Emma Bovary MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Emma Bovary? Emma Bovary is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sx/sp - 478 in Enneagram, RLUEI in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
4w3 ???????!!! WTF ?!!!! Would you have smoked moquette ? LMAO. At least, there is a consensus on the base 4 : Emma Bovary represents nicety all the traits of an ego + the essence of a 4 feeling (very) bad. She even embodies the stereotype of the enneatype 4 who is going badly, looking for strong emotions to avoid banality, emptiness and boredom. Emma Bovary is the ultimate incarnation of 4 in degraded states. Between her search for strong emotions to avoid banality, her "passion d'envie", sublimation, the incarnation-imagination dilemma, etc., everything is there ! There's no doubt about it, she is a fouuuur. BUT. WHY WING 3 ?! Emma is self-greed and her detachment is obvious (and like a 5, Emma's detachment kicks in to avoid the void.) Otherwise, I think she's Sp/So. Sp because she's fearless and doesn't care much about gossip. Throws himself into the adventure (not difficult to spot a 4 Sp : your friend suddenly decides to leave everything to go live in the mountains and raise llamas and be one with Nature ? 4 Sp.) So because shame is very present in her. Emma is ashamed of her husband, in particular. Shame leads to envy (desire for adventures, strong emotions, which she seeks in her adulteries or in her melancholy fixation), and envy leads to anger, since ultimately, Emma's desires are never satisfied . Her life never resembles the novels she reads. Her life is bland, like her husband. LMAO. To conclude, is it really relevant to type Emma at the level of the enneagram ? I guess she suffers from psychological disorders (maybe bpd) and typing people with psychological disorders (especially bpd which is a borderline state - i.e. somewhere between neurosis and psychosis) with a tool describing neuroses remains rather insufficient, even stupid. No one tries to drive a nail in with a feather. Why use inappropriate tools on psychiatric patients ? Emma exhibits several psychotic symptoms over the course of the story and suffers from significant emotional lability, swinging from one extreme emotion to another. Sorry for my bad english, I'm japanese.
