Type Scrooge

[MerkW]

It is Christmas eve, after all.
I'm curious. What type do you think Ebenezer Scrooge is? I've heard 5w6 or 6w5 for the enneagram, but what of his MBTI type?

 

[MerkW]

No contenders yet? What a pity.

Anyone?

This would be an example of how much you don't have to do this season and how much you underestimate others have to do...

I think Dicken's interpretation of Scrooge is an ISTJ 1w9. Enneagram 1's can seem like Enneagram 5's on the surface, but as persons of action rather than thought, the 1's tend to be more practical.

But some modern interpretations differ. For example, Bill Murray's interpretation of the character in Scrooged is an ENTJ.

I always assumed ESTJ... inferior Fi seemed to be the source of those "ghosts."

I hate to say it, seeing as how I am related to two of them, but ISTJ seems like his type, although Scrooge is a completely messed-up one.
(I am very interested right now in things that interfere with type development.)
Okay, so was Alice, E.S.'s betrothed, an ISFJ? It seems likely to me.

Oh, and what about Tiny Tim? He has always made me sick to even think about, but...I have a feeling he is an INFJ.

An early foreclosed upon and poorly developed ISTJ.

 

[Kiddo]

I would say an ENFP with his shadow self on. You see how much he turns into a selfless cheerleader in the end?

 

[The Grey Badger]

Depression-Era survivor (yes, there was a depression in his youth) ISTJ.

I always liked Scrooge, I thought he was just misunderstood. He's probably an ISTJ 6w5.
