American Horror Story 1984: Donna Chambers - Type 5w4
Donna is intelligent, inquisitive and introspective. Donna has a strong desire to understand why people act the way they do and why people become ‘evil.’
At her best, Donna is seeking knowledge for the right reasons as she wants to make the world a better place. Donna is also very helpful towards Brooke because she wants to make it right with her.
At her worst, Donna becomes singularly focused on her quest for knowledge, leading to her acting erratically. Donna doesn’t care about the consequences of her actions, or if her experiment is unethical.
Donna’s main motivation is to understand why people become serial killers. This stems from her past as Donna found out her father was a serial killer, and she couldn’t understand what would drive someone to this. Prior to the beginning of the series, Donna was completing a PhD in serial killers and had talked to many prolific serial killers. She decides to take her experiment to the next level and observe a serial killer in their natural environment. So, she decides to break Jingles out of prison and bring him back to Camp Redwood.
Donna has no problem compromising her personal ethics and morals for the sake of knowledge. For example, Donna kidnaps Nurse Rita and assumes her identity so she can better examine Jingles in the environment of Camp Redwood. Donna also drugs and ties up Brooke, so her experiment can continue. This can occur in unhealthy 5s as they become obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and stop caring about others.
Donna shows her wing 4 as she is more abstract and creative than a wing 6 would be. She is also less people-oriented and more introverted than a 5w6 would be.
Tri-type: 5w4 - 4w5 - 1w9
