Roman Roy MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Roman Roy? Roman Roy is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - sp/sx - 748 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
Am I off-base or is he not a classic 6? Suspicious, defensive, critical, anxiety-driven, constantly seeks consensus/support and is very cautious about going out on a limb alone, second-guesses himself after any major decision, likes clear hierarchies and feels safest when he knows his place within them, extremely loyal and devoted to "his" people and sensitive to threats from the "outside", provocative and boundary-testing so long as the stakes are low but backs down instantly in the face of any real conflict or power-struggle, ultimately just wants a big dominant boss figure to tell him what to do and how to be because he doesn't trust his own judgement or believe he can survive on his own. I can see the argument for 4 and I agree that he has a 4-fix, but 7 as a core makes no sense to me. 7s can be grounded, realistic, and even cynical up to a point, but they're optimistic at heart and gluttons for experience. Roman is kind of the opposite: he's wary, pessimistic, negative, fatalist - does he ever seem to enjoy or take genuine pleasure in anything, really? And what kind of 7 "loves the boot because [they] love to be kicked by it"? 7s whole thing is avoiding pain; Roman is the kicked dog in Caroline's analogy who always comes back for more punishment, both out of love/loyalty and (I think) because he sees the kick as so inevitable that it's almost reassuring when it happens, like he can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop. Typing him with an 8-fix or an 8-wing is honestly bizarre, too - he has no genuine impulse to dominate. It's kind of a key aspect of his character, that he can't/doesn't want to "f/ck", in the literal or business sense, and understanding this is pretty crucial to understanding his relationship with Logan, since it's really this aspect of him that Logan finds so off-putting and "wrong". Also, re. ENTP vs ENFP - I guess I can see where ENFP typers are coming from, but ultimately I think Roman tends to be quite attuned to the emotional environment in a way that's more consistent with tert fe than high fi. This is why he's both so good at being cruel/cutting and why he's capable of surprising empathy at times - these aren't inconsistent traits; both come down to an emotional awareness which can be used for good (empathy/connection) or evil (trolling, basically) depending on the circumstances. This sets Roman in contrast to high fi Kendall, who is far less inclined to be cruel (and much less effective at it when he is), but also rather less likely to empathise with others in an outward-reaching way.
