Griffin Lovell MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Griffin Lovell? Griffin Lovell is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - SX6 - 783 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.

Why not counterphobic 6 instead of 8? "The Sexual Six, or counterphobic Six, goes on the offensive, reacting to threats with agression. They aim to appear strong and intimidate others to avoid being vulnerable. They can be rebels, risk takers, or trouble makers, and often aren't aware of how fear drives their behavior." Griffin's insistence on violent conflict is not driven by 8's desire for independence, control or self-reliance. Being attentive, offensive, and uncompromising in his opinions are only the means to deal with fear, just like how he dealt with his unexpected act of murder. In this sense he and Robin are similar, despite that he more often chooses to "fight" while Robin chooses to "flight." --- I like this character and feel obliged to say more. I see clear that he is a fi user. As far as I know, ti users can hardly be so clear in their stances. Griffin is consistent in his acts concerning values, morals and ethics. It is just the fact that Kuang is a ti user makes his moral viewpoints lack a certain depth. (For comparison you might want to have a look at how Victor Hugo depicts Enjolras in Les Misérables.) Why 4 but not 2? Being revolutionary against the privilidged does not necessarily prove him a 2. I don't think he is really being unselfish and offering unconditional love. He is individualistic and uncooperative. He is straightforward in reaction to his feelings, and his hatred towards Babel is mostly driven by a dearth of love.
