Magnus the Red MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Magnus the Red? Magnus the Red is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, in Socionics.
One of the more extreme examples in fiction of what can happen when someone with this type is told 'No' with little elaboration beyond 'Because I said so' TTS is very good at showing how bad big E was with handling Magnus especially, shunning him when he needed to take him aside and try to explain things to him. It's possible that Magnus might still have taken things too far, still strayed from his fathers goals with what he believed was more logical, but the tragedy of Magnus is that out of every primarch, his fall was the most avoidable. He was essentially loyal to humanity - if not necessarily the Imperium - until it was too late for him to fix his mistakes and his situation became too desperate. It's a shame considering what an asset he could have been as a loyalist. Although it's probable that his legion was a doomed one from the start given their particularly nasty mutation. He probably would have flourished under Sanguinius's Imperium where he might have been able to pursue knowledge with a more respectable, friendlier but still stern leader watching over him. As for his enneagram, 5w4 fits better for him given that he doesn't much prioritise the knowledge he seeks, he just seeks. He was also prone to being withdrawn and stuck in his own malaise - it took Prospero burning before he took any action towards Leman.
