mbti/enneagram typing for 🎀 anon

enneagram - 127 1w9 2w3 7w6

let's start with your first question: your biggest fear. the part about not wanting to be isolated or abandoned definitely gives e9. you also describe how you don't feel that you are very driven, but you also oftentimes feel "empty," which is usually how e9's feel about themselves and their emotions. enneagram 9 is pretty notorious for feeling that they are detached from themselves. however, i don't think this is the core of your type (more of a wing to your 1), since it's not really that basis of your answers.

now, onto your core type. at worst, you find yourself lonely, fragile and intense - all of which are emblematic of an e1 disintegrating into an e4. even the part about being "kind of a bad person" shows how your e1 shines even when you display unhealthy e4 traits. something that really solidified your e1 for me was how you said that even when you feel angry, there's a part of you that thinks you don't really deserve to - which is very much how an e1 might find themselves internalizing their anger. from what you describe, anger isn't something outward to you. it's not that you struggle with expressing it (as a 9 would), but more that you feel it internally but choose not to express it. if you do, you might feel shame or even regret afterwards, which could be a way an e1 internalizes this emotion.

onto the head triad - you seem to want to be satisfied with yourself and life, something you value to an extent. this def indicates to me that on top of being a 1w9, you have a 7 fix. not as strong - but present enough to explain why you aren't fully focused on security or gaining resources.

then, "to love and be loved strongly," definitely screams e2. even how you say that you hate having the "bad" side of you shown to others is likely why you have a 3w2 to in your tritype. some of your answers about your relationships to other and your emotions can be attributed to this type, which is why i placed it higher than e7.

mbti ?? (isfp, isfj, infp - possibilities)

since it was a short questionnaire, it was hard for me to infer things about your mbti, but i tried my best to narrow them down. from your adjectives (humanitarian ideas, philosophical things, brainstorming, making up things), you are mostly likely high in intuitive and feeling functions.

through solving problems you say you like to "talk it out" through "metaphors, similes" and etc etc. this is definitely indicative of a higher intuition, most likely ni-se. imo metaphors are more of ne-si and similes are ni-se. what solidified ni>ne for me was how you describe that uncertainly unsettles you, which is often uncharacteristic of an entp or enfp.

the part about preferring when your memories get richer and experiencing nostalgia don't necessarily conflict with having ni. in fact, they probably are more connected to your feeling function, which might be the true motivation of these feelings. from how i interpret this, you like the feeling of nostalgia, and how it adds meaning, which is more a combination intuition and feeling (and maybe enneagram) rather than full on si.

finally, onto your feeling function, the part about feeling as if you have no moral compass but still disliking when your ideas are questioned seem to be fi. it's hard to find where exactly it would be placed, but it's up there on your stack. imo, your fi>ni, which is why if i were to type you, it would be either an isfp. if my analysis on your sensing or intuition functions was pretty limited, then i would say it could alternatively be an isfj or even infp.

EASIEST OC PERSONALITY TRACKING TRICK I'VE EVER FOUND!

What are some questions we often ask about our OCs? I mean the real hard ones, like their motivations, fears, and desires. These are all things that we want our character to stick to for the sake of realistic and relatable character development.

So what is an easy and consistent way to make our characters as realistic as possible? Personality types!! I'm not talking the MBTI though, I'm talking the enneagram.

Why the enneagram? Well lets start with what it is. The enneagram is a personality type system that explains things like: Core motivations and desires; life struggles; biggest fears; and helps us writers create consistent, relatable, and fun characters. All of this without the struggles of worrying about making sure our OC's actions and thoughts are in line with their personality and the path we've chosen for them.

This also makes keeping shared NPCs in character as there is less change in their behaviors, motivations, and patterns.

My top resources for the enneagram are down below feel free to check them out!

Note: This list is a work in progress I will update with more at a later date.

