Agatha Christie MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Agatha Christie? Agatha Christie is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 5w4 - sx/sp - 548 in Enneagram, RCUEI in Big 5, ILI in Socionics.
She really had a knack for recognizing patterns in the society she lived in (Ni). Her characters are almost like Jungian archetypes (Ti-Fe): you can actually see the same tropes cropping up in many of her books. For example, there's often a firm, competent woman (IxTJ) with a "weak" or overemotional husband (IxFP); a former military man who is obsessed with order (ESTJ); an aristocrat who is slumming it (ExTP); people who think England is going down the drain (xSxJ); a weird rich woman who's really into astrology and other new-age stuff (ExFP); and a conscientious maid (ISFJ). The fun in reading her books is that she played around with how these archetypes interacted with one another, and which one committed the murder. (Funnily, you can also see many of them in Knives Out as well, although they're updated for the present day.) The actual murders almost always happen "offscreen," so to speak, and there's little action in her books (low Se). Instead, she emphasizes the psychological aspect. Poirot, for example, often has almost no hard evidence for his theories; rather, he relies upon his understanding of the characters' personalities and motivations for his reveals. In Christie's world, the murderers are so stunned and devastated by the accuracy of his psychoanalysis that they usually just admit to everything.
