Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin? Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - so/sx - 925 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
One of my all-time favorite characters, especially of Dostoevsky's. He is so oriented towards helping others (Fe) and has a clear understanding how others such as Nastasya Filipovna's relationships will pan out (Ni). Often, he is described as clumsy (inferior Se) and obviously, one of the main themes of the novel is that he suffers from epilepsy to the point of idiocy. Yet, throughout his life we see him as kind-hearted, generous, and something of a poet. As for enneagram, I was conflicted between 9 and 2, but seeing as how he is quick to jump to other's defenses, like when Ganya threatens to hit his sister, this seems like more of a 2-type behavior. Not to say 9s can't do this, but he doesn't have quite the kind of passive, anti-conflict nature.
