Chase Hollow MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Chase Hollow? Chase Hollow is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - so/sx - in Enneagram, in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
ENFP for sure - he is clearly directed by his Dominant Ne. In many episodes, we see his quick thought process in problem-solving (see Toffee Break VI/ep 23 as an example). He quickly musters a solution as to how to solve the problem at hand, at which Deacon says "How did you know she would save him?" and Chase responds "I didn't, but I had a hunch." He explains his thought process, which demonstrates his proficiency in reading between the lines and his people-reading skills. In this arc, we see the disparity between his and Deacon's thought processes. While Deacon works more with linear thinking and organized plans, Chase follows his intuition of *what could be* the best approach, working with his perception - many times unorganized, but undoubtedly more creative. He is very directed toward the future, optimistic and, at times, naive. In almost every arc, there is at least one scene of him daydreaming about the future and its possibilities. He doesn't have a "plan" for it, mostly working for it as it comes. Even if his interests seem more physical and tangible (dancing, music, fashion, etc., which is a stereotype for ESFPs), this does not mean he is a Se Dom. Se users are usually more grounded, appreciating the present over future possibilities. Also, Chase is constantly distracted by his own thoughts, to the point of ignoring things around him, which is rather uncommon for Se Doms. The Aux Fi is obvious - the dude is absurdly connected to his feelings, and they dictate his goals, but not in such a way that negates Ne dom, as his values are more flexible than a Fi dom's. Fi doms usually have a more guarded personality as a way to protect their values and avoid criticism. They perceive their reality through their feelings before leaping into action; ENFPs do the opposite. His values are strong, and he puts them above harmony with others (see his relationship with his aunt as an example, and his fight with Deacon in Toffee Break - his stubbornness in recognizing Deacon's perspective is a great example as well). This rules out ENFJ as well. He also fills out the ENFP bingo, so there's that - dude is a complete manic pixie girl (boy?). Can relate. For enneagram: 7w8 - by the Enneagram Institute: "Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming overextended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied. [...] The root of their problem is common to all of the types of the Thinking Center: they are out of touch with the inner guidance and support of their Essential nature. As with Fives and Sixes, this creates deep anxiety in Sevens. They do not feel that they know what to do or how to make choices that will be beneficial to themselves and others. Sevens cope with this anxiety in two ways. First, they try to keep their minds busy all the time. As long as Sevens can keep their minds occupied, especially with projects and positive ideas for the future, they can, to some extent, keep anxiety and negative feelings out of conscious awareness. Likewise, since their thinking is stimulated by activity, Sevens are compelled to stay on the go, moving from one experience to the next, searching for more stimulation. This is not to say that Sevens are 'spinning their wheels.' They generally enjoy being practical and getting things done." This can be seen throughout the whole series. It is clear his impulsivity is also a way to cope with his feelings of lack of autonomy in his life's ordeals - he can't help his mother, he is subdued by his family members, he is isolated in a small town with no money or connections to follow his dreams - this leads him to make mistakes and overexert himself (seen in all of the Sick Day arc and the beginning of Beach Boys). He copes with this (and also masks this anxiety) by focusing on his enjoyment and keeping an upbeat persona. I will write more later of his enneagram wing (im not sure yet of it, but i think it might be 8, he is not the most security driven person, and his tritype is still incognito to me)
