Hugh Dennis MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Hugh Dennis? Hugh Dennis is an INTP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sp/so - 953 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, in Socionics.
He's definitely a Ti dom. If you look at his performance on Taskmaster you can see his internal logic system very clearly as he attempts the tasks, and often comes up with pretty ingenious ways of doing things, though not as ingenious as the likes of Rhod Gilbert, an ENTP, who puts Ne first and foremost and does the most crazy and bizarre things. For example, in the task where they had to bring Alex the sandwiches through the mass of string, he saw the external data that was in front of him and with his internal logic he immediately worked out how to compete the task "scissors, please" and easily won, I believe. This is also an indicator of Alex Horne's Ti - most of the tasks have some way to get around them if you use an internal, logical way of understanding and processing the world to make decisions rather than doing exactly what it says on the card. Tim Key and Richard Osman, both INTPs, were the first people to discover things and set a kind of precedent so that people who don't necessarily use Ti might be able to do well anyway if they know to force their Ti into position. They acted as the key to the Ti world of Taskmaster. Anyway, back to Hugh. On pretty much everything he's been on you can see his Ti+Ne shining through: Mock the Week, he's very quick-witted, very fast to think of something to say during the improvised bits. When he's been on WILTY, he explains himself in a very calm and logical way (although that's not necessarily indicative of INTP... just look at David Mitchell, the antithesis of a calming presence). He finds patterns in the world around him, the external data that he's been given, and processes them internally to make good comedy. Hugh Dennis in a Taskmaster interview - "He [Hugh] brings a certain sort of logic which may or may not work in his favour. For example I know the fairness of these tasks are fairly arbitrary, but how do you know these headphones are tied the same way for everyone?"
