Lionel Messi MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Lionel Messi? Lionel Messi is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 9w8 - sp/sx - 936 in Enneagram, RCUAN in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.

People typing him ISTP: “But he is smart, doesn’t show emotions much and doesn’t like fashion.” People typing him ISFP: Use actual quotes and examples from his life. Examples of quotes proving high Fi: "I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy.” “If football has taught me anything it is that you can overcome anything if, and only if, you love something enough.” “Barcelona is my life, they have brought me to where I am today, I could not leave, I don't want to leave. My heart stays with Barcelona.” “We are not going to give up, we are many more who want to live in a world in peace, without hate and where respect and tolerance are the basis of coexistence.” “Of course money takes that worry out of your life and enables you to provide for your family - but if it was playing professional football for free or choose another living, then l would choose football every time.” “Being a bit famous now gives me the opportunity to help people who really need it, especially children.” “There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.” These all show that he values Fi strongly. Most of his quotes are all similar to this. If he was a high Ti user, we would see it more in the way he says things and his quotes wouldn’t all he focused on strong morals. Someone also commented below that he said once that he doesn’t think about what he is doing in the game, and just reacts. That is something very Fi-Se, similar to how Michael Jackson talked about dancing. Edit: (I found the quote) “I never think about the play or visualize anything. I do what comes to me at that moment. Instinct.” Also, another point of Messi having strong Fi that someone commented below me, is the fact that he refused to play with Icardi on the national team because he cheated with Lopez’s wife. His Fi clouded him from the fact that Icardi could help their national team performance. Someone with Ti would care less about being morally consistent in the same manner.
