Personality

What personality type is Terrence Vincent "Terry" Jeffords? Terrence Vincent "Terry" Jeffords is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w1 - so/sp - 261 in Enneagram, SLOAN in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.

Amy: Can you please describe the perp to Sergeant Jeffords? Victim: He had dark curly hair and a neck a tattoo- Terry: Wait, wait, slow down, let's start with the eyes. Were they desperate? Lonely? Did they betray heartache? Victim: ... They were brown. Terry: Do you even WANT your purse back? 😭 Yeah ENFJ just seems about right. No trace of Si at all and he's even quite sloppy with detail work. The Se is pretty prominent too given how he enjoys sensory activities (e.g working out in order to maintain his physique even if it means pushing his boundaries in unhealthy ways) and may sometimes go through a Fe-Se loop. He seems oblivious to his own body's needs, in comparison to Charles who, despite having weird ways of stabilizing his health and all coming from traditional family remedies, does it very effectively to keep his health in check (the Si + Ne that y'all can try to find but isn't there in Terry) because, unlike Terry, Charles is the REAL ESFJ. His reason for becoming a cop by finding meaning in his encounter with the police officer when he was younger screamed Ni, considering he wants to represent the kind of cop that isn't prejudiced and is willing to create a safer environment for other black people and how he's constantly fighting for that cause until he became part of the NYPD. Cultivating a vision and going through a linear thought process and implementing concrete actions into achieving what he wants for the people around him (Fe-Ni-Se) He also offers his support to the group by consoling them, lending advice, and just listening to them when they have a problem. Unlike Charles who, in his very typical Si way of showing affection, does it practically, packing an energy bar in Jake's pocket in case he forgot to eat the morning prior, for example.
