Elizabeth Bennet MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Elizabeth Bennet? Elizabeth Bennet is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - so/sp - 714 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.

Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most clear Fi users I’ve ever seen, I’m at a loss to see why she is anything different. Yeah, she’s polite and she’s smart, that’s about it. But what really defines Elizabeth’s character? It’s the fact that she listens to her own values, and her personal values are extremely important to her. It’s literally the common theme throughout the entire book. Why did she reject Mr. Collins’ marriage proposal? Because of her personal values, her own individual idea of what love and marriage should be, and she stood by those values even though it didn’t really make sense to deny his proposal from a societal perspective. She could not understand why Charlotte would accept Collins’ proposal because she views the world through this lens of personal value; Charlotte’s decision on the other hand *was* based on logic. Her faults, her prejudice, is fully Fi as well, they’re not rational judgements she makes, they are based on her own, subjective values, on feeling. Her development as a character comes from her developing her Te, beginning to see things objectively and truthfully, and to not be so harsh in her Fi judgements without thinking rationally. There’s so much stereotyping here and completely misunderstanding the whole book here, it’s just kind of sad.

Biography

Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine of Pride and Prejudice, is the second-eldest Bennet daughter. She is intelligent, spirited, and opinionated. Elizabeth is closest to her older sister, Jane, and serves as a foil to Jane’s innocent and trusting character. Upon Elizabeth’s and Mr. Darcy’s first meeting, he calls Elizabeth “tolerable . . . but not handsome enough to tempt me,” wounding her pride and spurring her prejudice against him.
