She is in tune with others around her at all times, which is the biggest (or one of the biggest) traits of being an ENFJ. This mbti is also called 'the mentor', and 'the visionary.' ENFJs are warm, compassionate and eager to help others. They can also be very opinionated and think they know what is best.

May still obey the law in some sense, but if they see something wrong with it, they have no problem with going against the law.

One of the biggest traits that isn't mentioned much, is that Scorpios never give up. Their willpower is tremendous.

Evan Buckley Personality Profile

Protagonist - ENFJ

According to my knowledge, Buck would be an ENFJ. Note: These are from a website, and therefore is what the website says for this type. I went through every single one to figure out the right fit for him and this one was the closest according to how he is in the show.

Protagonists are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, Protagonists take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community.

People are drawn to strong personalities, and Protagonists radiate authenticity, concern, and altruism, unafraid to stand up and speak when they feel something needs to be said. They find it natural and easy to communicate with others, especially in person, and their Intuitive (N) trait helps people with the Protagonist personality type to reach every mind, be it through facts and logic or raw emotion. Protagonists easily see people’s motivations and seemingly disconnected events, and are able to bring these ideas together and communicate them as a common goal with an eloquence that is nothing short of mesmerizing.

The interest Protagonists have in others is genuine, almost to a fault – when they believe in someone, they can become too involved in the other person’s problems, place too much trust in them. Luckily, this trust tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Protagonists’ altruism and authenticity inspire those they care about to become better themselves. But if they aren’t careful, they can overextend their optimism, sometimes pushing others further than they’re ready or willing to go.

Protagonists are vulnerable to another snare as well: they have a tremendous capacity for reflecting on and analyzing their own feelings, but if they get too caught up in another person’s plight, they can develop a sort of emotional hypochondria, seeing other people’s problems in themselves, trying to fix something in themselves that isn’t wrong. If they get to a point where they are held back by limitations someone else is experiencing, it can hinder Protagonists’ ability to see past the dilemma and be of any help at all. When this happens, it’s important for Protagonists to pull back and use that self-reflection to distinguish between what they really feel, and what is a separate issue that needs to be looked at from another perspective.

People with the Protagonist personality type are passionate altruists, sometimes even to a fault, and they are unlikely to be afraid to take the slings and arrows while standing up for the people and ideas they believe in. This personality type wants to lead the way to a brighter future, whether it’s by leading a nation to prosperity, or leading their little league softball team to a hard-fought victory.

STRENGTHS

Tolerant – Protagonists are true team players, and they recognize that that means listening to other peoples’ opinions, even when they contradict their own. They admit they don’t have all the answers, and are often receptive to dissent, so long as it remains constructive.

Reliable – The one thing that galls Protagonists the most is the idea of letting down a person or cause they believe in. If it’s possible, Protagonists can always be counted on to see it through.

Charismatic – Charm and popularity are qualities Protagonists have in spades. They instinctively know how to capture an audience, and pick up on mood and motivation in ways that allow them to communicate with reason, emotion, passion, restraint – whatever the situation calls for. Talented imitators, Protagonists are able to shift their tone and manner to reflect the needs of the audience, while still maintaining their own voice.

Altruistic – Uniting these qualities is Protagonists’ unyielding desire to do good in and for their communities, be it in their own home or the global stage. Warm and selfless, Protagonists genuinely believe that if they can just bring people together, they can do a world of good.

Natural Leaders – More than seeking authority themselves, Protagonists often end up in leadership roles at the request of others, cheered on by the many admirers of their strong personality and positive vision.

WEAKNESSES

Overly Idealistic – People with the Protagonist personality type can be caught off guard as they find that, through circumstance or nature, or simple misunderstanding, people fight against them and defy the principles they’ve adopted, however well-intentioned they may be. They are more likely to feel pity for this opposition than anger, and can earn a reputation of naïveté.

Too Selfless – Protagonists can bury themselves in their hopeful promises, feeling others’ problems as their own and striving hard to meet their word. If they aren’t careful, they can spread themselves too thin, and be left unable to help anyone.

