Types and their sins and virtues

[Tamske]

This came up in the "MBTI of fictional characters" thread, after I tried to typecast the deadly sins. I want to do the opposite now: take a type and name the perfect sin for him of her. While we're at it, we can try virtues too.

Edit: trying to do the thing!

ESTJ sin: controlling?
ESTP sin: greedy, shallow?
ESFJ
ESFP

ENTJ
ENTP: sin: unrealistic sloth (getting enthousiastic at any idea, telling everybody you're going to organise this or that and then not doing it)
ENFJ
ENFP

ISTJ
ISTP
ISFJ
ISFP

INTJ
INTP
INFJ sin: envy
INFP

Hmmm. I really need to buy food now. I've got this INFJ envy from the other tread; and ENTP was easy enough

If you hold with the notion that there is a correlation between type systems, you might look to Riso & Hudson's "Understanding the Enneagram" which lists vices/virtues for each of the 9 types, then match those between the E-types and the MBTI types. For example, envy is the vice of type 4...

ISTJs don't have any sins.

 

[Oaky]

ISTJs: Denial

 

[Phantonym]

ISTJs don't have any sins.

And this statement would give you the sin - pride.

Actually, I didn't think of just those deadly sins of the Christians...
We can imagine more sins than that, can't we? I was aiming for sixteen different sins!

...Okay, maybe that was too ambitious an idea. I'm saying my act of repentance now.

INTJ:
Pride

at least for me :]
