What personality type is Edward? Edward is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 614 in Enneagram, RLUAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
It’s hard typing ppl who are raised to be king/queens because they have to trained from birth to think strategically, be diplomatic etc. I don’t think he has Ni. At the s5 finale battle, even his son (Ni dom) realized sooner that the Scots were trying to push them off the cliff. His battles are total chaos with shit results… there’s like no strategizing/no improvisations/no “leadership” from him in the moment that you would expect from an ENTJ. He just sits there and watch men die OR he’ll hype them up. He doesn’t *think* in battles With that being said, I think he is a hardened INFP. He does not have Te dom nor aux. Since season 4, he has taken every defiance from aethelflaed and others very personally. He is stubborn, inflexible in his thinking, tyrannical even… focused so much on people not rejecting his decisions rather than finding the best solution. He’s sensitive and doesn’t understand that others have their own objectives/their own situations. Yet when he is aware how bad Wessex looks for showing up to the battlefield last, abandoning Mercia in s4, he feels embarrassed. He’s not confident in his choices, in himself, which is why he takes it so personally when people disagree. Te doms tend to be confident to overconfident, not take things personally, can admit when another idea is good. Everything he does is filtered through Fi, not Te And then when aethelflaed doesn’t choose him as successor and doesn’t speak with him before dying, he can’t believe it? He had almost abandoned Mercia at every opportunity lol. Why would he think aethelflaed would cede to him? He’s very self-absorbed and too consumed about his own legacy/desires/measuring up to expectations that he cannot read others and reality clearly. He’s very much “in his own world”. Also, he seems kinda jealous of the respect and admiration aethelflaed has from her people. After aethelflaed became lady of Mercia, Edward has a tantrum. Very telling. He also wasn’t thinking straight. Was he really going to attack Mercia for putting aethelflaed in charge?! That’s a stupid use of force for “defiance”, with nothing to gain. Attacking an ally over something like that is all ego and nothing else. They also have a “talk” where he tells aethelflaed to “enjoy the support” of the Mercian people *while it lasts*, as if she too will fail and be disliked. I’d bet on fi dom over Te dom. Dom Te would be more decisive and struggle to slow down. Alfred pushed him to be assertive. That’s not the kind of lesson ENTJs typically need lol. He is ruthless, yes, it comes from his fear and wanting security and wanting to *appear* strong rather than being actually strong by making bold smart decisions (besides stealing mercia’s throne.. that was the only thing I was impressed with in s5). He does not from wanting domination in a greater external sense nor power nor is he opportunistic. ENTJs would be more comfortable making big moves, generally. He is stronger in political maneuvering m than realistic battle strategy/tactics. He mainly wants everyone around him to agree with him even if they think he’s wrong, to not defy/question him. He wants his people to love him. Aux Te generally would be more relaxed, whereas he always looks like a ball of tension underneath this stiff exterior… as if consciously concealing who he really is. If he wasn’t INFP, then I’d guess ISTJ
