Mushu MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Mushu? Mushu is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - so/sp - 731 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
Mushu is a 6w7 sp rather than a 7w8. He isn't a free spirited 7 looking for fun and adventure--he just wants to be reinstated as a guardian of the family (WAY more of 6 motivation) by proving he can watch over Mulan and keep her safe. I'll tell you this--you're not going to see a lot of enneagram 7's depicted as the jittery, protective character who is trying to talk the hero out of doing things, moaning "We're doomed!". Watch Mushu's major 6 energy in this bathing scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXSX84eVUCs Grumbling to yourself that no one is taking your fears seriously, while still acting as lookout to protect the idiots who are ignoring you, is a fat 6 mood. He is so 6 in how he is constantly anticipating threats and predicting what they need to worry about next, to keep Mulan safe. He wakes her up each morning and runs her through all the things she needs to focus on and think about to face the day ahead. He's always trying to protect his people by staying ahead of things (classic 6 strategy). Think of how on top of danger he is when Shan Yu's falcon tries to raise alarm, and Mushu immediately breathes fire and turns him into Mongolian barbecue--6's are amazing at detecting threats, because they're constantly scanning their environments. I know 7's are usually comic relief, but self pres 6's are sneakily the funniest enneagram subtype, IMO. They make for great comical sidekicks!
