Lady Edith Crawley MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Lady Edith Crawley? Lady Edith Crawley is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - sp/sx - 469 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
Edith doesn't strike me as much of a Fe-user. She is always at odds with other people socially and while she's afraid of social repercussions, in the end she does what she wants or what she thinks is right, regardless of other people's opinion. That's what makes her such a constant social catastrophe early on before it turns into a strength and she becomes this free-spirited and independent character. She's not a typical ISFJ. She might seem to have conventional, home-oriented aspirations early on, but we can't forget the social pressure of the Edwardian setting she lives in, or how quickly she bounces back after both her rejections by Sir Anthony. What she actually craves is a life outside her family and the drives, work on the farm, helping the wounded, the London excursions and her job are all attempts to find out who she is, outside of social/family connections. Even during the war, she doesn't really become a caretaker: unlike Sybil, she engages the wounded intellectually, not as broken bodies but as independent minds in need of abstract nourrishment (books), not an emotional rapport or physical comfort. She also displays typical ISFP traits: she has consistently demonstrated an interest in art (from season 1 with Matthew in the church), news ("Don't you read the papers?" when Pamuk arrives in season 1) and writing (hinted as early as season 2, Drewe's "You should be a writer"). She's described as "an observer," and a poor planner.
