Personality

What personality type is Acharya Prashant? Acharya Prashant is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.

'Where wisdom reigns, their is no conflict between thinking and feeling' -Carl Jung Acharya Prashant seems true to this line said by Jung himself. AP actively says that one is not the body but is something else, and then furthers it by saying that the real is ultimate potential. This ultimate potential blurs the line between the different personality aspects. All of this reflects in his actions(karma) and therefore make it very difficult to fit him into any one type. Now why I say INFP? He is Introvert. Himself says that, and etc. obvious factors. He is iNtutive, and is one of the person who is marketing Intution/Openness among Indians. Advocating openness is one of the major part of his speeches especially when addressing Indians. Feeling. Why feeling? I can not say clearly, but Percieving. He advocates spontaneity (but the INFJ Philosophers also do), and the Ne which he exhibits in the speeches. He himself says that he does not have the ability to plan for the future, which is very rare to listen from a J type. But again boxing him inside any type especially at his present stage is incorrect as typology itself is a very limited and disputed subject and the fact of who he is. I would further this by saying typing anyone including ourselves, is a very limiting and incomplete approach. p.s. according to him type is body identification and not the true essence of us. And also he seems more a fan of Freud than Jung as the latter had a fair share of believes in superstitions and that kind of stuff whereas former was more firm on Rationality.
