But what do we MEAN by Feeling, Thinking, etc.

I hadn’t put these on tumblr & it occurred to me that I probably should  

I think a great amount of the confusion regarding enneagram / mbti combos is that they use the rather vague colloquial terms „thinking“ and „feeling“ to mean different things.

„Thinking“ in the mbti is task-oriented reasoning, „feeling“ is reasoning in terms of intentional actors. Indeed a dichotomy between explaining things through either causes or intentions, living or nonliving systems, seems somewhat inbuilt in the human mind, I think there are experiments that show even babies make this distinction.

Obviously, if you are looking at intentional actors (be it yourself or others), it’s natural for emotions to be a part of that reasoning. Intentional actors usually have feelings; Sticks & tools do not.

You might see that people don’t always make a clean split – a surgeon may treat removing an appendix as a task in which the patient is understood object with parts so he can keep a cool head, a poet might say that the leaves are „dancing“ in the wind to evoke feelings in the reader or express how his perception is colored his own.

„Thinking“ in the enneagram centers of intelligence sense is rather explicit, effortful, ‚system 2‘ thought. (regardless of what kind it is: logic, planning, imagining etc.)

General humans avoid doing that cause it burns alot of sugar and less costly processes work just as well, but some avoid it less than others. Or maybe us head types are just touchy little fuckers that have a more exaggerated response to less stimulus.

The upside of this is that it’s flexible & adaptable to tasks that we never encountered in the savannah, and that it can override our intuitions. Also, if you used explict reasoning you can give a reason for why you arrived at the conclusion, change parameters and „rerun the simulation“.

The downside is that it is slow and costs a lotta juice, also, it doesn’t always have an answer if there is not enough data, whereas intuition & association can almost always supply some usable guess.

„explicit thought“ is needed to apply a method that is counter to our intuitions, to consider multiple factors at once, and to doubt (since doubting requires holding two contradictory ideas in your mind) – its probably no coincidence that type 6, the „pure“ thinking type, is also the most doubting.

„feeling“ here means the middle or mammalian brain, the „associative machine“ or „affect heuristic“.

Enthusiasts of cats or dogs more or less know that they have what we would recognize as a „heart“ – the capacity to bond, social emotions shown through complex body language (and unique personality differences related how how they’re expressed), and also, reinforced learning, which is quite relevant when we consider, say, type 3. Feelingsland is the home of motivation.

Another ability of the associative mind is to intuitive translate things to different scales.

If you’re asked to donate money to protect birds from oilspills, most ppl don’t whip out their financial planners, but decide based on how much emotion they feel about those poor, poor seabirds, and then associatively transfer it from hurt feelings to dollars.

This is why most of us can answer questions like „If dave was as tall as he is intelligent how tall would he be“ or why we can understand each other through poetic expressions like „that hurtful statement felt like being stabbed with a knife“ even if none of us have been in a knife fight. Both emotional pain &physical pain are scales.

Likewise when buying a product, most pll don’t go comparing the specs & the evidence for which is best (well… the 6s among us do.) but we go by what feelings & memories we connect with the product & how it fits our idea of ourselves, & may refuse to touch it if it doesn’t.

However, frequent errors in dog training have to do with how dogs can’t „think“, at least not very well – they have rather good associative memories, but they can’t generalize easily. This is why a dog might have to learn to perform a trick in multiple rooms before it gets that the cue always means the same thing, and why its encouraged to use positive reinforcement over punishment cause the dogs may be unable to deduce why they’re being punished, and just associate „you“ with „pain“. Similar caveats apply with small children whose thinking skills arent fully online yet.

That said, I wouldn’t say humans are the only ones capable of „thinking“ – You could make a good case for Crows, Great Apes, Dolphins, Parrots & Elephants, and maybe even Octopi or Bees. Future planning, symbol use, complex problemsolving…

notably, there’s a third category (thought the two systems approach lumps them together), which is intuitive impressions.

The distinguisher here is that it’s somewhat automatic.

If you decided by thinking you can give reasons, if you decided by feeling you can point out your associations, but in the case of a „gut feeling“ decision, you just „see“ it, or „recognize“ or „guess“.

Just as you „see“ the world around you as distinct objects or, unless you’re a grade schooler, can „see“ what a word means without having to go through each individual letter.

That doesn’t mean it’s not sophisticated: Take for instance the example of a doctor who, after a lot of doctoring experience, can recognize some conditions on sight from skin lesions or a characteristic constellation of systems, or an expert chess player who just „sees“ a strong move or that the game will end in three turns.

This also generates impulses, like recoiling when something suddenly comes at you.

So, in terms of functionality, this includes basic survival machinery like spotting snakes or attractive mates, learning by copying or recognizing from experience, and, crucially, spotting what is normal or expected. The intuitive brain has a sort of „autocomplete“ function where it’s always guessing what’s likely to happen next based on everything it’s seen so far in similar places & situations, & is always on the lookout for stuff that is not right or suspicious.

For example, consider a case where a fireman got the sense that something was „off“, ordered his colleagues out of the room, and then minutes later the floor collapsed. He could not say at first what he had noticed, but he trusted it & acted on it straightaway. Only later could he puzzle together that the noise level was wrong & his ears hotter than normal. He didn’t sherlock holmes style logically deduce that the fire had actually started in the basement, but he knew something wasn’t normal.

If this happens again, though, he is likely to recognize it.

Imagine you’re picking clothes.

If you just grab one, that’s going by impression/impulse. (maybe it seemed comfortable, pretty, „looked right“ according to simple criteria, or was simply your first impulse. )

If you pick one that matches your mood, the impression you want to evoke where you’re going, or the feelings, experiences & memories thar you connect with it, that’s association.

If you briefly stand there thinking about which one’s right for the weather, making a political statement, or fitting some theme, that’s explicit thought.

Consider an ISTJ 1, to pick an uncontroversial combo that won’t derail the example into an argument. That would be someone who does a whole lot of „thinking“ in the mbti sense but not so much „thinking“ in the enneagram sense.

He’s evaluating everything by criteria, task oriented criteria, but probably doesn’t often sit there stressing over what the best criteria are, like his hypothetical 6 cousin might. He has some sensory impression of how whatever it is he works with „should“ look & compares against that – is it right, yes or no? If its not, it jumps out at him right away (Si + intuitive spotting of deviations from norm) he puts it right according some some procedure he has previously learned by copying his teacher or gotten from a rule book (though he prolly reads journals related to his job to have the most up to date procedure & constatly improve to fit his high standards), but which, in day to day life, he now mostly just applies meticulously & dilligently with attention to fine physical detail.

If he notices his method doesnt work, he may stop & explicitly think it through, and maybe come up with a better procedure, but mostly what he has active is his intuitive „seeing“ - & where “explicit thinking” is done it may serve as a “water carrier” to his intuitions, to retroactively rationalize his impressions.

If you had some ISFJ 1 instead much of her evaluation would concern the correctness of their social behavior. (intentional actors) – „oh, lisa’s face looked a tic less enthusiastic than how i remember it last time. Did I do a bad job?“

Pretty Little Liars: Spencer Hastings - Type 3w4

Spencer is smart, hardworking and perfectionistic. She is incredibly driven and wants to achieve a lot. 

At her best, Spencer is a loyal friend and is more honest (integrating to 6).  She puts her friends first and tries to keep the people she loves safe. Spencer also begins to let go of her unrealistic standards for perfection and learns that sometimes ‘good enough’ is actually good enough. 

At her worst, Spencer becomes withdrawn and depressive (disintegrating to 9). She has a breakdown upon discovering the (apparent) death of Toby and is admitted into Radley Sanitarium. During this period of time, Spencer becomes stoic and unresponsive. She also takes on some negative traits of 6 as she begins to overthink everything, making everyone around her believe that she is crazy (even though she is right).

