Personality
What personality type is Dr. Gregory House? Dr. Gregory House is an personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/sx - 584 in Enneagram, RCUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
House is the best example of an unhealthy ENTP that has ever been written. I understand the INTJ votes, but his Ni-Fi convergent stack is unconscious NOT conscious. Also his Te is virtually non-existent, House is ANYTHING but a Te user. His use of Ne and Ti, and Si inferior, are WAYYY too prevalent for him to be anything other than ENTP. House fits the self-preservation E7 ENTP stereotype perfectly. He’s sarcastic, witty, funny, charismatic, extremely calculating and logical, has a complete absence of empathy (Fi blind), has a distain for “experts” and bureaucrats, has 0 regards for rules or authority, is willing to break the law if it means getting to the answers he’s searching for, he’s motivated only by what keeps him interested, and has little to no desire to expand his power or area of influence. He does not waste a single second doing something that does not interest or fuel his curiosity (Ne). Everything that House does is to avoid PAIN. This is the whole point of the show. He’s addicted to drugs to avoid pain, he keeps people away from him to avoid pain, and he obsessively fixates on complicated, almost seemingly impossible problems, to avoid pain. He’s also extremely manipulative and uses manipulation as a coping mechanism for his inability to handle any sort of real relationship. As soon as anything in his life gets serious, he finds a way to ruin it to avoid feeling the inevitable pain that might come in the future. The constant games he plays with people, the drug binges, the neglect of other’s people’s opinions/feelings, are all to avoid pain. This is textbook ENTP. The INTJ votes are coming from the fact that every time he’s confronted with a problem that seems too difficult to solve, he uses his unconscious Ni pattern recognition/hardcore desire to solve puzzles, as almost a super power that allows him to basically just get the answer. This is all happening unconsciously within House.