Psychoanalyzing Mat Baynton’s Characters (Enneagram Types)

Right so I know probably no one cares about this, but I used to be super into enneagram types and I wanted to try typing the baynton boys :D I’m not an enneagram expert and honestly I mostly know about my type, so please don’t kill me if they are inaccurate. Also, I’ll add the others when I watch those shows if anyone is interested! 

And if anyone is curious, my type is 7w8 sx/so :)

Disclaimer: This is just my opinion, and enneagram types are not the end all be all of a person’s personality, which is incredibly complex. Most people have aspects of every personality type, which is why your type is referred to as your core type, not your “only” type. :)

Note on Sx Subtype: I would just like to clarify because I’m not sure how many people who know about enneagram are reading this, the sexual instinct doesn’t have to do with literal sex. It’s also called the one-to-one subtype, and there are plenty of aromantic and asexual people that are sx-doms, because it has nothing to do with sex/sex drive. Instincts/subtypes are thought to be a result of our animal genetics, and therefore are based on what you feel like you need to survive or prioritize in order to have fulfillment. Eg. sx(sexual): needs to have an intense bond with a person; so(social): needs to have a group of people/societal recognition/a community; sp(self-preservation): needs to be able to survive on their own, concerned with safety/comfort/stability, as well as the health of their physical body.

Chris Pitt-Goddard - Type 7w8 sx/sp

Core Fear: Of being deprived and in pain

Core Desire: To be satisfied and content

MY MAN is the most stereotypical 7 I’ve ever seen(and I’m saying that as someone who is also a type 7). Though Chris is very loyal to his friends and is there for them, I’m typing him as a 7w8 since he doesn’t really seem to care about stability or security. He pretty much does or says whatever he wants in the moment, which I think is a more 7w8 mentality. A 7w6 would think about more about the possibility of danger or how it would affect the people around them, due to the influence of the 6. I think we can also see Chris integrate to 5 when he helps Tim with the court case, as he was extremely focused and determined and learned everything he could in order to help him.

I think Chris is a sx/sp with a social blind spot. Though again, Chris does care a lot about his friends, I feel like we don’t see much of the social 7 in him in terms of being self sacrificial and a people pleaser. He tends to just do whatever he wants and doesn’t really ask people for their opinion. Sexual/one-to-one as his dominant subtype definitely makes sense, when we see him with Bernie he’s completely infatuated with her(and maybe I’m just projecting, but as an sx 7 I can relate to Chris in terms of being super independent and all “i don’t need no man/woman” but then becoming the biggest simp when I get into a relationship). The self preservation secondary might be a hot take/I might be completely wrong because I’m 99% sure I’m self-pres blind, but from what I understand self-pres 7s tend to create a support system/safety net around them to fall back on. I think we can see this with Chris’s original job working at the computer shop, and his friendship with Tim. The social blind is evident just in that he doesn’t really seem to care much about the world around him/social recognition, he’s more concerned with doing what he wants for himself. A social dom/secondary would be more concerned with whether other people like them or not, which Chris doesn’t really seem to care about at all.

Ariel Conroy - Type 2w3 sx/sp

Core Fear: Of being unloveable and unwanted

Core Desire: To be loved

Maybe some will consider this a hot take, but I think Ariel being a type 2 is obvious. He has heavy integration towards 8 and 4, he’s just incredibly unhealthy. When unhealthy, Type 2s become obsessive and possessive, and they can feel entitled to other people’s love/gratitude(such as when he was lecturing Rhonda about how she should be more grateful for him saving her). We can see all of this in his relationship with Hawkwind, since he literally stalks her, and his entire pursuit of Jamie all has to do with him feeling like his mother didn’t love him and it made him feel inadequate/unworthy. His 3 wing is evident with his desire for success/wealth and even though he is more private, he still craves recognition as seen with his White Horse identity. His obsession with Jamie also makes sense with him being a type 2w3, as he feels like Jamie’s existence is a personal attack against him and his presence triggers his core fear.