Despite often seeing Spencer typed as a 3 I did debate typing her as a 1 because she often seems to be striving for perfection and not success. For example, we often see Spencer, telling people that she has to be perfect to live up to her parent’s standards. However, I ultimately decided on typing her as a 3 overall because she is extremely competitive and is very focused on achievements. Furthermore, while Spencer has a very strong moral compass, I feel that she often will do immoral things in the name of her success. For example, she abuses Adderall to improve her grades and stole her sister’s term paper. Likewise, I feel that in season 1 when Spencer has a secret fling with Wren she does not really care about the moral implications of dating her sisters boyfriend (this is compounded with the fact that she kissed Ian prior to the series). 

These are just a few of many examples of Spencer doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. So while, Spencer has many 1 traits (and a 1 fix) I believe she is ultimately a self-preservation 3. Self-preservation 3s often present like type 1s as they are concerned with being ‘good’ people and being ‘perfect’. They often have strong moral codes and are rigid in their beliefs (like 1s). Furthermore, sp 3s are concerned with finding security and being in control. This variant of 3 will often have an undercurrent of anxiety about them but they will try to hide this from the world presenting an image of being calm and organised. They are also often skilled problem solvers and are assertive people who ‘get things done’. All in all, I think the description of a sp 3 fits Spencer to a tee.

Spencer comes from a very successful family of lawyers and her sister is a doctor. As a result of her family’s success, Spencer felt an immense need to be successful and felt that she had to be perfect for her parents. Despite being a huge overachiever, Spencer never felt she was good enough. She constantly compared herself to Melissa and put herself in competition with her. Spencer does this as she deeply fears being in her sister’s shadow and wants her parents’ love/attention. 

Spencer takes on leadership roles well and enjoys being in the spotlight. Before Ali died, she would be the only liar to really go up against her. After Ali’s death Spencer assumes the role of ‘leader’ of the liars. Sometimes, her bossiness causes friction with her friends, as she does not consult them when making decisions.

In her relationship with Toby, Spencer finds someone that she can truly trust. Toby loves Spencer for who she is and does not place an emphasis on her achievements. Toby brings a sense of stability to Spencer and he is someone she feels safe with. As a result, Spencer is able to grow more secure and lets go of some of her need for success. Toby makes Spencer feel like she can be herself and he won’t judge her for it.

Spencer shows her wing 4 as she is more focused on achieving her individual goals rather than appearing desirable like a 3w2. Likewise, 3w4s are more task-oriented and are more likely to use avoidance as a strategy which we see in Spencer (i.e. she often avoids dealing with her feelings).

Tri-type: 3w4 - 1w2 - 6w5

Some quotes to describe Spencer’s traits and motivations:

“Hide and seek was my favorite game with Melissa. You want to know why? I always won.”

“I don’t think this is gonna come as any surprise to you. But I can be really certain about things. I like being certain, okay? Its where I’m comfortable. I am not happy in the grey places.” 

“Telling the police now about what happened to Jenna isn't gonna make Jenna see again. It will just ruin our lives.”

“Melissa is a Hastings, we bounce back like super balls.”   

“I really don’t let myself cry in front of anybody.”

“Uh, drugging yourself is the best alibi ever. Classic Sharon Stone movie.”

(To Toby): “I've never had a safe place to land but now I feel like I do, so I want you to stay safe.”

Maya: “So, I get your connection to Spencer. You both like to win.” Emily: “Winning’s great, but if I’ve done my best, I usually feel good about the outcome, no matter what it is.” Maya: “And Spencer?” Emily: “Spencer needs to win.”

Aria Montgomery (Pretty Little Liars): ISFP

Dominant Introverted Feeling [Fi]: Aria’s emotions are private and intense. She keeps a journal, which she writes in to get out all of her feelings. Her value system is internal – she does what she has to do to protect herself and the people closest to her. She can be very hard on people who violate her morals or wrong her. When Aria kills Shana to protect her friends, she struggles to live with the guilt and wants to turn herself in for the murder. She primary deals with her feelings following the incident in solitude. She repeatedly watches the video of Shana’s memorial alone and cries silently. Aria has trouble with forgiving herself for what she did and tries to make a donation towards the cost of the funeral, until she is interrupted and stopped by Ezra. Aria needs to “find a way to live with what she did in New York.” She attempts to alleviate her guilt by going over to Jenna’s to be “sorry for her loss��� and offers to listen to her talk about Shana in order to help her heal. Aria doesn’t care what other people think of her relationship with Ezra. It feels right to her, so other people’s opinions don’t matter. She can sometimes see through people and call them out on their behavior. When Sean tries to give her flowers to say “thanks”, Aria flatly states that his real motive was to hurt Hanna. When Aria is feeling something, she doesn’t hold back for the sake of group harmony. She is in a bad mood and withdrawn on her double date with Noel, Hanna, and Sean because she’s upset about Ezra and can’t pull herself out of her funk. After she finds out the truth about Hanna giving Ella the museum tickets, she is snarky and isolates herself from the rest of the group in Emily’s bedroom. She doesn’t address what’s bothering her, but makes rude comments and eventually gets up and leaves. Aria begins working for A.D. in order to protect Ezra from the police report she filled out accusing him of statutory rape after A.D. threatens to make it public, but feels so guilty about what she’s done that she wants to turn herself in. She can’t stand that she betrayed her friends to keep Ezra out of trouble. Aria has a hard time doing something if it contradicts the way she’s feeling. For example, she refuses to go to her mother’s for dinner after she moves into her own apartment because, to Aria, doing so would be like saying she’s okay with them being separated when she isn’t.

Auxiliary Extroverted Sensing [Se]: It can be quite difficult for Aria to think abut the consequences of her actions before doing something. She pursues a relationship with Ezra even though doing so can get him into a lot of trouble. Aria acts on impulse a lot, which is typically driven by her emotions, and when she gets herself worked up about something, she doesn’t really care about the repercussions. She has a history of acting out in violent, destructive ways, such as destroying Ezra’s apartment or trashing her father’s office after she discovers his affair. On occasion, Aria will make the risky move of showing up at Ezra’s apartment without calling ahead. At the dance-a-thon, she’s all ready to march over to Simone and make a scene about Ezra, but Spencer (who always thinks about consequences), intervenes and diffuses the situation before it can start. Aria is unafraid to act in the moment. She uses the rifle to knock Shana off the stage to save her friends. When Hanna and Spencer are arguing about what to do with the file, Aria grabs it and throws it into the water. After she finds out that Ezra got close to her for his book about Ali’s disappearance, she fills out a police report as a spiteful act of revenge, though she never files it. When Aria is suspicious about what’s going on with her parents, she runs straight into the school to get answers. When Ezra is directing a play, Aria asks him to be his stage manager so they can spend more time together, which Ezra immediately thinks is a bad idea, but Aria doesn’t care about the problems that might present. All she cares about is having the opportunity to be in his company. She doesn’t get worked up thinking about the future. “You have no idea what’s gonna happen tomorrow. Nobody does.” Aria signs up for self-defense classes and enjoys feeling empowered and in control of her environment. However, during her first lesson, she impulsively kisses her instructor after getting one of the moves down. She enjoys sensory hobbies and interests, such as music, photography, art, and fashion. She takes advantage of opportunities that arise in her environment. She volunteers at Radley to get information and she goes to Maggie’s classroom, pretending to be an undergraduate interested in teaching in order to satisfy her curiosity about Ezra’s ex. She’s highly aware of her surroundings and often uses them to form conclusions.

