INFP (4w5)
Frankenstein's monster personality type is INFP, so he is definitely an ENFP. But this isn't the only personality type he is, he's also an INFJ.
The INFJ personality type is often characterized by introverted intuition, feeling, deep thinking, and people-pleasing. This character, like the other personalities in the film, is very focused on the human condition, and how people think. He has brilliant insights into human nature, and what makes people tick. Seriously, the man's mind is like a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
But when he initially meets Victor (played by Daniel Radcliffe), the INFJ in him in immediately in love with him. He thinks Victor is super interesting, and maybe in love with him in some way. But when Victor is killed, the INFJ in him is broken. It's like he can't stop thinking about Victor... and this is also when his personality type gets changed to ESTP.
When he is in the "monster" stage of his personality type, he is an INFJ, but when he goes to "human" stage of his personality type, he is an ESTP.
Frankenstein's monster or Frankenstein's creature, often informally referred to as simply "Frankenstein", is a fictional character who first appeared in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Shelley's title thus compares the monster's creator, Victor Frankenstein, to the mythological character Prometheus, who fashioned humans out of clay and gave them fire. In Shelley's Gothic story, Victor Frankenstein builds the creature in his laboratory through an ambiguous method based on a scientific principle he discovered. Shelley describes the monster as 8 feet tall and terribly hideous, but emotional. The monster attempts to fit into human society but is shunned, which leads him to seek revenge against Frankenstein. According to the scholar Joseph Carroll, the monster occupies "a border territory between the characteristics that typically define protagonists and antagonists".
