Evelyn Waugh MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Evelyn Waugh? Evelyn Waugh is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - - 459 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, in Socionics.
Waugh's literary inclinations, his appreciation of visual art and his strong religious feeling are all classic indicators of high openness. His complete disregard for his academic and professional duties in his time as student, journalist and military man along with his lifelong over indulgence in drink, drugs and food all mark him out as a man with very low conscientiousness. His habit of preferring to spend as much time as possible partying and socialising rather than working suggest at least moderately high extroversion. He certainly displayed no signs of shyness or awkwardness in his intimidating and often combative interactions with others. His reputation for being irascible, ill-tempered and condescending suggests low agreeableness. However he was popular amongst his large circle of friends so we cannot assume that his agreeableness was exceptionally low. Throughout his life he struggled with depression which he largely medicated with drugs and alcohol. He even attempted suicide once as a young man when he found himself without employment: he intended to swim out to sea and drown himself but he was put off when a jellyfish attacked him. High O. Very low C. High E. Low A. High N.