Too Sensitive – While receptive to criticism, seeing it as a tool for leading a better team, it’s easy for Protagonists to take it a little too much to heart. Their sensitivity to others means that Protagonists sometimes feel problems that aren’t their own and try to fix things they can’t fix, worrying if they are doing enough.

Fluctuating Self-Esteem – Protagonists define their self-esteem by whether they are able to live up to their ideals, and sometimes ask for criticism more out of insecurity than out of confidence, always wondering what they could do better. If they fail to meet a goal or to help someone they said they’d help, their self-confidence will undoubtedly plummet.

Struggle to Make Tough Decisions – If caught between a rock and a hard place, Protagonists can be stricken with paralysis, imagining all the consequences of their actions, especially if those consequences are humanitarian.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

(Abby, Ali, possibly Eddie)

People who share the Protagonist personality type feel most at home when they are in a relationship, and few types are more eager to establish a loving commitment with their chosen partners. Protagonists take dating and relationships seriously, selecting partners with an eye towards the long haul, rather than the more casual approach that might be expected from some types in the Explorer Role group. There’s really no greater joy for Protagonists than to help along the goals of someone they care about, and the interweaving of lives that a committed relationship represents is the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Their Intuitive (N) trait helps them to keep up with the rapidly shifting moods that are common early in relationships, but Protagonists will still rely on conversations about their mutual feelings, checking the pulse of the relationship by asking how things are, and if there’s anything else they can do. While this can help to keep conflict, which Protagonists abhor, to a minimum, they also risk being overbearing or needy – Protagonists should keep in mind that sometimes the only thing that’s wrong is being asked what’s wrong too often.

Protagonists don’t need much to be happy, just to know that their partner is happy, and for their partner to express that happiness through visible affection. Making others’ goals come to fruition is often the chiefest concern of Protagonists, and they will spare no effort in helping their partner to live the dream. If they aren’t careful though, Protagonists’ quest for their partners’ satisfaction can leave them neglecting their own needs, and it’s important for them to remember to express those needs on occasion, especially early on.

Protagonists’ tendency to avoid any kind of conflict, sometimes even sacrificing their own principles to keep the peace, can lead to long-term problems if these efforts never fully resolve the underlying issues that they mask. On the other hand, people with the Protagonist personality type can sometimes be too preemptive in resolving their conflicts, asking for criticisms and suggestions in ways that convey neediness or insecurity. Protagonists invest their emotions wholly in their relationships, and are sometimes so eager to please that it actually undermines the relationship – this can lead to resentment, and even the failure of the relationship. When this happens, Protagonists experience strong senses of guilt and betrayal, as they see all their efforts slip away.

If potential partners appreciate these qualities though, and make an effort themselves to look after the needs of their Protagonist partners, they will enjoy long, happy, passionate relationships. Protagonists are known to be dependable lovers, perhaps more interested in routine and stability than spontaneity in their sex lives, but always dedicated to the selfless satisfaction of their partners. Ultimately, Protagonist personality types believe that the only true happiness is mutual happiness, and that’s the stuff successful relationships are made of.

FRIENDSHIPS

(station 118, Josh, Maddie)

When it comes to friendships, Protagonists are anything but passive. While some personality types may accept the circumstantial highs and lows of friendship, their feelings waxing and waning with the times, Protagonists will put active effort into maintaining these connections, viewing them as substantial and important, not something to let slip away through laziness or inattention.

People with the Protagonist personality type take genuine pleasure in getting to know other people, and have no trouble talking with people of all types and modes of thought. Even in disagreement, other perspectives are fascinating to Protagonists – though like most people, they connect best with individuals who share their principles and ideals. It is with these closest friends that Protagonists will truly open up, keeping their many other connections in a realm of lighthearted but genuine support and encouragement.

Others truly value their Protagonist friends, appreciating the warmth, kindness, and sincere optimism and cheer they bring to the table. Protagonists want to be the best friends possible, and it shows in how they work to find out not just the superficial interests of their friends, but their strengths, passions, hopes, and dreams. Nothing makes Protagonists happier than to see the people they care about do well, and they are more than happy to take their own time and energy to help make it happen.