Ariel’s subtype is probably sx/sp, with a social blind spot. I almost typed him as an sp/sx, but I think Ariel’s ultimate desire is to have someone. I think that due to Hawkwind’s absence his sp has developed more, to the point where they are very close in terms of effect on his personality. The sexual instinct is often described as a desire for “merging” with another person, and I think Ariel wants that kind of intense devotion from someone and will also reciprocate it. Sx/sp’s also tend to be extremely jealous and intense people. I also read something about Sx/sp that their secondary instinct is used as a means to an end to fulfill their primary instinct, which I think is clear in Ariel. Since sp is all about vitality, physical health, attractiveness etc, he would use this to his advantage to lure the object of his affections and portray an image of what he thinks they want. A good example of this would be when he kidnapped Frankie, I think he was being somewhat nice to her because he wanted Hawkwind to love him, but otherwise probably wouldn’t have put any effort into talking to her.

Though Ariel does seem to crave recognition from his White Horse persona, I think that’s more due to his 3 wing as opposed to having a social instinct. Ariel is very single minded and doesn’t seem to have any friends nor care about maintaining connections or social status, which we can see when he killed his Deus Ex partner without remorse and basically anytime he talks to another human being that isn’t Hawkwind. Some other good examples of this are when he kicks Rhonda out of the car after finding out she’s useless, and how he treated Sutton(sp secondary also with Sutton, when he asks her for money it’s to fulfill that instinct).

Jamie Winton - Type 6w7 sp/sx

Core Fear: Being without support or guidance

Core Desire: To have security and support

Honestly I struggled a bit between 1 and 6 for Jamie, but after considering instincts I realized he’s a 6(more on that later). Type 6 is notoriously hard to type, due to there being counter-phobic 6s and phobic 6s, but Jamie seems like a phobic 6. I think we see him shift a little bit towards towards the end of the show, especially as he gains more confidence in himself, which is something that a lot of 6s struggle with due to their constant anxiety and fear of things going wrong. Type 6 is known as the Loyalist and I mean… he was still in love with Layla, made videos for her everyday for 7 years, despite the fact that they barely spent anytime married together. If that’s not peak loyalty I don’t know what is! He’s very concerned with security and stability, and phobic 6s tend to place a lot of faith into rules/societal norms, which I think we can see in that scene in Ep. 1 where he is talking to Dave(type 7) in the kitchen about his career and paying the rent. 

Speaking of Dave, 7s and 6s do tend to get along quite well due to both being in the fear/anxiety triad, but I find it fascinating to see how that plays out in their relationship. I think if anyone is struggling between 7w8 or 7w6, or 7w6 and 6w7, watching the two of them together and seeing which one you relate to more would be a good differentiator.

Onto his 7 wing. I think at first Jamie doesn’t seem like a 7 wing, but I think this is because he’s more introverted. I think he could have/be very close to having balanced wings. I don’t see him as a 6w5 because he doesn’t seem to struggle with feeling like he’s incompetent as often, which is the core fear of a type 5. We see that Jamie does have a desire for spontaneity, which is from his 7 wing, but being a core 6 he is able to reign it in and keep it controlled for the most part. I think some good examples off the top of my head of when it comes out are when he decides to go looking for Layla, when he lets Dave stand on the car(he almost didn’t, but he still did), and when he stands up during Layla’s case and offers to pay for her fine. Type 7s are also described as having intense FOMO, which reminds me of that scene when he’s talking to Layla about how he wishes he could’ve gotten to know Frankie sooner because he missed out on all those years. He could also originally have been a 6w5, but due to being friends with Dave he brings that 7 side of him out more.

