Personality

What personality type is Emma Woodhouse? Emma Woodhouse is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - so/sp - 271 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.

Emma has very high Ni, her lower Se is what betrays her. Her fatal flaw is her inability to see what is right in front of her exactly for what it is, unlike Elizabeth Bennet, for example, whose fatal flaw is not being able to see beyond what is in front of her. Emma's main tool to make decisions is other people's feelings and what she assumes she knows about them, while she's blissfully unaware of her own for most of the novel. We also don't see the forcefulness of Te, while she thinks she knows what's best for everyone, she treads carefully, opting for gently guiding others until they are of the same opinion as her, which is incompatible with Te's need for effectiveness
