Lionel Dahmer MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Lionel Dahmer? Lionel Dahmer is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - so/sp - in Enneagram, RCOEN in Big 5, in Socionics.
Just an interesting insight I found in his book: " As a boy, I'd been horribly shy, just as he [Jeffrey] was. Each year, I'd dreaded moving up to the next grade, even when that move wouldn't mean any change in school buildings, and despite the fact that I would still be surrounded by children I already knew. It was as if some element of my character yearned for complete predictability, for rigid structure. Change, whether good or bad, was something fearful to me, something to be avoided." this can be an evidence of his low Ne and Fi. He also mentioned that he always avoided unpredictable circumstances such as his ex-wife's volatile moodiness, one of the reasons why he chose to stay longer hours at work because he felt comfortable knowing the properties and predictability of his job as a chemist rather than the chaos he felt at home. He also mentioned that he was not a "great" student because he was the type to learn slowly and concretely; he was a person that always prefer a structured environment and that he was nothing like some of his classmates back then that have the "creative brilliance" to put in their work. For his enneagram, I'm not quite sure about this one but he also mentioned that he view the world as hostile and suspicious, a place where he always felt uneasy. I think, that very short description might say that he is a 6w5 or a 5w6.