Tertiary Introverted Intuition [Ni]: When Aria has a hunch about something, she commits to the idea until it’s either proven, or proven to be incorrect. She doesn’t usually entertain multiple theories at once, and tends to stick with whatever she feels is most likely until the trail leads her to a dead end. Because Aria can see the deeper meaning in things, she’s convinced that Shana’s underlined passage from her copy of The Scarlet Letter is a reference to the fact that she’s “A”. Sometimes, Aria will convince herself that the worst-case scenario will come to fruition and acts on impulse to prevent it from happening. After the events that occurred in New York, Aria is afraid that “A” will tell the police what really happened. Aria’s first instinct is to go to the cabin in the woods to make it look like Ali had been hiding out there in order to substantiate their story. She believes that it is only a mater of time until they are inevitably caught by the police and can become quite pessimistic when forced to confront the future. Aria enjoys understanding the deeper meanings behind things and is quite analytical when it comes to books and movies. When the girls are putting together Ali’s memorial, she visualizes what people will think or feel when they see it. She says that she and her friends will be forgotten, but people will come there far into the future and, even though they won’t know Ali or what happened to her, she will be immortalized.

Inferior Extroverted Thinking [Te]: Aria doesn’t typically enact plans of her own. Rather, she tends to play a role in other people’s. Sometimes, when Aria is feeling stressed, she can fall into the grip of her inferior function and feel the need to do something, such as going to the cabin to make it look as though Ali had been living there in order to back up the lie they told. When Aria feels threatened or attacked, or loses control of her temper, she can be blunt, direct, and brutal. She is very cold towards Meredith and has no trouble telling her to stay away from her father. When Mona begins to get close to Aria’s brother, Aria really lets her have it, and Mona even makes a comment about Aria’s maliciousness. She has a tendency to become paranoid and suspicious of others, and can become combative and hostile under stress, often blurting out whatever she thinks or feels in the moment. When Aria kills Shana, she feels the need to do something to make it right. First, she wants to make a donation, and then she decides to go to Jenna in the aftermath to help her through it.

Note: I haven’t been able to bring myself to do a typing for Aria because of my tendency to go back and forth between INFP and ISFP for her. However, it seems that the third time watching the series was the charm, because I finally feel confident in declaring her an ISFP. I stand by what I’ve previously said about her. She’s a terribly written character, which makes typing her a serious pain. If you’re interested in reading my analysis of why typing her was a nearly impossible task, please feel free to read the article I posted here.

Enneagram: 4w3 Sx/Sp

Quotes:

Aria: I write, too, but so far it’s mostly personal… just for me.

Aria: Kind of lying here despondently right now, Spence. Spencer: Well, can you just sit despondently? I need the bed. Aria: No, lying is more despondent.

Ella: Well, sweetie, I was going to when you came over for dinner, but then you canceled on Monday… and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday. Aria: Yeah, this week’s been intense. Ella: I understand. I just, you know, I would like to see you in the flesh. But you don’t really plan on ever coming over, do you? Aria: I can’t. Look, if I did, it’d be like saying I’m okay with you and dad living apart. Ella: But we are. Aria: I know! Just ’cause you were ready for this doesn’t mean that I am. I gotta get back to the library.

Aria: I just want to lay in my bed and listen to sad music all day.

Aria: Stop talking! There’s nothing you could say that would change the way I feel right now.

Mike: If your relationship is so much trouble, why not just let it go? Aria: Look, when you love someone. It’s worth fighting for, no matter what the odds.

Aria: I know that you don’t want a friend right now, but that doesn’t mean that your friends don’t need you.

Aria: Look, we’re here now… …and it’s just the two of us. And it feels good. So let’s not care together.

Aria: We’re both here now. Can’t we just be happy we have that?

Ezra: Aria, let’s be real. We’re a lot more wrong than we are right. Aria: You wanna be real? Forget about theory. What does it feel like? When we’re together? Ezra: Good. It feels… right.

Spencer: He’s your boyfriend, Aria. He’s not a baby squirrel. Aria: I was just trying to do the right thing. Spencer: Totally wrong. Look, I’ve been there, I’ve done that. Every time you baby squirrel Ezra, you’re taking away his nuts. Aria: You did not just say that.

Aria: That is it! I will kick her back to New York if I have to. Spencer: Wait, Aria, stop. Before you do something you regret. Aria: Spence, let go of me! Spencer: There are teachers here. And parents – your parents. Aria: I don’t care!

Spencer: [to Aria] That was a suicide mission and you know it.

Aria: You’re leaving because it’s easier to walk away than to fight for what you really want.

Aria: I just came here to say that I signed up For the play for all the wrong reasons, So I’m officially done. You’re right, it was a terrible idea. Ezra: Aria- Aria: But you were wrong, too… About the future. You have no idea What’s gonna happen tomorrow. Nobody does. My friend Alison, she didn’t. She didn’t get a future. She didn’t even get to turn 16.

Aria: Look, Hanna, I really hope that you find a hobby. And I hope you have a carefree senior year, Em. But I’ve got to find a way to live with what I did in New York. I can be sorry for her loss. All right? That’s what I can do.

Emily: [to Aria] You’re suppose to stop her from doing stupid things like this, not help.

Aria: You know, years from now, people are gonna see this memorial… …and that’s all they’ll ever know about Ali. She’ll be the girl that they dedicated the bench to. And we’ll all be gone, but Ali will still be remembered.

Sean: Did you get – Aria: The flowers? Yeah. Don’t ever do that again. Sean: I’m sorry, are you – Aria: I’m one of Hanna’s best friends, Sean… The person you should be sending flowers to. Sean: I was just saying thanks for – Aria: No, you were saying ‘Screw you, Hanna.’ Sean: Okay, maybe I was, but can you blame me? She makes a big deal about going together, then bails. Aria: Stop! Hanna loves you, and you know it. She hasn’t talked about any other guy since the seventh grade, and believe me, it’s boring how much she loves you. Why would you want to hurt her?

Hanna: This was Shana’s. Aria: What? Hanna: Let’s just put it back. Aria: No, no, no. Hold on a second. Oh my God, look what she underlined. “It is a curious subject whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his subject.” Hanna: Aria, it’s probably just a school assignment. Aria: No, this is about Ali and Jenna and us. This is about being ‘A.’ Hanna: No, this is about you trying to paw through Shana’s things when you should be trying to forget about her. Aria: Well, there might be something in here. Hanna: Just stop.

Aria: Shana wasn’t “A.” I killed an innocent person. Ezra: Shana wasn’t innocent, Aria. Aria: Yeah, but the cops aren’t gonna believe that when they find out how long I’ve been covering this up. And it’s only a matter of time before “A” exposes what I did.

Aria: Look, Ezra, what happened the other night… Ezra: Felt right, didn’t it? Aria: It doesn’t mean that things can go back to the way that they were. Ezra: So what does it mean? Aria: Oh, I’m not gonna pretend like I don’t miss it, us, because I do. Ezra: I do, too. Aria: Yeah, but then I remember everything that happened and how we met, all the lies that you told. Ezra: Believe me, I wish I could go back and change things. Aria: But you can’t. And the other night was a mistake.

Simone: Your mom tells me you kept quite an intense journal, while you were away.

Aria: I try not to look back, but if there’s anything that I could change it would be that night.

Aria: Guys, please, enough with Jason for a minute. Mona knows that we were in New York. Don’t you understand? Okay, it’s only a matter of time before she runs out of whistles and start tearing our balloons and say Aria killed Shana. Hanna: Okay, whistles? Emily: Aria, stop. Okay. Mona does not know about Shana. Aria: Then who does? Who? Who is screwing with me? And you keep me telling me that “A” is dead. Hanna: “A” is dead, Aria. Aria: Then why am I hearing a violin in my backyard? Who’s the fiddler on my freaking roof?

