What's with the ENFP votes?! Pls compare her to Lizzy Bennett, and you'd see they are very different. Lizzy oozes with Ne, and uses her Ne-Te to banter, whereas Cathy indulges in Se-Te to quickly escape her poverty by enticing Linton with her Se. She is an example of an unhealthy ESFP, who craves attention and luxury and is quite vain. Not an ounce of Ne in the film, very grounded in reality. Her conversations with Hethcliff don't indicate Ni-Ne, because she keeps stressing status and developments in her surroundings(gossip). The reason she felt unfulfilled in her marriage was because of underutilized Fi, overshadowed by a Se-Te loop. Also, in the film, she made a lot of reckless decisions, such as her affair with Heathcliff, disregarding the destructive consequences of such an action(indicative of Ni inferior). I don't see Si inferior. Her and Heathcliff's toxicity stemmed from their unhealthy Se and Te usage Just because she is lively and makes a few abstract remarks doesn't make her an intuitive. An ENFP would not have settled for a practical marriage, as they are quite idealistic, just like most NFs. ENFP would also have felt more trapped by the materialistic pleasures around them, but she seemed to enjoy it.
Biography
As a child she is, like Heathcliff, wild and untameable; growing into adulthood, her behaviour may appear sociable and conventional, but wildness, self-centeredness, and even cruelty are never deeply buried.
