Robert Pattinson is an absolute super-star. He’s appeared in action-thrillers, comedies, dramas, and more, and the world around loves him and his works.
Still, Pattinson is no recluse. Instead, he is both quick and adamant about keeping his private life as private as possible.
Robert has friends and family who are not shy to fame themselves, but as such still prefers to enjoy his life as much as possible with those who directly make up part of it.
Robert Pattinson can be best characterized by the INFP personality type on the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator due to his proclivity for introversion, emotional attention, and passion.

“I,” in this case, is significant for its reference to the tendency for introversion, and being more self-kept, or being content effectively when independent.
The intuition is represented by “N,” a style of learning. People in this category prefer larger concepts and abstractions to their learning as their first approach, rather than step-by-step methods.
“F” is for how decisions tend to be made. F is characterized by a predominant desire to think about the feelings others and oneself may have by an action, used as a guide to then make a decision
Lastly, “P” refers to perceiving, or by how personal organization tends to flow or be prioritized. This is characterized more by free decision making than a typical commitment to planning list-keeping.
