Maximus Decimus Meridius MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Maximus Decimus Meridius? Maximus Decimus Meridius is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sx - 162 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.
In summary: No intuition, as well as no interest in power, politics, ideologies and people. He is either ISTP or ISTJ, enneagram 6w5 or 9w8. Calling him an ENTJ is ridiculous. He was a great general who was given the power to rule Rome - and the world, in a way - and he refused, because he wanted to go back home to take care of his family and farm and live an easy life - that was the least ENTJ action ever. He didn't even get to that position of power because it was part of his plans - he had no plans other than serving his country, after all. He had no interest in amassing power in his own hands, or politics, or any sort of ideology of conquests for Rome - he was just doing his job/duty, because he was told to do so. He had no vision for anything whatsoever. Zero intuition. Just pure sensor skills and tactics. He was the typical ISTX avenger type of character. His soldiers respected him because, in a way, he was one of them - a very simple guy. And, he really didn't seem to be an extrovert in any way. He just wanted to be cool and left alone. It is hard to decide between ISTP and ISTJ, though. But I believe he had inferior Fe - he didn't like being around people at all - and secondary Se, which was seen in his great improvisation skills and quick tactical understanding of the environment and situation when in action (Ti+Se). And, why the hell enneagram 1? Just because he was doing his duty? He was not strict and critical, he was easygoing. He was not formal, but laid back. He didn't live by his code, he just followed the rules until they tried to assassinate him. He was probably a 9w8 or a 6w5.
