Jiang Cheng MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 683 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
Did the personality typing for Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei get switched or something? XD I am currently reading the novel. From what I have read so far, Jiang Cheng doesn't strike me as an ISTP at all. He demonstrates Te and Fi too well for him to be an ISTP. Now, why do I think he is an INTJ? Spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk. His leading style during the basketball game is very Ni-Te. He is judgmental. Judges people on looks, has preconceived but intuitive notions about people, example - "He always felt that regardless of gender, whoever put on a long-knitted jacket could pick up a bowl and go begging on the street.' Now I know this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the functions but it's quite typical of INTJ thinking, possibly an ISFP even. His loneliness and the way he describes it seems very Fi to me. I could be a little biased here because I have started relating to him very strongly at this point. When they entered the classroom, Gu Fei walked without even looking at the teacher but he felt guilty and felt like giving a remorseful expression to the teacher was necessary. He has a moral code. He says he would beat people badly but even he is not cruel enough to leave a person out in the freezing cold. His sarcasm and his jokes also are quite typical of INTJ humour. Eg: 1. "My friends and I huh.." Gu Fei laughed, "We eat very wonderfully. I'm afraid you won't be able to endure it." "What? Eat...****?" Jiang Cheng blurted out. 2. Wang Xu : "uses the idiom 'don't drag my hind leg' in a conversation. JC looks at his hind leg under the table and GF explains this reaction of his to WX, when the latter asked what JC was doing. Some instances of inferior Se or just lack of common sense in general: "How are we going to grill the dumplings?" JC GF: "We won't grill them we'll boil them." JC: "oh...." He is just awfully bad at the more practical activities like assembling a bookshelf, cooking, etc. He accepts it and has no intention of improving. He is also almost always untrusting and curious about things. Not saying, it's a type exclusive trait, just putting it up here because it's sort of relevant. He is quite literally the hard exterior - soft interior stereotype of INTJ, unlike Gu Fei. Also, while playing the Craz3 game, it's been said repeatedly that JC likes to be thorough and calculate every move to predict a future move, meanwhile, GF doesn't think too much about it and goes with whatever seems most prudent at the moment. JC likes being in control. He likes to be well researched and plan things. The boy made notes for sex smh. Gu Fei, who is burdened by the extreme adversities has no ambition in life, Cheng-ge on the other hand cannot fathom being ambitionless. He has had his career planned out since middle school. Cheng-ge is very observant and he doesn't let the other person know he is being 'observant' (idk if it makes sense?). There are moments where it would seem like Cheng-ge doesn't lead with Ni, but that is inevitable considering this is a work of fiction and there could obviously be a disconnect between personality and cognitive functions at times. I'll keep on editing this with more instances. This will be a common analysing thread for JC and GF both.
