Steve Irwin MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Steve Irwin? Steve Irwin is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - so/sx - 792 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
Great example of a super healthy ESFP. Dominant Se is obvious in his extreme alertness & awareness of his environment, quick reflexes, and general physical adeptness. (Note: this is not Se per se, but Se can lead to this & make it easier to become good at. That's not to say that non-Se users can't also become good at it, however). He does have Se in it's true cognitive sense: a natural desire to experience & interact with the world around him and to take it completely as it is (no internal filter applied like with Si; he readily jumps into dangerous situations regardless of how they may have negatively affected him previously--this is Se taking the world as it is right now & living in the moment without fear of what may happen or haunt of what previously happened). He uses his Se on something real & productive, and not a reckless danger-for-the-sake-of-danger gimmick the way unhealthy Se-doms might. His strong Fi helps him channel his Se for a purpose--wildlife conservation & education. He said he wanted to be remembered for passion and enthusiasm (Fi). He has solid tertiary Te to give orders and map out plans when doing something that requires teamwork and extreme caution, like catching or moving a croc. He suddenly becomes much more strict and no-nonsense during these situations instead of his usual relaxed self. In Se-doms, inferior Ni can sometimes manifest as fear about the future and a sense that some looming tragedy is about to happen. After his mother died in a car accident in 2000, he became uneasy and started to feel like it was only a matter of time before something happened to him too. And unfortunately, he was right.
