Prince Charming MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Prince Charming? Prince Charming is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - so/sx - 279 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
I'm not typing him as an ESFP based on that one window-jumping scene but because of his behavior in Cinderella (1950). In the movie the King highlighted his nature with his lines of "My son has been avoiding his responsibilities long enough...it's high time he married and settled down." When the Grand Duke recommended that they "be patient" or "let him alone" the king flew into a rage since he knew that wouldn't work with Charming as he was far too adventurous and strong-willed with is Se, opting to not conform to his duties unless absolutely necessary. While meeting some of the ladies in the kingdom at the ball, Charming didn't attempt to hide is yawn, visibly expressing to his father his apparent boredom and exhaustion with the whole matter (Fi). When he caught sight of Cinderella, his SeFi led him to walk straight past all the girls/pay them no heed in order to introduce himself to her. He then ended up spending the entire night speaking to her. When The King noticed that Charming showed an interest in Cinderella and expressed his desire to marry her, he excitedly said "Haha we GOT HIM" again alluding to the fact that Charming wasn't really one for falling into structures that were required of him or sacrificing his freedom often for royal duties. It took someone special for him to change his ways and finally agree to marriage like his father wanted. After the ball when the Grand Duke noted that Cinderella got away, the King completely lost it and said "you were in league with the Prince all along" and "THE WHOLE THING WAS A PLOT" inferring that it was in Charming's nature to be one of those adventure-loving princes who wanted nothing to do with settling down, often outwitting his father in order to escape his responsibilities. Marrying Cinderella was his crucial interest since he fell in love with her authentically and it wasn't for the sake of his father's Fi. Although The King never understood his "silly romantic ideas", Charming wanted to find his true love genuinely, even if it seemed excessive or "ridiculous" to others around him. If he was an Fe dom (ENFJ or ESFJ) then I think he would have tried to appease his father and fulfilled his duties, even if it wasn't what he personally wanted. I also don’t think he would have yawned while the ladies in the land were being introduced and completely walking out to meet Cinderella, ignoring the consequences/how it would be viewed by the crowd. Based on those descriptions in Cinderella (1950) I think he has more of an Se dom nature.
