Doug Gardner MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Doug Gardner? Doug Gardner is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/so - 946 in Enneagram, RCOAN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
I'm not sure why a lot of folks are typing him as a Fi dom. He is SO emotionally clueless. He prefers not to talk about his feelings at all. Sure, he knows what his values are, but I saw him more as having inferior Fe. He left his family for the greater part of a year when having a son with autism proved to be more than he was ready to handle. He's nothing like Evan, an actual ISFP, who's very much in touch with his feelings and is secure about expressing them. Doug is an ISTP who, by virtue of having a family, *has to* interact with them, but he has a hard time understanding people, and himself. I agree that he's an ISxP, but Ti-Se-Ni-Fe makes much more sense as his stack. Also, his relationship with his ESTP daughter makes it more likely that he's an ISTP. They both get each other - they even say so at one point - and they both are the types who repress their emotions. I think the entire family is made up of sensors; most of them are sensing thinkers; and Elsa is the one exception as a sensing feeler.
