Warrior (Hero) MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Warrior (Hero)? Warrior (Hero) is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sp - 837 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
Warrior is an archetype of the mature masculine, so more types can fit in it naturally once they are mature. Most portrayals are by extraverted types but we do place in stories ISTP and ISFP-resembling types, for example, frequently as well. The hero archetype is an archetype of the immature masculine (the teenage). So Warrior and Hero are not the same. The archetypes of the collective unconscious are portrayed purely by Ni-Se types. So cutting back from this point, the warrior is also a representative of force, cynicism - the warrior has fought battles and learned their reality. True wars are not heroic and exalting, but are messy, filled with death and loss. The warrior is the hero that got burned, that has fallen and had to get up. The one that doesn't believe in ideals anymore and has a real view over the world. We mostly associate this type of realism (realism through experience) with xSTP types.
Biography
This is usually the protagonist. Its main characteristics are the courage and the strength to win, no matter the challenges. This archetype generally defines one who tries to prove his competence through grandiose acts, seeking a greater good, usually for the next, but it can happen to want for himself too. He often ends up becoming a martyr.
