Firestar MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Firestar? Firestar is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sp - 162 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
i understand the 6w7 argument but deep down i still feel like firestar is a 1w2. yes he has 6 tendencies but his core motivations line up more with that of a 1. he does whatever he feels is right - even if it means breaking the code because it doesn't line up with his morals (stealing food to feed RiverClan despite them being ThunderClan's enemies, sneaking off to visit Ravenpaw to discover the truth behind Tigerclaw's treachery, etc.) He goes behind Bluestar's (the cat he is most loyal to) back to warn Tallstar of her attack idea to prevent it because Firestar believes that she isn't making the right choice. Sure, Firestar might've partially assisted RiverClan out of loyalty to Graystripe, but he was definitely motivated by his own personal dislike for letting other cats starve. He also fed Yellowfang - at that time an enemy who attacked him, even though he was fully aware it was against the code. He had no need to feel loyal to her, Firestar only fed her because he can't stand watching other cats suffer. In the first series, Firestar is often shunned by his clan for making the unpopular choice because he believed it to be the right one. I love 6s, but i just cant imagine one doing that over and over again like he does. Furthermore, Firestar always does what he believes is just and fair - giving up land to ShadowClan in Fading Echoes because he believes the land will suit them much better than ThunderClan. This is definitely a stretch, but i feel like some of his more questionable decisions, meeting with Princess and taking in Cloudkit, as well as snapping at Sandstorm that she can't understand him are examples of disintegration to 4. In these situations Firestar feels alienated and misunderstood by his clanmates, so he breaks the code to fulfill his own desires - rather than for justice, as 1s tend to turn to self-indulgence and moodiness when unhealthy. Furthermore, Firestar also demonstrates integration to 7 - in times of health, Firestar is very active and lighthearted, although i agree that this could also be attributed to integration to 9. I don't think Firestar missing Graystripe and Ravenpaw when they're gone is a result of him losing his support system. I just think he misses them because they're his friends. I don't think it goes much beyond that. Furthermore, being suspicious of Tigerclaw and then later Longtail/Darkstripe isnt really a 6 thing to me. Tigerstar is a mass murderer and they were his closest friends. Anyone would be scared and suspicious. I think Firestar definitely looks like a 6 because he has a triple compliant tritype, but Firestar values fairness and morality over his security, making him 1 > 6 in my opinion. Loyalty isn't a trait exclusive to 6s.
