Rodrick Heffley MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Rodrick Heffley? Rodrick Heffley is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/sx - 974 in Enneagram, RCUEN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
(edit: formatting) (1/2) Rodrick appears as an easy-going but lazy person who puts little effort into the things in daily life. He has set the standards of others towards him so low that it personally benefits him. A recurring theme in his characterization is him coming up with ideas for practical problem-solving in order to reach goals that have to do with physical stimuli (strong Ti + Se), like how he constantly makes up “facts” for Greg to believe only to get something in return (ex. food, money). This makes him appear like a freeloader at times (being egotistical is often linked with weak Fe). His Se makes him attuned to his surroundings; one reason his pranks are successful is because he is really good at seizing the moment and finds perfect opportunities to trick, embarrass or scam Greg. He also has quick reflexes (see: The Ugly Truth, The Long Haul).
Biography
Rodrick Heffley is Greg’s and Manny's older brother. He appeared in all of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series books. He often serves as an antagonist but also serves as the deuteragonist in Rodrick Rules. Like Greg, it is explained that he is only good at a few things, namely rock music, and spends most of his time on it, which deters him away from schoolwork. He would much rather sleep over doing anything else. Fitting with his love for heavy metal music, Rodrick is the lead drummer of a band called Löded Diper, a metal band. Rodrick is extremely lazy and inactive when it comes to school, which explains where Greg gets his laziness from. Greg believes that Rodrick is lazy and unintelligent in all other areas, though there are clues that show otherwise. Rodrick clearly isn't the smartest of his family, since he hardly makes an effort at school and constantly asks his parents to do his work for him. Although Rodrick is portrayed in this manner, he is actually quite intelligent.
