Ryan Ross MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Ryan Ross? Ryan Ross is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/sp - 459 in Enneagram, RCUAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Fi vs Fe I firmly believe Ryan uses Fi over Fe. He left Panic! over musical differences because he wasn’t going to stick around a band that wasn’t fulfilling his wants; Fi users tend to put what they want before others wants. Ryan wanted to pursue a more classic rock sound, Beatles esc, whereas Brendon wanted to have a more pop sound. Ryan left the band because of the difference, he’d rather go with his wants than stick around the group’s wants. Another thing that screamed Fi to me was the fact that he completely left social media. Most people who had a successful band probably wouldn’t want to just leave everybody hanging, letting go of most of their fame. Ryan prioritizes what’s good for him. He seems to have strong internal values, not caring whether or not fans stuck around. Ti vs Te I already know Ryan uses Te. He outwardly talks about his thinking process, which is very Te. Te users tend to just absentmindedly say what they’re thinking, what their thought process is behind something, and how they came to some kind of understanding. In interviews, Ryan sounds so intellectual because he openly talks about his logic. He definitely spends a lot of talking trying to make sense of things. Ni vs Ne Ryan uses Ne for sure. Look at the lyrics he wrote for ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’, and especially look at the lyrics he wrote for ‘Pretty. Odd.’. Such abstract lyrics I’m convinced can only come from a highly used intuitive function. Ne is a function that learns from things first hand. Before the writing of ‘Pretty. Odd.’, there was another album that Ryan was working towards called ‘Cricket and Clover’. This album never landed, but apparently it was very experimental; no chorus or parts that didn’t repeat, according to Rob Mathes (the album’s producer). Ne is a function that tests ideas with time. It can come up with a lot of ideas but time decides whether or not anything will happen with them. This explains the wide array of songs Ryan has written. Si vs Se Because I’m assuming Ryan’s sensing function is one of his weaker ones, this is gonna be harder to figure out. I believe Ryan is an Si user over Se because he’s more of an observer than someone who desires to act. He wants to sit back and take in information, while an Se user would want to learn from jumping right into an experience. This observing is intentional from Si, they prefer no surprises. An Se user normally unconsciously takes in information & are less worried about the future- they take what life throws at them. Though I don’t have much backup on this take, the interviews I’ve watched pointed to him being more of an Si user than Se. You can tell when he’s observing something and trying to make sense of it. Now we find the dominant function, auxiliary function, tertiary function, and inferior function. I believe Ryan’s first function will be an introverted one, because he’s obviously an introvert. His strongest of the two introverted functions is Fi, so that’s probably his dominant function. Dominant: Fi. The only two types with a dominant Fi are ISFP and INFP. INFP clearly makes the most sense, using Ne auxiliary and Te inferior. With all the functions I’ve explained, the lineup of Fi-Ne-Si-Te fits perfectly for Ryan. In conclusion, Ryan is probably most likely an INFP. But I could be completely wrong and I’m basing this off of interviews I’ve seen and other’s experiences with him that I’ve read.