[throwing the file into the water] Aria: There! It’s done! Okay? We never saw it. We don’t even know it exists. Can we leave now? Please?

Emily: Aria. Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Just got your text… I was with Ali. What are you doing? Aria: If we’ve been out here hiding her for a month it sure as hell needs start looking like it. Emily: Seriously, you can’t do this right now. Aria: Yeah, you’re right. We should have been out here last night filling this place with crap after Alison got that text. Oh, and thank you for keeping me in the dark about that. What am I? Your child? Emily: We only did that because you were such a mess when your dad came to the police station. Aria: Yeah and what? What you thought if I got a good night’s sleep, I’d just wake up in candy land? Emily: Okay, Aria calm down. That text wasn’t from “A”. Aria: How do you know that? Emily: Because I was there when Shana-slash-A was killed. Look… Spencer was right. It’s one thing not to contradict Ali’s story and it’s another to add to it. We can’t go down that rabbit hole again. Aria: Yeah, well, I can’t do nothing, all right? Because if “A” knows that I took down Shana.. Emily: Aria… Aria: I’m gonna be the… Emily: Shana had been using us as target practice for months, what you did was purely self-defense. Aria: It doesn’t matter. Someone is dead. All right, and she will never be able to recover or apologize or even graduate from high school because I killed her. I killed her, Emily, and I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to live with that. (breathes heavily) Emily: Aria… in that moment, it was you or her. I went through this after… Nate. You think that no one can understand what this feels like, but I’ve been there.

Aria: Hey. Oh, my God. Guys. She is seriously freaking me out. She knows that we were in New York. She threatened Ali. What if she knows about Shana, too? Spencer: Aria, look, you need to take a psychological selfie right now. You’re letting your paranoia get the better of you. Aria: Really? How do you know that all this isn’t all about Shana? Spencer: Because it’s not. It’s all about Ali. I’ve been fielding questions about her all day.

Aria: Hi. Sorry, it was really stupid of me not to call. Ezra: No, it’s okay. Is everything all right? Sit down, sit down. Aria: I can’t stop thinking about Shana’s family. I mean, every time I close my eyes all I can see is her grandmother and just how destroyed and how empty she looked at her funeral. Ezra: How did you know what she looked like at the funeral? Aria: ‘Cause I watched it online, many times. Ezra: Aria, you’re just going to have to find a way to forgive yourself.

Aria: Oh, I’m just a friend. I wasn’t able to send flowers so I was wondering if I could donate to the cost of the service. Woman: Well, her grandmother’s been a member of our congregation for a long time. I’m certain she would want to thank you for your… Aria; Oh, no, no, I’d really, really rather the donation be anonymous. Is it possible to send cash?

Aria: Okay, we need to get these boxes out of here right now. Ezra: Okay, let’s just slow down a second here. Aria: Tanner’s probably on her way back here with a search warrant. Ezra: She’s not on her way back here. Aria: How can you say that? I mean she basically said she knows that Shana was the one that shot you. Ezra: Well, then why would she want to search my place? Aria: ‘Cause she knows that you’re hiding something, that’s why. Ezra: Well, she’s gonna need a whole lot more than suspicion to get a search warrant. Aria: If she does come back, she’s gonna find proof that you were lying about how well you knew Shana and that Ali wasn’t kidnapped. Ezra: I guess I could move this stuff into my storage unit. Aria: Wait, no. No, because if it’s registered in your name they’re just gonna search that, too. Hmm, okay, let’s just put everything in my attic until we find a better place. My dad’s in Syracuse until Sunday. Ezra: Okay. That’s a good idea. Oh, what is this? Aria: Oh, my God, I think that’s supposed to be Mrs. DiLaurentis. Ezra: How can you tell? Aria: I mean that’s her house. She was obsessed with her roses. And she definitely wore scarves like that. Ezra: Bethany. Aria: How many Bethanys do you know? Ezra: Just one. And she was buried in Mrs. DiLaurentis’ backyard. Aria: Ezra, who would want you to have this? Ezra: Why? Aria: My money’s on “A”.

Charity (and other mods if that's applicable) would you ever consider revisting some of the shows/movies typings that may still have the old format and are inacurrate and/or incomplete? Ex: Ouat, Fringe, Gossip girl, PLL etc. I'm particuarly interested in Ouat because a couple of characters from it have "spoken" to me like no other and I suspect it's from the MBTI + Enneagram combo. I hope you'll consider it and thank you for your time regardless

Yes. I do want to eventually have old typings updated to match the better formula and to revisit them so I have more accurate ones. But to do that, I have to re-watch things due to my lousy Si not remembering specifics.

Which means… it may take me awhile. Unless I really loved a show, it’s hard for me to go back and re-watch episodes, because I already know where it’s going and there’s no longer any suspense involved in learning what happens next. There are a few things I typed from that I actually loathed, which means it’s unlikely I will ever revisit them. It’s also easier for me to easily access things that I can stream through Netflix or Amazon Prime, since otherwise I have to get them from the library, which requires more “effort” and when it arrives, I may or may not be in the “right mood” to watch it. Most of what you mentioned, though, I can stream so I’ll probably get around to it sooner or later.

Rose is working on updating the Les Miserables posts, so that’s one. ;)

CHARACTER

MORAL ALIGNMENT: { Lawful Good } A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. They combine a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. They tell the truth, keep their word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest. MBTI: { Mediator Personality INFP, -A/-T } Constant Improvement / Diplomat; 55% Introverted, 82% Intuitive, 86% Feeling, 80% Prospecting, 57% Turbulent ENNEAGRAM: { click. } TEMPERAMENT: { Sanguine }  The sanguine temperament is fundamentally spontaneous and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence. WESTERN ZODIAC: Virgo CHINESE ZODIAC: N/A PRIMAL SIGN: { Marmot } Loyal, helpful, and sensitive, those born under the sign of the Marmot are polite and well-mannered individuals who value balance and happiness above all else. They are extremely interested in people, both in a social and anthropological way. They don’t have the greatest instincts and may be more than a bit naive, but they are always kind and hospitable above all else.Some individuals find them a bit boring. This is a sign that can follow the same routine day in and day out as long as it suits their needs. They don’t like drama and shy away from confrontation whenever possible. It’s not that they are weak or afraid, they simply prefer to focus their energy on positive thoughts and have trouble understanding those who seek drama in their lives.

ILVERYMORNY HOUSE: Pukwudgies are healers. They may seem prickly and may even enjoy the occasional prank but are overwhelmingly warmhearted. Pukwudgie House was founded by James Steward, the No-Maj Co-founder of Ilvermorny. Pukwudgies may find that they have a propensity toward herbology or more practical areas of magic.

TAROT CARD: { The Magician }

[tvandenneagram]

Pretty Little Liars: Aria Montgomery - Type 4w3

Aria is creative, kind and sensitive. She is quirky with an unmistakably unique style and loves being unique.

At her best, Aria is a helpful and caring friend. She puts aside her own needs to help her friends and is well in tune with other’s feelings. Aria becomes more principled and approaches situations with a more objective stance. 

At her worst, Aria is manipulative and clingy. She is over attached to Ezra and neglects her friends for her relationship. Aria lets her emotions cloud her decision-making and will not think about the repercussions. She also joins the A-team because she was being blackmailed and felt she had no choice.

Aria is deeply emotional and this drives most of her decision-making. For example, she understands that it is wrong to date her English teacher, but because of the intense emotions she feels she has to pursue it. Aria feels her emotions deeply and will often journal to get her feelings out.

