Jackie Welles MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Jackie Welles? Jackie Welles is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - so/sx - 782 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
Enneagram Type 8, not 7. From the in-game database: "...Jackie's stubborn - when he wants something, he won't stop (or shut up about it) until he gets his hands on it. Jackie always wanted a lot out of life - maybe too much." "As a teenager, he joined the Valentinos gang, but realizing how much he was capable of - he quit...Jackie's life goal has always been to become a legend at the Afterlife and make a heap of eddies along the way." He is also clearly presented as displaying a naive tendency to take care of and protect others, readily taking on any responsibilities placed on him. Even in a game centered around player choice, during important moments it doesn't matter which dialogue option you choose, Jackie will always take charge and offer insight into the true dynamics at play—who actually holds the power, who's serving who, who's in control, what truly matters, and what you should think about that. What makes people think he's a 7? Is it because he's not mean and edgy enough to fit the tyrannical 8 stereotype? I realize this site likes to focus on surface-level descriptions rather than pure theory, so read Russell Rowe's take on the healthy/very healthy 8 and contrast it with any description of the 7. Any focus on fun or anticipatory thought and behavior is completely dwarfed by his natural tendency to take charge and relate to power dynamics. He's similar to Gon Freecss — on the surface a happy-go-lucky innocent soul; in reality driven completely by strength, will, persistence and endurance. I would make a stronger case for this but much of it is already mentioned on Gon's page.

Biography
Jackie Welles was a merc from Heywood who teamed up with V to become legends of Night City. He is one of V's early points of contact as well as the player's partner during several missions. He valued friendship, loyalty, and family above all else. Eventually he would plan to provide for his own family and live in luxury, but he got impatient because this was still just an elusive dream. Jackie Welles was born in 2047. When he was a child, his father would get drunk and beat him and his mother mercilessly with his belt, but when Jackie became strong enough, he returned the favor and hospitalized him, and threated to kill the old man if he returned home. His father left and was never seen again. Jackie kept his father's belt and planned to use it on him if he ever returned.