Protagonists will find that their excitement and unyielding optimism will yield them many satisfying relationships with people who appreciate and share their vision and authenticity. The joy Protagonists take in moving things forward means that there is always a sense of purpose behind their friendships, creating bonds that are not easily shaken.

CONCLUSION

Few personality types are as inspiring and charismatic as Protagonists. Their idealism and vision allow Protagonists to overcome many challenging obstacles, more often than not brightening the lives of those around them. Protagonists’ imagination is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet Protagonists can be easily tripped up in areas where idealism and altruism are more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, staying calm under pressure, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder, or making difficult decisions, Protagonists need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.

Betty Cooper Personality Profile

According to my knowledge, Betty Cooper would be an ENTP. Note: These are from a website, and therefore is what the website says for this type. I went through every single one to figure out the right fit for Betty and this one was the closest and fits her well according to how she is in the show.

The Debater personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. Debaters don’t do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it’s fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than Debaters, as it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points.

Playing the devil’s advocate helps people with the Debater personality type to not only develop a better sense of others’ reasoning, but a better understanding of opposing ideas – since Debaters are the ones arguing them.

Taking a certain pleasure in being the underdog, Debaters enjoy the mental exercise found in questioning the prevailing mode of thought, making them irreplaceable in reworking existing systems or shaking things up and pushing them in clever new directions. However, they’ll be miserable managing the day-to-day mechanics of actually implementing their suggestions. Debater personalities love to brainstorm and think big, but they will avoid getting caught doing the “grunt work” at all costs.

Debaters’ capacity for debate can be a vexing one – while often appreciated when it’s called for, it can fall painfully flat when they step on others’ toes by say, openly questioning their friends, or picking apart everything their significant other says. This is further complicated by Debaters’ unyielding honesty, as this type doesn’t mince words and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate. Likeminded types get along well enough with people with the Debater personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general, are often conflict-averse, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies over unpleasant truths and hard rationality.

This frustrates Debaters, and they find that their quarrelsome fun burns many bridges, oftentimes inadvertently, as they plow through others’ thresholds for having their beliefs questioned and their feelings brushed aside. Treating others as they’d be treated, Debaters have little tolerance for being coddled, and dislike when people beat around the bush, especially when asking a favor. Debater personalities find themselves respected for their vision, confidence, knowledge, and keen sense of humor, but often struggle to utilize these qualities as the basis for deeper friendships and romantic relationships.

Debaters need to remember that for their ideas to come to fruition, they will always depend on others to assemble the pieces – if they’ve spent more time “winning” arguments than they have building consensus, many Debaters will find they simply don’t have the support necessary to be successful. Playing devil’s advocate so well, people with this personality type may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration and compromise alongside logic and progress.

STRENGTHS

Knowledgeable – Debaters rarely pass up a good opportunity to learn something new.

Quick Thinkers – Debaters have tremendously flexible minds, and are able to shift from idea to idea without effort, drawing on their accumulated knowledge to prove their points, or their opponents’, as they see fit.

Excellent Brainstormers – Nothing is quite as enjoyable to Debaters as analyzing problems from every angle to find the best solutions. Combining their knowledge and originality to splay out every aspect of the subject at hand, rejecting without remorse options that don’t work and presenting even more possibilities, Debaters are irreplaceable in brainstorming sessions.

Charismatic – People with the Debater personality type have a way with words and wit that others find intriguing. Their confidence, quick thought, and ability to connect disparate ideas in novel ways create a style of communication that is charming, even entertaining, and informative at the same time.

Energetic – When given a chance to combine these traits to examine an interesting problem, Debaters can be truly impressive in their enthusiasm and energy, having no qualms with putting in long days and nights to find a solution.

WEAKNESSES

Very Argumentative – If there’s anything Debaters enjoy, it’s the mental exercise of debating an idea, and nothing is sacred. More consensus-oriented personality types rarely appreciate the vigor with which Debater personalities tear down their beliefs and methods, leading to a great deal of tension.

