Trudy the Love Barbarian MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Trudy the Love Barbarian? Trudy the Love Barbarian is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w1 - sx/so - 286 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
She is an INFP because if you know of the neuroscience insights behind types (Dario Nardi), he explains how an Fi dom, especially an INFPs 'flow state' is listening. And a major chunk and insight of this episode was centered around truly being able to listen. Of course the character is very physically competent (which you would think suggests some kind of sensing function) but it's an animated show and she is written to be action/adventure orientated. So we have to type the actual person. That being: Trudy Goodman. So I watched 30 seconds of a video of her and her husband. And she seems like an extrovert, and her husband an introvert. So my whole theory collapses. OR DOES IT?! So I went on to check if the ENFJ vote was valid by looking at the subconscious of the ENFJ. And Ah Ha INFP! That makes a lot of sense, she is very old and into the whole self improvement and meditation scene so it would make sense that she has been developing her subconscious, gaining access to it thus the whole insight into truly being able to listen which would be more of an Fi dom function.