Our only non sx-dom on this list! Maybe I’m biased on these because I’m a sx-dom haha. So, Jamie is very clearly an sp-first person, because he’s very concerned with safety, his environment, career, etc. Maybe sx-secondary will be a hot take, because I really went back and forth between so and sx as his secondary. However, I really don’t think a so-secondary/sx-blind would’ve still been in love with Layla and holding out hope for her after 7 years, and then welcome her back into their life as quickly as he did. Sp/sx 6’s also tend to look very One-ish, which makes sense in terms of why he can seem more like a 1 at times. Sp/sx’s are very concerned with their loved ones and their opinions of them, and their focus on security is shifted to the people closest to them. In episode 1, we see that Jamie is  just going with the motions, living his life, because it’s safe and secure. However, once the apocalypse happens, his priorities shift to finding Layla, fueled by his secondary instinct. The sx-secondary also gives Jamie a bit more confidence than a so-secondary would have, as sp/so 6’s tend to be the most anxious of the 6’s. I think when the apocalypse happened, an sp/so would be much more worried about what this means for the world/his friends and family, as opposed to Jamie with his sx energy being like “im going to find layla no matter what”. :)

Thomas Thorne - Type 4w5 sx/so

Core Fear: That they have no identity/personal significance

Core Desire: To find themselves and their significance

Thomas is the most stereotypical 4 I have ever seen in my life! I think Thomas is a 4w5, because he’s more concerned with poetry because he loves/has an appreciation for it, as opposed to because he wants to become hugely successful off of it. He does still care about success/recognition, but not as much as a 4w3 would. Type 4’s are very concerned with what makes them who they are, and when they feel like they’ve discovered what that is they tend to become very attached to it. This is clearly shown with his poetry, as he’s constantly trying to write poems or make things sound poetic, because on some level he feels like if he doesn’t he won’t be “him” anymore(A good example of this is that scene where he’s sitting with Alison after they were camping, and what he said out of nowhere was very poetic and then he started trying too hard and she was like yeah no). Type 4s are also very introspective and tend to be extremely empathetic and understanding of other people’s emotions. Due to this though, they can sometimes come across as being a bit dramatic.

Onto his subtypes. Sx-dom is obvious, Thomas loves women and falls in love quickly, and his infatuation with Alison also points to sx-dom. I will debate on anyone else’s instinct stack except Thomas! “Divorce him, kill yourself, marry me” is such a stereotypical sx-dom thing to say, like I said before sx-dom is often described as a desire to “merge” with another person(Also idk why I thought of this for Thomas, but a good example of this “merging” idea would be with Morticia and Gomez from the Addams Family. Both of them are sx-doms!). As for his social-secondary, Thomas is very concerned with other people’s opinions of him, and he has a desire to be recognized/appreciated for his poetry. Sp-blind is obvious in regards to his death, he had no hesitation when defending the girl he loved and sacrificing his life for it. Even while he was dying, the first thing he asked was for his cousin to get Isabelle so he could say goodbye to her.

Sam Pinkett - Type 9w1 sx/sp

Core Fear: Loss and separation

Core Desire: To have inner stability/peace of mind

Sad times Sam Pinkett is a type 9, which is the hardest type to explain because it is so complex. Unfortunately Sam is very very much a 9, so I will do my best! So type 9s are known for being the all-rounders of the enneagram, in that they tend to have qualities of all the other enneagram types. Of course, all of us do no matter our type, but for type 9s this is the most prevalent. This is mainly due to the 9’s tendency to be self-dissolving, and as such they tend to accumulate aspects of all the other types as they go throughout life.

So, there are multiple reasons why Sam Pinkett is a 9w1. The first thing that clued me on in this is him saying he wants Lizzie to make all of his decisions for him, as 9s tend to be very indecisive and struggle with making decisions. 9s are very much known for responding with “you pick” when you ask them where they want to go/what they want to do. 9w1s, as opposed to 9w8s, also tend to be a bit more complacent and less confrontational which can be seen in Sam’s tendency to just “go with the flow” and kind of do what he thinks is expected of him, and he very much wants this kind of dynamic with Lizzie. Unfortunately 9s have a bit of a reputation for being a bit lazy, and this is mainly due to them being very risk-averse. I think we can see a lot of this in Sam’s hesitancy to leave his job even though it’s extremely clear he doesn’t really care about it. Another example of his slothfullness(is that even a word? idk) is when at some point during the show(I forgot when) he tells Lizzie he just wants her to tell him what she wants and he’ll do it so they can be together again. 

