Personality

What personality type is Scarlet Benoit? Scarlet Benoit is an ESTP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sx/so - 874 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.

Scarlet analysis here we go !! First, MBTI ! She's a Jungian SeTeFiNi and a Myers ESTP. To prove my point, here is a part of Gifts Differing, book by Isabel Myers-Briggs : «ESTPs make decisions with thinking rather than feeling and therefore are more aware of the logical consequences of an act or decision. Thinking gives ESTPs a better grasp of underlying principles [...] and makes it easier for them to get tough when the situation calls for toughness. In dealing with mechanical and other concrete problems, they are solid and practical and avoid complexity. In straightforward matters, their judgment is accurate and reliable. They tend to prefer action to conversation. The more directly a matter can be translated into action, the clearer and more effective they become. When they do sit around, it is in an attitude of friendly readiness to do almost any pleasurable thing.» ESFP's are described as much more friendly than Scarlet never shows herself to be. I recommend you to read the book. Next we go into enneagram. It is much more present in her actions than her MBTI. The page is correct but I wanted to inform people because some of the reasoning isn't it haha. So after Lusty Thorne let's get into Lusty Scarlet ! As I remind in every of my analysis, enneagram isn't trauma, it is a cognitive functioning, it is defense mechanism, a passion, traits, and a whole system you cannot just "type vibe". First, a little intro of E8 : «Type 8 represents the archetype of the person who denies weakness and vulnerability by taking refuge in fearlessness, power, and strength.» «The 8 personality expresses an “acorn self” lookalike: an automatic ego reaction opposing any limitations on their instinctual drives. This auto-rebellion against the rules of society or established authority (like those expressed by the Type One archetype) is not free and spontaneous. Naranjo clarifies that this archetype’s basis in “counter-repression” and always siding with and defending desires can, in a paradoxical way, make Type 8 rigidly intolerant of constraints.» I feel like, in contrary of Thorne who has an hungry 8, extremly sexual and driven by new things, Scarlet shows a 8 that has an auto-rebellion against others. If you take it literally, in reality, you'll see that the two of them despite the Thorne charm are quite loners but not scared of talking. I think to understand Scarlet, you really have to go in the E8's wound : «Many Eights report having grown up in combative or conflict-heavy environments in which they had to grow up fast to survive. Most were unable to maintain a sense of childlike innocence because they were either deprived or not sufficiently protected as children—often in the face of some sort of violence or neglect.» Scarlet childhood is known to have been quite hard with her father and her grandmother, even if she finished to be a parent figure, wasn't the most accomodating with her. In "The Enneagram Guide for Waking Up", Beatrice does explain that, hence the E8 child didn't perceive the attention they needed, they started fighting, ARGUING, to receive what they deserve. Expressing anger becomes the easy way, the fast way to express yourself. People might be scared, but at least you have respect ; you are humanized. Let's get into instincts, for traits, coping mechanisms and passion I invite you to read Thorne's analysis. It seems like Scarlet is a social 8. Her anger is driven by protection. Here are some parts to explain myself better : «According to Naranjo, this individual’s main drive is for something like loyalty. The Social 8 subtype is the most intellectual of the three, but these 8 also rebel against the dominant (patriarchal) culture.» «This is someone who bands together with the mother and goes against the patriarchal power and all that is associated with it: violence out of solidarity.» «They express lust and aggression in the service of life and other people.» And here is her grandmother and her relationship. If it wasn't decisive for Scarlet, and if she wasn't E8 wired since young she would have NEVER gone to Paris, and, reminder, that she initially didn't care of going alone. Her plans are made quick and depending of what she sees, but she's, moreover, clearly gut driven (E8 are on gut triad, in 8 case it means she acts then thinks). If who she loves is in danger, she'll act right away. Aside, I'd see her as a so/sx 8 since she has a high egoistical drive. And ego grandiosity. A six, as Ze'ev, was thinking every way the Paris trip would go(wrong), prepared to everything. Scarlet needed her needs meet, and so, went blindly to the wolf's lair. Social 8 are the most intellectual, in Winter, while Thorne goes all victorious about going to rescue Cinder and Ze'ev, Scarlet stops him recognizing the lack of whatever strategy and you'll see their differences there only.
