Charles I of England MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Charles I of England? Charles I of England is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sp/sx - 469 in Enneagram, RLUEN in Big 5, in Socionics.
It’s kinda strange that ISFPs are usually depicted as shy, introverted, very insecure but actually they can be quite assertive and stubborn. Charles I was most likely one of these types. He insisted that he was given the absolute, divine rule by God, to rule as king. He might have seemed like a timid and insecure person-an overlooked second son who was only given attention and education as heir after his brother died early-, who was bossed around by his confidant Buckingham and afterwards, his wife Henrietta of France, he kept a very firm personal belief in himself and his rights to rule as king. Reminds me of his paternal grandma, Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots. They both kept their personal beliefs and insisted on them; even on their way walking to the scaffold.
Biography
Had what might charitably be described as a difficult reign. Had what might uncharitably be described as a shit reign. Physically unimpressive and cursed with a speech impediment, Charles had it tough to begin with. Having to deal with several kingdoms while plagued with money troubles and religious strife which began decades prior to his reign would not have been easy for anyone, but unfortunately Charles' character made things a lot worse. He believed in the Divine Right of Kings to rule and quickly grew angry at attempts from Parliament to exact more power in exchange for finances. To cut a very long story short, Charles made a difficult situation worse with his Fatal Flaw of refusing to accept the inevitable in the face of defeat, or compromise to head off trouble down the road. Like his father, he was an instinctive autocrat who had no intention of surrendering any of his power. Unlike his father, he had no understanding of how power actually worked.
