Personality
What personality type is Arsène Lupin? Arsène Lupin is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - so/sp - 371 in Enneagram, SCOEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
After reading more books i have to type him as an ENTP, i understand the INFJ votes and the INTJ ones, but i think Lupin shows a lot of Ne that can be seen as Ni, he does plan a lot and is always one step ahead of other people but i think that can just be attributed to him foreseeing all potential ways a situation could go, he quite literally says so in The Hollow Needle, i don't remember the exact quote but he's talking to Beautrelet about how there's always something he's gonna miss and how he makes sure to think of every possibility for a situation to go wrong so he's always in control of things, i see that as intuition geared towards the external instead of the internal. I also see him having a lot of Ti, yes he is very organized and methodical but he has some really ingenious and creative thinking to make sure situations go the way he wants them to, i think he fits ENTP more because to me he is def a thinking type, on the first book, which are just collections of his stories he does fall for a woman and gets caught over that, and that almost repeats itself again on the same book, and it happens again on the Hollow Needle, but i don't know if these situations necessarily mean that he has high Fe, on the novel 813 he says to his old caretaker that to him everyone else are just chess pieces that he moves around for his goals, only after he wins he would consider how they feel about it, and after the moment he cuts someone's finger after letting them commit suicide and almost dying gave me the impression he's definetely a Thinking type instead of Feeler, not that feeling types cannot be cold and logical on their choices, but i would expect them to have a bigger internal conflict about it, if it goes along with their morals, Lupin demonstrates none of that, those scenarios where he falls for a woman are the only cases (so far) where he forgets details that lead to his capture or defeat, you could also just point that to inf Si For enneagram i used to think he was a 3 but after reading more books i think he fits more qualities of the enneagram 7, it seems the main reason he became a thief is because he was powerless and impoverished as a child, which led to him always wanting more, when he describes his feelings while disguising himself and manipulating situations to Beautrelet in the Hollow Needle he talks about the thrilling aspect of it and how fun it all is for him, he's a thrill seeker and pulling heists and manipulating situations are his way of satiating his desires, i would almost say he's an 8, there's a lot of 8 qualities on him as well since he values power and sees himself as superior to others, the only reason i settle with 7 right now is because he doesn't really force his way to get his needs met by confrontation, he strategizes, makes a mafia of powerful friends to always help him when he needs, manipulates people and situations to happen as he wants it to, seems more like traits of charlatanism of an sp 7 than anything else, he def has a strong 3 fix as well but i don't think he does everything he does for the purpose of his identity and appearance/ how he comes off to other people.
