The Talented Mr. Ripley: Tom Ripley: INFJ 3w2

The Originals: Camille O’Connell: INFJ 1w2

Myers Briggs: INFJ

Ni: Camille is extremely analytical and intuitive about people. She is good at reading between the lines and figuring out what people are thinking or feeling. She is a good strategist and thinks things through. She always develops a plan before acting.

Fe: Cami is openly expressive of her feelings and is very compassionate. She believes that people are good, but she still has a realistic view of the world and the darkness that exists inside of people. She cares about social norms and is quick to remind Klaus of them when he breaks one of those rules.

Ti: Cami is logical and impartial. She is good at noticing other people’s logical inconsistencies. She is very inquisitive and theoretical. She takes a systematic apprach towards her own darkness as well as Klaus’s and everyone around her. She is generally rational and level headed when making decisions.

Se: Cami is not the best fighter, and uses her ability to plan and strategize to overcompensate for this. When Klaus takes her dark objects, she takes the white oak because she believes the only way to protect herself is to have an advantage against her potential adversaries, vampires that are stronger than her. She appears to be in the grip of Se, acting impulsively to try and protect herself due to her anxiety about her physical abilities.

Enneagram: 1w2 Tritype 162

Cami is very principled and perfectionistic. She believes in the goodness of people and hopes to bring out Klaus’s kinder side and help him become a better person. She is ambitious and disciplined. She takes care of her friends and wants to be a good, loving person. When she becomes a vampire, she disintegrates to 7 and becomes much more impulsive and less perfectionistic. Cami wants to be a good person, and is terrified of her own inner darkness and attraction to Klaus because of this darkness. She is afraid she will end up like her brother before finding out he was hexed, and studies psychology to understand her own darkness after assaulting a man in college.

Attitudinal Psyche: LEFV

1L Confident Logic: Cami is very inquisitive and theoretical, relying on logical frameworks in psychology to understand the world around her. She believes in objectivity and logical consistency. She becomes frustrated when others behave in an irrational way and is a very logical person. She believes in a logical explanation to everything and even applies psychology to vampire mind compulsion.

2E Flexible Emotion: She is very compassionate and accepting of others and their emotions. She is very expressive and open. She tends to be the peacemaker when needed. She tends to see emotions in shades of gray, not judging those who do not live up to the same moral/ social standards too harshly. Instead she empathizes with and tries to understand these individuals, not having a black and white view of emotions.

3F Insecure Physics: She is not the best at combat and is very aware of this vulnerability, making her feel unsafe after Aurora turns her. She overcompensates for this weakness with her planning abilities.

4V Unbothered Volition: Cami is not as focused on controlling her environment or getting results, but on her understanding of the world around her in regards to people and in empathizing with the emotions of others.

Wednesday: Wednesday Addams: INTJ 5w4

Myers Briggs: INTJ

Ni: Wednesday processes everything around her through her intuition- she follows hunches about the case, like looking into the Gates family mansion, Crackstone’s Crypt, etc. Wednesday quickly sizes up everyone around her as soon as she meets them, often reading between the lines to poing out what they’re really thinking. She always prefers to follow a plan before leaping into action, but can be quite reckless when pursuing a lead if it will get her closer to the truth. She trusts her visions despite everyone else saying they’re unreliable, because she kust knows they’re true.

Te: Wednesday is often very blunt to those around her. She never sugarcoats her words when arguing a point to someone, instead stating the facts as she sees them. She is efficient and pragmatic, and distrusts her own emotions. Wednesday finds it hard to admit to herself she has feelings for (SPOILERS) Tyler, only acting on these feelings after trying to ignore them for much of the season. Wednesday is not hesitant to point out her intuitive conclusions once she’s reached them, often times being perplexed by the offense taken by others.

Fi: At the end of the day, however, Wednesday is capable of deep emotions, displaying a protective nature over Pugsley by trying to get him to toughen up after her father’s arrest. She goes to great lengths to prove her father’s inocence, despite not always expressing how deep her love is for her family. She cares a great deal about Enid, expressing protectiveness over her multiple times despite trying to present an unemotional façade.

Se: Wednesday can be impulsive at times, and this impulsivity often puts her and her friends at risk. She does better in the mental world as opposed to the physical, but is skilled at certain physical tasks she devotes herself to, such as fencing and archery. She doesn’t live in the present, instead living in her own mental world, turning every problem into a puzzle to solve.

Enneagram: 5w4

Wednesday is a teenage author and the protagonist of her three unpublished novels, Viper, mirrors how she views herself- a “girl detective” like Wednesday who is “smart, perceptive, chronically misunderstood.” This describes Wednesday perfectly. She views herself as smarter than those around her, able to make connections others miss due to her own unique form of intelligence. She feels like an outsider, a central theme of the show, because of how perceptive she is. She has a tendency to pull away from others, withdrawing into her own mind to solve her problems. She relies on her intellect for any puzzle she comes across.

Just updated the blog- now that the holidays are over I should be posting more frequently. Will also have some changes to the blog- I’ll be starting making posts that are more theory- based. Hope you had a happy New Year and Christmas!

Attitudinal Psyche: The Originals: Klaus Mikaelson

VFEL

1V Confident Volition: Klaus is first and foremost a leader. He takes charge even if it means pushing someone else out and craves power and control. He doesn’t always listen to Elijah’s advice and often follows his own ideas even when he already agreed to his siblings’ plans. He always knows what he wants in life and makes plans to get it.

2F Flexible Physics: Klaus is a good fighter and is undefeated until the Hollow. He knows how to manipulate his physical environment well. He has fine tastes and enjoys living in comfort.

