Vivien Leigh MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Vivien Leigh? Vivien Leigh is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sx/so - 478 in Enneagram, SLOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.
When seeing her next to Marlon Brando (a high Fi user) in a Streetcar named desire, her Fe is obvious. While he is method acting, basing his character on spontaneous feelings and by mirroring the characters emotions in himself, she is playing very much the way most actors portrayed their characters at that time. She is a bit prone to overacting, being highly versatile in her mannerisms and good at putting on a mask and playing a character with all their external eccentricity, but lacks the emotional depth of Brando. She is more focused on playing by societies standards at that time, than bringing her personal feelings to the table and more focused on portraying an archetype (in this case the tragic southern Belle), which indicates Fe/Ni. The character Blanche that is also an Enfj at this play, was said to resemble her in many ways. Just like her Vivien was prone to acting theatrical and almost hysterical with her emotions, not keeping them to herself and suffering silently like most Fi users would do, she was always highly expressive about her feelings and had a tendency to always play a certain role, there while loosing herself in the process. She also struggled with her tendency to life in fancy fantasies rather than facing reality as it is, showing a clear repression of her Se, which can happen in Enfjs.
