Terence Fletcher MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Terence Fletcher? Terence Fletcher is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - sx/so - 136 in Enneagram, SLOEI in Big 5, LSE in Socionics.
Fletcher is a clear LSI. Aushra Augusta: “Teachers with this type of personality are distinguished by strictness, coldness, and exactingness. The student is a student and must ‘know their place’. The systematic nature of the LSI’s thinking does not allow for deviation from what has been established. If the teacher says that some object is 1) heavy, 2) green, and 3) wooden, then God forbid a student says it in the wrong order! There is a hierarchy of these attributes. After all, there are no signs that are parallel! Any other order just isn’t right.” Fletcher’s entire attitude towards teaching music can be seen in this brief passage from Augusta’s description of LSIs, although in him the “strictness” and “exactingness” is admittedly exaggerated! His philosophy as an educator is that there is a very clearly-defined “correct” way of being a proper musician, and he makes all of his students submit to this way of thinking and playing. Fletcher appears to believe that a band is essentially nothing more than a structured system or a hierarchy in which each member must play their part to perfection. For him, the overall system is more important than the individual components within it, and he will push, prod, berate and torment his students until they manage to become the musical automatons he considers to be ideal. In Socionics, this is Ti blocked with Se.
