Jane Goodall MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Jane Goodall? Jane Goodall is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sx/so - 529 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.

I don‘t think she is an ISFP. She constantly talks about her vision she had as a child of going to Africa, life with wild animals and writing books about them. This guided her throughout her life and in the beginning she admitted to have struggled with realizing, since she was a young inexperienced girl and more of a dreamer than someone with practical knowledge. (Ni>Se) In her interviews in the Series „About Beauty and Consolation“ she also shows a very philosophical nature, looking at the big picture and noticing that everyone has a role to play in helping to prevent environmental disaster. She describes nature as a big pattern of many unique parts and the way they all are interconnected. This holistic approach indicates strong big picture thinking and likely well devloped Ni. She also tells that she often has gut instincts about what others are feeling or thinking in a moment and seems very perceptive. She is likely a Fe user, since she tries to convince people not trough arguing, but through reaching the heart , as she describes it. For this she things she needs storytelling and getting everyone involved in a collective rather than focusing solely on individual progress. Her values seem to be about people coming Ne together and sharing perspectives, and she seems to be less confrontative like a Fi user, like Greta Thunberg for example. So I believe INFJ makes the most sense. She also has greatly developed Ti and is good at analyzing thing son her own and working with scientific methods. No matter her type she is so fascinating, kind and wise. I learned very much from her and her wisdom. I think everyone should know her story and was she has to say, since her message is so important. She is such a beautiful human being.
