Carol Peletier MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Carol Peletier? Carol Peletier is an ISFJ personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/so - 694 in Enneagram, RLOAN in Big 5, SEI in Socionics.
She's giving me traumatized ISFJ. I know XSFJs who act like Carol - they're decisive and active people, ready to shape their environment, even kinda sceptical, dry. I don't think any other typology actually fits Carol. The closest I understand is ISFP but I think the fact that she was often making very personal decisions based of feeligs doesn't really prove she's Fi dom. Again, she's traumatized, she's been through a lot. I understand some people say she also gives Ni dom vibes, but tbh I see more Si in her plans - she doesn't really think ahead this much, and her plans are kinda short term and pretty simple - kill Alpha, then what? Burn two infected people, then what? She's not a good long term problem solver. However, in the last season she definitely becomes much more intuitive and forward thinking. Isn't it learning though? I think Carol's a Fe user who later through the seasons detatched herself from this function due to a lot of trauma she went through. She started using more Ti, became closed off, didn't want to talk about her own emotions. She pretty much rejected herself in a way. (Also her social shape shifting is a very Fe move - she can fake a lot in front of other people). I think ISFJ Carol is very possible and tbh it adds a lot to ISFJs portrayal. They aren't just nurses or bakers, they can be smart, strong, detatch themselves from emotions. They can go through a lot of environmental shaping and become more than a stereotype - for good or for bad. They can develop their lacking functions. They can learn from different types. I think Carol's portrayal is a little chaotic during the series but the environment she's living in is also very chaotic. A lot of her decisions and her entire journey is shaped by the trauma she constantly goes through. I also think the fact that she sometimes acts like ISTP (strong Se and Ti) could come from 1) again, trauma, and 2) her close relationship with Daryl. Overall, a character developing Se function is pretty obvious when it comes to zombie apocalypse. So I think Carol is definitely a Fe user who rejected this function and for a long time stayed in Ti survival mode, spiced up with some mix of Si and Se.