Aria is very creative and often uses artistic outlets like photography or drawing to channel this. She loves to see the beauty in the world and is interested in the arts, music and literature. Aria exhibits a somewhat ‘hipster’ vibe (especially in the earlier seasons) and is described as the ‘weird’ one in the group.

Aria is eccentric and bold in her fashion choices. She often uses this to project her unique self-image to the world. 4s enjoy standing out and being seen as ‘special’. Aria’s fashion choices, ebb and flow with the show but she always tries to express her individuality through her clothing choices.

4s tend to idealise romantic relationships and yearn to find the ideal partner. We see this in Aria, who immediately is smitten with Ezra upon meeting him. She thinks he is so cool and admires that he has the same ‘alternative’ taste in music as her. Aria feels like there is a connection there and that she has to pursue the relationship despite the obvious problems with it. She also doesn’t want to listen to any of the potential concerns her family and friends have about it because she thinks he is perfect. 

Aria shows her 3 wing, as she is more outgoing than a wing 5. Additionally, she is more concerned about what others think about her and image conscious than a wing 5.

Tri-type: 4w3 - 9w1 - 6w7

Some quotes to describe Aria’s motivations

“When you love someone, it's worth fighting for. No matter what the odds are.”

“Look, we’re here now, and it’s just the two of us, and it feels good. So let's not care together.”

“I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks.”

“I'm me because of what has happened, what I've done and because of who I love.”

“You're a freak and I love you.”

“I just want to lay in bed and listen to sad music all day”

“I’m just trying to figure out the way to say ‘Happy Birthday’ without the happy”

“The rest of you are gonna be waltzing off to sorority rush and I'm gonna be stuck picking up garbage in Rosewood. Yeah that'll be me, dodging A messages and wearing a big floppy hat to cover my bald spot.”

“Not really. We're still a freak show. Now, we're just a freak show in natural light.”

[tvandenneagram]

Pretty Little Liars: Hanna Marin - Type 6w7

Hanna is caring, independent and funny. She is a good friend and always has the back of the people that she cares about.

At her best, Hanna is kind- hearted and optimistic. She believes that everything will be ok and helps the group be less scared and nervous of the threat of A. She also becomes more secure and focused in her own life and knows what she wants to do with more clarity. 

At her worst, Hanna is reckless and impulsive. She makes decisions based on the moment and lands herself in hot water. She can also become aggressive and confrontational towards others.

Hanna starts the series as one of the most popular girls in school and seems very confident and outgoing. However, we learn that she is not as comfortable with herself as she appears. She was bullied for being overweight and worked hard after befriending Mona to become thinner. Despite this being a big motivator for Hanna, she doesn’t often talk about this to anyone and would rather forget that it even happened. She also finds herself becoming a bit of a mean girl, even though it isn’t really her personality.

Hanna has a rebellious streak and won’t let anyone tell her what to do. After her father left her mother she has moments of breaking the law and run ins at school. This is her acting out as she is unhappy about her situation at home but doesn’t want to address her unpleasant feelings. Despite this she is quite compliant towards authority and her mother Ashley she only does these things to try and gain the attention of her father and bring him back to town.

Hanna is very loyal to her loved ones and cares deeply about protecting them. Her friendship with Mona shows that she is reliable and will stand by her friends. However, when it is revealed that Mona was a part of the A team it can be seen how intensely this hurts Hanna as she truly considered Mona a trusted friend.

Hanna has a strong relationship with Caleb and is able to become more committed to him as the series goes on and she ends up with him. She finds it difficult opening up to him initially and it takes some time for her to feel comfortable with him. An area of conflict for them is keeping secrets from each other as a way to protect each other. While, they both understand the reasoning of the other it becomes an area that they have to address so that they are honest with each other.

Hanna has a wing 7 alas she is very extroverted and outgoing. She enjoys making people laugh and likes to lighten the mood whenever she can.

Tri-type: 6w7 - 3w2 - 8w7

Some quotes to describe Hanna’s motivations:

“You have been such a bitch to us, but we heard your story. We understand.”

“If being honest and truthful is so damn purifying, why do I feel like the bottom of somebody's shoe?”

"Everyone has a life that no one else knows about."

"Fool me once, shame on you. And fool my best friend, you're dead freakin' meat."

"I'm sick of this. We're lying to everybody, everybody is lying to us. No más!"

“You win! Okay? You can have us as your precious dolls, but if Caleb shows us here and you do anything to hurt him, I will kill you!”

[tvandenneagram]

Pretty Little Liars: Alison DiLaurentis - Type 3w2

Alison is charismatic, deceitful and manipulative. Throughout the series she was constantly changing herself, lying and creating new identities to survive.

At her best, Alison becomes more caring and more considerate about the feelings of others (integrating to 6). She begins to have a strong relationship with Emily that is built on mutual trust and she is devoted to her future. She also begins to stop lying and becomes more honest in her relationships, especially with the other Liars. However, she wouldn’t hesitate to go back into her old ways if it meant protecting the people she loved.

At her worst, Alison is extremely deceitful and doesn’t seem to care about anyone else. She does whatever she wants and thinks she can get away with it because she is so charming. Alison also asserts her dominance over the other Liars and wants to be the leader of both them and the school.

Alison was the queen bee of Rosewood and Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily all wanted her approval and affection. She was able to charm her way out of situations, and make people feel special if she felt it was necessary for her own self interests.

Alison was constantly lying throughout the series and she ended up trapped in a web of lies. She loved to discover secrets about people in her life, especially the Liars. Once she had this damaging information, she would use it to blackmail people and stay in control of them. For example, she blackmails Spencer to make her confess to flirting with Ian.

She shows her wing 2 as she is very extroverted and charming. She is also more likely to try and make contacts with others if they would be useful in the future.

Tri-type: 3w2 – 8w7 – 7w8

Some quotes to describe Alison’s motivations

“You think the truth is some big shiny disco ball of purity? Then go ahead and try it. Be honest. See what it gets you. Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me, you're always better off with a really good lie.”

“Sometimes lies are more interesting than the truth.”

“You may think you're winning the battle, but I'll win the war.”

“I turned around and it was just Charlotte and me. We were alone. In one way, Charlotte and I are alike - we put a lot of energy into being people no one could love. Like we were trying to prove something. And then someone looks at you and sees you, and it's alright. I don't want to keep it a secret anymore. I'm tired of secrets.”

“Oh honey, you didn't even know me when you knew me.”

“It's immortality, my darlings.”

“They know nothing about me.”

[mbtizone]

Caleb Rivers (Pretty Little Liars): ISTP

Dominant Introverted Thinking [Ti]: When it comes to understanding systems and analyzing problems for solutions, Caleb knows what he’s doing. He’s a brilliant hacker who is able to use his knowledge of computers to help the girls out of their various conundrums. He’s good at fixing things and improving them (upgrading the security system at the Radley for Ashley). Caleb illegally makes money in high school by upgrading phones for students, or by fixing them. When there’s a problem, Caleb is good at scanning for possible resolutions and determining which option would be the best course of action. When Caleb is younger, there is a sense of isolation and detachment about him. He has a witty, sarcastic sense of humor that he can sometimes use as a defense mechanism (though, as he develops, this becomes more playful and good-natured). Rules are of no consequence for Caleb, and he tends to work around them, or flat out break them. He has a curious mind and tends to questions things. Caleb is good at assessing situations from a rational, detached standpoint and delivering harsh truths when necessary. It can be difficult for Caleb to be understanding when people make emotional decisions. He can’t wrap his brain around why Hanna visits Mona at Radley. Mona tormented Hanna and made her life hell.

