John Nash MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is John Nash? John Nash is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - so/sx - 531 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.
After watching the movie several times, I honestly think he is an Ni-Se user, an INTJ. Here's why: 1. His Ni-Se axis: He is trying to grasp reality (Se), but he fails to do so. He is locked in an absolute Ni, a function which is flawlessly portrayed in the film. There are several scenes which work as perfect examples of Ni, but the best one is the one in the bar with the girls. That scene can sum up how Ni works. 2. Comparison of Ni-Te (INTJ) with Ti-Ne (INTP): I feel that some people (mainly the INTP votes) are disregarding Ni and confusing it with Ti, because Ni is not an easy function to comprehend (I might be wrong, though). As someone who uses both functions (Ni and Ti), I can see why some people might confuse them, but in this case, I think it's safe to say that John Nash is a Ni. He is constantly breaking down all the information in one single and obsessive idea, the 'one solution' to the patterns he absorbes (which is how Ni-Te works). A Ti-Ne user would work differently (more like Alan Turing in the Imitation Game, who is a very obvious INTP). A Ti-Ne would obsess over specific pieces of information, ordered in a personal framework. Then, from that personal data, he would imagine new possibilities (which the INTP Alan Turing does). John Nash, in contrast, works the other way around: he perceives (Ni) all the chaos surrounding him, and brings it all down to one single solution, which later extraverts in a blunt / right-wrong answer (Te). 3. The real John Nash: Also, the real John Nash is an INTJ. Why would his portray in the movie, based in a book about his life, would be different? Thanks for reading!
