Denethor MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Denethor? Denethor is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w9 - sp/sx - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
He was considered far-sighted even before he got his hands on the Palantir. The reason he makes such poor use of it and misreads the future in RotK isn't because he isn't an Ni-dom, it's because he's in a major NiFi loop after Boromir's death. His Ni-Te should be obvious; he's a constant schemer who always fishes for information and is able to guess a lot more than he's told.
Biography
Denethor is the Steward of Gondor, ruling the nation from Minas Tirith in the absence of the King. He is used to being in charge and does not like the idea of having to give up power to the (possibly) rightful claimant to the throne. Denethor denies Aragorn's kingship on the basis that he is not Anárion's heir, whom the council of Gondorian nobles has always held the be only proper holder of the title 'King of Gondor.' Aragorn does descend from Anárion through Fíriel, daughter of King Ondoher of Gondor, but he is not a direct male-line descendant.
