Scott Cawthon MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Scott Cawthon? Scott Cawthon is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/so - in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.

Not INTJ. Where's the Ni? He thought FNAF was going to be a very small hit at best, even after it was already gaining traction (ostensibly since that's what he had gotten used to with his previous games). I think Ne fits him much better. He's an insanely creative person, and FNAF just keeps getting more and more complex, with new ideas added in each installment. As for his auxiliary function, I think Fi makes a lot of sense. He almost quit game-development altogether because people said the main character in one of his games (pre-fnaf) looked scary. Furthermore, for a long time, his projects were highly driven by his Christian ideals which he still retains to this day. If you look at his behavior in interviews, ENFP seems pretty accurate, at least in my opinion.
