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.

He is not in love with Daisy. He is in love with the IDEA of Daisy. Due to distance and time apart, he turned her into a concept and then fell in love with that concept. She is an ideal for him, no longer human. He doesn’t even need to communicate with her to love her. Classic (Ni-Ti) manifestation, sparked by the lack of real-time interaction with a human being (Fe-Se). P.S. I don’t even need to explain how his social chameleon charm is that of a high Fe user rather than a Te user. Both can be charming but in very different ways. Gatsby reads people’s emotions and accommodates their needs and desires.

Biography