Auxiliary Extroverted Sensing [Se]: Caleb is good at responding to situations in the moment, with little to no time to actually come up with a plan. When he and Hanna are going through the receipts at the Radley in order to destroy the one that shows Spencer’s signature on Archer Dunhill’s card, he realizes that they are running out of time, and, in an effort to prevent Spencer from getting in trouble, he quickly busts open a pipe allowing the room to be flooded, along with the piece of evidence that could be used against Spencer. Caleb is very street smart and is shown to have a keen awareness of his surroundings. He’s skilled at seeing opportunities and seizing them. He originally gets involved with the girls because he’s acting as a spy for Jenna. Sometimes, Caleb can make rash decisions in the heat of the moment, which can sometimes lead to him being scrutinized by the Rosewood police force. When Emily is desperate to talk to Maya, Caleb makes it so she’ll be able to call her and charges an extra $40 for a rush job. When Hanna didn’t want Ella going to Philadelphia, he removed a piece from her car, which prevented her from being able to go. Caleb tends to live in the moment and doesn’t get too hung up about his future. Sometimes, Caleb can throw himself into sensory pleasure to distract himself from other things, such as when he returns from Ravenswood and develops a drinking problem.

Tertiary Introverted Intuition [Ni]: Sometimes, Caleb is proven to have very good intuition and insight. He observes and notices what’s going on around him (Se) and comes to sharp conclusions (Ni) about people or things based on what he takes in. Caleb doesn’t usually talk much about the future or his plans for it. All he seems to know for certain is that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Hanna. He’s certain of that much. Caleb sometimes comes to broad generalizations, or universal truths, about things or people. “The rich girls steal. The pretty girls lie. The smart girls play dumb. And the dumb girls spend their days trying to be all of the above.” He notices that the pen the man claiming to be James Leland is using is a “crappy” one, and, from this external observation (Se), Caleb comes to the conclusion that this man is an imposter and not who he says he is.

Inferior Extroverted Feeling [Fe]: When he wants to, Caleb is capable of opening up about his emotions, especially where Hanna is concerned. He cares very deeply for people and wants to help them and protect them. Typically, Caleb doesn’t allow morality to get in the way of what he wants to do. When we first meet him, he’ll do just about anything to make a few bucks, whether it’s by hacking, espionage, or illegally tampering with cellphones. His feelings can be hurt, and when this happens, he can sometimes resort to drastic actions instead of trying to work things out with dialogue (such as when he leaves Hanna after he begins to feel like her life revolves around her career). When Caleb begins to fall for Hanna, he stops helping Jenna and becomes loyal to her and her alone. Caleb is willing to lie to the people he cares about in order to protect them. He doesn’t have a strong moral code and, under the right circumstances, there isn’t much that he isn’t willing to go along with. He doesn’t mind doing something “wrong” and, though he does ask questions out of curiosity, he doesn’t tend to object on moral grounds.

Enneagram: 6w5 Sp/Sx

Quotes:

Caleb: I don’t know who you are or what kind of game you think you’re playing, but guess what? If you can change the rules, so can we. Goodbye.

Caleb: What’s complicated? I don’t live in a cave, I get it. The rich girls steal. The pretty girls lie. The smart girls play dumb. And the dumb girls spend their days trying to be all of the above.

Caleb: For the record, I am going to help you stop A, and I’m not asking for your permission.

Caleb: I hacked into your computer system, and I found the location where you lost the van. Tanner: You just admitted to a federal offense.

Caleb: Most of my life I’ve felt alone, even when I was with people.

Hanna: She was my best friend in tenth grade. Caleb: Yeah, and then she threw you a few poisoned apples.

Caleb: I would rather you hate me and be safe than the other way around.

Hanna: You don’t know the first thing about me. Caleb: No, you don’t know the first thing about you.

Toby: This is about doing the right thing. Caleb: There is no right thing. There’s only by the book or save our ass.

Hanna: Caleb, what are you doing here? Caleb: Exit exams. Hanna: How is reading about monsters going to help you? Shouldn’t you be studying? Caleb: I’ll wing it. Hanna: You can’t wing it. It’s like all of high school in one test. Caleb: If they ask who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, I’ll say Daniel Day Lewis.

Caleb: I should have told you in person, I just… I had never said the things that I was feeling, and I didn’t feel that I could say those things without making a complete ass of myself. Pretty much like I am right now… So I wrote you a letter. And in the letter Is aid I was sorry. Most of my life, I have felt alone, even when I was with people… that was until I met you.

Caleb Rivers (Pretty Little Liars): ISTP was originally published on MBTI Zone

[mbtizone]

Emily Fields (Pretty Little Liars): ISFJ

Dominant Introverted Sensing [Si]: Accepting who she is doesn’t come easily for Emily. Traditional norms seem to have more value to her than they do to her friends, which might have something to do with the household she was raised in. Emily enjoys decorating for Christmas and gets excited about doing it every year for her family. It’s harder for her to objectively see Alison for who she really was than it is for the other girls because Emily’s memories are subjective. She idealizes the relationship that she once had with Alison, and chooses to remember the good instead of the emotional abuse she was subjected to at Alison’s hand. Emily strives for a normal life. When Spencer and Emily go to a party on a college campus, they have entirely different motivations for being there. Spencer is all about the sleuthing and getting answers about “A”. Emily wants to go to the school, and has no desire to play detective with Spencer. She just wants to talk to sorority sisters about getting a scholarship. Emily usually has the most trouble when it comes to moving on or letting go. She’s resistant to change and doesn’t want to uproot her entire life by moving to Texas.

Auxiliary Extroverted Feeling [Fe]: Emily is warm and affirming. When one of her friends are down, she usually uses statements like, “We’re here for you” or “We’ll get through this”. She cares about her friends, family, and significant others very deeply and is always there for them in their time of need. She’s supportive, nurturing, and kind. Sometimes, it can be difficult for Emily to take sides. More than any of the other girls, Emily values harmony and becomes visibly uncomfortable when people aren’t getting along or fight in front of her. She has a gentler touch and doesn’t like to hurt other people’s feelings, so she can sometimes sugarcoat the truth. When Hanna openly talks about the harsh reality of the situation with Aria’s parents, Emily is more comforting, telling Aria that the fighting doesn’t necessarily mean that their relationship is over and that they might just need some time. Emily is extremely protective of the people in her life and likes helping others. What people think of her is important. She doesn’t want her friends knowing that she’s befriended Toby, and she struggles with being able to come out as a lesbian because she’s afraid of what people will think or say. Emily’s morality seems to come from group consensus. She tends to go along with whatever the group decides is the best thing to do, even when she has reservations about it.

Tertiary Introverted Thinking [Ti]: When Emily is fighting with someone, she is very good at pointing out the logical flaws in their argument. Emily needs time to think things over before making decisions. When she’s struggling with her feelings for Maya, she needs some space to sort things out in her head. Sometimes, Emily has a tendency to over-analyze things. She’s afraid that if she starts seeing Maya romantically, she might come to discover that she miscalculated who she really is. (“But what if I’m wrong? What if I’m not… that person?”) When everyone is telling her that Toby is dangerous, she can’t bring herself to believe it, and provides rational arguments in his defense. If he wanted to hurt her, he had the opportunity to do it, so why didn’t he? Toby had been nothing but kind to her, and she uses her prior experiences with him (Si) in order to develop reasonable arguments (Ti) when her friends attempt to crucify him.

