Benoit Blanc MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Benoit Blanc? Benoit Blanc is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - 512 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

*SPOILERS FOR GLASS ONION* The final sequence of Benoit unraveling the means and motivations behind the murder is so Ni it’s not even funny. Benoit is aggravated and dumbfounded by the fact there wasn’t any grand plan behind the murder, so angered in fact he calls the killer stupid because if it. Furthermore, the blatant unoriginality of the second attempted murder pisses him off even more. The killer essentially just taking the idea Benoit told him about towards the beginning of the film. The reason this screams Ni to me is because, Ni is a function that searches for deeper meaning in things. So for someone who has this function as their dominant (like Benoit), they would search for deeper meaning in most things. Trying to piece together multiple ideas or layers to form a single idea or bigger picture. However as the name “Glass Onion” implies, there was layers upon layers of context to the scenario they were in, yet the truth was in plain sight all along. There was no deeper grand meaning behind the murder and its execution. Everything was all simple opportunistic actions taken place in the moment (Se), something that contradicts Benoit Ni outlook. Even when another character tries to reframe the murder as “so stupid it’s smart”, he shuts it down entirely. He simply couldn’t fathom how someone could do something so horrible and not at least have the intelligence to put any real plan behind it. (Or perhaps I’m reading too deep into this lol)
