Kathleen Coghlan MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Kathleen Coghlan? Kathleen Coghlan is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - sx/so - in Enneagram, SLOEN in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
Her character arc is really centered around her thirst for revenge and the hypocrisy it brews. You can watch as her ability to remain calm and objective deteriorates the closer she gets to achieving what she thinks she needs to feel fulfilled. And it would make sense why she wasn’t so keen on letting go; the anger and hatred spurred from her brother’s murder is exactly what motivated her to take leadership and overthrow an entire government. And it didn’t help that her right hand man was egging her on the entire time, exacerbating an already broken mindset. To the point that she barely tries to justify it as the next logical step in creating a safer community. It’s her ambition, it’s what she wants, and she barely tries to hide it as such. She makes next to no effort to appeal emotionally to any other figure, remains open and clear about the next moves, but doesn’t give opportunity for disagreement. “Kids die all the time”, she shouts to a man she’s chasing down for killing her brother. By her own logic, what she’s doing is wrong, more-so that anything Henry did. She’s running on trauma and fumes, and really only overthrew a self serving government to… serve herself instead. It feels like we’re watching an out-of-body experience with how out of tune she is with what she needs, and how her desires are affecting others. The choice to abandon community growth for personal endeavor, to never think in terms of comfort and interconnectedness with the people she’s leading, to look outward to military resources to exploit for said endeavor, and for it to all be motivated by a cause that is emotional and directly contradicts with assigned morals, leads me to believe she’s an extremely hurt and unhealthy ESTJ. I don’t think I can call this “letting her emotions get the better of her”, especially considering all she has seen and been through, but trauma has definitely taken hold of what would otherwise be functions perfectly suited for leadership.
