During the past few days, I’ve been on a journey of “personality type discovery,” so to say, reading type descriptions extra hard and extra carefully, and finding information on every personality type system that PDB uses (especially the Enneagram subtypes), all for typing characters of my favorite show. And during this journey, I considered every character I have ever typed in my head and on PDB, and realized that what the majority thinks on this site isn’t actually what it seems 99.9% of the time. And with this, I officially retract my SO2 typing for Gloria. After careful consideration, Gloria’s character does indeed fit substantially more with SP2 than SO2, including her core motivations and interaction style. While her confidence and assertiveness might seem like classic SO2 traits at first glance, it’s actually more about her “childlike” charm and playful assertiveness from an SP2 perspective, rather than a desire to dominate socially. Gloria mainly wants love and acceptance. She’s also warm and good at forming deep bonds. Her loyalty to friends comes from needing dependable, secure relationships, more of a way for her to make sure her needs are met, rather than the strategic alliance-building we’d see in SO2s trying to boost their status. Speaking of which, Gloria’s personality shows clear differences from typical SO2 traits. She’s not cold and calculated in her seduction, she doesn’t judge or criticize others for not meeting high standards, and she doesn’t chase success or social climbing like SO2s often do. Her warmth, quick wit (more used for connecting than dominating socially), and focus on her immediate circle of family stand out as different from the more calculated, status-driven approach SO2s tend to have. Some of Gloria’s nuances also make sense when viewed through the SP2 lens. For example, her strength and sassiness might seem weird for SP2s, who can often be shy or “play small.” But according to Naranjo, SP2s hide behind an “independent façade,” and their “childlike” nature isn’t just about helplessness, **but it also includes charm, playfulness, and a certain demanding attitude that expects care.** Gloria’s confidence is part of this, balancing vulnerability underneath. And her moments of taking charge doesn’t mean she’s not dependent. Hell, SP2s are motivated to protect their close relationships because they’re essential to their well-being…acting for loved ones fits right in with that. Her character development, a journey towards self-acceptance, really lines up with SP2s. At its core, the SP2 wants unconditional love and care like a child, and often fears that they’re not entitled to it unless they manipulate or earn it. Their sense of “privilege” is a defense mechanism against feeling insecure. For Gloria, truly accepting herself would mean moving past that neurotic need for external validation of her “specialness.” It’s about shifting from relying on charm or entitlement to genuinely trusting her worth and feeling secure in her relationships and herself. Lastly, her relationship with Melman gives another insight into her SP2 nature. Her constant reassurance and encouragement to the anxious Melman can be seen as her fostering a dependent relationship. While Naranjo talks about SP2s relating to strong characters to mask their insecurities, it also works the other way: they can become essential to someone else, making that person’s affection and presence a way to feel secure. By nurturing Melman, Gloria builds a deep bond that feeds her need for connection, love, and being needed, core parts of the SP2 drive for safety and care. All in all, even though Gloria shows some traits that might make her seem like an SO2, her need for secure bonds, her lack of social climbing, and many other things point much more toward her being an SP2. TL;DR I was wrong. But that’s life for ya. P.S. I primarily made this decision on my own, I have to give a shoutout to @[IceAndFire] for being the first one here to suggest SP2. (NOTICE: My FEVL vote is for AP, not PY. It is entirely possible for one’s PY type to be different from their AP type. FEVL just so happens to be the archetype for SP2 in PY, but if you ask me to explain my vote, I will explain through AP, and not PY.)
