What personality type is Oliver Quick? Oliver Quick is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/sp - 451 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.

[ 1 / 2 ] 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤: 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 ❝Home doesn’t mean the same as it does for you, Felix. The f*cking filth of the place, the mess… I can’t do it. I just can’t❞. I think that envy is one of the transversal aspects in Oliver's character: I do not want to give spoilers to anyone, but at the end of the film and at the moment we know his true intentions, we learn how he had an inferior view of himself and how that motivated him to do what he did. Born into a middle-class family, the message the film wants to convey the moment we learn about his real home is that it is an ordinary and stereotypical house: there is not even trouble inside it, absolutely nothing memorable behind those doors. Saltburn, on the other hand, is a place of oligarchy and grandeur. A memorable paradise for anyone who enters it, whether for the luxuriousness of its spaces or for the emotional intensity and power games that take place between the people who live there. In that context, Oliver is attracted by the desire to obtain what he could never reach before: the grandeur, the desire to obtain something better, for which the method of access is the figure of Felix. I do understand that the relationship he had with him is complex, but I think the film is very clear towards the end about how the feelings Oliver has towards his family are to use them as a form of social mobility, i.e. just as a bridge to reach what would otherwise have been an impossibility. › ❝When the social instinct feels invaded by envy, it turns to self-hatred, to the feeling of devaluing oneself in continuous comparison with others and the subsequent feeling of inadequacy in relation to the group to which one belongs or to which one wishes to belong❞. Throughout the film, Oliver makes a series of comparisons in which he is always in the inferior position to Felix. This is a way to attract the counterpart and to be able to carry out his plan to conquer what he does not have. That is to say, it is more related to the second part of the previous description: Oliver feels inadequate in the group to which he wishes to belong at some point, which is concretized through a series of distinctions and devaluations that he makes towards his own persona. This is an impoverished self-image, which is obsessed with the social and symbolic place he occupies within a hierarchy of power in which he, irremediably, is the victim. Trying to reverse that situation is precisely Oliver's arc in Saltburn and that is why this character aligns so well with the neurosis of a SO4. It is a constant comparison with external elements of the world, which seem to persistently devalue him and compulsively show him that he is less than the social group around him. › ❝Like all E4, the social has a tendency to make continuous comparisons between himself and the other. He constantly worries about himself and always loses out; not infrequently he is very hard on himself and can have a punitive and contemptuous attitude towards himself. The social aspect is represented precisely by the gaze directed at what is outside him, the continuous confrontation with the outside world, which leads him to maintain a constant focus on what he lacks❞. Obsessing with what he lacks is the basis of a character like Oliver and the emotional qualm that motivates his true intentions in the movie. He is totally in touch with his position in the symbolic pyramid that is Saltburn and the society as a whole, which explains the reason he is so obsessed with reaching the luxurious way of life that the Catton family has. The current consensus, Sexual Four, becomes inadequate when we take that into consideration: as explained in the Enneagram Four book, one of the main contrasts between these two subtypes is that the Sexual Four tries to go against his envy through a destructive and violent attitude, while the SO4 remains in the sphere of lamentation and is flooded in his feeling of inadequacy.
