Penelope Garcia MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Penelope Garcia? Penelope Garcia is an ENFP personality type in MBTI, 7w6 - so/sx - 749 in Enneagram, SLUAI in Big 5, IEE in Socionics.
her being an ENFP isn’t really super debated so i don’t think i need to explain that much but i really don’t think she’s a 4. just because she’s individualistic doesn’t make her a 4, she doesn’t dwell on her negative feelings and doesn’t seem to be driven by envy, she goes out of her way to avoid negative emotion by surrounding herself with “happy” things and remaining positive (to the point where Hotch even joked about needing to get her drug tested due to how upbeat she seems), she tries to remain optimistic despite all of the horror she sees in her job and tries to detach herself from these things by avoiding them and staying happy, this seems like a coping mechanism specific to her as well because the other characters don’t seem to do this. i think she’s a so7, so7s can often resemble 2s due to their helpful nature and they reject their gluttony that all 7s are driven by, so7s are generous and have a strong desire to be of service, they often sacrifice their own needs for a cause and may be judgemental of selfishness in themselves or others and they want to be appreciated for the things they do for their group, i think this fits her quite well. i’m less sure of her tritype but if anyone has any ideas for it let me know.
Biography
The team's mission control, Garcia is an extremely skilled hacker who was captured by the FBI and offered a job by Hotch as an alternative to prison, due to her extreme skill and obvious strong sense of justice. In both style and personality, she's the most free-spirited and non-traditional member of the team, due to her origins in hacker culture and her status as a techie rather than a field agent.
