Mother Gothel MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Mother Gothel? Mother Gothel is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - sx/sp - 386 in Enneagram, SLOEN in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.

Although manipulative of Rapunzel’s ideas and emotions, Gothel is not an ESFJ in the slightest - Her manipulation through Te is very different than manipulation through Fe. Gothel keeps Rapunzel to herself with the sole motivation of keeping herself young, and doesn’t try to bother with unhealthy Fe manipulation or fake surface level niceties and offer Rapunzel the love and care that a Mother is meant to give to a child. With Te, she sees that Rapunzel is her one way ticket to achieving her goal, so she’ll make sure that in all her ventures Rapunzel will stay home in fear and paranoia rather than trust and respect. Using the facts she’s collected in objective observations of the world, She amplifies their negative traits and makes it look like a death trap that will be inescapable the moment Rapunzel steps outside. It doesn’t pander to any of Rapunzel’s wants or needs, but it does pander to her fear in a way that will keep her settled in Gothel’s tower. This is Te’s manipulation, handing out (albeit exaggerated) harsh realities and objective facts to keep a system in place, Not Fe’s. And to address further misconceptions - The only reason Gothel wants to be beautiful is for her own personal satisfaction rather and power than to fit the expectations of anyone else - And even despite that fact, she only seeks to look objectively desirable due to the enneagram 3.
