Envy MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Envy? Envy is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - sp/sx - 279 in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
I understand that this Envy doesn't look like the typical envy spoken of in the Enneagram. However, there is honestly no logical justification for she being an E2, no matter how "positive", "childish", "nice" she may look on the surface. E2 is a type of PRIDE, its neurotic pattern is based on the need to be loved by others, to seduce, fascinate, grace, to become that for which others would like to love, care, respect and give their love and admiration. In this way, the E2 satisfies your need to feel appreciated, loved and needed. Furthermore, E2 is a type that is described as a giver par excellence, this is because he or she considers that they have a lot to give given their false abundance, fueled by their idea of being a priceless treasure that has the "obligation" and the "duty" to support and give to others what they have left over. Now, Envy admires and is fascinated by the physical or social qualities of OTHERS, but NOT her own. At no point do we see her feel proud of herself for possessing certain traits, attitudes, or particular position. Also, Envy doesn't seek to seduce, nourish, fascinate (others fascinate her, big difference here), but is easily attracted to things that seem pretty or cool to her. This is more in relation to the Mental Gluttony of the E7, and more precisely the sexual E7, seeking and being attracted to everything that stimulates them on an imaginative level. "Sexual Seven — "Suggestibility" Individuals with the Sexual Seven subtype are gluttons for things of the higher world-for optimistically seeing things as they could be in the ideal world of their imaginations. 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 naïve." https://www.ashliewoods.com/enneagram-sexual-seven#:~:text=Sexual%20Sevens%20are%20dreamers%20with,better%20than%20it%20actually%20is. But, why imaginative? Well, because that's what this Envy is like: she simply makes Riley want something, for that her eyes are so big and her aspect such as a little child, and then it's Anxiety that motivates Riley to achieve that desire. Envy here seems to motivate in Riley an incredible and unrealistic idea of what she needs. Here E4 seems to be present in some way or another, whose neurotic pattern is to feel that they were not given what others were given, since they deeply feel a false internal lack because they are constantly comparing themselves with others. "The Enneatype 4 character has as their passion Envy, which looks at what others' have and creates a desirous feeling for them, and as their fixation, False-deficiency, which is an existential viewpoint that convinces them that they are inherently less than others, especially for not having what they have. Being situated at the bottom of the Enneagram with E5, this is an especially existential and "over-ontic" character who deliberates every psychological affect in consciousness, so it is based on feelings of lacking. The types at the top fall asleep to their lack, the types at the bottom do the same, but try to compensate for it by trying to overfocus on it." https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/enneatype-4-the-individualist This is what Envy always does: she compares herself to others and then implants an intense desire in Rilye's psyche. E2 may feel threatened when he or she perceives that others receive attention and it is not only for him or her, but always from the key idea that they "are the only ones who deserve all the love in the world" and don't consider the luck or fortune of others but based on the fact that they only enjoy the privilege of being kings or queens. "The ego cycle that exists as the fundamental base of this character is Pride and False-abundance, the former being the passion (motivation) and the latter being the fixation (cognitive distortion) which perpetuates the passion. What is meant by Pride is a sense of fantastical self-aggrandizement to make the self-image appear greater than it really is, simultaneously obscuring the E2's knowledge of their own limits and boundaries. This creates a sense of privilege and entitlement, it lacks a notion of boundaries, becoming limitless in its self-perception. It does this because of a fear pushed." https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/enneatype-2-the-helper
