Nicodemus MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Nicodemus? Nicodemus is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - so/sp - 693 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.
He is definitely Ne>Si, which is blatant in the first episode where he is with his wife preparing for a ceremony of sorts and he is comparing our perception of God to a blurry mirror. He goes on a little tangent about how there could be things far more than our understanding instead of sticking to what he and everyone else has been told about the Lord. He is asking theoretics that could be seen as blasphemy, especially coming from someone in his authority. There are other examples of his Ne (as well as Ti), but this particular scene screamed to me. There is also the conversation between him and Shmuel, who has high Si, in a later episode (S1 E6). "So you would place limits on the Almighty?...And if God did something that you felt contradicted the Torah, would you tell Him to get back in that box that you have carved for Him, or would you question your interpretation of the Torah?...We are still students Shmuel, our understanding will never be complete...And fear lone assures that we remain ignorant. Asleep in the safety of rigid tradition." Comparing that to Shmuels Si who believes the interpretation of God can only come from written law and what people already have been told, and any other possibility will be blasphemy. I love Nicodemus for the fact that despite having high authority and privilege in the church, he still allows himself to think outside of the box and look for other possibilities, resulting in him wanting to protect Jesus from people like Shmuel.
