Kimmy Schmidt MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Kimmy Schmidt? Kimmy Schmidt is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - so/sx - 721 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.
The social 2w3 consensus is mind boggling… when does she care about presenting an influential/successful image and maintaining power and control in social situations (social 2 traits)? If she were ever to be rightfully typed as a 2, she’d have to be a self-pres 2. But, given that she has no alignment with the vice nor trait structure of a 2, there is no “rightful” 2 typing for her. Putting others before yourself and wanting to help them isn’t restricted to 2s, and definitely not all a 2 is. And, on top of her just not being a 2 core, the social variant being so unanimous is just so puzzling. The social 7 does fit Kimmy quite well, so I could possibly understand the confusion surrounding her being a sx7 or so7. But I don’t necessarily believe Kimmy actively fought against her gluttony. Although she exhibits many of the kind and generous so7 traits, she only does so because it aligns with the actions that ensue because of her engagement in gluttony. Therefore sexual 7 is more accurate. It is now a matter of sexual 7 vs social two. Here are some quotes for both. Sexual seven: “Sexual Sevens are dreamers with a need to imagine something better than stark, ordinary reality. These Sevens have a passion for embellishing everyday reality, for being too enthusiastic, and for idealizing things and seeing the world as better than it actually is. Their gluttony gets expressed as a need for idealization.” “Sexual Sevens are not as interested in the things of this world as they are in the things of a more highly advanced dimension. They look at the sky as an escape from the earth; they are more “heavenly” than “earthy.” People with this subtype are light-hearted enjoyers with a need to dream and to idealize and embellish the ordinary. In line with this tendency, they can be very idealistic and somewhat naive.” >> Kimmy uses her imagination to great extremes in every episode. She is constantly imagining a more fantastical and embellished version of reality and often uses her imagination as a form of escapism which is very common in the sexual 7. A great example of this is when Kimmy quite literally escapes into her mind and imagines being a princess (I believe? I need to refresh my memory) when she feels stressed. Now, I’ll compare it to the social 2 description, her current consensus: “The Social Two is a seducer of environments–someone who is good in front of groups; a more adult, leader type. In contrast to the other Two subtypes, the Social Two appears as a powerful or intellectual person. This Two has a passion for power, and their pride is expressed through having influence and advantages and cultivating an image of being an influential person.” Again, need I explain why this is not Kimmy AT ALL? Not sure how so many people completely missed the mark on this typing. My guess is lack of understanding, which is unfortunate, yet understandable. I suspect many people still don’t understand the correlation and codependency that exists between enneagram and instinctual variants. They are connected and that must be respected.
