What personality type is Baron Helmut Zemo? Baron Helmut Zemo is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - sx/sp - 154 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Very typical INTJ villain. His scheme in Civil War is such a typical NiTe controlling of events from behind the scenes, acting ten steps ahead to bring about some desired end. In F&WS you see him anticipating where things will go & planning his next move while everyone else is still caught up in the current situation (like looking for a gun to shoot Nagel while the others are still interrogating him, and figuring out an escape route while the others are fighting the Dora). He makes big-picture statements identifying patterns, like when he was talking about putting super soldiers on pedestals which leads to people overlooking their flaws, which leads to destruction. His talk about "supremacy" leading to the Nazis and to the Avengers is extremely narrow Ni distilling everything down to a single cause (supported by his Fi lens through which he blamed the Avengers for losing his family), instead of considering the different circumstances and nuances of each situation. He accurately calls things before they happen. He predicted Karli would be too radicalized to stop and would only continue her mission, and...he was right. She didn't back down in the end and only apologized after she got shot because she was about to die. He also correctly stated that an empire that crumbles from within is dead forever. He got the Avengers to fight themselves and...they never really got back together. They remained separated and despite a brief reunion to fight Thanos, became a defunct organization with Tony's death & Cap's departure. He didn't confront the Avengers head-on, he did the subtle thing and got them to fight each other, making him ultimately more dangerous than the big baddies who tried to destroy them. Piercing Ni achieved what brute force Se couldn't. We see his Fi as the "relaxation" function in his hobbies; he enjoys collecting cars, is knowledgeable about art, and was very devoted to his family despite running a paramilitary death squad. "He may be crazy but he has a code"--that's Fi. As for inferior Se, he doesn't directly fight unless he has to, he prefers to manipulate from behind the scenes. In just about every non-action scene in F&WS he's either drinking alcohol or tea or eating sweets, like he was indulging in the things he'd missed while in jail. Also, the dance moves. Even from prison he's still playing the board (the bombing at the end of F&WS). Someone remarked "I guess Zemo got the last laugh after all" -- yeah, don't try to out-plan an INTJ.
Biography
Baron Helmut Zemo is a former Colonel with the Sokovian Armed Forces and a commander of EKO Scorpion. Following the Battle of Sokovia, Zemo became the terrorist mastermind who sought his revenge against the Avengers after losing his family and became obsessed with destroying them. Knowing he was no match against the Avengers, Zemo had planned to have them destroy themselves, by framing the Winter Soldier for killing T'Chaka, which caused Captain America to defend Barnes from the world. That action had caused their Avengers Civil War, in which Iron Man led their manhunt for Barnes and Zemo allowed Stark to discover that Barnes was responsible for his parents' murder. With the Avengers now in ruins, Zemo tried to shoot himself, but was captured by Black Panther and given to Joint Counter Terrorist Centre for his imprisonment. #MagnificentBastard