Insensitive – Being so rational, Debaters often misjudge others feelings and push their debates well past others’ tolerance levels. People with this personality type don’t really consider emotional points to be valid in such debates either, which magnifies the issue tremendously.

Intolerant – Unless people are able to back up their ideas in a round of mental sparring, Debaters are likely to dismiss not just the ideas but the people themselves.

Can Find It Difficult to Focus – The same flexibility that allows Debaters to come up with such original plans and ideas makes them readapt perfectly good ones far too often, or to even drop them entirely as the initial excitement wanes and newer thoughts come along. Boredom comes too easily for Debaters, and fresh thoughts are the solution, though not always a helpful one.

Dislike Practical Matters – Debaters are interested in what could be – malleable concepts like ideas and plans that can be adapted and debated.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS

(ATM Jughead Jones, possibly Archie Andrews)

For people with the Debater personality type growth is key, and even before they’ve found a dating partner, they imagine all the ways that they can experience new things together, to grow in tandem. This can be an overwhelming process if their partner doesn’t match up, but when Debaters find someone who shares their love of intellectual exploration, watch out.

From the earliest dates, Debaters test their partners’ limits for this kind of potential, pushing boundaries and traditions, looking for open-mindedness and spontaneity. Dating Debater personalities is hardly a boring experience, and they make use of their enthusiasm and creativity by delighting and surprising their partners with new ideas and experiences.

Debaters’ idea of fun is often rooted in self-improvement, and people with this personality type bring their partners along the way, as much in a spirit of sharing as in a spirit of expectation. Debaters see either growth or stagnation and don’t buy into the idea of a happy status quo, making them demanding as much as they are exciting. Some may tire in the face of this constant improvement – while Debaters’ vigor can be attractive, it can also wear down even the most patient partners

Debaters’ desire to improve in the intimate department makes them fantastic partners when the relationship reaches that point, but their attitude towards this process is also evidence of their most glaring shortcoming – their emotional obliviousness. While Debaters are more open-minded than other Analyst personality types about others’ perspectives, they are also more likely to express their disdain for such things as emotional sensitivity in cuttingly well-phrased and clear terms, easily hurting their partners’ feelings without realizing it. Debater personalities may even ignore their partners’ feelings altogether, instead immersing themselves entirely in some distant idea or opportunity, inaccessible.

Debaters’ best compatibility rests with other Intuitive types, with one or two opposing traits which help to create both balance and opportunities for growth. If they are with a more sensitive partner, this can be an excellent way for them to find another quality that they can work on together, making this weakness yet another opportunity to be creative, challenge themselves, and to deepen the attractiveness that this sense of progression brings to their relationships.

FRIENDSHIPS

(ATM Archie, Jughead, Veronica, and Kevin)

Loyalty, support, emotional feedback – these are not what Debaters look for in their friendships. The last thing people with the Debater personality type want to hear is “you’re right”, not unless they have absolutely earned the distinction in a heated round of intellectual debate. If they’re wrong, Debaters want to be told so, and they want every detail of the faults in their logic to be laid bare, partly in their quest for oftentimes arbitrary truth, and partly just so they have to work to defend that logic with counterpoint and parry.

It’s often easy for Debaters to test compatibility with a potential friend – they just need to test combatability. Debater personalities are quick-witted, and their primary means of expressing this is in the form of arguments and discussions, where they will easily spend an entire evening debating an idea they may not even believe in. These debates are never taken personally, no matter how heated they become or how striking the disagreement.

Debaters are actually remarkably good at communicating with friends and acquaintances of other personality types. Their natural tendency to argue as effectively as possible means that Debaters are accustomed to communicating in other people’s language and frame of reference, and this translates well into normal conversation. Where people with the Debater personality type do have difficulty relating to others is in emotional expression, the Achilles’ heel of all Analyst types.