3E Insecure Emotion: Klaus is not conscientious of other people’s emotions, unless it’s someone he really cares about, like Cami or Hope. He does what he wants despite how it affects other people. He is prone to emotional outbursts when things don’t go his way.

4L Unbothered Logic: Klaus does not care so much whether or not he is being reasonable as long as he achieves his goal. He is not overly focused on logic, but is more concerned with efficiency and his goals.

INFJ Grip Experience In Fiction: Camille O’ Connell From The Originals

After Cami becomes a vampire, she begins struggling with feelings of insecurity about her physical abilities to defend herself against more experienced vampires. Cami becomes hyperaware of her lower Se, and tries to overcompensate with the impulsive strategy to steal Klaus’s white oak. She doesn’t think through her plan as well as she normally does, and impulsively acts to get her dark objects back despite Vincent telling her it puts a target on her back. In the end, a witch steals the white oak, and Cami realizes what she did was wrong and goes back to her Ni being in charge.

In addition, Camille begins to see Klaus as a scapegoat after he takes away her dark objects, blaming him for her weaker connection to Se. She becomes cold, calculating and fearful that she won’t be able to protect herself from Aurora if she escapes, or from other, more experienced vampires. After Cami comes out of the grip of Se, she sees that what she did was wrong, and begins to use her functions in a more healthy way again.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I got really sick for a few weeks (not Covid though). I will continue to post more often going forward.

Started an attudinal psyche blog for those who are interested, but will still be postingregularly in this one. The new blog is called Attitudinal Psyche Explained. I posted the first post today, explaining the theory behind APTI. I will be posting weekly in the new blog, as I post one to two times a week in this one.

Jamie Campbell Bower:

Quicktype: INFJ 4w3

Observations on myers briggs: He accurately predicts the show- he knew Vecna was the main villain before it was confirmed to him, which indicates Ni. Tends to unify everything he does- music and acting, indicating convergence of Ni. He is very intuitive about getting inside his character’s heads- NiFe. He is very personable and polite- Fe. He is methodical in his roles- Ti. He mentions having finally found a good work/ life balance- maybe struggles with living in the moment so inferior Se is likely. Se could be developing with age, he is in his thirties.

Observations on enneagram: He is very individualistic, authentic, identity based despite being Fe, which is why he is often typed as INFP but I see clear auxiliary Fe. He is sensitive and emotional, good at getting in touch with dark side for his roles. Sounds 4w3 to me, he is also very charming and socially conscious. Could have a 7 fix somewhere because he is a very positive person in interviews, reframes things to be more positive in a activity-/ fun- oriented way.

4.      Example

My friend is a 3w4 7w8 1w2 sx/sp

His core desires go:

Success>specialness>stimulation>perfection>autonomy>love

His core fears go:

Failure>normalcy>entrapment>unworthiness>enslavement>abandonment

His 3 is attractiveness focused with a side of work focus.

His 7 is fresh experience focused with a side of lifestyle focus.

His 1 is zeal focused with a side of self-criticism focus.

5.      Making the connections

This is a more intuitive (not iNtuitive) process. Make the connections from the basic core fear and desire (example: the core fear of failure feeds into all these other fears as a root cause and all these other fears in combination feed these behaviors)

Look at how the single core fear plays into every other behavior at play and every other fear at play. Flavor each attitude and behavior and fear based on every other factor.

And in conclusion, you have your type evaluated. Congratulations. Go forth into the world in full glory.

Erik/ the Phantom of the Opera personality type: INTJ 4w5

Myers Briggs: INTJ

Ni: Erik is excellent at predicting future outcomes. He always knows what people are going to do next and is a meticulous strategist and planner. His primary focus is making his personal artistic vision come to fruition, which is having his opera performed with Christine as the prima donna. He is intuitive about what people are thinking and what their motivations are.

Te: Erik is efficient and practical. He becomes frustrated when he believes other people aren’t doing their jobs adequately and manipulates everyone at the opera house in order to accomplish his goals. He can be ruthless when it comes to accomplishing his goals and will even harm others to make his point, like with Joseph Buquet.

Fi: Erik doesn’t have many people he cares about; he really only cares for Christine. Erik’s Fi is immature and so he is prone to outbursts of emotion. He does not regulate his emotions very well due to having been rejected by society his entire life.

Se: Erik is agile and skilled in combat. He is a skilled swordsman and holds his own against Raoul. He can sometimes be impulsive, but usually his actions serve to help him achieve some sort of goal.

Enneagram: 4w5

Erik is emotional and intense. He expresses himself through his art and his artistic vision is based on himself instead of what he thinks will please others. He is authentic and individualistic, and moves to 2 in times of stress. When he fails to win Christine’s love he kidnaps her and tries to manipulate her into choosing him over Raoul. Erik is also very knowledgeble and uses his various skills to protect himself from the outside world.

Instinctual variant: sx/so

Erik’s primary concern is that he wants to be loved and in a relationship, and becomes obsessed with Christine for this reason. He uses his music to express his sexuality and desire for intimacy that he has never been able to experience due to his appearance. Erik wants to be accepted by society, but has never felt acceptance due to his appearance. He wishes for people to show him kindness and when he is finally shown kindness by Christine, he finally demonstrates an ability to show compassion.

Temperament: Melancholic Choleric

Erik is an analytical thinker and a deeply emotional person. He wants things done right in the opera house and becomes annoyed when he believes people to be incompetent. He is also efficient and can be bossy and demanding of the managers in the opera house. He is very particular about how he wants things done and becomes frustrated when people do not listen to him. He can be blunt with people when he feels they are not doing things correctly.
