Angela Petrelli Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Angela Petrelli? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Angela Petrelli from Heroes and what is the personality traits.
ESTJ (3w4)
Angela Petrelli personality type is ESTJ, which is a combination of Extraverted Sensing and Thinking. In this personality type, people are focused on efficiency and competence, and they tend to work best in a team.
In Petrelli, these traits are heightened. Petrelli is always working on something, and is always thinking about how she can improve her own situation. This is due to the fact that she's had to think on her feet and decide how to get what she needs, and she has also had to fight for what she wants — and she has fought for herself more than once.
I've talked about Petrelli's ESTJ personality type in the past, and it's definitely one of the most interesting of the four main personality types I've discussed so far. I've also written about her extraverted sensing and thinking in my review of the second season of Heroes.
Now, this personality type is more associated with male characters than female characters, but that's not the case with Angela — especially when you consider that she's an ISTJ (introverted sensing and thinking) and this is her dominant function.
Angela Petrelli, portrayed by Cristine Rose, is a fictional character featured in the television show Heroes. She is the mother of Nathan and Peter Petrelli. The character is based upon the Angela Lansbury character Mrs. Iselin in the film The Manchurian Candidate. In both cases the leading female role has a hidden agenda and wishes to make her son President or a leader at any cost. She has the ability to see into the future and the past through dreams, and can also enter and manipulate other people's dreams. This was not revealed until the show's third-season premiere. Angela served as the main antagonist of the webseries: "The Recruit".
