Walter Kovacs "Rorschach" MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Walter Kovacs "Rorschach"? Walter Kovacs "Rorschach" is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w9 - sx/so - 164 in Enneagram, RLOEN in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.
Dominant Si: Rorschach describing his first murder to the therapist was done in a very Si way, to him it is something he has himself assigned meaning to, beyond the fact that it was his first kill. He is a very meticulous person who would rather do what he know will work rather than experiment with something new. Generally Si doms are very categorical. Rorschach has clear gripes with specific "categories" of people, based on his experiences with them, women are a great example of this. His childhood experiences with his mother has led him to despise women. Aux Te: This is where I notice a lot of people trip up. They make the mistake that Te will be totally objective and unbiased. It is true a Te user will try their darned hardest to remain objective, but what they consider to be objective fact, might not be objective fact. Rorschach is an unhealthy dude, with twisted views on the world, but to him everything he does is completely rational. He doesn't seem to be curious about the inner workings of systems nor does he care, he is more interested in how to apply said systems. Tert Fi: Continuing on my points in Te. Rorschach is a incredibly focused on morality and what he considers right and wrong. The reason why some people mistype him as ISFP stems from this. We can however conclude that Fi dom isn't the case from the fact that he constantly tries to rationalize his Fi with Te. We see this in his moral absolutism, to him there is no Fi nuance, there is good and there is evil. Inferior Ne: Rorschach is closed off to alternate viewpoints, often refusing to even acknowledge their potential merit. This results in Rorschach being a frustratingly stubborn. He's skeptical and distrustful of anything vague or foreign to him. He is not interested in anything novel. LSI seems to be the consensus on Socionics which I wholeheartedly agree with, so I won't write anything on that. I haven't really come to a decision on his enneagram, I will come back to it at some point.
