Tom the Cat MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Tom the Cat? Tom the Cat is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sp/sx - 793 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
Tom being ESFP: Tom is greatly aware of and acts in the present moment, dives into situations head first, quickly seizes upon opportunities in rather impulsive ways - dom Se/inf Ni duality. [rules out INTJ] Has a tunnel vision about fixed intuition and he narrows down into a singular possibility/path (Ne is rather expansive and broadens possibilities) of catching Jerry - inferior Ni. His whole issue is that he can rather act first, with the consequences in mind only after he puts himself into trouble. Structuring his environment and being quite results-oriented and decisive in his thinking in the actions he takes to capture Jerry and how he enforces his plan - tertiary Te. This description of inferior Ni (from Practical Typing) pretty much summarizes well Tom's main weakness and source of continual defeat in capturing Jerry, which is the fact that he does have an ultimate goal and future plan in mind but acts upon the present moment in a reactive, impulsive way. Auxiliary Si won't work [rules out ESTJ] as high Si users essentially store, recollect, and review upon their past experiences and this makes them rather cautious, especially with 6 core, and desiring of stability and predictability, which definitely isn't Tom. Not being high Si users, "As a result, an ESFP won’t seem worried about repeating past negative events, and won’t overly dwell on what has happened in the past." "Underdeveloped inferior Ni will lead them to avoid thinking about the future, wanting to stay entirely in the present and live in the moment. Developing their Ni will allow ESFPs to get past possible shortsightedness and focus on the long term consequences of their actions, so that they’ll be able to temper their impulse to act when necessary and patiently work toward an ideal future or goal."
