Willy Wonka MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Willy Wonka? Willy Wonka is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sp/sx - 479 in Enneagram, SLUEI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Willy Wonka is eccentric and creative. He constantly thinks of new ideas: candy or ice-cream that doesn’t melt, teleporting chocolate, mint grass… Being down-to-earth is not his priority and he uses actual whips to make whipped cream. He often acts enthusiastic. Introverted Feeling (Fi): Wonka does whatever feels right to him. He fires hundreds of innocent employees and replaces them with Oompa-Lumpas he pays with cocoa beans (slavery, anyone?). He wants to give a special price to the less rotten of the five kids and he doesn’t show much compassion when bad things happen to the brats. Also, he suggests Charlie to leave his family at ten and he feels surprised when the kid, who happens to be a healthy Fe user, prefers to stick with his family. Willy Wonka’s Fi is really unhealthy. Extroverted Thinking (Te): Running a big factory needs a lot of work and organization. There are deadlines to be met, employees to be “paid”, choices to be made… Willy Wonka doesn’t look like the everyday businessman yet his business is successful and the “employees” obey him, which suggests he has some leadership skills. Introverted Sensing (Si): Wonka doesn’t want to admit it but he still thinks of his past and he somehow misses his dad. He started a chocolate factory because he wasn’t allowed to eat chocolate as a kid. Eventually, Charlie, who is a dominant Si user, helps him to reconcile with his memories while Willy helps Charlie develop his Ne. All ends well!
Biography
This youthful-looking fellow is at least as brilliant as any of his other incarnations when it comes to sweetmaking, but unlike them is completely lacking in social skills and graces to the point that even the Golden Ticket finders come off as more mature than he. His arrested development stems from a heartbreaking experience in his past that he has never quite been able to put behind him — and is coloring what he wants from a successor in the present.
