Margaret “Peggy” Olson MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Margaret “Peggy” Olson? Margaret “Peggy” Olson is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - so/sx - 631 in Enneagram, RCOEI in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.
Ni is really over romanticized. Peggy is a good grounded example of an INFJ who isn't a purehearted mystical guru or an emotionally manipulative puppet master. I thought she might be ISTJ, but rewatching the INFJ votes make more sense to me now, and thinking about INFJs I know in real life I can see it. INFJs are often different from their stereotype. Despite having secondary Fe, I think INFJs can use it awkwardly. They also often feel somewhere between thinkers and feelers, and I think that describes Peggy pretty well. She is Ni, not Si. She isn't stuck on comfort or familiarity, she's always looking forward, and she has this pessimism that comes from gut feelings. She actually has a good number of lines in the show along the lines of "I can't take any more bad omens" or "I knew something bad was going to happen". She's good at noticing patterns in others behavior. "You'll have to believe me that I'll forget this. I don't want you treating me badly because I remind you of it." She does use Fe. She's empathetic and constantly does things for others without judging them. She doesn't have specific ideals that she strongly feels, she is not guided by Fi. Her reaction to Abe criticizing Filmore Autoparts is a really good example. She is sensitive and aware of the people and emotions around her. She does, at times, skip over it, and you can see her go into Ni Ti nitpicking, but her insensitivity is usually accidental. Her assertiveness does not come from Te. For the most part, it takes time for her to develop it and comes from her mimicking Don, but even the moments earlier in the show comes from her learning to be blunt about what she wants, but doesn't come from a Te place.
