What personality type is David Tennant? David Tennant is an personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - so/sp - 479 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.

David seems like a social 4. He admits that he suffers from imposter syndrome - and is too anxious to use social media because the worry of not being funny enough would “paralyse” him. So4 is a character which is mainly characterized by shame. This subtype feels distress for not living up to social ideals, they compare themselves to others around them and find themselves lacking. This constant feeling of shame weirdly manifests as in an attachment to suffering, often these people are shy and end up lamenting and blaming themselves. They don't feel like they're enough and they feel like they've done something wrong, often taking the role of the victim and focusing on their own inferiority. However, it is important to note that people of this type often prefer to "swallow their poison" instead of lashing out on others. “That's the nature of being a teenager. It felt awkward and ugly and different. I felt uncool to the depths of my soul and I've never really recovered from that - I still think I'm uncool”. “When you are that person, you walk into a room and everyone turns their head and whispers, and you feel like you’re being squashed. You feel intimidated, and you feel scared, actually”. So4 has the constant doubt that his actions or words can lead to difficult or irremediable situations, and that they can lead him to disappoint the other and be abandoned by him. “I mean, you know, while I'm acting on stage I'm ranking quite high, but in a room with Barack Obama I'm probably into negative digits. I never feel very famous”. He tends to be critical of himself because it is the experience he has had. It has been heavily criticized, disqualified. To the extent that social 4 compares himself with others and in order not to be completely annihilated by the superiority of others, he tends to have a critical look and to express, not directly, disapproval, negative judgments about the other, his way of being, or to work. So the criticism of the other is born of an attempt to survive, not to be completely crushed by the comparison with the outside world. “But I'm never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be”. “How galling to watch someone who looks like you, who basically is you, do all the shagging you didn't get to do”. “I’ve always had insecurity, a lack of self-confidence, which is classic". “I was hugely formed by stories I was told as a child whether that was in a book, the cinema, theatre or television and probably television more than any medium is what influenced me as a child”. From an early age, so4 likes to console himself and entertain himself in fantastic and dreamlike worlds in which his imagination allows him to compensate for the great inhibition he feels in real life. This imaginary world that he has created and in which he somehow believes will be able to materialize in the future, serves him to metabolize everyday reality. Poetry, art, and music become channels of expression to the outside. "It’s why you like dressing up and pretending to be someone else”. “To have someone who's got a strong individual voice that is allowed to be heard is quite increasingly rare”. “It's very hard to be objective about something you're in, especially when you set it up against things that you experienced as a child”. “I've always been a geek and slightly awkward... slightly umm... I was never the cool kid at school”. Also social 4 is 3V blueprint, as 3Vs are most others-view oriented. If you disagree, I’m always open to hearing your opinions.
