Mountain MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Mountain? Mountain is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sp/sx - 582 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, EII in Socionics.
Mountains are the unification or synthesis of two or more distinct entities. Tectonic plates collide and they do not preserve their individual qualities, but merge them together. Their positions, compositions, materials and forces add up to a singular structure that slowly, but relentlessly grows toward the sky, the region of God. Despite this, however, mountains as fully formed beings do not advocate collectivism and sharing. The experience they provide is one of complete solitude. Observing the landscape from a bird’s eye view, where the details blur away and the big picture gets highlighted. Even when you’re surrounded by people you feel alone, yet whole and eager to explore the deepest layers of your being. There is something captivating in it, which I find to be indescribable: you have to be there to know what it’s like. But this is not all. The caves embedded in the mountains are sacred places of enlightenment, ascension and renewal in multiple cultures. The waters that feed the rivers and the plants in the valley start from mountains. The colors you see on mountains -black rock and white snow- aren’t really colors, but the representation of the Yin-Yang. White is the sum of all colors of light and black absorbs every color on the spectrum. Both are all of them and none of them at the same time, but in different, equally necessary ways. The freezing cold you feel up there crystallizes your essence. Your otherwise invisible breath becomes clearly observable. Cold strips every distracting sense of comfort and nonsense coming from warmth and only what’s really important remains. When you’re cold, you’re truly alive and connected to something primordial, something elemental hidden inside you. And thus you breathe and you’re reborn. A mountain is a place to evolve and transform spiritually. But be careful. Where there are the highest peaks, are also gaping pits. And it’s not so easy to determine whether you’re climbing or falling. [The style was inspired by @[Daffodil]]
Biography
This highest of all places translates, in human terms, into the land of greatness. This is where the strong go to prove themselves—usually through seclusion, meditation, a lack of comfort, and direct confrontation with nature in the extreme. The mountaintop is the world of the natural philosopher, the great thinker who must understand the forces of nature so he can live with them and sometimes control them. Structurally, the mountain, the high place, is most associated with the reveal. Revelations in stories are moments of discovery, and they are the keys to turning the plot and kicking it to a "higher," more intense level. Again, the mountain setting makes a one-to-one connection between space and person, in this case, height and insight. This one-to-one connection of space to person is found in the negative expression of the mountain as well. It is often depicted as the site of hierarchy, privilege, and tyranny, typically of an aristocrat who lords it over the common people down below. The mountain is usually set in opposition to the plain. The mountain and the plain are the only two major natural settings that visually stand in contrast to one another, so storytellers often use the comparative- method to highlight the essential and opposing qualities of each. The mountain world is important in the Moses story, Greek myths of the gods on Mount Olympus, many fairytales, The Magic Mountain, Lost Horizon, Brokeback Mountain, Batman Begins, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, A farewell to Arms, The Deer Hunter, Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves, Shane, The Shining, and a number of other horror stories.
