John Doe MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is John Doe? John Doe is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - sx/so - 684 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
John is one of the most obvious Fi-dominant SX6s in fiction. If you read enough about the Enneagram, I honestly don't think you can come to any other conclusion than SX6 for him, he's pretty much straight from the E6-book. The Passion of Fear's influence over his entire personality couldn't be clearer, all of his behavioral traits manifest the way they do out of a need to cope with intense inner insecurity. He's deeply afraid of his own vulnerabilty, leading to him being as violent and aggressive as he is as a way to defend himself. John struggles immensely with anxiety and paranoia, guilt and shame. The fear of helplessness and the humiliation felt because of it (which is the primary concern of the SX6) is something he cannot handle. He over-identifies with the oppressed, as the victim, the one who deserves to fight back and destroy whatever threatens him or causes him pain. He lashes out at anyone who he believes <might> plan something against him, often attacking before being attacked in order keep himself from being potentially hurt and betrayed. However, he's also incredibly loyal if he thinks of you as a friend who got his back (though if he actually thinks of you that way depends on his mental state and paranoia) and he will go to any length to protect you. John is rebellious when he feels threatened and restricted and is obsessed with not being forced to do anything he doesn't want to by any hierarchy or authority that isn't of his choosing. He wants to own his fate and will fight for it. In that sense he also completely embodies the megalomania of that subtype, dealing with all the uncertainty by putting all his faith into a grand self-image of unstoppable strength and power, often threatening and intimidating others with it. One of the major traits of his character is his relationship with guilt and self-accusation. As with any E6, this also plays a huge part in the sexual subtype and John is a perfect example of all the ways it copes with said guilt. First there's the need for moral superiority. In order to justify its violent and oppositional behavior, the SX6 holds onto strong ethical principles that function as an "excuse" for why it's acting the way it does. <The other is the enemy, the evil one who needs to be fought against, the one who attacked me or those close to me first or threatens to take away what belongs to me. I'm the one who deserves to fight back, I only defend myself or others, I'm good> That is essentially the mindset of the SX6 when it protects itself from recognizing its own "evil monster", it doesn't want to see itself as immoral and selfish. Because when it does, it becomes its own greatest enemy, persecutor, judge and "executioner" . It will accuse itself with the same critical vehemence that it accused others with. This is one of the worst and most painful experiences for the SX6 and it's exactly what John is going through. He's always switching between accusing others for being the actual evil ones that deserve everything he's doing to them to condemning himself as a monster that doesn't derserve forgiveness. The amount of times he used E6's Projection to protect his fragile sense of self-worth cannot be counted. All the negative things about himself that he hates get projected onto others, his enemies, who are all liars, hypocrites, cowards, selfish, evil, monsters. The author even visualizes this in the way his inner thoughts are written by having one sentence of him accusing others ("they are all worthless, they deserve what is coming to them") written over another sentence in a different color where we get to see how he thinks of himself ("I'm completely worthless, I dont deserve forgiveness") -"Faced with guilt, the sexual Six becomes defensive, justifying himself and projecting his internal enemy onto others, whom he criticizes, assuming the right to judge them. Once he has separated good from evil, he projects this outside to cultivate the illusion of always presenting himself as good and just, because inside he feels that he hides a monster. Intellectually justifies the existence of this monster for having been mistreated, misunderstood, abused. He must therefore protect himself from humanity, which is evil, which gives him the opportunity to undertake crusades against social injustice."" -"As explained, the basic cognitive distortion of the Fear-type is self-rejection, which, in the case of the counterphobic, manifests in attributing to the other the blame for one's own suffering of being rejected. It is a projection onto the other of his self-rejection, in order not to come into contact with a low self-esteem that is actually experienced as contempt for himself, for his own falsehood, weakness and dependency." -"He feels deeply bad and unworthy, although he disguises this experience with the conviction of being on the side of the just and of those who are right."
