Phoebe Buffay MBTI Personality Type

Personality

What personality type is Phoebe Buffay? Phoebe Buffay is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w8 - sx/so - 749 in Enneagram, SCUAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.

I don't get the 22 people who voted for 4w3. Just because she's different and willing to be her unique self doesn't automatically make her a 4. She never really has any issues with envy or feelings of being inferior despite the fact that she missed out on a lot growing up. If she was a 4, then she would definitely lament about her difficult childhood more, instead of shrugging it off. If anything, her strength is that she's pretty adaptable and takes life as it comes without taking anything too seriously. I think she's a 7 because she's pretty out and about, always wanting to try new things or new experiences, moving from one thing to the next. I don't think she's a sexual 7 though. Phoebe has a more grounded energy about her and the social 7 tends to be more involved with the group rather than going their own path.

Biography

Phoebe is the group's cloudcuckoolander granola girl who has a bit of a dark past: her biological mother left her and her sister with her biological father and adoptive mother, her biological father walked out on her, her adoptive mother died, her stepfather was sent to prison, and she spent some time on the street before finding a stable job (as a masseuse) and roommate (Monica), before eventually moving in with her grandmother. She plays the guitar (badly) and sings (badly) at Central Perk, and exhibits traits of The Pollyanna. Though a bit of a flake, she's a great deal more perceptive and savvy than she looks, due to having more life experience than the rest of the group combined.
