Therese Belivet MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Therese Belivet? Therese Belivet is an INFP personality type in MBTI, 9w1 - sx/sp - 945 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, IEI in Socionics.
Ms. Belivet here shows next to none of the core 4 fixations, fears, or desires, outside of wanting to further pursue her passions and overall feel more free and expressive of herself. But that would be stupid to use attach the 4 label to her with as 1. everyone wants happiness to an extent and to do the things they love, regardless of enneagram. It could be more chalked up to her Fi and, 2. Wanting to be more expressive, free, and alive is mostly Therese wanting to be freed of the shackles of her unpleasant, unfufilling heterosexual relations. Both Abby and especially Carol want too, and she's FAR from a 9. Therese expresses far more people pleasing, self effacing almost to the point of self "lost" and escapist behaviors more prominent of 9 cores. Sx 9 specifically because of the merging into those close to her. I'd see ISFJ as a considerable MBTI vote for her too because of this, if her Fi wasn't so abundantly clear. She's struggled all her life with not knowing what she wants or at least not knowing how to assert what she wants, or do it in a way that completely satisfies this life she's supposed to be happy with. And that's even outside of her sexuality, although very intertwined with it. This life of hers has been clearly force-fed to her, in a way that made Therese feel for a long time that it was what was good for her or even want she wanted as it was something she could merely tolerate, or even liked a little. But once her true desires came in through Carol, she's starting to know there's more to life than this. She can choose for herself, say no, and STILL be happy and satisfied. Just look at these quotes from the movie - "I mean he'd like to marry me" "And would you like to marry him?" "Well...I barely even know what to order for lunch" (this was after ordering the exact same thing Carol did) - "I'm sorry" (just in general throughout the movie) - "It's all my fault" (after Abby comes to pick Therese up after Carol left the motel) - "I'm utterly selfish and I...should've said no to you, but I never say no. And it's selfish because I just take everything and I don't know anything, and I don't know what I want, and how could I when all I ever do is say yes to everything?" (this is before Carol and Therese leave the previous hotel after confronting that guy Harge hired to spy on them. Therese was saying all dis in the car) "You made me buy boat tickets!"🤓🤓 ."I got a better job for you, I asked you to marry me, for Christ sakes" (Richard arguing with Therese for wanting to go on that trip with Carol) "I never made you, I never asked you for anything. Maybe that's the problem..." (during that same argument)