The 1 wing adds a lot of morality to Sam’s character, and he is very concerned with doing the right thing, which is literally the entire plot of the show so I don’t think I need to explain that haha. Another example of this is when he first becomes friends with Phil, which (according to the s1 finale) he did because he “felt bad for him”. His entire display of anger during that scene is actually very 9 behavior as well, as 9s tend to have outbursts like that once their anger has boiled past the breaking point(this is bc 9s are in the anger triad, and their fixation is being out of touch with their anger. 9s are the type of people to say “I never get angry!” bc they are very concerned with being peaceful/nice, and then emotionally blast you to pieces lmao).

Onto his instincts. I think Sam being sx-dom is pretty clear, his fixation on Lizzie and desire for her to make all of his decisions is very sx-like to me. I haven’t talked about this in previous typings of the Baynton boys, but a lot of times with the sx subtype there is a distinction between an sx who wants to initiate the merging, and the sx who wants to be merged. I think Sam is definitely the type that wants to be merged with, and that’s why a lot of people see him as being a sub(valid). I think the self-dissolving aspect of the 9 comes into a lot of play with this as well, as Sam seems to be very focused on doing what Lizzie wants/expects of him as opposed to considering or thinking about his own wants and needs. Sx subtype also tends to add a dreamer-like quality to a type, and being that type 9 is quite known for being very daydreamer-y I think it makes a lot of sense for Sam. In the second season he talks about how he always planned on going to London and doing something with his life but never did, and I think this illustrates his daydreaming side + lack of taking action quite well. Sp for Sam is second because he doesn’t seem much concerned with societal recognition or friend groups, he actually seems to be quite lonely, and even in scenes when we’ve seen him with people he used to be friends with there is this sense of separation that is very characteristic of the sx/sp. He also seems pretty concerned with doing what he wants/living his best life, even though he doesn’t take action towards it in the beginning of the show, this fixation on it is characteristic of a character with an sp focus. When these two instincts come together, you see a person who is very drawn to intense/close relationships such as his relationship with Lizzie and his friendship with Phil, but a seeming inability and/or lack of desire to maintain fringe friendships with people.

Personally I fricking LOVE type 9s so I’m going to write a whole goddamn essay about Sam Pinkett apparently. I think the beautiful thing about The Wrong Mans as a tv show is that we see Sam go from a typical unhealthy/asleep 9 in the beginning, to a healthy type 9. We see a lot of instances of his 6 stress coming out when he becomes concerned with losing the stability Lizzie provided for him, but throughout season 1 and season 2 we see IMMENSE growth towards 3, which I love for him so much!! 9s go to 3 when they stop falling asleep towards themselves and begin to move/pursue something that they care deeply about, which again I don’t think I need to explain for Sam if you’ve watched the show haha. I think its great and honestly I think Sam is one of the best 9w1s I’ve seen represented in media, and I think it’s amazing how clearly you can see him move through growth as the show progresses. And that’s it that’s my Sam essay, hope you liked it. :)

Thanks for reading to the end! Again, please don’t take this seriously it’s just for fun!! :)

A Sivoir Snyle Type Assignment Post: character analysis

Whew, I haven't posted in a fuckin while, but I was having some thoughts just now, about one of my absolute favourite characters, and I decided it'd be a good idea to bless you with my annoying ass analytical brain over minor villains~

Anyways, today I'll do Sivs, typing him with a mbti and an Enneagram type, sit back and enjoy

Sivoir's mbti type:

First of all, a brief personality description: He is very methodical and precise. He takes pride of his skills and doesn't hesitate to analyse and show them off, as he is so sure his opponent won't catch up with them. Despite that, he doesn't beat himself up about his mistakes, instead he prioritizes his safety and tries to plan an escape from danger. At the end he reaches a point where he cries out that he never gets hurt in battles, and wails in physical and mental pain.

