Viola MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Viola? Viola is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w7 - sx/sp - in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.
I believe Viola is witty and eloquent INFJ. Such a delightful character with immense amount of charm that possess such a good-humored nature (the best character in this play in my opinion). She is so good in reading people's emotions. For example I would give how she immediately understand the hidden subtext of the ring that Olivia send to her "back" and we can trace Viola's flow of thoughts in the beautiful monologue in Act 2, scene 2: "...She loves me, sure! The cunning of her passion Invites me in this churlish messenger. None of my lord’s ring? Why, he sent her none! I am the man. If it be so, as ’tis, Poor lady, she were better love a dream. Disguise, I see thou art a wickedness Wherein the pregnant enemy does much. How easy is it for the proper false In women’s waxen hearts to set their forms! Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we, For such as we are made of, such we be." I can see her as a person with deeply beliefs and an ability to act decisively to get what she want. Even though she is in love with the duke, she is loyal in her missions when she tries to win Lady Olivia's love for him. Also the way she talks, her imagination is vivid, she uses plenty of metaphors and unusual parallels, incredibly poetic use of words. Her monologues are some of the most memorables in Twelfth Night. Off-topic - I ship Viola and Olivia so hard, their dialogues are so funny and clever, it's such a pleasure to read them, these ladies have great chemistry!!
