Caroline Bingley MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Caroline Bingley? Caroline Bingley is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - sp/so - 316 in Enneagram, RCOEN in Big 5, in Socionics.

She kinda reminds me of Mrs Minchin, another ESTJ villain, as well as Blanche Ingram in Jane Eyre(another negative ESTJ character). At least she was wise enough, in the end, to act politely towards Elizabeth to compensate for her past rudeness.

Biography

Caroline Bingley, Mr. Bingley’s sister, is a haughty and worldly woman of fashion. Caroline looks down on the Bennet family and the people residing in the countryside near Meryton, but she begins a shallow friendship with Jane Bennet for the sake of her brother, Mr. Bingley. Although supportive of her brother, she disapproves of Mr. Bingley’s courtship of Jane, and she works with Mr. Darcy and Mr. and Mrs. Hurst to separate them. Caroline tries and fails to court Mr. Darcy, who rejects her at every turn. Caroline becomes jealous of Elizabeth Bennet due to Mr. Darcy’s interest in her, often resorting to petty insults that rankle both Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Though mortified by Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy’s marriage, she is ultimately forced to set aside her resentment in order to maintain such a valuable acquaintance.
