How is professor x a moralist, a perfectionist, and a reformer?

Professor Charles Xavier, a founder and sometimes leader of the X-Men, aims to mediate the co-existence between mutants and humans and to promote a peaceful collaboration and integration between them.

1+5: The Rational
Pairing that is the most focused on accuracy and scientific methods of reasoning. Most cerebral combination.

Not easily satisfied with the superficial answers; knows what and how to search for them. Usually very focused mind that can home in on what to extract from books and sources of information.

The 5 fix helps the core 1 to withhold judgment before complete exhaustivity and having a more objective outlook on a subject.

The 1 fix helps the core 5 weighing which information is worthful or not and become more structured in its analysis.

The 16 MBTI® Types – INTJ

Quickly see patterns in external events and develop long-range explanatory perspectives.

Introduction to Type® by Isabel Briggs Myers

For this reason, there is however a manipulative streak of events that resulted in several fallouts amongst the mutants.

“What did you do to her, Charles?”- Raven
“I saved her.”- Professor Xavier

“Get out of my head.”- Jean to Professor Xavier

INTJ: Introverted Intuition Supported by Thinking

They would do well to make an effort to use their critical faculty on their impersonal problems and on themselves and to work for some development of appreciation (they need not call it feeling) to use on others.

Gifts Differing, The Myers & Briggs Foundation

Tritype® 135-The Technical Expert

You like seeing interconnections from an unbiased perspective that can at times come across as technical and impersonal.

Katherine Chernick Fauvre

His darkest side consists of The Xavier Protocols. This includes Professor X creating a set of doomsday plans.

INTJs are not interested in simply solving a problem. They’re interested in how that solution can lead to solving many problems.

INTJ-The Conceptual Planner, MBTIonline.com

Te: Extraverted Thinking (Systematizing) Making decisions using logical, objective criteria to structure the external world in the most efficient way to achieve the end goal. The output can appear as a structured plan.

The protocols detail the best way to kill many powerful mutant characters, including the X-Men and Xavier himself, should they become too large of a danger.

You are very precise and good with exacting details that others find difficult to manage.

“Mutants shouldn’t be divided. But we didn’t draw the line, Magneto did, and it’s still there.”
―Charles Xavier

How is “Professor X” INTJ-135-The Technical Expert

Words that describe best people with INTJ preferences:

“Leader”, “harmony minded”, “strategic”, “visionary”, “determined” and “purposeful [..] The Myers-Briggs Company, MBTIonline.com

Unlike Doctor Strange who is INTJ 588, “Professor X” is INTJ 135-The Technical Expert. As seen before, he is a Moralist, Perfectionist, Reformer, and Crusader (Type 1), an achiever (Type 3), and an investigator (Type 5).

Both actors in the films are clear Te users. James McAvoy is ENFP or INTJ and Patrick Stewart is ENTJ or INTJ.

NFJs are more focused on the vibe than other’s thoughts and ideas (Magneto is ENTJ, Jean Grey is INFJ and Mystique is ENFJ.)

★ INTJs can often be seen in leadership positions and this is no stranger to Professor X who eventually forms and leads a mutant strike force known as the X-Men, dedicated to carrying out his initiative for a peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans, the latter of whom express significant phobia towards them.

★ He perfectly fits the description of INTJs at their best:

People with INTJ preferences tend to be seen as masterminds. They’re incredibly driven to put their ideas into action, often quickly organizing people and resources to reach their goals. They’re generally well-known for their long-range visions of the future.

strategic and a great chess player

INTJs at their best seem to read the thoughts of people and Charles Xavier also wins here at chess against Magneto:

Xavier is a mutant activist and founder of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, intended to house displaced or discriminated mutants while acting as an educational and training ground for cultivating their powers.

Using the Cerebro he finds ways to break down and understand complex situations and can precisely locate mutants. He is a visionary and his Extraverted Thinking is off the roof as an investigator (Type 5)!

Extraverted Thinking: Seeks logic and consistency in the outside world. Concern for external laws and rules.

The Eight Function Attitudes, MBTIonline

★ Clear Introversion (I) as he is Energised by thoughts and by taking in experiences and NOT Extraversion (E) Energised by interacting with others & from taking action, BAPT UK

INTJs, esp. young ones, can look like NFPs (ie. Dario Nardi, INTJ) so the choice of the actor (James McAvoy) who could be INTJ.

★ Te Auxiliary:

He cares about reading the other’s thoughts and ideas, not their feelings.

Extraverted Thinking: Seeks logic and consistency in the outside world. Concern for external laws and rules.

Official definition, The Myers & Briggs Foundation

comparing ENTJ’s inferior fi and intj tertiary fi

★ Inferior Fi (Magneto, ENTJ) vs. Tertiary Fi (Professor X, INTJ):

Magneto is OK to kiss Mystique in her original form: He is inferior Fi while Professor Charles Xavier would not. Xavier cares more about how he feels (Xavier has tertiary Fi, Fe blind spot, INTJ)

! Inferior Fi (Magneto):

[..] In the inferior position – prior to maturation – Fi manifests as a reluctance to show or even feel vulnerability. The Te-user may refuse to disclose their feelings to others, and may even refuse to recognize them within themselves.

https://j.mp/3gu0Ph8
Thought Catalog, Heidi Priebe

! Tertiary Fi (Professor X):

As a tertiary function, Fi manifests as strong, unwavering set of morals and values which the user draws upon to dictate many of their major decisions.
The tertiary Fi monologue: “I must adhere to my values and morals at all costs – even if doing so is unpleasant.”
