Before I begin, I feel I should point out that I realise this probably doesn't belong here because it is not really about the MBTI or Enneagram or psychological personality typing systems. But this has been bugging me for a while and I don't know where else I can ask this question. This is the only forum I know of where everyone is discussing personalities. Please bare with me and don't be angry. If you can think of a more appropriate place to post this, just tell me and I will gladly take this inquiry there.
Now to business.
I have been trying to figure out which Disney heroine I am most like. I first thought it was Belle, but then I realised I'm not as sweet and forgiving as she is. Then I started shifting to Mulan, Pocahontas, and Megara. Basically, I just thoroughly confused myself. So I found this questionnaire online at Which Disney hero are you?, I filled it out, and I thought I would ask you guys to weigh in, if it is not too much trouble.
(By the way, when I say heroines, I mean the 6 main princesses, Tiana, Rapunzel, Mulan, Pocahontas, Megara, Esmeralda, Jane Porter, Kida, Alice, and Wendy.)
Describe your personality: The most obvious things about me are that I am independent, passionate, opinionated, head-strong, and idealistic. I know what my opinions and values are and will not hesitate to voice them when I see fit. Even in my family, the beliefs I have are not the norm so people sometimes me as argumentative and stubborn and I am often the "unusual", "weird", or "quirky" one. Unfortunately, because of this, I can be quite socially anxious and self-doubting. I don't change myself or my beliefs, but I do get self-conscious and I may withdraw if I feel I am being judged.
I value fairness, compassion, equality, and understanding and will defend these beliefs no matter what. I am not exactly a fighter, but I can be pretty verbally combative. I can also be pretty sarcastic and sometimes cynical. My mother really hates that.
That being said, I am relatively non-confrontational for the most part. I may be opinionated, but I back down when things get too heated. However, if that is the case, I will not just role over and submit. I don't like being controlled or told what to do. So instead of fighting and yelling and raising my voice, I quietly resist by either being sneaky or by being passive aggressive.
In terms of romance, I am a romantic at heart, but because I am afraid of people judging me, I often use cynicism and sarcasm to attempt not to appear vulnerable. When I am asked about crushes or boyfriends, I tend to scoff and say they are more trouble than they are worth (and although this is partially true, another part of me really relishes the idea of a romantic relationship). Unfortunately, this technique is not particularly conducive to romance. It should be noted though, that I use sarcasm and cynicism to protect against all kinds of vulnerability, not just the romantic kind. I don't like to appear weak or like I can't handle myself. This also means I try to do things on my own and don't often ask for help even when I need it.
Although I am fairly accommodating and understanding when it comes to other people, I can be quite a perfectionist about myself and my work. I have very high standards for myself and it really bothers me when I don't meet those standards. I suppose this is another reason I can be self-doubting.
I am a pretty nervous person. I can be a little paranoid and often mentally prepare for worst case scenarios. However, this doesn't mean I am always freaking out. On the contrary, troubleshooting gives me a sense of control and that is how I appear on the surface. That being said, I do tend to be irritable when under a lot of stress. My kind of nervousness is NOT whipping myself up into a tizzy and clucking about like a headless chicken.
I am introverted and tend to keep to myself quite a bit. I really abhor parties and socialising in massive groups. I prefer intimate setting and dealing with small groups of friends. I also really enjoy my own company. Some people may consider me anti-social or aloof because of this, but I feel much more relaxed and at home when I am on my own. I usually take this time for introspection and trying to understand myself. I consider myself a case study that I am constantly examining and learning about. It is one of my favourite things to do. I can also be very thoughtful/imaginative/fanciful. I spend a lot of time in my head daydreaming when I am alone.
I consider myself to be quite creative and resourceful, not only artistically, but in day to day life as well. I am often very good at troubleshooting and coming up with many solutions to a problem.
I am pretty lacking in the self-control department and can be quite impulsive. However, I do have some sense of responsibility and I can be counted on when something is important.
I can be very playful and child-like. I don't like being serious all the time and I despise drama. I enjoy having a good laugh, being silly, and not taking things so seriously all the time.
I am fairly spiritual. It is a big part of my life. I don't subscribe to a particular religion because I believe that all religions are based on the same fundamental principles and are just shrouded in doctrine. I concern myself with the underlying principles only.
I am a proud feminist!
Positive and negative traits you would have as a hero: independent, passionate (wears heart on sleeve), opinionated, head-strong, idealistic, fair, unpretentious, self-doubting, impulsive, quirky, resourceful, imaginative, nervous/anxious, introverted, introspective
What do you consider to be some of your worst fears?
- Having no friends/loosing all the people I care about (I am quite introverted so it is difficult for me to make friends. The few I have are very precious to me and I always fear loosing them and being alone.)
- Pain (I'm afrain of pain, not death.)
- Rejection (This is a big one, and I use sarcasm and introversion as a way to defend against it.)
- Failure (Disappointing my family especially.)
- And then the typical stuff: heights and the dark
What would be your weapons of choice? In a fight, I prefer to be able to have a macro view of the fighting and be able to strategize, so I suppose I prefer long range, projectile weapons.
Your outfit (it's design and colors): If we are talking about character outfits, then a sleek, feminine medieval gown with those awesome long sleeve. Jewellery is very delicate. Probably just a little pendant.
Oh, and by sleek, I don't mean formfitting. More like loosely hugging the body. Not a big fan of poofy skirts either.
Favourites (colour, food, music, etc.):
Colour: purple and orange (rich shades)
Food: I really don't know. I suppose I tend to like pastries and chocolates. But honestly like a LOT of things.
Music: Upbeat music I can dance to and movie soundtrack and scores
Books: philosophy, psychology, self-help
Hobbies: painting, sketching, dancing, reading
Love or Hate (which do you find you do more of): Love!
Determined or Accepting: It really depends. Usually accepting, but if it is something I care about, I can be very determined.
Making your own Destiny or Accepting Fate: There is a certain element of fate in life (what I like to call Divine Purpose), but our we definitely have a hand in creating our own destiny. Short answer: a bit of both.
Brave or Safe: Usually safe, though definitely have brave moments
Pacifist or Temperamental: I suppose I am pretty temperamental (but pretty quietly)
Quiet or outspoken: Depends on the crowd: outspoken with friends and people I know well, quiet around strangers
Forgiving or vengeful: In the middle: not exactly forgiving, but I am not vengeful at all. I usually tend to cut the person out of my life in situations like that.
Leader or follower: I will follow until the leader proved himself/herself to be incompetent or started making decisions that contradicted my values, at which point I would rebel, leave, or seek to replace him/her as the leader.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
From experience, I know that for me, it is not where you are, it is who you are with. I could probably learn to live anywhere as long as the people I love are with me.
How would you defeat the villain?
I consider myself pretty resourceful, so I figure that would be what helps me defeat the villain. I would probably come up with some creative, though admittedly unusual way of kicking his/her ass.
Damsel in distress, loner, anti-hero--which type describes you best?
I would probably be a loner. I spend an inordinate amount of time in my own company so it is really the most likely scenario.
If you want, I can make this a little more relevant and ask whether you think my current typing is accurate. I have, thus far, identified myself as an INFP and Type 6 on the Enneagram.
I want to thank you guys in advance for not virtually stoning me to death if you didn't think this was appropriate, and also to those who were kind enough to answer.
