Willy Loman MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Willy Loman? Willy Loman is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - so/sp - in Enneagram, RLUEN in Big 5, in Socionics.
willy is OBVIOUSLY an ISTJ in a Si-Fi loop. He is obsessed with his past mistakes which can be seen in his flashbacks. He sees all of his failire in those! They always start positive and then change to his mistakes, such as the financial problems, Biff being caught stealing (he asks himself what he did wrong there) and so on. Moreover, signs of a loop is being stuck in the past. That's the thing with Willy, he is always trying to find solutions in the past. For example when talking to Howard, he tries to keep his job by telling him a dtory pf the past. He also experiences fear and doubt. Willy is very doubtful of his capabilities which can be seen when he talks about his insecurities to Linda ("i'm fat, they laugh at me, i'm no good for anything, etc"). In a SiFi Loop, ISTJs become reclusive and stuck in their comfort zone. That is also happening to Willy, he expresses this in his pride. He is too proud to accept the job offer of Charley and he does not become successful because he never takes risks like Ben did. A loop makes ISTJs feel like they've lost control. This is angering Willy too, for example his car 'accidents' or that Biff does not live up to his expectations. Only because a character shows idealistic thoughts and has dreams, that doesn't mean that he is a Fi dom. I mean, seriously guys, the dominant Si couldn't be more obvious and you type him as INFP? What the hell.
