Ashley Wilkes Personality Type, MBTI
What is the personality type of Ashley Wilkes? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Ashley Wilkes from Gone With The Wind 1939 and what is the personality traits.
INFP (9w1)
Ashley Wilkes personality type is INFP, but her personal history — and the history of her family — indicate other possibilities. She's a highly sensitive person, and she's also likely to be an introvert, meaning she's more likely to spend time alone or doing other things that don't require a lot of interaction. She's likely to be a thinker, and she might have been shy as a child. As a teenager, she might have experienced a lot of pain, and she might have been very quiet and withdrawn.
But she also has a narrative about her family that suggests that while she might have been a sensitive, quiet child, her family wasn't really that bad. Her mother was a single parent, but she was a good parent. She took care of her children and did her best not to let them get hurt. It's hard to know if Ashley was abused, but it seems unlikely that this would have happened to her parents' knowledge. And while it's possible that Ashley has been damaged or scarred by being abused, it's also possible that the abuse happened, but she just hasn't processed it yet. Or maybe it happened and she did process it, but her current situation is telling her that it wasn't really all that bad.
