Apollo MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Apollo? Apollo is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sx/so - 478 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
NI just because he can predict future is just a ridicolous explaination. Apollo is a supernatural god, "predict the future" isn't NI 'cause NI isn't magic or something else. He has a strong FI in my opinion, combined with NE which makes him interpret the world as a a set of possibilities that expresses metaphorically, often through concrete symbols. He starts from something known (SI inf) that makes original and completely new through NE: take his love for Hyacinth, for example. Spinning through FI, his most personal feeling, he lets that dead person become a plant, and so does many of his lost lovers. In Daphne the same thing can be seen for good or bad: the pain of her loss and her transformation into laurel leads him to consecrate that plant to himself. In all of his actions I never see NI, but only NE, FI and SI, combined with tertiary extroverted thinking (take as an example when he defends Orestes in court in front of Athena: he only presents facts to absolve him). I would also like to add that any type can be abstract, and their abstractionism can depend on any perceptual function. Apollo's, as explained above, has nothing of NI, and the NE-SI combination is evident inherent in his myths.
Biography
The god of light, music, and healing, Apollo (pronounced ah-pahl-low) appears as a comely, beardless young man carrying a golden lyre and a silver bow. He helps ripen crops, destroys pests, cures illnesses, and protects shepherds and their flocks. There are many oracular shrines dedicated to Apollo, the chief one being at Delphi (taken over from Gaea). The son of Zeus and the Titan Leto, Apollo is, after Hera and his father, the greatest power of the pantheon. Though both Poseidon and Hades are stronger, Apollo commands more respect than either of them, and thus is next in line should Zeus ever perish or pass on. It was Apollo who first taught people the healing art. While generally benevolent and helpful, he can be truly terrible when angry, often loosing arrows that visit disease and death on targets they strike. The master of the lyre and song, Apollo is especially vain about his musical prowess and keeps the Muses as part of his retinue. As god of prophecy, Apollo founded an oracle. They all sit on stools of smoke-filled caverns, listening to the words of the future breathed by the fumes. Like most oracles, they speak in words that're usually understood by mortals only after a prophecy fulfills itself.
