Peter Jackson MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Peter Jackson? Peter Jackson is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sp/so - 946 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.

He's way too outgoing to not be extroverted, socially or cognitively. His Ne is everywhere. In addition to doing & saying random funny things on set, he's constantly throwing out new and crazy ideas and saying things like "What if we did X or tried Y?" that often result in the wackier elements of his films. These ideas are supported by Fi in the forms of things that are personally important to him (i.e. he wanted Radagast to have a rabbit sleigh b/c he has a rabbit, named his studio Wingnut Films after his rabbit, does cameos of himself, his family/pets, his crew & crew's family, uses actors from his previous films, puts random New Zealand things in films like Dain's kunekune pig). One of his crewmen described him as a "12-year-old with a beard"; ENFPs often come across as childlike (true, INFPs can too, but he's way more like an externally-focused hyperactive kid than a cute, innocent "cinnamon roll" kid). Child Te: This is the function that serves as a hobby or relaxation from the lead functions. As we find out in The Hobbit DVD extras, he enjoys playing & is quite good at Risk, a Te-heavy strategy game. He also enjoys planning out the battles in his Middle-earth films, mapping formations & movements. Inferior Si: "Continuity is for sissies"
