Philip II of Spain MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Philip II of Spain? Philip II of Spain is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sp - 163 in Enneagram, RCOEN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
He was by no means an extrovert. He was known to be pretty reserved. He tried to cover his shyness and insecurities with seriousness and thus he was perceived as cold, distant and even insensitive, though he wasn't as bitter or dark as thought. Due to his stoic upbringing, he was a very strict and hard working man who would be called a "workaholic" today. He was known for taking his time when taking decisions. He was a pretty religious man that valued duties and traditions, whose image was shadowed by the black legend his enemies spread across Europe. The man enjoyed philosophy and astronomy, and even took part in the design of "El Monasterio de El Escorial". Even though he was ambitious, his religious policies (among other things) prove he was strict and didn't think "outside the box". Seems like an obvious ISTJ to me
