Gale Boetticher MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Gale Boetticher? Gale Boetticher is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sx/sp - 952 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

What people think inferior Fe means: poor social skills, low agreeableness, incel, aloof, terrible at expressing emotions What inferior Fe actually is: repressing group morality and sentimental judgment. Gale's Ti dominance is demonstrated most clearly in the scene where he explains WHY he does what he does. There's no sentimental reasoning, no consideration for what his group feels. Gale is driven to this line of work simply because he believes all the "non-chemistry" that comes with pursuing professional chemistry the "right way" (Fe) is unnecessary and doesn't make sense (Ti). Further, in that very scene, he explains that he is a libertarian, people can do what they want regardless of what society tells them (Ti dom and inferior Fe). He believes "someone else would do it anyway", therefore there's no harm in producing meth that is in fact safer. An Fe user is considerate of the group's morals and sentimentality. From that scene, we can discern that Gale lives by his own subjective logic, and represses group thinking. This is enough to call him Ji dom. Even the INFP voters have better reasoning than the ISFJ voters. How do you explain his inferior Ne placement, which seeks to impose control on the environment to avoid abstract fears? He's not hard to type at all, you just need to look at what MBTI actually claims to measure and there is no confusion. INTP to the bone.
