Keqing MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Keqing? Keqing is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sp - 163 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
Probably one of the most introverted ENTJs, similar to Light Yagami and Erwin Smith. Keqing is not aggressive or controlling, and she doesn't overindulge in her Se like some stereotypical ENTJs do, particularly 8w7s. So being a 1w2 makes Keqing an oddball, because they are naturally more introspective and idealistic. The gap between her extroverted and introverted functions is almost invisible, so I understand why people think she may be an INTJ instead. And while I see she has problems with both Se and Fi, I think the latter fits more as her inferior function. Inferior Se can manifest as a difficulty interacting with the external environment and bringing plans to fruition. As Ni is the function most detached from reality, INTJs are often so stuck in their head that they overthink everything and end up unable to accomplish anything, which is why they are known as the most perceiving judgers. Procrastination is antithetical to Keqing's ideology, so it doesn't make sense for her to be Se inferior when she has no problem getting things done. Keqing has good control over her Fi too as seen in the moonchase festival, but using it too much makes her very uncomfortable and acts as the root of all her worries. It reminds me of how Kokomi gets exhausted and has to recharge her energy after using her Fe in public. Both characters acknowledge their inferior function and actively work to improve it. Also, her big 5 type doesn't make sense. How is Keqing egotistical when characters like Albedo and Sara are typed as accommodating? It should be obvious after the moonchase quest, as Xiangling describes her as "good-natured and easy to be around. The kind of person everyone wants to know." I never understood the typing even when everyone thought Keqing was just some skeptic who hated the gods. She's one of the richest people in the land of Teyvat, yet she is also one of the least materialistic and instead prefers to live modestly. She criticizes Ningguang for treating Liyue as just some moneymaker and not having principles. Despite being a member of the aristocracy, she spent months working low-wage jobs just so she could better understand how to improve the living conditions for the workers. She reminds everyone that Yuheng is just a title and that when speaking to her they don't have to walk on eggshells. The only thing she does as a reward for herself is shopping for rex lapis figurines and eating golden shrimp balls. Keqing always prioritizes the wellbeing of others before herself (just that she knows how to relax and doesn't break her back helping others as Jean and Noelle do), yet she still worries if she's a bad person. Doesn't this point to her being accommodating? Also, while I agree she's cognitively extroverted, she certainly isn't social. She gets overwhelmed by Xiangling's energy and warmth, and even small compliments from Ganyu make her very flustered. Her Serenitea pot dialogue as well as her concerns with talking to Xiangling suggest that she has a hard time making friends, which suggests she's reserved.
