"Che tipo di personalità è River Tam? River Tam è un tipo di personalità INTJ in mbti, 8w7 - sp/sx - 852 in enneagram, RLOEI in big 5, ILI in socionics."

p1: Before I get into my own analysis, there are two arguing points that I'm seeing in these comments for the ENTJ typing that absolutely need to be addressed. First, incorrectly calling River's emotional instability an "Fi grip". River's emotional instability is - as explicitly stated in the episode "Ariel" - on account of her amygdala being surgically impaired. Severn Clinic: "The amygdala plays a critical role in processing emotions, particularly fear. It is involved in the perception of emotions, the formation of emotional memories; the amygdala helps the brain respond to emotionally charged stimuli; it is also involved in processing social and moral emotions, such as empathy and guilt. During stressful or emotional times, [the amygdala] is activated to process these feelings. Damage to the amygdala can result in changes in emotional regulation and behaviour, and can lead to issues with anxiety, fear, and irritability." Flint Rehab: "Individuals with amygdala damage may experience difficulty with emotional regulation, primarily in regards to fear. Individuals may experience irritability, confusion, and a variety of strong emotions." As Simon explained, River's emotional confusion and instability are symptoms of 𝗮𝗺𝘆𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (specifically damage to the right amygdala, which regulates negative emotion - notably fear and sadness). It is a medical issue caused by physical damage. This is not related to MBTI. Cleveland Clinic also notes that damage to the amygdala can cause "Intermittent Explosive Disorder" (IED), described as: "A mental health condition marked by frequent impulsive anger outbursts or aggression. The episodes could be temper tantrums, verbal arguments or physical fights or aggression. Symptoms: physically assaulting people or animals, such as shoving, slapping, punching or using a weapon to cause harm." VERY IMPORTANT - Any MBTI type with a damaged amygdala will struggle with emotional dysregulation. It is NOT an "Fi grip", nor is it related to typology. This aspect of River should not be used as an arguing point for typing her. Second point - people here incorrectly calling River's physical impulsivity "high Se". It's interesting that some voters jumped to the interpretation that River's outbursts and physical aggression is "high Se" and an "Fi grip", when this could have just as easily been read as an Se grip - embracing physical recklessness in a desperate attempt to "align the dots" within her cerebral portrait. Namely - stressed dominant Ni seeking convergent singularity of interpretation manifesting through impulsive and physically destructive Se. Regardless, this proclivity is neither "high Se" nor an "Se grip". River's destructive physical expression is directly caused by two things: 1) Emotional outbursts on account of 𝗮𝗺𝘆𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 2) Subliminal triggering. Neither are related to MBTI. Calling her combat skills "Se" is ignoring key points of her story and character. These abilities go back to her reformation at The Academy to make her into a sleeper assassin, as mentioned in Serenity, where it was noted that River had been specifically programmed to initiate the bar fight on Beaumonde, and her skill set was embedded into her at The Academy to make her into a government weapon. Like her emotional instability, her combat skills and physical impulsivity also need to be left off the table when typing her. Accurate typing of River's character requires evaluation of her mental processing BEFORE she underwent experimental alteration at The Academy on Sihnon - and on a later timeline (during the series and film), by disregarding the two points mentioned above. Doing so reveals a pronounced preference for Fi, while Se sits in the inferior position. I'm actually very surprised to see that no one here has made any mention of the "R. Tam Sessions" (with Summer Glau and Joss Whedon) released in 2005. They show River at The Academy before they altered her brain, and throughout her period of deterioration. In Session 1, River was asked by her psychiatrist if The Academy's program was something she would be interested in, and in her response, her approval was conditioned on one thing - that she could still dance while she was there. Dance was not an academic subject, but an activity that River had a strong emotional connection with - so much so, that despite its irrelevance to the program (she was advancing her education in physics), it was the final voice in her decision to stay there and it dictated her entire future. River's choice to stay at The Academy wasn't a practical decision, nor a rational one. She chose her fate based on a factor that had a personal, emotional significance to her. And this was when her brain was 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆. In no way at all was this a decision formed through the priorities of dominant Te and inferior Fi. - cont'd in replies

Biografia

River is the aforementioned precious cargo, and Simon's little sister. She's stone cold crazy. With good reason, though, and she gets a bit better. She's also a prodigy par excellence, taking to difficult subjects with ease (considering university-level physics to be a "challenge" when she was fourteen, for example). She's enough of an asset to the crew at critical times that it makes up for being the load when she's freaking out.
