Personality

What personality type is Nick Fury? Nick Fury is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w9 - sp/so - 863 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.

The MCU's Nick Fury is a definite ENTJ, but if some people need an explanation I will put forward one that I cannot deny, because I refuse to deny my own explanations, and they're right. That's how I see it. When I make statements I'm on drugs and I don't shut off my supplier. Why is the MCU's Nick Fury an ENTJ? He coexists with subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni). That's how he reasons with the heroes. That's how he gets his points across. He hammers down on what he knows and personally expects, and, what do you know, people pay attention. His blood on the cards motivation trick was a product of conscious objective optics (Te) divided by conscious subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni). He knew that seeing the symbol (the Te) of blood on Agent Coulson's vintage Captain America cards would indignify the indifferent heroes (Cap and Tony) to unite against Loki. He didn't care about the objective metrics/values/limitation (Fe) of doing such a thing. He just did what he knew would work, which is Te-Ni. "Why did Fury call us and why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us. I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables." "You think Fury's hiding something?" "He's a spy. Captain, he's the spy. His secrets have secrets." ―Tony Stark and Steve Rogers This dialogue examples how others view Fury as somewhat of an enigma, which is how people view types with high conscious subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni). Ni is the introverted function that is the most individual, because it is dealing with the phenomenon of one's personality, the make up of their personal evolution, so it has a mysterious quality that cannot be easily guessed. It's not like Fi where you can say they feel kind of X, Y, Z; it's not like Ti where you can see they're looking at it X, Y, Z, and it's not like Si where you can say they got it X, Y, Z, but Ni is off the reservation, so to speak, because you can't say obviously that somebody knows and expects X, Y, and Z. What Ni is doing is not easily ascertained to be interesting in the sense of being consensual. People tend to be personally hesitant about trusting high Ni types and once people personally trust they tend to keep that trust tentative with high Ni types. The MCU's Nick Fury is absolutely a conscious strong Ni type. "Director Fury, the council has made a decision." "I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it." ―World Security Council and Nick Fury This dialogue examples Fury's dominant Te. He doesn't value objective metrics/values/limitation (Fe), but he values objective optics/symbols/vantages (Te). He's willing to break the rules (Fe bureaucratic red tape) in order to do what needs doing. He decides his own metrics/values/limitation (Fi). He doesn't need anybody else's opinion with that stuff. "You think you could make Loki tell us where the Tesseract is?" "I do not know. Loki's mind is far afield. It's not just power he craves, it's vengeance, upon me. There's no pain would prise his need from him." "A lot of guys think that. Until the pain starts." "What are you asking me to do?" "I'm asking, what are you prepared to do?" "Loki is a prisoner." "Then why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here?" ―Nick Fury and Thor This dialogue examples Fury's subjective metrics/values/limitation (Fi) functioning in tandem with his subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni). He reciprocally asks "why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants" because he knows through Ni that his Fi isn't lying to him. One of the benefits of having conscious Ni over conscious Fi is that you know when your feelings are telling the truth versus nonsense. XNTJ types instinctively come to know the older they get when they are fooling themselves, so in maturity XNTJ types develop the strongest willpower out of all the types, due in part to conscious Fi affirmations being filtered through subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni), i.e. XNTJ types know when their feelings are pertinent. Fury's instincts are compassable, which is one of the reasons why he's S.H.I.E.L.D's Director. He doesn't feed into his emotions, but he goes around them to figure them out; use them as tools. "How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war, you steal a force you can't hope to control, you talk about peace, and you kill 'cause it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did." ―Nick Fury to Loki This quote examples Fury's conscious Ni-Fi self-awareness. He knows he's a force to be reckoned with even if/when odds are against him. It's what makes him such a good leader. He brings the avengers together when as individuals they have fallen apart. Fury knows there's more than meets the eye to any situation and to anybody, and he pays attention like a hawk to what matters, which is why people come around to his rule breaks. The MCU's Nick Fury is an ENTJ.
