Todd Alquist MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Todd Alquist? Todd Alquist is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sx/so - 962 in Enneagram, RCOAN in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.

I suppose this is what a 9w1 villain looks like? I haven't seen a situation like this before. Even the word "villain" itself is strange to use with Todd, because he doesn't act like a villain on the surface at all. If you casually met him on the street, you would get the impression that he is a normal, polite, civil, and accommodating individual. And to a degree, he *is*. He shows no signs of anger, hatred, or really any malicious intent. His politeness isn't even really a mask, it's just him being himself. He's not faking his niceness nor is he intentionally deceiving people. He only seems to do evil things because he is involved with evil people. He kills only for the "best interest" for the people he is involved with, not for himself or his own desire. Unlike other villains, whose motivations usually stem from lust, revenge, greed, or some other antisocial personality trait, Todd's "villainy" comes from a very concerning level of detachment and lack of concern for human life, as well as the inability to establish his own moral boundaries- causing him to just go with the flow with his uncle Jack and the other Neo-Nazis (without even questioning them, mind you). (As a side note, this also looks like very unhealthy Si-Fe.) It's fascinating, because that is what a 9w1 villain should be like in theory. Completely detached from their own will and going along with the evils *around them*. A very, very unhealthy 9w1, obviously, I've just never seen it in practice like this until Todd. And by the way, I hope no Nines were offended by this post. I love hanging out with Nines. Sweetest people I know. I just found this rare instance of an "evil" Nine really interesting. Edit: It should also be noted that Todd clearly shows signs of mental illnesses such as ASPD/sociopathy, as shown by his lack of remorse/guilt; I just didn't wish to conflate that with his typology. It's not right to mix mental diagnoses and typology because that would further propagate stereotyping/toxicity in the community. This is a problem that already exists with stereotypes such as "Enneagram 4 = Depression" and "Enneagram 8 = ASPD". It's really disheartening and disappointing to see people like that. It's wrong to say "Todd doesn't care about human life because he is a Nine". It's better to say "Todd doesn't care about human life because he has a mental illness, and this is how it can manifest as a Nine." (And *any* type can have said illness.)
