Personality
What personality type is Bill? Bill is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 684 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
I'm tired of people typing based on their feelings about a character, where none of that's appropriate in a case of scientific and behavioral study. ENOUGH. Read up on cognitive functions, so I don't have to see anyone else spitting out a claim without a valid argument or answer. Ti: Introverted thinking is all about internal personal logic to make judgment calls innerly. A good hint of his Ti is that Bill never actually discusses his calls out loud, nor does he ever plan things collaboratively. To survive for as long as he did, Bill put people into categories. The government that he couldn't trust, or the other people that would try and use his resources to their own advantage. The lights turn off on the hardware store, which throws Bill off guard. While unexpecting the shutdown, he calmly replies with, "That was fast." Bill didn't plan any of it, he ran on in the moment internal logic and instinct. Se: Se is all about engaging in the physical realm, and taking in physical data. Before you Si users and ISTJ's start crying about Intuitive Bias and ISTP people, please read for further clarification. Si is still taking in tangible data but, this data is often already been proven and verified to work. Si involved past impressions, ones that either ensure personal content or simply work like a charm; why replace them with something that works? Bill isn't a Si user, he never talks about his past or even so much as holds any ties to past things. One could argue he has an attachment to his past guns but, these are simply useful tools as opposed to anything sentimental. Ni: Introverted Intuition is not the all-knowing sage function everyone dramatizes, it's about being able to collect physical information and finding meaning in it. This speaks well to Bill, who only forms a conclusion after he has all the physical present facts. None of this speaks true when Bill first meets Frank. While a Ne user would consider probabilities, sorry one lone INTP vote, Bill asks tangible questions. There isn't "What does he know of the outside?" "What happens if I do this?" "What if this?" "What if that?" Nope. Bill asks only a few tangible things, "Are you alone? Are you infected?" Right when Bill is about to get rid of Frank, we clearly see Bill hasn't even considered the idea that maybe Frank could be valuable and that eventually, more people might come. In fact, he doesn't even see Joel's concern about raiders. During the raider attack, Bill hastily rushed out to fight back without considering the big picture that the odds might not be in his favor, which leads him to get shot. When raiders did come, only then did Bill think of his and Frank's future. "Call Joel," Frank realizes as he's bleeding and shot after rushing in to act without taking in as much data first to generate a solid conclusion. Another point of Ni, is when Bill realized based on his surroundings and happenings that, "Frank was my purpose." Fe: No doubt about it, Bill is one cold-displaying person. Bill never considers people being in his realm, just himself. This changes when Frank comes along, and we see Bill struggle to initially reach common ground with Frank, who thanks to being a Fe dom makes this process smooth and easy for a man like Bill. While stubborn, Bill will at times cave into Frank's needs: Even when Frank traded a pistol for those strawberries. The most defining display of inferior Fe is how hard Frank is at composing himself compared to the calm Frank that has accepted his mortality and aging. Bill finally complies with Frank's request to die peacefully through being poisoned, and finally also decided to end his own life with his lover; thus making me cry for two whole days. It was at that night, that Bill finally acknowledged the idea of leaving a goodbye note to Joel and leaving him his gear and even agreeing on their nature to try and protect what they love. I hope this clears things up.
