@daeus-lamb , I’m sorry to contradict what you say, but I am afraid that your analysis of the INFP, as well as the example you gave, might be misleading to Naiya.

First of all, Kylo Ren isn’t a very stable character, personality-wise, so he is difficult to type, but I firmly disagree with the INFP assessment.

The closest personality to his character I would put as ISFJ.

By contrast, Luke’s personality is an excellent example of an INFP male character. That incorruptibleness, strong sense of justice and obligation, and seeing the good in his father, etc.

It’s not that it’s impossible for an INFP to turn evil, but it would take a lot more than some broken trust. The INFP has a natural bent for good and a keen conscience that’s hard for them to ignore. Also, they don’t go in for grudges and revenge like some of the other types do.

Of course, that’s not the only reason why I disagree with your assessment of Kylo Ren.

I don’t think that INFPs are as surprising as you give them credit for. My brother is an ISFP, and his reactions can be difficult to predict like how you described. His personality is known for that. They are very sensitive and tend to cling to past wrongs. His is the closest personality to Kylo Ren’s that I am familiar with (not the evil part), but I think Kylo is a J rather than a P.

Both my sister and I spend a lot of time (too much time) studying MBTI, and we both agree with ISFJ as being the closest to Kylo’s personality.

I think too if you consider Kylo and Luke’s characters side by side the differences become more obvious.

I’m not looking for a debate (even though I’m an ENTP I prefer in-person debate to online), but free to disagree with me or offer a counter-argument if you have one. 🙂
