Anya Jenkins MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Anya Jenkins? Anya Jenkins is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sp/sx - 371 in Enneagram, SCOEN in Big 5, in Socionics.
I think sp 3 (countertype) really suits her. Seems more worried to be effective, productive, self-sufficient, and often focused on financial security or safety in general. Sometimes can be pretty detached emotionally cause everything to them seems like a role to be fulfilled or a job to be done and won't be mobilized by negative feelings (this is what differs them from 6s). To me, the point of her character is such alienation she has from humans due to her work-related nature and little consideration she has for others' or her own wishes. She needs to be focused on tasks, be it being a Vengeance Demon or owner of the Magic Box to guarantee herself. Sp Threes want to be seen as successful but at the same time they dislike outwardly showing that they want it and bragging about oneself. They also don't look forward to achieving what's socially valued as social Threes often do. I can see how Anya gets offended when people doubt her capacity to achieve what she wants and for her security and providing comes first
Biography
Anya (portrayed by #EmmaCaulfield) is a 1,120-year-old former vengeance demon (Anyanka) who specialized in avenging scorned women. After being forcibly stripped of her demonic powers by Giles, the character is forced to re-learn how to be an ordinary human, a journey which is portrayed as both comical (e.g., her fear of rabbits and her love of money) and poignant (e.g. her grief over Joyce's death). Her story is largely focused on her romantic relationship with Xander, and like many characters on the show, she is portrayed as morally ambivalent.
