What personality type is Elle Greenaway? Elle Greenaway is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w9 - sx/sp - 836 in Enneagram, SCOEN in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
I went back and rewatched some episodes, and Te-Fi is clear. Her Fi is definitely unhealthy and likely inferior. She's very to the point and is often either unaware or doesn't care how she comes across to those outside the team (e.g. "What's the matter, Scotty? Can't deal with a woman who's not afraid of you?"; "Did they torture you? Rape you?"), not to mention her shooting William Lee in cold blood because he reminded her too much of her own attacker and triggered an Fi grip. I go with ESTJ over ESFP because I'm not really seeing low Ni issues with her (or Ni at all, tbh), while her struggles with Fi are obvious not only as problem areas but as areas where she's craving growth as well. This is particularly apparent in her conversation on the plane with Hotch ("Did you think it was weird that we were all just able to drop everything and go to the office? I'm just so scared that I'm going to turn into that guy over there. Look up and see that my life has passed me by while I was chasing monsters."), when she becomes stressed when her security is threatened (Si-Fi; "I was alone in the one place I have the right to feel safe and that's my home"), and when she says goodbye to Hotch ("[The sound of my phone ringing] paralyzes me. I'm not the same person anymore. That night at Lee's, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing."). The scene in which she says goodbye to Hotch is also suggestive of strong, likely dominant, Te in that she is adamant that she was justified in shooting Lee and doesn't at all regret killing someone because, in her mind, it was completely justified.