Being inclined to suppress their emotions and feelings, when Debaters are faced with a friend who, figuratively or literally, needs a shoulder to cry on, they have no clue how to handle the situation. They are perfectly willing and happy to offer a series of rational, reasonable solutions to the problem at hand, as Debaters do for any situation where a problem needs to be fixed, but they are certainly not known for their sensitivity or outward affection, no matter how intuitively they may understand another’s position.

Worse is when Debater personalities try to turn these emotional situations into something they find more comfortable: a debate. Given how remarkably good Debaters are at arguing both sides of a point, they are remarkably bad at putting themselves in someone else’s shoes from an emotional standpoint. Debaters should avoid at all costs the temptation to turn a discussion about the causes of a friend’s recent breakup into competitive intellectual fodder.

So long as everyone understands not to take their words too personally, anyone who isn’t afraid to discuss new ideas is likely to find stimulating and thought-provoking friends in Debaters. It’s not a compatibility that clicks with everyone, but Debaters don’t really care about being liked by everyone anyways. As long as they get to alternate between being the sounding board and the megaphone, Debaters and their friends are bound to enjoy each other’s company for a long, long time.

CONCLUSION

Armed with a powerful intellect and vivid imagination, Debaters can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. At the same time, their many quirks, such as often unconstrained rationalism, lead to many misunderstandings.

Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes [ISFJ] - The Defender

EZ Reyes has a beautiful mind and a beautiful heart, so why is he here? People are always telling him his future is brighter than anything Santo Padre could ever provide, and EZ has been conditioned to believe this. He spends most of the season vindicating this claim about himself so he can have a purpose after he finishes his ‘temporary’ run with the M.C. It’s not until late in the season that he starts to come to terms with where his mistakes have led him. When he ultimately chooses to stay and prospect for the Mayans M.C., it’s not submission to his underlying fear of worthlessness; rather, it’s about acceptance and control of his new, chosen path.

Strengths: sincere, generous, observant, patient, loyal, hard-working

Weaknesses: naïve, overloads himself, represses his feelings, reluctant to change, too self-sacrificing

For most of the first season, EZ lies to the club about his deal with the DEA out of self-preservation. But it’s important to remember that EZ signed the deal on the condition that it wouldn’t cause harm to his brother and the M.C. In one episode, we see that EZ is willing to go back to prison if it means Emily isn’t used as a pawn to get to her husband. So, while EZ takes the deal to get out of prison early for himself, he ultimately struggles to maintain his obligations to the DEA because he’s too selfless and too protective of so many relationships at one time. There are several points throughout the season when EZ neglects his personal needs in favour of serving or protecting others — whether or not he’s been directed to do so by his superiors. 

EZ’s primary desire is to be of service to others — not necessarily to take on a provider role but to be a guardian to those who matter most in his life. When EZ cares for others, he listens, doesn’t make it about himself, and never seeks for anything in return. It doesn’t matter if one has a history with him (Emily) or if it’s someone he just met five minutes ago (Leticia), EZ’s empathetic and well-meaning nature drives him to help others. He’s so genuinely helpful and so invested in maintaining that reputation of reliability that he sometimes doesn’t realize how his well-intentioned actions can hurt him. 

Angel said, “EZ’s special.” He doesn’t belong in Santo Padre and he uses that family dream projected onto EZ to push his brother out of the club and out of the “dead fucking town.” Naturally warm and caring, EZ has an uncanny ability to notice small details — facial expressions, looks exchanged between two people — that allows him to, not only figure people out but also, show people he cares about them in a meaningful way. When Emily comes to him because she’s a mess from losing her son and she’s feeling isolated by Miguel, EZ lets her in and he listens to her. When Leticia shows up and Coco can’t immediately be there for his daughter, EZ steps up and asks for nothing in return. Coco recognizes EZ’s gesture of goodwill and rewards him for it by opening up to the Prospect when he’s normally so guarded. This innate ability to seem trustworthy is ironic given EZ’s situation as an informant. 

