Personality

What personality type is Matilda Wormwood? Matilda Wormwood is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/so - 514 in Enneagram, RCOAI in Big 5, LII in Socionics.

I see Te over Ti. She values structure over subjective logic, shown by her respect for the legal system and her displeasure at her biological father's lack of credibility as a salesman. She reads, yes, because she is an intelligent person who values literacy, not because she is constructing a personal system of logic. She also exhibits a clear Fi preference. Her Ni is clear in her strategizing and planning for the future, ie. the long time planning for the heist against Trunchbull and her prioritization of an ideal future when she saves the adoption papers as soon as shes enabled to. She doesn't prioritize organization, as stereotypes dictate, but systems of external structure appeal to her: INTJ
