Personality

What personality type is Victoria “V.E.“ Schwab? Victoria “V.E.“ Schwab is an INTJ personality type in MBTI, 4w5 - sx/sp - 583 in Enneagram, in Big 5, in Socionics.

Honestly, I don't think core 5 or 4 fit her very well. It's unusual but I think she fits a lot of the characteristics of 3s. Mostly it's due to her emotional expressivity. A 5 might feel the emotions that she commonly expresses but it's unlikely that they would be so forthright. The other thing to note is emotions =/= Feelers. Feeling functions are distinguished from affect (emotions). Jung himself mentions this. Thirdly, being in the Heart Triad of the enneagram would exaggerate any emotionality and override Thinkers' tendency to disregard (at underdeveloped levels) or de-prioritise emotional data (at average or more developed levels). In short, you can be a Thinker and emotional, and I've seen that a lot with 3s (usually ExTPs and TJs). With that in mind, Fi is very apparent with her, but I don't think it's dominant. I think the sexual instinct of Threes describes her best from her best, in my opinion. "The Sexual Three is the most emotional of the Threes, so you are more likely to see them expressing their feelings. This Three doesn't wear the kind of social mask that a Social Three wears. There is a deep sadness within the Sexual Three. They often had a difficult early life, and they use "disconnections" from themselves as a way to forget, or to make up for and minimize, past abuses. There is a lot of fear of feeling emotional pain and sorrow, and so they learn to disconnect from their deeper emotional experience. They also experience criticism as very threatening, as it destroys their mask of being a "perfectly good person." Four-wing seems apparent but again, I don't think she's a core Four. All her social media posts are about what's she's doing, not for raw identity purposes or mainly from the extensive self-expression, but success, competency, things to do--very sp traits. She's a classic workaholic. And a professional. Very systems-oriented (listen to her stint on Writing Excuses Season 15 and you'll see what I mean, as well as her interviews with authors on YouTube). Not saying Fours can't be professionals but their professions are usually in service of their need of their identity while Threes usually become their professions. She's quite sp-like in that regard, and to be honest it makes it hard to envisage them as Threes on first pass: "It can be hard for a Self-Preservation Three to be recognized as a Three. They may be easily confused with Ones or Sixes. This Three looks like a One in that the type is rigid, responsible, and self-sufficient. These Threes, like Ones, try to be a model of virtue in the things they do. The can be distinguished from Ones in that they move at a faster pace, pay attention to creating an image (even when they don't acknowledge it), and conform to a perfect model of how to be as judged by social consensus, not according to internal standards of right and wrong (as Ones do). They differ from Sixes in that they are fundamentally image-oriented and work harder in response to insecurity, while Sixes find protection in other ways. And while Threes may question their sense of identity, they generally don't allow their productive to get slowed down by too much doubt or questioning." In tandem, I would go: sx/sp. I think her Te is very developed for an INFP (which is still possible as she is deffo on the Fi/Te axis): "This subtype can appear almost Four-like. They can be dramatic and appear introspective, especially with the Four wing. There is an on and off quality to these Threes. They can be very emotional and then become very business like. It’s not uncommon to find this subtype in the arts, especially as actors, singers or performers. The outward sexual energy coupled with the secondary self-pres energy can cause these Threes to focus on projecting an image of themselves to the world. They will seek validation in the area of their persona. This type especially wrestles with the authenticity of the persona/image they create. On the one hand, the image protects the real self, but at the same time they hate the image they project. This subtype is likely to be in a constant state of flux when it comes to the image they project and for this reason, they run the risk of burn-out and disillusionment. They are more prone to depression than the other subtypes."