His egoism can be translated into Fi (introverted feeling). The way he decides to spill everything to Leopold as they fight is an irrational move and it costs him later on. Also, the way he eliminates the possiblity of loss and defeat in his head is a sign of Ni (introverted intuition). I could see him on a Fi-Ni (or Ni-Fi) loop (loop is when the dominant and the tertiary functions take over during a stressful situation), and that's probably what happened while he was fighting Leo. We conclude that introverted functions dominate his thoughts in the fighting scene. And we also conclude that Se and Te (extroverted sensing and extroverted thinking) are also two of his functions. But the final type should be determined out of the exact order of these functions. The two types that mostly cross my mind are ISFP (Fi, Se, Ni, Te) and INTJ (Ni, Te, Fi, Se). In the following lines of his, we notice that he speaks a lot with the possibilities he has in his mind and justifies them with valid arguments.

This makes him a good analyst, but way too biased as well. Which makes me conclude that Ni is his dominant function with Te as the auxiliary. And thus I type him as INTJ.

His Enneagram type:

Sivoir is a great analyst that lives with an underlying fear for his safety. The enneagram types that express his personality the most are 6 and 5. Two types that take their measures to protect themselves from what they perceive as threats. Type 6's usually seek a shelter in someone stronger they can rely on, and we see that Sivoir sees Vanica as his patron. While the fact that he mentions her could also be seen as pride that he servers under her, it can also be interpreted as flattery, a way to keep her interested to protect him.

The way he flaunts his skills is a characteristic of the 5's though. Since it's hard to judge only from the types individually, we can see the ways these types relate to others.

The wings of type 6 are 7 and 5, and the wings of 5 are 6 and 4. 6 turns to 3 for disintegration (which disintegration we see during his battle), and 5 turns to 7 during disintegration.

And now to see the major differences these two types have with each other: type 5 is an introverted analyst that fears not knowing and exposing his emotions to others. The vice of 5 is greed (for more knowledge for example). Type 6 is an unstable person that fears and constantly needs a certainty. 6 has cowardice as the vice.

Sivoir fits the description of type 6 way more than he fits 5.

The results I give are, types INTJ and 6w5.

Bonus: Temperament type: Choleric

Thanks for coming to my informative ted talk

Until next time, Rin out

[brightly-returning]

Malcolm: The Individualist

Type 4s core desire is to create an identity for themselves. They often believe that no one is able to understand or love them adequately. They simultaneously believe they possess special one-of-a-kind talents while believing themselves to be uniquely flawed. While at healthy levels, they can be creative, introspective, intuitive, self-aware, and compassionate with others. At unhealthy levels, they become depressed, alienated from others, and tormented with self-contempt.

Martin: The Challenger

Type 8s core desire is to be in control of their own lives and destinies. They are found in positions of power, being independent and resistant to anyone having power over them. They are often charismatic and able to persuade others to follow them into endeavors. Healthy 8s are natural leaders – providers, protective, and honorable. Unhealthy 8s become highly egocentric, confrontational, and in extreme cases, develop Antisocial Personality Disorder.

This is part 1 of 4 of Enneagram typing Prodigal Son characters.

[imaybeahomicidalmaniac]

I’m really behind and so sorry. But I’m now Enneatyping Face. Face is a 3.

Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be—role models who inspire others. Basic Fear: Of being worthless. Basic Desire: To feel valuable and worthwhile. Key Motivations: Want to be affirmed, to distinguish themselves from others, to have attention, to be admired, and to impress others.

