Red Hood MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Red Hood? Red Hood is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sx/sp - 684 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.

To type Jason as an 8 seems to involve both a fundamental misunderstanding of his anger and of what a cp6 can actually look like. Virtually every action that Jason takes is fear based and survival instinct. He admits this himself, even in newer comic runs like the Urban Legends series. He is reactionary in the way only a cp6 is reactionary - a kicked dog biting every hand that reaches out toward him. It takes him a long time to develop trust in someone and they have to prove that it’s safe for him to do it over and over again, usually by making themselves vulnerable first. His distrust in/questioning of authority is also coming from the same place that a cp6 would show it, rather than an 8, and even when he tries to take over as Batman in comics like Battle for the Cowl…it isn’t because he actually wants to lead, it’s because he’s being reactive and angry. Hurt. Truly just the epitome of ISTP 6, the good and the bad. Added: “ This countertype Six tends to be bold, assertive or even intimidating, which may lead to mistyping as an Eight. The SX Six is counter-phobic, believing that the best defense is a good offence and reacting against typical Six fears by running towards any fear or danger. This head-on approach may appear rebellious or something of a daredevil. Their need to feel strength and safety makes it difficult to connect to their doubts or feelings of vulnerability.”

Biography

Jason Peter Todd is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. First appearing in Batman #357 in March 1983, he was created to succeed Dick Grayson as Robin, Batman's vigilante partner and sidekick. Initially sharing a similar origin to Grayson, his character was rewritten after the Crisis on Infinite Earths event. Orphaned as a child, Jason Todd grew up on the streets of Gotham City until Batman caught him trying to steal the hub-caps off the Batmobile. Taking him in, Batman trained Todd to become the next Robin as part of the Dynamic Duo—until Robin was beaten to death by the Joker. Resurrected by ripples in time that rewrote history, Todd crawled out of the grave and was eventually brought back to full health by the League of Assassins and a Lazarus Pit. After training in all the lethal methods Batman will not use, Todd returned to Gotham City and took on the name of one of Batman’s first foes: the Red Hood. When the new Red Hood ignited a war among Gotham’s gangs he was confronted by Batman, who prevented him from killing the Joker. Later, when a former Robin became the new Batman, the Red Hood returned and the two former sidekicks fought on opposite sides of the law. The Red Hood considers himself a hero, but his willingness to meet criminals’ violence with deadly force means the rest of the world considers him a villain. Unlike other heroes, for whom war on crime is a catharsis, the Red Hood dives into combat as an outlet for his consuming rage.
