Mrs. Bennet MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Mrs. Bennet? Mrs. Bennet is an ESFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - so/sp - 631 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, in Socionics.
Edit- changed my mind. She's a self-preservation 2. I had fallen in to the classic trap of mistaking anxiety issues+ self preservation security concerns with being a 6, and her image based behaviour as disintergration to 3. Far too entitled, assertive, emotion and image driven to be a 6. Yes, she has a lot of 3 type behaviours (6 goes to 3 under stress) with her constant social climbing and liking for finer things, but underlying it all is a pervasive anxiety that her family will be left without security and support unless she can obtain good marriages for her daughters. A person's response to conflict/disappointment can also indicate their ennegram- 3s being logical, 6s reactive. I think we all know what describes Mrs B the best.
Biography
Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Bennet’s wife, is silly, shallow, and interested only in getting her daughters married to wealthy men. She favors her youngest daughter, Lydia, but she also takes a great amount of pride in the beauty and grace of her eldest daughter, Jane. Mrs. Bennet shows contempt towards Elizabeth, often pointing out Elizabeth’s flaws in beauty and manner as compared to Jane's. Mrs. Bennet constantly seeks out attention and adds to the Bennet family’s continuous embarrassment in social situations. However, for all of her flaws, Mrs. Bennet’s concerns about her daughters’ futures are valid. As opposed to Mr. Bennet, who largely ignores the problem, Mrs. Bennet actively encourages her daughters to marry so that they will be financially stable when their father passes away. Her aggressive pursuit of suitors for her daughters, while comical, is also a manifestation of the very well-founded concern that they will end up destitute and with no prospects.
