Personality

What personality type is Kevin Ryan? Kevin Ryan is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/so - in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.

I'd say 1 > 9 trifix for Ryan. The primary obstacle his character deals with throughout the series is a harsh criticism he has towards himself for not doing his job "perfectly" enough. A few instances - getting angry at himself for 3XK's killings, because he believes his imperfect actions were the cause of his gun getting stolen (he constantly revisits this and blames/criticises his actions throughout the whole show), blaming himself for the congressman's wife getting killed in ep. 7x18 because he thinks he should've done his job better. I notice that Ryan is very quick to take on false blame whenever something goes wrong that he was involved in, and starts telling himself: "I should have been faster. I should have pulled my gun quicker, I should have had him, I should've been better, I should've done this or that, etc." referencing himself to a high standard that he feels he falls short of. He is extremely hard on himself and gets frustrated with himself often - more so than anyone on the team aside from Beckett. What I see in him is very in line with Sp1 in particular: "In the E1, the passion of Anger combined with the SP instinct turns the anger against oneself. The Anger of the SP1 is then transformed into worrying about not being perfect. They feel as if they have to be perfect to survive. This 1 is the most perfectionistic, as well as the 1 that hides their anger the most, often you will find this subtype turning their anger outward into warmth, he does not want to let his anger show through. They can feel dirty or that they have a lot to improve in themselves, which gives them an excess of extra pressure. " I see more anger (self-directed, E1) in Ryan than anything in the vein of slothfulness (E9)
