Stanley MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Stanley? Stanley is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - so/sp - 693 in Enneagram, RCOAN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
Honestly ISTJ is a stereotypical answer, and the one I am personally leaning towards, but I can see INFP too.. we can’t really discern much of Stanley’s actual personality because the narrator’s description of him can be unreliable and inconsistent depending on the ending. SiTe argument is quite blatant, he supposedly thrives on routine and lives for his boring job, but as for FiNe look at the apartment ending (where the narrator reveals that the entire story he had written was all in Stanley’s mind and that Stanley would use escapism). Idk I’ll need to think on it more Every other vote is based on vibes pretty much. As for enneagram, 6w5 is the only right answer. “He never functioned well by himself, and constantly needed support and guidance from others, so the thought of total solitude was terrifying to him.” “What a relief, Stanley felt, to have finally found an answer; an explanation.” “I want my apartment, and my wife, and my job, all I want is my life exactly the way it’s always been. My life is normal. I am normal.” He is such a 6 it’s comical x) according to the narrator he constantly likes being told what to do, and even if the job is boring, it is repetitive and safe. #1 priority is always security. As a 6 it resonates with me too. This is also probably an argument towards Si dom. Also I don’t really see 3 fix, as I mentioned earlier certain endings like the apartment ending reveal a more creative and self-reflective side of Stanley. 4 fix fits a bit better imo ((Also I am so similar to Stanley like we share MBTI, ennea, tritype (debatable), big 5, alignment and socionics like what 😭😭😭 WE SHARE A NAME TOO))
