Louis IX of France "Saint Louis" MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Louis IX of France "Saint Louis"? Louis IX of France "Saint Louis" is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sx - 126 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
Probably one of the most humble and charitable king of all times. He personally fed poor people and encouraged his knights to do the same. He was described by Jean de Joinville, his seneschal and friend, as a very idealistic and stubborn person, but with a great sense of humor. He probably tried to emulate the perfect virtues that a Catholic king was expected to follow, but he had difficulties to interact with his own family and to show affection to them. This is probably caused by the oppressive realtionship he had with his own mother more than his type, but I think that his "following what the Church/society/mother would want me to be" is a sign of Fe over Fi. He costantly asked questions like "would you rather be in hell or be a leper?" to his friends, so I would say Intuition over Sensor functions. The result is Fe Ni Se Ti, an ENFJ. He could also be an INFJ, but it's rather difficult to assess.
