Jordan Peterson MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Jordan Peterson? Jordan Peterson is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - 154 in Enneagram, SLOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Most of the ENTP arguments state that he jumps from point to point. But one must realize that he makes sure to centralize the points to make sure that he conveyed the overall aphorism. I believe this is an example of Ni synthesis. While Ni is characterized by focusing on a particular point, it doesn't get rid of the fact that an Ni type can stir up an abundancy of ideas in their mind. But what differentiates this from Ne is that Ni is looking for the quintessence behind these ideas. To borrow from Berx's comment, we have direct access to Peterson's psychology in this following quote from Peterson: "I wrote Maps of Meaning because I was absolutely obsessed with what happened in Nazi Germany and in the Soviet Union... I spent virtually every waking second for 15 years thinking about nothing else than that, and read very, very, very widely. I read all of Carl Jung. I read Orwell and Huxley and Solzhenitsyn, and a slew of books on neurobiology, and all the great clinical psychologists, and a huge chunk of political [economics]; and I read a very, very vast amount of psychological and political literature. I synthesized this over the course of 15,000 hours; that's how long it took me to write that book. The reason I did it was because I was trying to understand the relationship between belief and emotion and motivation...I was interested in why a human being would [humiliate and torture] another human being. But I was interested in that in a very particular way, because you see, the people in Auschwitz who were the guards - they were ordinary people. And that meant that ordinary people can do that. And that meant I could do it. And so I wanted to figure out just exactly what that meant." This not only illustrates Ni's stirring up of ideas and lingering contemplation, but also it's combination with Fe, resulting in the archetypal INFJ goal to deeply understand human nature, and human motivations.
