Dr. Shaun Murphy MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Dr. Shaun Murphy? Dr. Shaun Murphy is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/sx - 513 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

He's ISTJ. He trusts whatever he personally has read and dismisses others experiences if they don't chalk up to the facts he has clearly memorized. He sticks by what he considers to be evidential, empiric. He's realistic, not imaginative, his thinking is procedural and sticks by what is evident and states it with little emotion, he makes short observations and is not one to sit back and observe or reconsider whether real life chalks up to textbook explanation. He rather fixes real life to fit textbook explanations than the other way around. He is pretty close minded and inflexible. His thought process is step-wise. Is interpersonally dismissive over the evidence. The way he thinks, prejudiced and evidence-based, closed-minded and vision less but sticking to the guidelines not as a guide but as a rule, no intuition and fear of changes, that's how medicine mind is. But his autism is not how medicine is and would be a huge crutch in actuality. A doctor without the faked Fe to perform well. He would have been sued by a patient and thrown out of residency for being so rash and using what his eyes see so precipitously, no tact and the lack of tact might be blamed on autism but I digress, this is ISTJ mentality and it's what helps him be a good doctor, the autism is what's a crutch, the lack of fake Fe when sticking to Si and Te. The Si and Te isn't his autism strengthened at all, it's his autism that's sorely hampering him socially to lack of Fe, it's his lack of meeting other people's social expectations, it's his social and interpersonal defect that crutches him and in real life he would have been sued already for it, but not for being medically wrong, he's medically right but not in the objective truth's sense but in the guideline compliance sense. He would work better as a pathologist, a radiologist or a designer of medically relevant clinical cases. Takes pride in lacking creativity so he would stick to what's relevant and dismiss any of the weird or extreme cases that aren't explained by current medical knowledge. Would not make a great researcher, in my opinion. If it's not in the book and he hasn't read it, it is simply not existent and it is totally stupid to bring it up to him and he will tell you so.
