Rick Astley MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Rick Astley? Rick Astley is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - so/sx - 296 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
We can clearly see implications of his ENFJ cognitive functions in his song lyrics. "Never gonna give you up...": Clear Fe dom. He asserts first and foremost his willingness to always stick by someone purely for their own sake, a sign he bases his decision making on the feelings of others. "Never gonna let you down..." Ni auxillary. He's analysed his past in broad strokes, understanding the underlying meanings and lessons behind his interpretations of his experiences, applying that to the present situation by stating that he personally knows he will not let this person down. Well developed Ni usage. "Never gonna run around..." Undeveloped Se tert. He doesn't like the idea of running around, an activity very centric on physicality and the environment around a person, showing that he has not yet attained high levels of Se usage. "Desert you!" Ti inferior. He refuses adamantly to distance himself from the subject of his sentence and evaluate them on a purely logical level, an aspect usually related to inferior Ti usage and consequentially dominant Fe usage, further supporting the prior argument for Fe. Whatever way you look at it, ENFJ is far too clear of a typing for Rick Astley. (and yes this comment is a joke, don't take my explanations of cognitive function usage here too seriously)
