Miranda Priestly MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Miranda Priestly? Miranda Priestly is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sp/so - 316 in Enneagram, SCOEI in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
I understand that she is such a stereotype of an ENTJ by being bossy, commanding, controlling and disregarding individual emotional nuances, but there is an interesting scene on the movie that showcases her repressed Fi and I didn’t see anybody talking about it yet around here. So let me talk about it. Being a workaholic to avoid dealing with her negative feelings is such a Te-dom/Fi-inf decision to make. She did that after she broke up with her husband. Miranda submit her negative emotions to goals achievements instead of actually navigating and dealing with these emotions, instead of trying to overcome them and become a happier person from deep inside of herself. Her life is always about work goals. In addition, her main decisions of her life revolves around avoiding her negative feelings by focusing on the outside metrics of her achievements instead of actually dealing with the deeper emotions (which is also aligned on focusing on work again). We can notice in the end of the movie a scene where she and Andy were inside a car and she was telling Andy that everybody wants to “be Miranda”, so it doesn’t make sense to become sad in such a situation. I can also see the E3 here, focusing on vanity and her external image instead of focusing on her inner deeper emotions (again). That is also aligned with the repressed Fi of ENTJ. Also, the parallel with Andy is pretty Interesting. After noticing that “Fi-inf decision” from Miranda, Andy (ENFP) decided that Miranda was not an inspiration like she was before to herself, then she decided to quit the job to focus on having a healthy relationship with her boyfriend, which is such a Fi > Te decision to make… And Andy showed a fantastic improvement of Te throughout this fantastic movie, but decided Fi on her biggest decision, which shows why MBTI cognitive functions stack is not about capacity of using them, but about the natural preference. The biggest plot twist in the end of the movie is that now that’s Andy who become Miranda's inspiration. Why? Because Miranda admired the Fi > Te decision that Andy made for her life, which was pretty much very brave. Andy quit the job while being at the top of it because it was not making her truly happy. PLOT TWIST!
