Lana Lang MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Lana Lang? Lana Lang is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w1 - so/sp - 296 in Enneagram, in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Okay, I’ve finally put all my thoughts together for a argument for ISFJ 9w1 so/sp. ~Instinctual Variants~ { so 9>>>so 2} I do agree with Lana being a so/sp but she doesn’t really scream a so 2. “Once the social instinct meets the Pride of a 2, it transforms said pride into someone who is often referred to as a social climber…They are the coldest and most intellectual 2, as to go out and conquer you need to know how to use your mind, for this reason they like to be seen as people of reference. Because of this, their seduction comes from the intellectual, they are also very efficient in working with people, being great with networking and interacting in the social sphere. They are also often counter-dependent, meaning rather than being dependent on others and acting the way the other wants them to, they are the ones to push others into playing the court for them.” This isn’t Lana. While Lana was Whitney(the popular quarterback)’s girlfriend in S1 and was considered popular, she never relished in it or showed it off. She was simply with Whitney because she liked him, not because of his status; she’s not the social climber type. Another thing that is that Lana’s whole character development through the first 4 seasons was about her coming into her own and getting comfortable in her own skin. This whole being “counter-dependent” thing was not at all an aspect of Lana. In S1, Lana quits from cheerleading because she realizes she was doing it because her aunt wanted her to or so that she could support Whitney as the “perfect cheerleader girlfriend to the quarterback”. Lana has a hard time standing on her own and being comfortable with her self; it’s not natural for her. “…By postponing their own needs and doing what is expected of them, the social 9 makes their psychological inertia stronger, making it harder for them to come in touch with themselves and know who they truly are. They tend towards modesty and discretion and will do whatever as long as the group is in harmony.” ~ISFJ>>INFJ~ Lana has a continual struggle with the past. She draws strength from it but views it as her weakness. She wants to break away from this “sad girl who lost her parents in the meteor shower” but still holds onto the past by wearing a necklace with a piece of kryptonite in remembrance of her parents, finding strength in it from her aunt’s words: “life is about change. Sometimes it’s painful, sometimes it’s beautiful, most of the time it’s both.” She feels this expectation to be this girl but, really, it’s an internal struggle. She has a strong pull to her past(Si) but a longing to move forward and grow(Ne). In S1, she would frequently visit her parents’ graves and talk, in some sort of effort to connect to them. In S3, she admits to Clark that she feels guilty ‘cause she started to visit her parents’ graves less and less. There’s an interchange of those feelings as she begins to get comfortable in her own skin.
