Thomas More MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Thomas More? Thomas More is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - sx/sp - 741 in Enneagram, SCUEI in Big 5, in Socionics.
I have just finished reading a biography of him. He is described as someone joyful, who can find a silver lining in even the most terrible of situations, who has a sense of humour, good at improvising, acting, extroverted and friendly, not at all angry, someone who sees people as equal, fond of music, fun at conversations, fond of jokes and pranks, kind, clever, cheerful, curious etc. Utopia is filled with Ne and Fi. And it has signs of inferior Si (disdain for the conventional) He's a very Fi type of person though, not an NT at all, definitely an NF. After reading Utopia, and some biographies, and his letters to and from Erasmus, I am convinced this man was the quintessential enneagram 7, most likely 7w6. He's a very integrated and healthy 7, who shows characteristics of type 5 too, but also has the type 1 idealistic perspectives. I believe him to be an ENFP 7w6, tritype 127.
Biography
Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary, ideal island nation. More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin Luther, John Calvin and William Tyndale. More also opposed the king Henry VIII's, separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and executed. Of his execution, he was reported to have said: "I die the King's good servant, and God's first".