Inferior Extroverted Intuition [Ne]: Beginning a relationship with Maya is frightening for Emily because “everything would change.” Taking chances and living spontaneously isn’t really Emily’s thing, though she becomes more open to it as she grows and matures. Emily can think of all the ways something might go wrong, and is usually the most reluctant to participate in potentially risky schemes. Change tends to scare Emily and, while she usually isn’t very accepting of it, she is able to try new things or go new places on her own terms, such as when she made the decision to move to California for college.

Enneagram: Emily is a little complex. Her tritype is definitely some combination of 6, 2, and 9, but the actual order is where I falter, because she has such strong traits of all three types. I’ve seen her typed as 6w5, 9w1, 2w3, and 2w1 and they all make complete sense for her. Before Emily had fully grown, I saw the 2 argument a lot more, but she’s developed a lot over the years, so, I’ve decided to rule 2 out as her dominant type. I would probably say the same of the 9 typing. She stands her ground much more often now and I wouldn’t really describe her as complacent anymore. So, my final ruling is 6w5 9w1 2w3 So/Sp.

Quotes:

Hanna: I mean, you took Toby to the dance, but then you took that picture with Maya. Emily: I think I know what I want, but if I say yes to Maya, everything would change. You know it would. Hanna: Yeah, it would. You wouldn’t have to pretend you’re someone you’re not. Emily: But what if I’m wrong? What if I’m not… that person? Hanna: Emily, you’re not signing a contract. You were Emily dating Ben, and now you’re Emily dating Maya. We love Emily. No one cares who you’re with. Emily: Really? Have you met my parents… Mr. and Mrs. military and their perfect daughter.

Emily: If Toby killed Alison and wanted to do the same to me, then why am I sitting in my bed and not in a body bag?

Emily: You don’t have a monopoly on pain, Spencer. Everybody has their fair share. Okay but we get through it because we have each other.

Emily: This is me relaxed. Hanna: We’re gonna have to work on that.

Hanna: You love zombie movies. Emily: I like watching them. I don’t wanna be in one.

Emily: I think that Ali is holding all of our brains hostage and we won’t be able to sleep until we find out what really happened to her.

Emily: Sometimes things look bad, and they’re really not. Sometimes there’s another explanation for what’s going on.

Emily: I’m not afraid of Toby. Wayne: You’re afraid of something. I can see it in your eyes. Now, what is it? Emily: I’m afraid of you and Mom. Wayne: Why are you afraid of us? Emily: Because I’m not who you think I am. Wayne: You’re Emily Fields, my little girl… Emily: It’s not that simple. Wayne: Emmy – Emily: I’m gay. I’m gay.

Emily: [as Toby is assigned a seat in Chem Lab] Oh, please, no. Not here. Oh, please, oh, please, oh, please. Toby: So, I guess we’re lab partners. You okay with that? Emily: Sure.

God… why is everything so easy for you? Emily: Easy? What planet do you live on? I’ve spent most of my life trying not to feel the way I feel. I come out and they ship my first girlfriend off to who-knows-where. And now maybe she’s done with me. So, yeah! It’s all about me. It’s all about Emily! All Em, all the time! [Paige suddenly kisses Emily very passionately for several seconds before slowly pulling away] Paige: [frightened and desperate tone] Please… don’t tell. [Paige runs off while Emily looks completely stunned]

Spencer: Do you want to talk to the Deltas or the Kappas? Emily: Neither! Look, I know that this is important, but can we please put a pin in this? I don’t want to do this tonight. Spencer: Why? This is the reason we came here. Emily: No, it isn’t! I came here to talk to sorority sisters about a scholarship. Yeah, that’s right, I actually want to get into this “podunk” school. Spencer: So you’re not here to help me find a number? Emily: No. I’m here for me. Spencer: [laughs] Okay, well, now it all makes sense. Emily: What makes sense? Spencer: Oh, you batting those camel lashes at Brendan. Smiling, laughing at everything he says… Emily: It’s called being nice. Spencer: It’s called flirting. Emily: I don’t think Brendan confused interest with flirtation. Spencer: Well, I’ll tell you what I’m not confused about. The fact that all weekend you’ve conveniently failed to mention that you’re gay! Emily: No, you didn’t. Spencer: I just didn’t think that you were the type of person who would lead somebody on just to get what you wanted. Emily: Nice coming from the girl who whipped off her bra to get back on the decathlon team. Okay, I wasn’t leading him on. I was being charming! Spencer: Could of fooled me. Emily: You wouldn’t know the difference, you’ve never had to be charming. You get to act like a total snot-rag, ’cause mommy and daddy have a safety net of cash to catch your fall!

Hanna Marin (Pretty Little Liars): ESFP

Dominant Extroverted Sensing [Se]: When we first meet Hanna, she has secured the position of Rosewood High’s Queen Bee. Hanna can sometimes engage in reckless, impulsive behavior, such as shoplifting and excessive drinking. Hanna enjoys life’s sensory pleasures and can be a bit materialistic. She loves high fashion so much that she makes a career out of it. Hanna isn’t preoccupied with worrying about the future – she prefers to live in the present. Hanna is unafraid to take charge in situations. When she finds a gun in her mom’s closet, she instinctively takes it, brings it with her to a party and tries to dispose of it, only to be caught by the police. She doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about what she’s going to do – she just does it. Hanna picks up on cues in her environment and is able to draw conclusions from the data she collects, such as when she is able to sense something off between Aria and Mr. Fitz in class.

Auxiliary Introverted Feeling [Fi]: Though Hanna doesn’t spend a lot of time talking about her feelings, she does act on them. If she’s feeling emotional about something, she tends to express it through her impetuousness. She doesn’t want to see a therapist and doesn’t like to open up about her emotions, opting to act out during times of stress instead. Even though Hanna is popular, she dislikes when people are cruel to those they deem inferior. When Mona attacks Lucas, Hanna defends him, because not so very long ago, Hanna was a social outcast just like he was, so she is able to identify with him. Hanna and Mona didn’t like being treated that way, so why is it okay for them to tease others? It’s hypocritical. To Mona, popularity is the most important thing, but Hanna cares about decency and kindness. Though material possessions are very important to Hanna, she decides to sell her clothes and handbags online in order to get some extra money when her mom begins to struggle financially. Hanna tends to present herself the same way no matter who she’s with. Hanna is who she is and she doesn’t adjust her behavior or her demeanor to suit others. What you see is what you get. She doesn’t typically care about keeping things harmonious – if she has a problem with you, she’ll let you have it…

Tertiary Extroverted Thinking [Te]: … and when she does let you have it, she doesn’t hold back. She’ll be very straightforward and direct. When Hanna picks up on something, she can usually comes up with a snappy one-liner to bring it to the attention of others. She tends to notice a lot and enjoys passing comments about the things she observes. Hanna is very witty, fierce, and has no problem diving right into things (Se-Te). Hanna doesn’t normally back down in any situation. When she wants something, she goes after it without inhibition. If there’s something she needs to do, Hanna will get it done (Se-Te). She doesn’t take in knowledge for fun. When she seeks out information, there’s usually a specific reason.

Inferior Introverted Intuition [Ni]: Because Hanna lives in the here and now, she doesn’t usually think about consequences or worry about how she’s going to achieve things. She doesn’t really plan for the future and tends to take things as they come. Hanna can sometimes jump to incorrect conclusions. When she notices that Aria is down, she assumes that she’s hung up on a guy back in Iceland. She follows her intuitive judgments, which at times, can be accurate, but are often a bit misguided. Hanna isn’t great at picking up on subtext or looking beyond the surface, but every once in a while, she is able to see what’s really going on. When Hanna does realize her dreams, she becomes so determined to achieve them that her personal life suffers as a result. Her focus on furthering her fashion career cost her her relationship with Caleb.

