What personality type is John Francis "Jack" Morrison "Soldier: 76"? John Francis "Jack" Morrison "Soldier: 76" is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - sp/so - 163 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LSE in Socionics.
Yes, Soldier: 76 is a stereotypical "Old Man ISTJ" character. But there's reasons for this. His morals are very clear-cut and integral to him, so much so that he's willing to abandon his goals rather than break them (Si-Fi). His animated short "Hero" proves this since he gave up on pursuing the Los Muertos gang in favor of saving Alejandra and ensuring she got home safely. An ESTJ would've been more willing to give up on their morals in favor of pursuing their objective. While this could explain Soldier as being a very healthy ESTJ, I think its more likely that he's an ISTJ. My other reason is drawn from his work as the Strike Commander of Overwatch. Soldier was the ideal leader because he operates by the textbook definition of Si-Te-Fi. He's cautious, organized, cooperative, by-the-book, and respects order. He works willingly with other leaders and draws from his military experience to help resolve matters of conflict. Soldier's current obsession with ensuring justice also sounds like the overindulgence in Te-Fi as he tries to restore his sense of order.
Biography
Formerly just a mere farmer's son from Indiana, Jack joined the military at the age of 18, eventually undergoing a "super soldier enhancement" program alongside his best friend Gabriel Reyes. When the first Omnic Crisis struck, Jack and Gabriel were among the first inductees into the newly formed Overwatch. Jack's kind nature, idealism, and charisma led him to become the main face of Overwatch and its first official commander. Eventually, the Overwatch he helped build started to show signs of corruption, and people began to lose their trust in the organization, regardless of how hard Jack tried to quell their doubts. It all fell apart when Jack and Gabriel came to blows at Overwatch's Swiss HQ; in the ensuing battle, Jack was believed to have perished along with Gabriel when their fighting triggered an explosion that destroyed the facility, and Morrison was officially buried with honors after his apparent death. However, unknown to the public, Jack survived the destruction. Disillusioned with how his idealism got him nowhere in preventing the world from plummeting into darkness and was in fact used to corrupt the organization he protected and cost him some of his dearest friends, he no longer believes in those old ideals, deciding instead to try to focus only on what matters most to him: uncovering the truth behind Overwatch's fall, no matter the cost, how many rules he has to break, and what brutal methods he has to use. After completing various raids to steal cutting-edge technology, including a prototype pulse rifle from a former Overwatch base, he began undertaking vigilante missions, referring to himself only as "Soldier: 76."
