Pride MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Pride? Pride is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - SO2 - 278 in Enneagram, SCOEI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
Your sin is: Pride (the core sin – the essence). But it is a moral-rational pride, not superficial narcissism. The proof is in your words: “I am always morally superior,” “perhaps the only one in society.” Identity is protected by the idea of: morality + rationality, implicit contempt for the group (“the rams”). How does it work psychologically? Your pride is not “I am better,” but rather: “I see what they don’t see, and therefore I have the right to reject them.” It is a survival mechanism against: oppression, assimilation, and becoming an obedient version of the group. The danger here is: if this foundation is shaken, the collapse is not emotional but existential (emptiness + anger + self-contempt).
Biography
(Latin: Superbia): Desire for Attention. Often said to be the big one, as "pride cometh before a fall". However the kicker is not merely to consider oneself great, but specifically to regarded oneself as the most important person around and all others as inferior to you. Traditionally the most vile of the Seven Deadly Sins, it was the one that corrupted the Archangel Lucifer as it involves placing yourself above God (or whatever deity you're invoking) and all others, believing your aims and goals to be more important than all others, and refusing to acknowledge your faults and flaws. In fact, pretty much every villain, in part, is motivated by pride — the idea is, they'd make things work better than what's going on now. So, they feel it's only right they should take over the world. By definition, it is the one Sin that prevents the sinner from repentance, as they are too proud to admit that they were wrong. Termed "self-respect" when treated as a virtue. Pride is usually associated with lions, horses or peacocks and the color purple. The punishment in Hell for committing this sin is to be put on a breaking wheel, which basically amounts to having your limbs crushed. The patron demon for Pride is, understandably, Lucifer. Opposite of Humility.
