Marshall Eriksen MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Marshall Eriksen? Marshall Eriksen is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - so/sx - 927 in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.

Dom Fi and inferior Te: His dominant Fi is obvious. He prioritizes above all his own values, morals and judgements. He does whatever is more important or likeable to him based on his morals, even is there is a "objectively" better option. His Fi and Te are at constant war with each other when he works at GNB, because he knows that it goes against his values to work there. He technically wasn't directly harming the environment, and working there provided a stable income for him and Lily. He feels extremely forced to work at GNB, because it goes against his Fi, eventually he gives in, and quits, to pursue his dream and follow his values. This feels natural to him, because since its his dominant function, its basic nature to him. He hated the business world because how much it drove him away from his identity, to the point that it hamed his relationship with Lily. It's obvious how much of a blind spot and how much trouble he has with Te. Aux Ne and tert Si: He also has good Ne, don't get me wrong, but, of you compare him to Barney, I think there's a pretty clear difference. His Ne is more stable and balanced (with tert Si). His Ne seems to be helping his Fi, not the other way around. Unlike Barney, who feels the need to have constant new experiences, regardless of any risks, Marshall's tert Si makes him more cautious and careful when it comes to new experiences. He doesn't struggle as much as Barney with routine work. Fi-Si loop: Fi-Si loop is described as a loop that causes the user to feel overly-nostalgic and stuck in past memories when they felt better, or they had a better life. We can see this a few times over the show, for example when his father died, or when he moved out of their first apartment, he gets stuck in his memories and the meaning they brought to him. Remember that an INFP can still be socially outgoing and extroverted
