Personality

What personality type is Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown)? Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown) is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - so/sp - 529 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

He's INFJ, not INTP. Grant Sanderson loves to dive deeply in the abstract mathematical world. He wants to grasp it deeply by connecting topics and coming up with wonderful ideas to visualise and explain them. This in his dominant Ni. He created his YouTube channel because he wanted to share his knowledge and insight with others, solely for the purpose of sharing it. Grant is an excellent teacher. He made his manim animation library open source, so that everyone can get involved with it. Also, he wants others to share their insights the same way he does, and organised a summer of maths exposition. These are all signs for his auxiliary Fe guiding his Ni. Putting it all together: he is an INFJ. As an ENFJ, I recognise many of his personality traits. He is not an INTP (Ti Ne), his intuition is introverted, not extraverted. He goes in depth, not in breath. I understand that people think he uses Ti because he is a mathematician. He does use Ti, but as the third function on the INFJ stack. His Ni is also much more prevalent than his Ti.

Biography

Sanderson graduated from Stanford University in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in math. He worked for Khan Academy from 2015 to 2016, producing videos about multivariable calculus. After approximately one year, Sanderson quit, focusing full-time on 3Blue1Brown. 3Blue1Brown started as a personal programming project in early 2015. In a podcast of Showmakers, Sanderson explained that he wanted to practice his coding skills and decided to make a graphics library in Python, which eventually became the open-source project "Manim" (short for mathematical animations). To have a goal for the project, he decided to create a video with the library and uploaded it to YouTube. On March 4, 2015, he uploaded his first video. He started to publish more videos and improve the graphics tool.
