Hugh Laurie MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Hugh Laurie? Hugh Laurie is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/sx - 594 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, in Socionics.
His early comedy performances are pure exponentially expounding Ne, but he takes the straight man role to (ENTP) Stephen Fry. In a way, their partnership is defined by Stephen's unbounded conceptual exploration being vibe-checked by Hugh's more levelheaded (relative to an Ne-dom) Fi-Ne. He was a very accomplished rower for a while and his motive in the sport seems to have been a personal admiration of the idea of it: His father had been an olympic rower and at Eton and Cambridge, where he was educated, the sport was a very glorified tradition. Interestingly, when he eventually had to give it up, he described performing at that level as something like "a perpetual state of torpor that leaves you with no energy for fulfillment or enjoyment." Quite an Se-PoLR sentiment.
Biography
James Hugh Calum Laurie CBE (born 1959) is an English actor, comedian, writer and musician. This leads to a strange dichotomy in his perception. To British audiences he is the comedic master of The Pratfall, the over-done and over-silly counterbalance to the more reserved Stephen Fry or Rowan Atkinson... but, to Americans, he is best known as the stern and cynical Dr. House. In fact—perhaps due to his uncannily flawless American accent—some Americans are surprised to learn that he's British. Including the casting director that hired him for the role, who was in fact hoping to avoid casting a Brit doing an accent. To some, he is a mixture of both, a man of legend perceived to be able to switch from cold and merciless to the most lovable man on earth in a single sentence. But wherever in the Anglosphere or indeed the world we are, he's still Hugh Laurie.
