Ferdinand Magellan MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Ferdinand Magellan? Ferdinand Magellan is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - so/sp - in Enneagram, in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.

even if he is enneatype 5, why self-pres? I think social would fit him way more, he was passionate and assertive with his people in the 1519 expedition, wanting to share and spread his new discoveries (after all, there's a reason why he was chosen by King Charles I to be the one who's gonna search for a westward route to the islands). self-preservation fives would definitely be more independent, reticent and in general wouldn't be interested in things like these, especially heavily contributing to society (which a lot of social 5s like to do with their knowledge). a good example of a self-preservation 5 would be L from Death Note - he is interested in the things he is because of selfish purposes, even though Kira was actively a threat to society, L only wanted to find out his identity because it was his personal desire to do so and complete his task; not once did Lawliet be like: ''hm, yes, I am not going to give up because I want the world to know the truth and let them know all this new info''. It was purely his own wish to find out who Kira truly was, that's why he was so reclusive and ''hard to cooperate with'' in the first place.

Biography

Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480 – 27 April 1521) was a Portuguese explorer who organised the Spanish expedition to the East Indies from 1519 to 1522, resulting in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano. Born into a Portuguese noble family in around 1480, Magellan became a skilled sailor and naval officer and was eventually selected by King Charles I of Spain to search for a westward route to the Maluku Islands (the "Spice Islands").
