Stan Smith MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Stan Smith? Stan Smith is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - so/sx - 683 in Enneagram, SLOEN in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.

Argument for 6w7 sx/so for Stan Smith: Reactive first for sure. For 6 vs 8, 6s are quite reliant on others - like their approval, acceptance, and judgments and for example the way he views popularity, fitting in with the other CIA agents doesn't seem like 8 core. I do think that SX is first though. Since that counterphobic stance of SX 6s towards fear is more fitting - intimidating others and proving strength to make sure that they're not vulnerable or attacked. SX 6s also do instill fear in others because it's not just enough to be strong. "An 8 doesn't necessarily sit around and think about their fear or what could attack them." Don't see this being his case really. Stan possesses a sense of vigilance and reactivity to perceived threats as his main I would say. Also, from his personality description, there's a lot of mentions about unhealthy 6 traits. Like his xenophobia, vigilance, being quite one sided in his views and loyal to his country - the USA - and feminine/masculine ideals and traditions. Also staunch political views and reverence to political figures such as Ronald Reagan and loyalty to the Republican Party. Direct quotes from the Wiki: "He frequently argues with Hayley over her liberal political views and appears to somewhat distrust her. He occasionally uses his CIA status and near-totalitarian views to attempt to control every aspect of her life" "Stan worships Ronald Reagan, quoting his speeches and even going as far as choosing a dog because it was alive during Reagan's administration." "Stan is very xenophobic and vigilant. In "Homeland Insecurity", he profiled the new neighbors, Bob and Linda Memari as terrorists because of their Iranian heritage" " Stan has done very irrational things; the first of which was due to his xenophobia" "He is so proud of the United States that he hates anything foreign" "Stan is very traditional" His duty and dedication to his country and the CIA, which is basically central to the whole show, couldn't more accurately convey his type.
