Cyrus Goodman MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Cyrus Goodman? Cyrus Goodman is an ESFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - sp/so - 629 in Enneagram, SLOAN in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
He doesn't seem as prideful and self-aggrandizing as a type 2. Somone being caring and friendly doesn't automatically make them a 2, twos have a passion for pride and fixation on flaterry, that as Naranjo describes, "refers mostly to "self-flattery," which is inseparable from the self-aggrandizement of pride." 'Self-aggrandizement' in this sense doesn't mean self-promoting like in type 3s, but rather a thought process similar to "I don't need you, you need me," "It's you that has a problem that needs to be solved, not me." Cyrus isn't like that. He makes himself vulnerable, mainly as a way to invite sympathy and protection. Not only with his self-deprecating humor and tendency to decrease himself in relation other people, "if I were him... God it'd be so great if I was him", "You should see me when I'm really putting myself down. Actually you shouldn't, it's dark", but also with his overt fears characteristic of the phobic 6. "My whole life, I have lived under a cloud of fear: 'Don't climb to the top', 'Don't swim after you've eaten', 'You could get lost and die in a corn maze' [...]". He can also be seen disintegrating into 3 many times when he becomes obsessed with other people's opinions on him. Distinctively Jonah's opinions, like in the episode where he completely changes himself because of the text he received from Jonah mistakingly saying he was girly. "In the SP Six, fear manifests as insecurity, as a fear of not being protected. In light of this, SP Sixes seek the warm embrace of family and friends, seeking to escape anxiety through becoming close to and dependent on others. In a world they perceive as dangerous, SP Sixes seek to form alliances; for this, they endeavor to be friendly, trustworthy, and supportive, as allies are supposed to be." - According to Claudio Naranjo "Self-Preservation Sixes can thus look like Type Twos in that they are warm and friendly and put a lot of energy and attention into the development of relationships with others. Like Type Twos, these Sixes tend to lead with affection and accommodate others as a way of forging connections-but unlike Twos, their deepest motivation is to create safety, not to gain approval in support of pride." - According to Beatrice Chestnut Another thing people don't seem to acknowledge about type 2 is that they actually have "assertiveness as one of the core traits of their personality and as a direct connection to pride. "Assertiveness Along with an intense love need and its derivatives, we may say that dominance is also a characteristic of ennea-type II and constitutes a derivative of pride. Rather than the harsh, tyrannical demandingness of ennea-type VIII and the moralistic dominance of ennea-type I, who exacts his due as an authority, type II gets his or her wishes met through daring assertivenes -schutzpah. It is the assertiveness of one who at the same time is supported in a good self-concept and propelled by a strong, uninhibited drive-which contributes to the aura of vitality of this adventurous character. (As I have remarked already, proud character involves a rare combination of tenderness and pugnacity.) Another descriptor belonging to this category of assertiveness is willfulness, a trait of "having to have one's own way" even at the expense of an emotional "scene" or broken dishes." Now tell me how in the world was this man ever somehow mistaken for a 2?
