What is the personality type of Elinor Dashwood? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Elinor Dashwood from Sense & Sensibility 2008 and what is the personality traits.
Elinor Dashwood personality type is ISTJ, because she’s the only one of the sisters who doesn’t have by far the biggest crush on Mr. Darcy.
While I think that might be a little unfair, to her. If that were true, then all four of the Dashwood sisters would have to have that big crush on him, right? But no, they don’t. That’s only three out of four sisters.
And I think it’s interesting that if you take Mr. Darcy out of the equation, all four sisters are ISTJ. All four sisters are focused on order and structure, both for their family, and in their own lives. They are all focused on working hard for what they want.
Also, watch the movie again. It’s not just that Elinor doesn’t have a crush on Mr. Darcy. It’s that she’s not interested in him at all! She doesn’t even talk to him! I mean, at one point, she says she doesn’t even like him! She just thinks he is an arrogant jerk! But she does talk to her sister at one point.
