Minerva "Minnie" MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Minerva "Minnie"? Minerva "Minnie" is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - sp/sx - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
It's funny how she has the same type as Louis, but it makes the absolute most sense, not just in terms of how she was remembered by Violet (vocalist who dreamed about touring the country with Marlon), but also how she acts in the story towards Clementine and the Ericson kids. Te-tertiary, makes her susceptible to group-think; "You all need to understand. This is the only way. Lay down, stay in line, or you die. The people you love die. If you just do what they say, you can live. All of you. You can have a nice life, be rewarded. Just like I am." This is very Te. She only focuses on outward causality, not on the moral or inner significance of the event or act itself. Reward follows submission, disobedience is followed by death. That's all that matters to her. Ni inferior, no foresight at all. Just kills her sister to save herself in the moment regardless of whether she could actually live with the decision or not. Does this again with Tenn. She's a super unhealthy ESFP but part of the tragedy is that her cognitive functions made her such an easy target for manipulation by the Delta. According to Lilly, "One of the girls saw that this was a place worth fighting for, and her tears dried. But the other twin, she could never forget her old home." Se users hate being deprived of new experiences so Lilly's testimony that Minnie bought into the reward system of the Delta quicker than her sister, who constantly rebelled against their dominance despite being repeatedly punished, makes total sense. Sophie, being Minnie's sister, was still able to convince her to escape, but they were both caught, and Lilly gave Minnie a choice. She can either die, or kill her sister to show them that her true family is the Delta. Instead of choosing the ultimate end to all new experiences, the hell of the Se user, death, she impulsively chose the second option without thinking about the fact that all her new experiences would be forever tainted and ruined by her memory of betraying her sister in the moment where her loyalty mattered the most. If she were a healthy ESFP, I'm wondering how differently her place in the story would have been (if her sister were somehow still alive by S4). I'll write something about this later.
