The Corinthian MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is The Corinthian? The Corinthian is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sp/sx - 783 in Enneagram, SCUEN in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.

I don't think The Corinthian is a 3 core, even being typically suave and charismastic which is probably simply related to ESTPs' tert Fe. He literally lives for the pleasure that killing brings him and planning and enjoying the thrill of his next big hunt, he's self-centered and more interested in his contenment that in being inspirational. The idea of being absorbed by Dream is dreadful to him and to get away with it he plans and takes advantage over and over again of ways of keeping him at bay and being free forever. Even though Dream created him to reflect the fears of the dreamers and helping them finding ways of facing them he unadvertedly created a cult around him and when his followers brought this to his attention he's barely midly amused and yet again uses this situation selfishly. The emotional drive of a 7 is gluttony and, quite literally and metaphorically, The Corinthian wants to live unrestrictedly killing and fu**ing and eating the eyes of his victims to see what they saw in their last moments and understand what's to feel human throught this. 3s look for admiration and approval, The Corianthian deep down wanted this from Dream but his desire of intertaiment and self-fullfiment are a priority for him and way WAY larger than anything else. He's unapologetically reckless and dismissive of his original purpose, reputation and job, there's no subtype of 3 that acts like this. Lastly he's too cunning, deceitful, indirect to conduct his deeds and generally avoidant of conflictive and negative emotional states to be a typically earthy, focused and bold 8, his rebellion against Dream doesn't come from a need of empowerment or subjugation but rather exploration and enjoyement