While it’s easy to notice EZ’s physical strength, there’s a quiet strength to him that shouldn’t go unnoticed. He doesn’t take crap from people even if they are authority figures; he has shown to answer back to law enforcement officers (Kevin and that off-duty cop at the casino) and Miguel. Often, when he bites back, it’s not even to defend himself but to defend groups that can’t speak for themselves in the moment (the M.C., the families victimized by the cartel). That being said, EZ also has a conventional approach to relationships — he understands his position in the club and respects the patch. While all prospects in the history of the Sutterverse have shown a degree of subservience to full-patch members, EZ displays a strong work ethic and never complains even when instructed to complete menial tasks (like recycling). He also shows a great deal of respect and reverence to his father, which can be attributed to him being the ‘good son’, but more interestingly it stems from his deference to traditional familial bonds. Yes, Felipe does take a liking to his second son, but EZ is also the son who frequently checks on his father and helps him out with chores that need to be done in the butcher shop. EZ doesn’t take his Pop’s favourable treatment for granted.

Functional Order: Si-Fe-Ti-Ne

His eidetic memory allows him to store data and information like no other character in the series. He’s able to take present conversations and images and contrast them with prior experiences, and we see that through the use of flashbacks. It’s important to note that these flashbacks are only from EZ’s point of view — it distinguishes him as the “gifted one”. These flashbacks are not only useful in terms of finding solutions to whatever problem he or the club might have, but it also emphasizes nostalgia as a driving force in his life.

Since introverted sensing is his strongest function, EZ is often seen expressing a great attention to detail in both past and present. His problem is that he has had a very clear picture of what his future would look like because of the way he senses his world around him; unfortunately, he cannot simply create his future the way he can recreate in his mind what has already happened. This makes his arrest and subsequent stint in Stockton even more heartbreaking because he’s the golden child of his town — a kid with so much promise — and he loses everything by making an uncharacteristically impulsive decision.

In the first couple episodes, EZ is seen using his gift to satisfy the needs of others. He remembers the BTT tattoo of the rival Samoan gang and gives away that information because he thinks it will help. He does the same when he tells Angel about the license plate in episode two — this time, finding a way to help Los Olvidados’ cause while still ensuring the safety of Emily’s child. Having an auxiliary Fe means he applies his understanding of a situation in a way that shows loyalty and dedication to the people that matter to him.

Tertiary Ti manifests when EZ steps away from his emotions and makes sense of things rationally. EZ has several moments when he lets nostalgic emotions get in the way of more immediate goals. He goes to the hospital to visit Emily even though he knows it would be a huge risk. He’s so hellbent on finding his mother’s killer, even going so far as to ask Angel for a gun, that he can’t foresee the consequences of vigilante justice.

A reluctance to try new ways of doing things and giving way to anxiety over the unknown can be attributed to an inferior Ne. At the start of the series, EZ’s mind is made up — he’ll fulfill his end of the deal (supply information on the cartel and only the cartel) and high-tail it out of Santo Padre. Prior to that, he was set on Stanford. He was set on the idea of becoming a self-made man with a legitimate career and a family with his high school sweetheart. When all of that goes to shit and he’s sidetracked to being an outlaw, EZ still sees it as a transitory move until he can focus all his energy back on clinching what he lost.

An immature inferior Ne manifests as a loss of control over facts and details, which then leads to impulsiveness and catastrophizing. As mentioned earlier, when EZ’s mom was killed, he was so rattled that he took all the ‘evidence’ he collected and directed it toward his pursuit of vengeance, resulting in him shooting a cop and ‘destroying’ his future. Eight years later, we see a maturity in this function when EZ makes the decision to remain a prospect for the M.C. and when he asks Bishop to replace Angel as his sponsor. While EZ reveals to Felipe his reservations to follow through with his brother’s request, he doesn’t consult anyone on this particular matter. He makes the choice to stay with the M.C. and switch his sponsor because it’s what he wants. He puts his wants and needs at the forefront. And although it deviates from his original plan, EZ has shown that he has finally gotten past the uncertainty and the fear of not living up to expectations and allowed himself to entertain the possibility of this new life.
