Louis XI of France MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Louis XI of France? Louis XI of France is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w9 - sp/sx - 853 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.

Without a doubt the most intelligent French monarch, likely with a genius level intellect. His designs and intrigues were miles ahead of his rivals and his ability to manage or manipulate them was really unparalleled. I can’t see anything else for him but INTJ 5w6. Maybe an 8w9 but I’d still say no. He was too cerebral, too intellectual, I think. But he might had some other traits that mimicked an ENTJ even though he was mostly reserved and calculating, I think this purposely disguised a fierce personality underneath.

Biography

Louis XI (3 July 1423 – 30 August 1483), called "Louis the Prudent" (French: le Prudent), was King of France from 1461 to 1483. He succeeded his father, Charles VII. Louis entered into open rebellion against his father in a short-lived revolt known as the Praguerie in 1440. The king forgave his rebellious vassals, including Louis, to whom he entrusted the management of the Dauphiné, then a province in southeastern France. Louis's ceaseless intrigues, however, led his father to banish him from court. From the Dauphiné, Louis led his own political establishment and married Charlotte of Savoy, daughter of Louis, Duke of Savoy, against the will of his father. Charles VII sent an army to compel his son to his will, but Louis fled to Burgundy, where he was hosted by Philip the Good, the Duke of Burgundy, Charles' greatest enemy. When Charles VII died in 1461, Louis left the Burgundian court to take possession of his kingdom.
