Charles II of England MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Charles II of England? Charles II of England is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sp/so - in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Ok, now I’ve thought about it and studied him more, there is no way he’s a core 7w8. He’s 100% 9w8. He was quite conflict averse, which is something no 7w8 is. He was incredibly charming and affable, which is more common in core attachment types. 7w8s are far more obnoxious and can be hard to like due to the double assertiveness. Literally the only argument for 7w8 is that he was a womanising partier, which is a terrible argument. Because 9w8s can be incredibly lustful and focused on their own pleasure, especially if sp first. Also, the 379 tri type of any order and stacking is incredibly sexually permissive. He was also known for being lazy AF, while assertive types can be lazy, they’re driven. He just wanted to survive, be chill and have fun, there was no drive to make his reign stand out in any way, he really just let things happen and reacted when it was necessary. 9w8 7w6 3w2 sp/so
Biography
Charles II was known as the Merry Monarch for his colourful reign, a stark contrast to the Puritan regime that preceded him. He kept tensions in the Kingdoms under control to some extent, although the problems that had dethroned his father remained and he had some conflict with Parliament. Despite having at least thirteen children from five mistresses, he left no legitimate issue. He may have converted to Catholicism on his deathbed, although conflicting reports had him in a coma at the time; certainly he flirted with the idea beforehand and promised to promote it secretly (though how serious he was we cannot know) in exchange for French money. His last words concerned taking care of Nell Gwyn, his favourite mistress. Charles's popularity was in part attributed to him staying in London when the Great Fire of London hit in 1666 and helping out with the firefighting (similar to how the Royal Family gained respect when they stuck around for the Blitz in 1940).
