Personality

What personality type is Rachel Green? Rachel Green is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sx/so - 369 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.

I think a good example of her Fi is when she went to London to tell Ross how she still loved him. On his wedding day. Not only did she decide to go to London (almost) spontaneously (originally not wanting to go to the wedding), she followed her heart and had to tell him how she felt. If she was a (healthy) Fe user she'd consider how it impact others. She didn't think "If I tell Ross how I feel, it'll patch things up between us" or, "How would this impact Ross, Emily and the rest of the group." That episode alone showed a lot of Se-Fi, in my opinion. I'm not trying to say that Fi is selfish, but my main point is that Rachel followed her heart because that's what felt right to HER. She was more focused on how it made her feel. She also shows lots of Se-Ni. She often makes impulsive decisions and doesn't really consider the (long-term) consequences (leaving her wedding with Barry, not really thinking where to go, assuming she could stay with Monica - again, her impulsively deciding to go to London, getting in lots of relationships that didn't lead anywhere, her getting of the plane in the finale...). I think her overarching character arc is about her developing her inferior Ni/finding balance between her Se and Ni (and of course, being a better person in general). Of course not every character is written with cognitive functions in mind, but I think it translates pretty well.

Biography

Spoiled, naïve Rachel enters the series in the first episode in her wedding dress, running away from her own big day. She moves in with Monica, gets a menial job serving coffee, soon learns a little bit more about grown-up life and ends up dating Ross off and on (and off and on and off and on and...).
