Morty Smith MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Morty Smith? Morty Smith is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - sp/so - 692 in Enneagram, RLUAN in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.
He's an ISFJ, albeit he's become a bit of an unhealthy one at this stage in the show. I'd say he's more comfortable using Si than he is with Ne, mostly because he seems happier when doing stuff that's familiar to him. In the beginning, he preferred having a normal teenage life. He hated having to go on adventures with Rick and wanted to just stay in school and do regular things. But then as the series progressed, Rick's lifestyle practically permeated the family, and it became the new norm for Morty. He grew accustomed to it, to the point where, once Rick left him at the end of S5, Morty was devastated, and he pulled out all the stops to get Rick back and resume the lifestyle that had become familiar to him. Another really good example for spotting Morty's Si is when he goes back to his original universe at the start of S6 and runs into his original Jerry. Even though his world has been completely destroyed and the people have been Cronenberged, when his original Jerry seemed interested in playing the Downbeat game, Morty was ecstatic. That familiarity of doing something he's enjoyed in the past, brings him happiness and comfort in unfamiliar situations. So when his original Jerry abandoned him and left, Morty was, once again, devastated. On the other hand, Morty seems to be terrified by unpredictability at times, which is in line with inferior Ne. This is really exemplified in the S4 episode with the death crystals. When he sees all the numerous possible ways he could die, he tries to go for the one death that seems the most stable: dying at a nursing home with Jessica by his side. As a result, he overrelies on his dominant Si and becomes very risk-averse, to the point where he sees nothing wrong with becoming a complete recluse. And when Rick finally pries the death crystal off his forehead, Morty once again becomes scared of that newfound uncertainty. Funnily enough, in the tag of that episode, he starts becoming a little too overreliant on Ne and even his opposing Se. "What, cover me with gasoline and spiders? I'm in!" lol As for his feeling function, I've seen a lot of people say that some Fi users can come off as Fe, and I do agree with that. But on the flip side, some Fe users can also appear to be Fi, and I think that's the case with Morty. His Fi-like outbursts feel more like demonstrative Fi than front-stack Fi. To me, what ultimately gives him away as an Fe user is his desire for open communication. He's constantly nagging Rick to open up and share his feelings and thoughts with him, and when Rick finally gives him an integral piece of his backstory at the end of S5, Morty is actually very happy that Rick shared that information with him. This is just my interpretation of Morty and why I think he's an ISFJ.
