Obadiah Stane “Iron Monger” MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Obadiah Stane “Iron Monger”? Obadiah Stane “Iron Monger” is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sp/so - 835 in Enneagram, SCOEN in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
The difference between ESTJs and ENTJs lies in the middle axis. I think Stane shows an Ni/Se axis rather than an Si/Ne axis. Si/Ne in ESTJs tends to show up as a concern with contingencies. ESTJs show the same defensive, 'waterproofing' tendencies as the ISTJ, accumulating and sifting through information in order to get to a solid understanding of their environment and guard against undesirable future possibilities. The Ni/Se axis in ENTJs tends to emphasize a more singular perspective, stripping perception down to the essentials at the cost of a more generalized comprehension of their world. Where the ESTJ is assertive about being cautious, the ENTJ is assertive about being assertive, putting their best foot forward in order to gain a foothold on their environment. We see this quality in Stane. He always steers conversation in the direction of where he wants it to go. It is true that he doesn't show much in the way of long-term vision, but at the same time, he manipulates people or takes direct and effective action based on the immediate demands of the situation. In this sense, he is more Te-Se than Te-Si. Compare Stane with General Ross from The Incredible Hulk. Ross is a textbook cinematic ESTJ.
Biography
Obadiah Stane was the business partner of Tony Stark and a good friend of his father, Howard Stark. After Howard's death, Stane became interim CEO of Stark Industries until Tony took over officially shortly after. Stane's jealousy of the younger Stark led him to join forces with the Ten Rings to organize a failed attempt to assassinate him so Stane could become CEO once again. Publicly, Obadiah Stane appeared as a loyal and devoted friend to the Starks; his business partner Howard Stark, whom he helped build Stark Industries from the ground up with and his son, Tony whom Stane was seemingly affectionate towards. In reality, he was a cold-hearted sociopath who had no regards for the wishes or feelings of others. Nor did he care about the destruction that the weapons Stark Industries created. He deeply enjoyed the authority and respect that came with being CEO. #MagnificentBastard
