Personality

What personality type is Mary Cooper (née Tucker)? Mary Cooper (née Tucker) is an ESFJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - sp/so - 126 in Enneagram, SLOAN in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.

She experiences both a loop and a grip in 2x03. When that teenage girl died in a car crash and she started to doubt her own faith, you can see a classic FeNe loop. As a result of her relying mostly in her extraverted functions, she starts to talk and open up to a lot of people like Pastor Jeff, the church receptionist and all the church people she calls. She also gets extremely sad and reactive because she's always putting herself on the shoes of the girl's family, this is all classic Fe. You can see the Ne when she starts exploring new possibilities (like redecorating the garden with religious themes), and as the loop gets stronger we see her geeting less and less traditional as she puts aside her normal beliefs and way of acting as she goes out to drink with Meemaw, stops praying before eating... Then we see the grip in the subsequent night when she starts relying a lot more on her TiNe. You can see how she is using mostly her intraverted function when Sheldon asks if she wants company and she says she needs some time alone to think (classic Ti introspection). When Sheldon asks if it's his fault or if he has done something wrong, he is unintentionally pushing her Fe, she needs to be there for her son. Then, he starts giving her logical reasons why the existence of God is possible, this makes her realize that the problem is not in her logic as she says "Logic is in here (pointing to her head), but my problem is here (pointing to her heart)." Lastly, Sheldon justifies God's possible existence by asking how is it possible that in 7 billion living people she is the perfect mom for him, this gives her an emotional solution to her dilemma rather than a logical one, thus stopping the Ti grip as she returns to her natural/traditional self (Si) praying for Sheldon (Fe).
