Sideswipe MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Sideswipe? Sideswipe is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sx/sp - in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, in Socionics.
Self-Preservation 8 Sideswipe learns throughout the story that it's not always necessary to play the rebel and sometimes it's good to obey a system. It plays into his main motivation - "the fight for freedom". He doesn't like being constantly subjected to systems, so he's most conflicted when he's with Strongarm, who tries to police Sideswipe's behavior. Sideswipe also shows elements of SO8, sometimes standing up for the freedom of others, such as trying to help Jetstorm and Slipstream. ESTP Sideswipe manifests himself most through physical actions, "doing" rather than "thinking". He probably believes that quick action leads to quick results, this is more the assumption of someone with a strong extroverted sensation, who then does not realize the real consequences. His typical grim stubbornness is linked to an introverted thinking. When something doesn't make sense to an introverted thinking, it tends to show offensive acts, sometimes demonstrating low extroverted thinking.