Pride and Prejudice and the Enneagram

The following is a list I made for no one in particular about what I think is the enneagram of each character in Pride and Prejudice. I am really curious what other people think however so please comment your ideas

Elizabeth- 7w6

I went back and forth about 20 times trying to decide what Elizabeth was and I’m not fully settled on my decision (I still think she might be a 4) but I’m going with a 7. I think the most notable examples of why Elizabeth is a 7 is in her attitude towards marriage- she values being happy in marriage over stability and says that only the deepest love would compel her to marry. Nonetheless- I think she has a 6 wing because she is fiercely loyal. Loyal to Jane, loyal to Wickham when she first believes he was the good guy, and loyal to her family regardless of the fact that she is embarrassed of them. I also think the reason she mourns so much for Jane’s rejection and Charlotte and Lydia’s marriages is because she realizes that these things will make her sisters/friend unhappy, which is what Elizabeth thinks is most important.

Jane- 2w1

I knew right away that Jane was a type 2. She is a very giving, generous person who allows others to take advantage of her- most notably her mother and future sisters in law. She is also notably intent on convincing herself that the Bingley sisters do like her, despite what they do to her and seems especially distraught at others having to be the one to take care of her when she is sick and bedridden.

Bingley- 9

I had a lot of trouble typing Bingley. I ultimately settled on a type 9 because he’s a pushover. He is is easily convinced into doing just about anything- from throwing a ball, to leaving town. He is likewise convinced by others that Jane doesn’t like him as he likes her rather than trusting his own instincts. I think he values peace and thus doesn’t stand up to his sisters for fear of the conflict.

Darcy- 5w4

Darcy is a textbook 5. He’s socially awkward, prefers to observe rather than participate, does whatever he can to conserve his energy, and values knowledge and wit. I think he has a 4 wing because of his tendency to be a bit melodramatic and because I think the reason he values his reputation so much is because he fears being seen as common or ordinary like less well-off families

Mrs Bennet- 6

Mrs Bennet is a type 6 because of her tendency to worry, become anxious, and because she fixates her entire energy into finding husbands for her daughters- knowing that husbands will ensure her daughters have stability. However, I struggled reconciling this typing with the fact that she so readily puts Jane’s health at risk so if anyone else has other ideas I am open to hearing them.

Mr Bennet- 5

I think Mr Bennet is a type 5 primarily because of how much he values time alone and peace. It’s evident that he finds his wife draining and in order to conserve his energy he often hides away. He allows Mrs Bennet to do ridiculous things while he sits backs and merely observes and he values the deep conversations he’s able to have with Elizabeth

Lydia- 3

I typed Lydia as a type 3 because I think her reaction to the situation with Wickham implies that she views marriage as being accomplished- which is why she brags so much about being married so young and about all of things she will do as a married woman. An unhealthy 3 veers into 9 territory which I think is why Wickham so easily convinced her to run off with him.

Wickham- 7

I think Wickham is an example of an unhealthy 7. He is impulsive and doesn’t think about the long term effects of his actions. I also think he hides the truth from Elizabeth about his relationship with Darcy because he thinks if she knew the truth she’d reveal it to others and he wouldn’t have the fun he was having. He later ropes Lydia into running off with him and has to be persuaded to do the right thing and marry her with the offer of money- a commodity he famously lacks because of his own lack of foresight.

Mr Collins- 2w1

Mr Collins has a sense of right and wrong and morality- hence why he decides it is proper to marry one of the Bennet girls since he is to inherit their home, but I think he cares much more about being liked. He does have a sense of servitude- he does serve his flock, after all- but I think his greatest example of being a 2 is with his relationship with Lady Catherine and how he essentially worships her because he values someone of her stature showing him favor.

Lady Catherine- 8

I had trouble typing Lady Catherine, but I ultimately settled on a type 8 mostly because of her reaction to Elizabeth and Darcy. I think Lady Catherine values the respect she’s been able to earn as a woman in Victorian England and I think she dislikes having control taken away from her when Darcy will not marry Miss de Bourg like Lady Catherine wanted and I think she resents how that decision will make her look more than anything else.
