Tarzan MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Tarzan? Tarzan is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - so/sx - 946 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
He’s ISTP imo The fact that he has difficulty with not belonging is symbolic to low Fe. Fe values and want’s to be with the community but it being the fourth function can cause stress. Tarzan accepts the Tribe‘s judgement, (group worth over self worth) uses his abilities to show he’s capable. He‘s sensitive, but having feelings =/= having a judging feeling function. !!! He‘s extremely interested & curious about the workings and mechanics, everything Jane shows him. He’s doesn’t think about morals. Fi would be more like: this gun kills quickly, how do I feel about that? what motivation do these people have to be here? (And also maybe wondering why Clayton is so aggressive eh) Ti: how does this gun work, What does this change? how do they live? Everyone would do both, but Ti is more his drive. I think he’s a nice example, usually Ti dom characters who are insecure about Fe are shown as only bitter and negative, rejecting Fe and people. He‘s not rejecting its importance. (Also a 9 so values harmony more) Disney works with stereo/archetypes. The nerdy air headed INTP professor, the bubbly nerdy love interest ENxP, the evil scheming commander ENTJ, the father protector of the tribe ISTJ, the caring quiet mother ISFJ. The monkey-human experiencing human development ISTP. Stories often go for archetypes, because the story arc is fit perfectly for the character and vise versa.
