Inspector Javert MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Inspector Javert? Inspector Javert is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - sp/so - 163 in Enneagram, RLOEN in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.

I really can’t see Javert being an extrovert. He’s an incredibly solitary person and his Si definitely overpowers his Te. He has SO much tertiary Fi too, clinging to/internalizing the law so much that it blinds him to outside perspectives and he becomes completely lost when he realizes he might be wrong. Honestly he’s my definitive fictional ISTJ for better or worse

Biography

Inspector Javert is a guard in the prison Jean Valjean is released from, who later joins the Paris police force. In the musical, he infamously makes it his life goal to track down Valjean, but in the original novel he is really no more dedicated to catching Valjean than to dealing out justice to any other criminal. In fact, he runs into Valjean several times through pure coincidence and fails to recognize him.
