FIRST IMPRESSIONS AGENT (?) PRENTISS —> Man, I feel as if Agent Prentiss presents a good case of a well-meaning, friendly ESFJ just wanting to get along with everybody being needlessly pooped on by the pseudo-intellectual edgelords that write her off as ShAlLoW or FaKe **cough** Dr Reid **cough**. —> Her dominant Fe has been proven especially helpful in cases as pays attention to shared emotions and respectful social values when interacting with people as a part of cases, making healthy, well-founded evaluations. —> Seriously, Agent Prentiss embodies what’s truly cool and wonderful about the kindness of healthy, well-rounded ESFJs. —> I’m going to take a wild stab and guess 3w2 for right now for Agent Prentiss’s Enneagram— I don’t think her priority has so much to do with a prideful need to be loved, as much as she just wants to achieve and perform well in her career. —> There was a bit in which Agent Prentiss hesitantly described that she might just compartmentalize traumatic experiences on the job better than the others and I almost wonder if this has to due with her possibly be in the middle of the “Image/Heart” Triad and thus the most disconnected with the inherent vice of Shame. —> Nonetheless, Agent Prentiss has proven to be a cool example of the positive traits of Enneagram 3 that I should probably aspire to as a Type 9 myself. Thanks.
