Kevin Khatchadourian MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Kevin Khatchadourian? Kevin Khatchadourian is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sx/sp - 837 in Enneagram, RLOEN in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.
Ti - His view of his environment that he seems to have from an early age is clearly an example of him structuring the world around him in systems. His explanation to the news reporter on why he committed the shooting gives his insight on how he views the world, as a place that thrives on the wrongdoings of others. His ti is also shown when he's "acting". Kevin is able to read people very well and use it to his advantage, like his façade he has when he's with his father, or the testimony he gave regarding Vicky Pagorski. He analyzes the nature of the people around him in order to turn it around them. Kevin's ti does have a sense of what's morally right or wrong, but just actively chooses to be in the wrong. This is why he agrees with his dad's republican views to his face and actively chooses to be hateful to people in minority groups, because he knows it's wrong. An example of him using ti to his advantage is when he asks for Prozac. As much as I hate to say it, he is incredibly, incredibly smart. He knew that a symptom of Prozac was manic tendencies, and used that to his advantage in order to lower his sentence (I'm still in shock at how he only got 7 years.) He also used the fact that he was still 15 when he committed the shooting (even though he would turn 16 in a matter of 3 days,) to make them more lenient. His knowledge of the system and the loopholes he finds are a clear argument for ti. His mother even said that he would do well in a field that requires strong problem-solving if he weren't so psychotic. Se - Kevin interacts with his physical environment in unique ways. His small clothes, which Eva says he has to make you "keep guessing" shows his use of ti-se, using tangible objects for an effect on a world he has analyzed and structured. Another ti-se example is when younger Kevin defecates immediately after having his diaper changed to anger Eva. No explanation needed. Lol. Finally, his fondness of archery is a pretty good se argument given that it's one of the only activities he likes, and that he uses a bow and arrows as his weapon choice, connecting his se to his view of the world/ti. Ni - Although it's not in a lot of use since it's Kevin's tertiary function, his analyses of the people around him and his planning of his shooting and it's aftermath are all examples of his ni. When at the restaurant with his mom, he was able to foresee a lot of what she was going to say, and throughout the novel he knows her like a book. He knows when she means something she says, when she's suspicious, and more. He's also able to analyze his dad very well, when he's being superficial, all of that. Although he tries not to show his intellect, he knows the people around him greatly and can predict events very well. He could predict the court system's leniency on him, and he could predict what would happen to Celia's eye had he kept it, and would it would be like in an adult penitentiary, which brings me to my next point. Fe - His fe is clearly suppressed throughout the novel, making him apathetic and indifferent to any consensus on morality. He starts to use it in stress, shown when he's about to be transferred to an adult prison. Once he finally starts getting stressed, he starts to question his rampage, and builds a little coffin with Celia's eye so that Eva can bury it. When Eva goes in to hug him, for once he doesn't reject it. Although this can be viewed as manipulation (which could still be a fe argument imo,) I think he genuinely was scared, which made him rethink the systems that he has created to define the world around him.
