Richard II of England MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Richard II of England? Richard II of England is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - - 469 in Enneagram, in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
What do we got for Richard? Someone who can’t help but steer the ship of state into the direction of his vendettas. Gets wrapped up in power games, where insults are taken personally, insecure and sensitive, can be brave and assertive, patient and politically astute, but… everyrhing he does becomes about proving, every minute, that he’s right, and that he’s a powerful king. And he lets his reign collapse because he… it’s like he takes the fealty question personally. Where, he NEEDS TO KNOW YOU RESPECT HIK AND KNOW HE’S YOUR BOSS, and that matters more than running the state well He’s treacherous, a liar, dangerous and vengeful and cruel, tends to slip into paranoia. But this isn’t because of madness, but because he gets severely traumatized, and just can’t help but be more of that anyways. He can’t get out of himself, and it’s like, the present moment and needs don’t matter, because he’s punishing his abusers, and those who have offended him So, absolutely a Fi dom. I tend to lean more towards INFP, Fi, Ne, Si, Te. Because again, he isn’t actually present oriented. He sacrifices momentary victory, and the needs of now, for his feelings. That’s not an ISFP, Fi, Se, Ni, Te Enneagram, I’d say, is a 6w5, counterphobic. He needs to be confirmed in how loyal people are to him, he plays tricks and traps in a way that’s… kind of… paranoid, and, nasty. He’s insecure, and gets lost in his head So, INFP, E6w5
Biography
(6 Jan 1367 – c. 14 Feb 1400) Ten years old at his succession, he showed what he could do at the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, where he defused the immediate threat to London and ordered the rebels to surrender, which they did. He started the tradition of addressing the King as "Highness". Like his great-grandfather, he didn't care for the war with France, being much more interested in art and architecture. He was also fond of good food, and had his cooks write a great cookbook, the Forme of Cury, one of the greatest surviving resources on the (upper-class) medieval kitchen. A group of nobles (the "Merciless Parliament") had some of his favorites executed for abusing his youth, and he repaid them in kind ten years later, including having his uncle, Thomas of Woodstock, smothered. The final straw came with the banishment for life of his cousin and the seizing of his valuable Lancastrian land. The other nobles rallied against him, and under the pressure, Richard folded.
