The use of agents familiar with the new government structures was one of the urgent needs of the Pahlavi regime. One of the agents who played an important role in the structural changes at this time was Ali Akbar Davar. The 15years of Davar's attempts at the formation and continuation of the Pahlavi government were not happy ending of him at all. The claim of this research is that the suicide of Davar is based on his relationship with Reza Shah. Since methodological research has not been carried out in explaining suicide of Davar and his relations with Reza Shah, This research seeks to do this for the first time, utilizing the personality typing model.The relationship between Reza Shah and Davar in the long run was based on both the mutual needs and the personality traits of both. While Reza Shah needed specialist Davar skills and Davar needed a strong supporter, they confirmed each other; however, the nature of Pahlavi's personality became more evident after using Davar's managerial skills at the time of the Ministry of Justice. Reza Shah, who, unlike Davar, was considered “Sensor" and "Judger" typologically. He was more interested in objective propositions and immediate results which disrupted Davar for not having succeeded in his economic projects during the post of Ministry of Finance. Unlike Reza Shah, Davar who was "intuitive" and believed in long-term plans for solving economic problems, was unable to resist Shah's constant pressure and ultimately suicided.
