Personality
What personality type is William Afton? William Afton is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/sx - 583 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
[1/?] CW mentions of abuse. Many people don't see William as an enneagram 5 with w6, so I'll make an argument supporting the e5 consensus. William's life goal was to create animatronics, later obtain immortality. "Type Five is a Head triad, and so, the fixation for Type Five is fear. But what is the fear of a Type Five? Type Five is naturally withdrawn, existing in a state of separation from others that is not easily remedied. This is more than just introversion, this is a fundamental and existential belief that the Type Five cannot ever completely connect with others. There will always be some part of them that remains withdrawn, no matter how extroverted they happen to be. Thus, the fear is helplessness; that they will end up stranded on their existential island of isolation. That fear is addressed through careful observation and planning. They operate from a conservative position, looking to act when the benefits are the greatest and the risks are the lowest. This is one manifestation of their Freudian ego fixation, which rationally balances out the impulsive desires of the Id against the cautious, risk-adverse Superego." Afton is seen isolating himself from the people closest to him (i.e family). He seems to only care about his work, as seen in one of the novels, he hits his daughter for only disturbing his work. "The virtue of Type Five is detachment. Detachment provides the Type Five with security, as they are capable of observing and planning without being put at risk. This trait causes Type Fives to often be uncomfortable with their own emotions, seeing them as a hindrance to detachment. Fives often fear becoming too attached to a situation, and prefer to observe from afar." He doesn't like to be upfront with his wrong doings, he likes to be hidden, not draw attention to himself, using the Spring Bonnie suit to mask his identity. He is also a good planner, insightful, as seen that he didn't get caught at all with the killings, and his animatronics blueprints. Afton's biggest fear is death itself. As seen in his iconic quote "I always come back" He does anything to prevent dying. The arguments for e8 make sense, but that is taken care of by his tritype, and 5s integration to 8. Now for his 6 wing. His desire alongside researching immortality and completing his goal is security (shown by his fear of death) "Type Six is a superego type, and because of that, is primarily concerned with systems (whether internal or external) to help alleviate their existential fears. Type Five with a Six wing, therefore, checks their knowledge against the concreteness of the outside world. For this reason, 5w6 is the stereotypical “Scientist” type as they tend to be more methodical and concrete than 5w4. I have no doubt that the “scientific method” as currently known was formulated by a 5w6 at some point." Afton uses his research to affect real life situations (making the funtimes and Baby to kill children to make remenant, also the Scooper) William's entire character arc is how he creates genius machines to assist his research, create remenant, and in the end avoiding death. I am sure his enneagram would be more understood when we figure out his IV, but I am still unsure. Have a lovely night or day, depening on the time you read this. Have some William quotes. "What a deceptive calling. I knew it was a lie, the moment I heard it, obviously, but it is intriguing nonetheless..." "That was easier than I thought it would be."

Biography
Otherwise known within the fandom as the Purple Guy (after his initial appearance in FNaF 2), William Afton is the definitive villain of the entire Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. He is an amoral serial killer who targets children for nebulous reasons which only become hinted at over the course of the series. While he only rarely makes a physical appearance in-game, his influence can be felt in the various death minigames that pepper the games, and he takes center-stage in the third, sixth and eighth games.
