The Originals: Lucien Castle: INTJ 3w4
Myers Briggs: INTJ
Ni: Lucien is primarily focused on the future and bringing about the end of the Mikaelsons. He spends a thousand years planning his revenge against the Mikaelsons, and thinks every part of his plan through. He is intuitive about people and quick to guess what they’re thinking or what they’ll do next. Everything he does is to accomplish his Ni vision- he wins Klaus’s trust by saving his life, only to later betray him, and manipulates those around him to achieve his greater goal.
Te: Lucien takes steps to accomplish his Ni driven goals and is very efficient. He is quick to point out flaws in other’s logic and becomes frustrated with ineffiency. He has strong willpower and knows how to make his vision come to fruition. He is logical and makes decisions based on efficiency and his own goals. He is blunt and to the point, not sugarcoating his words unless he wants something from someone.
Fi: Lucien cares about few, specifically Aurora. He defends her after Klaus breaks up with her, naiively believing she loves him despite her indifference. He hates Klaus and his family for Elijah’s compulsion and for feeling superior to him. He hides these feelings until he has the opportunity for revenge. He keeps his emotions inside until he has the opportunity to act on them.
Se: Lucien has a taste for the finer things in life and frequently parties. He has no problem acting on his plans once he’s thought them through, but prefers to plan before rushing into action. He is not impulsive like Klaus, an ENTJ, but thinks things through and often cautions Klaus to show restraint, which is why INTJ seems more likely than ENTJ. He is also primarily motivated by his Ni vision, and efficiency is secondary to that for him, whereas Klaus’s primary focus is on efficiency and getting things done, cutting corners to get there faster even if it means acting more impulsively sometimes.
Enneagram: 3w4
Lucien strives to be the best, and finds his sense of worth in having earned money. Deep down he feels inferior over having been born to a lower class, but overcompensates for these feelings by acquiring power both socially and by becoming more powerful than the Mikaelsons. Lucien is charming but all of his goals are based on his personal feelings related to being mistreated for being different to the upper class people he served. He felt disadvantaged and insecure about his social status, embarrassed by feelings of failure and weakness. He wants to achieve things so he can prove to others that not only is he as worthful and as capable as them, but that he can do even better.
Temperament: Choleric Sanguine
Lucien is a results driven person. He is the CEO of a company and has a natural ability for leadership. He is frustrated with inefficiency and is extremely pragmatic. (Choleric) He is also charismatic and sociable, which can make him seem like an ENTJ instead of an INTJ. He likes to charm people, especially to get what he wants, and he is very much fun- loving and enjoys letting loose. (Sanguine)
Going forward on this blog I would like to answer questions related to personality systems. Anyone is welcome to submit any questions regarding this topic and I will answer them. I will also begin posting explanations of various topics such as the cognitive functions, enneagram motivations, instinctual variants, and other things in various systems, in addition to typing fictional characters. I will also be typing some celebrities at some point. Requests of characters for me to type are also welcome. I also have a new blog focusing exclusively on attitudinal psyche for those of you who are interested. (attitudinalpsyche Attitudinal Psyche Explained is the blog) Also, I am not certain how much I will be posting since this is my first semester of college back on campus, but I will try to post a few times a month.
