Bob Ross MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Bob Ross? Bob Ross is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sp/so - 974 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.
If Bob Ross being an ISFJ wasn't obvious enough based on his demeanor, you can also see it in his art style. The individual elements he paints--mountains, trees, rocks, clouds--are neat, detailed and remarkably consistent from one painting to the next. There's a real sense of organization to his work; nothing is chaotic. Rather than representing nature directly as he sees it (Se), he paints his own mentally "tidied up" version (Si). Funnily, as someone with (admittedly inferior but still present) Se, I would see his paintings and think, "there's nowhere in nature that actually looks like a Bob Ross landscape." But I think that for many people, the nostalgic quaintness that arises from his Si-heavy artistic process is precisely the appeal.
