Personality

What personality type is Jacob Jeffery "Jake" Peralta? Jacob Jeffery "Jake" Peralta is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - sx/so - 729 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.

It's interesting how an ENFP can be naturally in sync with ISTJs in certain US comedies. His dynamics with Amy and Holt are adorable. It really shows what ISTJs and ENFPs have in common: practically achieving functional goals in defense of an inner ideal. This is especially with Jake & Holt, the ENFP subordinate & ISTJ boss, a cursed combination at first glance: their life philosophies might seem polar opposite at face value, but they share an individualistic, principled touch in their psyche, and appreciation for the multifaceted nature of life. Michael Pierce describes INFP, ENFP, ISTJ, and ESTJ as the "Free-Spirits". Those types have the sense of individuality, but instead of an intensity and singular perception, they have the philosophers' exploratory perception, giving them more of a sense of travel, making them even less fettered than the "Royalty" types. They want to be free and go their own way in one way or another. I sometimes suspect it's because US is a Se dominant culture, Ne and Si seem to be friendlier to each other. I live in a Si dominant culture and this healthy dynamic between Ne and Si user is really a rare sight in media representation.
