Curt Connors / The Lizard MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Curt Connors / The Lizard? Curt Connors / The Lizard is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - so/sp - 592 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

“In nature, everything's connected. As scientists, we explore and expand on those connections. Maybe as people, we should do the same.” - INTP 5w6 so/sp 592 MBTI - Ti-Ne-Si-Fe —> Ti-Fe: I feel that Dr Connors “[desired] to make everything [he saw] and [experienced] in life fit logically into what [he] already knew to be true”, his “mind” having been in a “constant state of analysis”. — I feel that the above quote from “Interactions” (S1-E2) made for a telling indicator of the investigative nature of Dr Connors’s Ti, how he sought to derive the logical “connective tissues” that binds science together, seeking into look into all things and learn about them. —> Ti-Ne: I feel that “Ne” helped Dr Connors to “imagine unique ways to resolve real world issues”, this function having “constantly [fed him] ideas in [his] everyday life”. — I do not have much to go off of besides memory, but in “Persona” (S1-E10), I believe Dr Connors was cerebrally stimulated by the possibility of alien life in the form of the Symbiote, having sought to explore the different possibilities that the entity might have brought. —> Ti-Si: I feel that Dr Connors was more than likely “crunching on Si”, having possibly “[refused] to leave a toxic situation”, due to having been “accustomed to dealing with it”, as well as possibly used “Ti-Ne” to “rationalize that it could get better in the future”. — Ugh, I am sorry, I cannot recall the specific episode in which this took place— perhaps around the time that Dr Warren assisted Kraven in genetic modification, but Dr Warren himself was able to manipulate and blackmail Dr Connors through his own lizard genetics research, an area in which Dr Connors more than likely had unresolved questions about. ENNEAGRAM - 5w6 so/sp 592 —> Type 5: To some degree or another, I feel Dr Connors may have tended to “bypass [his] emotional centre”, especially in his “communications with people”, having spent “less time” with people, especially as it pertained to his inherent insecurities. — Perhaps this Type 5 insecurity came out in “Natural Selection” (S1-E3), Dr Connors perhaps having felt the need to try to connect himself to humanity rather than being estranged from it, especially through secret application of the lizard DNA. —> Wing 6: I feel that Dr Connors was “focused on discovery and investigation”, having been more “scientific”, but also “more friendly” than Wing 4, “yet emotionally detached”. — Again tying back to the instance with Dr Warren taking over the ESU lab and preparing unethical experiments; Dr Connors more than likely felt there was a security concern to the societal application of science. —> so/sp: I feel that Dr Connors was more than likely instinctually focused on the “‘Participation & Contribution’” aspect of the Social Instinct, having sought to “know that [his] efforts [were] meaningful to others”. — Perhaps towards the end of Season 2, Dr Connors had to begrudgingly go along with the social order of things per Dr Warren taking over ESU labs and he also had to be mindful of his family’s safety through the Self-Preservation Instinct, such as in his and Martha Connors’s decision to move the family to Florida.

Thanks.
