Beidou MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Beidou? Beidou is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sx - 872 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.

Alright! About a month ago I brought up the concept of Beidou being an 8 rather than a 7 and finally have a properly constructed argument with in-game lines and all that jazz It makes sense why people would see her as a 7, Se doms [especially healthy 8s] often get typed as 7s [this also seen in characters like Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place], but her going out and experiencing things and adventuring definitely seems to be more coming from Se than wanting to not miss out. Not to mention she doesn't show most of the traits commonly associated with 7s i.e. being notably optimistic or spontaneous. Her adventure doesn't come from spontaneity, she's a leader who knows what she's doing and puts major emphasis on being her own person and not being controlled- 'Beidou is her own boss and no one, not even Ningguang, is sitting in the background pulling the strings for her.' 'She often breaks the rules in Liyue, often resulting in hefty fines from the Tianquan, but she does not appear to mind paying, despite having lost a significant amount of Mora doing so.' She does what she wants, a heavy focus on keeping her own autonomy and living her life but is also ready to face the consequences. 'She is a good captain, getting along well with her entire crew, prioritizing the interests of her ship and crew first above everything else' While I'm aware we shouldn't type through integration/disintegration, she clearly shows a good amount of integration to 2, while in general having healthy 8 traits such as using her strength to help others and lead. I'd love to see arguments for her being a 7 but I genuinely haven't seen any explanation as to why people thought that, it likely being more of a bandwagon vote due to the 'healthy 8 adventurous Se dom' of it all.

Biography

Beidou (Chinese: 北斗 Běidǒu) is a playable Electro character in Genshin Impact. She is the Captain of the Crux Fleet. Besides her capabilities as a fleet captain and her immense strength, many in Liyue know her for her lack of fear towards the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, Ningguang — a trait that the other woman appreciates, yet grows irritated by.
