have the ability to judge the psychological distance between others and seek to form strong interpersonal bonds. This directly coincides with his philosophy on taming: ¶ “To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world…”
Biography
“To me, you will be unique in all the world.” Although the fox asks the little prince to tame him, the fox is in some ways the more knowledgeable of the two characters, and he helps steer the prince toward what is important in life. In the secret the fox tells the little prince before they say their good-byes, the fox sums up three important lessons: only the heart can see correctly; the prince’s time away from his planet has made him appreciate his rose more; and love entails responsibility.
