Will Parry MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Will Parry? Will Parry is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
Y'all, where is Will's Fi? Or his Se? The fact that he wields the Subtle Knife and defeats Tullio doesn't mean he has high Se. From The Subtle Knife: "It might have bothered him at twelve years of age to be seen holding his mother’s hand, but he knew what would happen to her if he didn’t." Will knows instinctively from past experience how people will treat his mother (Si) and is afraid of the outcome should she wander off (inf Ne.) He also cares more about her wellbeing (Fe) than what others will assume about him. "How long before the men came back? There was no way of telling, so he’d better move quickly." Will is constantly planning for the worst (inf Ne + 6); he never acts without extreme caution beforehand, and is only propelled to act out of Fe protectiveness. From The Amber Spyglass: • He's incredibly good at reading Mrs. Coulter's intentions; not only does he read between the lines of her expressions/words (Fe) but he sees that her reasons for "protecting" Lyra aren't logically sound (Ti).
Biography
The trilogy's other main character. Will, a twelve-year-old boy from our world, has spent much of his time taking care of his mentally ill mother and avoiding the authorities who would separate them. As such, he's developed into a fiercely independent, protective, determined, and above all suspicious boy. His mother told him that one day he will "take up the mantle" of his father, John, and to that end Will embarks on a dangerous quest to find out the truth of his father's disappearance, and allies with a strange girl from another world.His dæmon lives inside of him, invisible, for the majority of the series, which alarmed Lyra the first time they met.
