What personality type is Lord Dominator? Lord Dominator is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sx - 873 in Enneagram, SLOEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.
I have to wonder if most of the people insisting that she isn't an ENTJ are saying this because they don't have the full picture of how this character ticks. That being said, though, I know far less about personality types than the rest of you, so I fully believe there's a decent chance that I was wrong about her being an ENTJ, I'm just unsure that everyone here's as informed about her character as they should be in order to make an accurate assessment of her personality type... E.g., I don't think I've seen anyone bring up just how *meticulously* she plans out the destruction she wreaks on the galaxy. A major part of her charcater is that she shares each of the other four main character's greatest strengths with them, only she's greater than (if not equal to) them in each area. She's tougher than Sylvia, more cunning than Peepers, more evil than Hater, and her love and enthusiasm for doing evil rivals Wander's love and enthusiasm for doing good. When it comes to her parallels with Wander, she's basically "the evil version of him", and in keeping with the fact that she's supposed to be "greater" than the other mains in ways that are central to their characters, she's also been noted by the writers as being "several steps ahead of everybody," which trumps how Wander is known to usually be *one* step ahead of everybody. It's why Lord Dominator is able to pull off so many evil feats so "effortlessly." It's not that she barely has to try because 'she's just so great', it's that she makes focused, detailed plans of action ahead of most everything she does. An episode that would've given us a up-close look at this was considered for a time when the crew was making S2, but it was ultimately scrapped since it would've involved Peepers leaving Lord Hater to work for Lord Domiantor, making its premise contradictory to those episodes in the first chunk of season 2 that dealt with the two 'splitting up' and learning just how much they need each other. The matter of Lord Domiantor being a crazy-prepared strategist still exists in the show, however, it's just never addressed all that directly! The facts that she knew that the "ring of invincibility" was a fake, had a seemingly rehearsed villain song ready to go in the musical ep, knew to target the planet that the other four mains were on in her debut, and so on, all allude to how she likes to thorougly strategize game plans before jumping into situations. It's one of the things that makes her so indomitable a villain! She's even shown in the cold tag for the season 1 finale, watching Hater, Peepers, Wander, and Sylvia get up to their usual antics... and multiple episodes in season 2 show her keeping eyes on her targeted "dorks", too, to the point that she has scouts tracking the things they get up to. Heck, the finale even has a scene of her talking about how dominating a new galaxy means 'meeting' new people and "figuring out the RIGHT ways to crush their spirits!" We never got an episode dedicated to *really* showing off just how laser-focused she is on targeting the other mains and devastating the entire galaxy, but the effects of her being like that are still relevant and felt. Episodes like The Night Out and The End of the Galaxy showcased what Dominator's like when she jumps into something *without* any real forethought. It's so unlike her preferred M.O. that we even see her stuttering awkwardly in the former ep when Sylvia just asks for her name and if she would like to hang out - two things that Dominator never considered might happen that night... she didn't really plan for *anything* in specific that night! These eps also showed things easily falling apart for her when she's running on pure impulse. She's decently adaptable in unexpected situations because of how experienced she is with- well, everything she does, but when she's FULLY operating without any sort of contingency plans - let alone an overall plan of action for what she should generally expect - she doesn't really get anywhere far, much less "unstoppably overkill." The whole reason she ends up losing in the finale is because she forgeoes making plans to dominate a new galaxy in favor of letting impulse take the wheel so she can spend some more time in the best galaxy she's ever annihilated. Behaving that way is the *exception* to how she usually operates, not the norm! She likes coming up with plans for all the things most likely to go down and letting her insane amounts of self-confidence assure her that she can handle anything else that might get thrown her way because she doesn't see anyone in the galaxy as a threat. To her, that's not just being smart/strategic/well-prepared, it's being overkill, and Lord Dominator is all ABOUT overkill!! She's a dominator, how could she not be!? It guarentees that she'll be as dominating and indomitable as she already sees herself. She REALLY isn't a "go with the flow" type!