Enneagram: 7w8 Sx/So Note: I ALWAYS see Hanna typed as a 6w7, which really surprises me. Sixes tend to be committed, anxious, and responsible, whereas sevens are impulsive, pleasure-seeking, and impatient, which sounds a lot more like Hanna to me. She’s also assertive and unafraid of confrontation. I just don’t really see many six traits in her, but I know Type 6 seems to be the general consensus for Hanna.

Quotes:

[the girls know that Jenna can see, and discussing what to do about it]

Hanna: I say we push a table in front of her and see what she does. Spencer: Hanna, you have all the subtlety of a hand grenade. Hanna: [Not getting the sarcasm] Thank you.

Emily: I think what Hanna means is- Hanna: No, Hanna knows what Hanna means.

Tom Marin: You’re a good girl, Hanna. You’ve always been a good girl. You can get a little overenthusiastic. I remember you as a great tree-climber. The problem was, you’d sometimes need some help to get back down.

Hanna: Yeah, and framing her for a murder. So what am I supposed to do now, nothing? I mean, if Mona didn’t put that phone in the casket, then who did? And who sent that tape of us outside of Wilden’s car? And who stole Mona’s hate-mobile? Melissa? Jenna? Shana? Aria: You could always go ask her yourself. Aria: Hanna? I wasn’t serious. Han- Hanna: Hey! You saving that seat for your gal pal Jenna? Shana: Excuse me? Hanna: Don’t act like you haven’t heard that name before. Jen-na. Why’d you skip wilden’s funeral? Aria: Hanna- Hanna: Jenna was there, why weren’t you? You three were all buds, right? Where were you yesterday?! Shana: I was at swim practice. But I don’t recall signing a contract that said I had to report that to you. Aria: Okay, Hanna, let’s go- Hanna: So swimming laps is more important than saying goodbye to an old friend? Shana: What old friend? Hanna: The groggy scumbag you and Jenna scraped off of the road the night he was hit by a car. Aria: Hanna, come on.

Hanna: I always hated biology. I mean who cares how a cell divides, it just does.

Aria: “Unable are the loved to die for love is immortality.” Hanna: That’s creepy. Aria: It’s Emily Dickinson. Hanna: I don’t care if it’s Santa Claus, considered me creeped.

Hanna: Look, I have already gotten busted for stealing sunglasses and my boyfriend’s car. Spencer: Wait, you stole sunglasses? From who? Hanna: Not from a person, from a store. God, I have some class.

Hanna: Meredith? Her name is Meredith. Ew. That’s not even a cute girl name. I’m seeing big pores and mousy roots. Spencer: Hanna, I think it’s a little too soon to joke. Hanna: I’m sorry, but if you’re going to cheat, you might as well do it with somebody who deep-conditions her hair occasionally. Spencer: Here [passing Hanna a bagel], put something in your mouth besides your foot.

Aria: Hanna stop eating so much Hanna: Why? Aria: Because… Just don’t eat it, it could be poisoned… Just like Charles poisoned us Hanna: I don’t care, I’m hungry.

Hanna: You don’t know the first thing about me. Caleb: No, you don’t know the first thing about you.

Mona: If you and I start slipping up, we’re going to be right back at the bottom again. Hanna: Yeah. Well, I’m starting to think I’ve lost a few things on the climb up.

Ashley: Hanna, compassion. Hanna: I have it, just not in the morning.

Hanna: I’m gonna pick out my college, the same way I pick out my clothes. From a catalog.

Hanna: I have enough daddy-issues of my own. I can’t deal with having issues about hers too.

Hanna: Spencer, stop giving us orders. We’re not your winged monkeys.

Ashley Marin (Pretty Little Liars): ESTP

Dominant Extroverted Sensing [Se]: Ashley tends to make impulsive, short-sighted decisions in the interest of protecting her daughter and keeping her household afloat. She is attracted to luxury and is always impeccably dressed. She understands the importance of physical appeal and makes sure to get Hanna the best of everything. If Ashley sees an opportunity to get herself or her daughter out of trouble, she takes it. After Hanna is caught shoplifting, she begins a sexual relationship with a detective in exchange for him helping to get the charges against her dropped. When her home is nearly foreclosed on, she steals a large sum of money from a customer’s bank account (who never touches her money and only comes in once a year) in order to keep her house.

Auxiliary Introverted Thinking [Ti]: When there are a number of options to choose from, Ashley is good at seeing which course of action would be the most efficient. Ashley does what makes sense to her, and she rarely explains her actions unless she is explicitly questioned about them. She doesn’t discuss her actions aloud and her process is a private one that she doesn’t like to share. She’s logical and tends to think about situations objectively. When a problem arises, Ashley needs time to think about things on her own in order to decide what to do about it. When the money in the lasagna box goes missing, she requests silence from Hanna and goes off on her own to think. She is good at scanning her surroundings (Se) and using her observations to come to logical conclusions (such as realizing that Caleb has been living in her house).

Tertiary Extroverted Feeling [Fe]: Because Ashley understands the importance of social status in high school, she provides Hanna with everything she could ever need to be popular. She is afraid of what other people might think of her and her family She hates having to tell people about what happened between her and her husband because he left her and she dislikes how that makes her look to others. She doesn’t want anyone to find out about Hanna’s indiscretions because a shoplifting scandal will have people talking. People don’t forget things like that in Rosewood, so it’s important to maintain a good reputation. What other people think of you matters. She cares very much about her own image, as well as her daughter’s. Ashley knows how to manipulate the people around her when she needs to, and is willing to make morally ambiguous decisions (such as sleeping with Wilden) in the interest of protecting both her child, as well at her reputation. Ashley goes out of her way to welcome Emily into her home when she moves in after her mother moves to Texas to be closer to her father. She is inviting, accepting, and generous. Ashley is empathetic and good at relating to other people. When Byron comes over just after his separation from Ella, he is disheartened to learn that everyone on the street knows about what happened between them. However, she remains nonjudgmental, and opens up about her own experiences following her divorce from her husband.

Inferior Introverted Intuition [Ni]: When Ashley is backed into a corner, she doesn’t pay very much attention to the possible consequences of her actions. She just does whatever she needs to do in the moment, and usually deals with the fallout after the fact. She is driven by the need to protect herself and her daughter at all costs, and will do whatever she needs to do in order to make sure they are taken care of. She wants Hanna to have a good future and does whatever it takes to ensure that. Ashley’s instincts are often very good and she can tell when people are being dishonest with her.

Enneagram: 3w2 Sp/Sx

Quotes:

Ashley Marin: It’s only a felony if they find out.

Ashley Marin: Just because somebody hurt us once doesn’t mean we have to permanently delete them from our phonebook. Things change, people grow.

Ashley Marin: I will crush anyone who tries to hurt you.

Ashley Marin: In a small town like this, what people think about you matters. Hanna: I know. Ashley Marin: Then why would you risk it all to steal a pair of sunglasses? Hanna, I buy you everything you need to be popular.

Ashley Marin: This is about your father, isn’t it? You think this is going to get is attention. Hanna: I made a mistake. Ashley Marin: In Rosewood, you don’t have room to make a mistake. And neither do I. Hanna: I’m sorry. I’ll fix it somehow. Ashley Marin: You will deny you did anything wrong. It was a misunderstanding. Hanna: But- Ashley Marin: I’m taking care of it.

Ashley Marin: Hanna, compassion. Hanna: I have it, just not in the morning.

Ashley Marin: When they find the maniac who did this to you, I will kill him. After I kill him, I will sue him.

Ashley Marin: I don’t take sides. I know that things are never black and white.

Ashley Marin: I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, understand? Emily: Yeah, I do.

Ashley Marin: Hanna, I know when you’re being dishonest with me before you even start talking.
