Jay Gatsby MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Jay Gatsby? Jay Gatsby is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sx/so - 316 in Enneagram, SLOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
I think that typing Jay as an INTJ merely because of his longterm goals and strategic thinking is a huge mistake. Jay so, so easily exudes charm and grace (that is part of the reason he got his fortune), this is especially apparent when he speaks/interacts with Nick. He clearly demonstrates Ni/Fe throughout the entirety of the novel. If he were an INTJ he probably be more prone to doubt Daisy's affections a d far less understanding in why she married someone else instead of waiting for him (Fe). And INTJ would mostly likely not be able to emerge into the limelight with complete ease after being under the radar and be able to gain the help from others for his cause... a known trait of the INFJ. Part of his history (and what he hopes for with Daisy, before meeting Nick) is very vague and their relationship wasn't all that long or full of signs for some lifelong commitment to eachother; so for him to rally his life and motives all around one girl like a circus is very unlike the INTJ.
Biography
