Hey lovely enfp! love them enfps they're the sugar of life fr I - as an infp myself - relate to being stereotyped enfps being stereotyped as airheads despite being the most creative people out there lol infps tend to be stereotyped as overly sensitive and cry babies so I feel you lmao😭 dw author 🫶 stereotypes are nothing but bs they're wrong even if they're right.
Anyways, this might be messy and long so 🐻 with me a bit tysm for reading in advance 🪄 (tldr, question is at thhe second-to-last paragraph if you wanna skip the rant)
I thought about mbti typing big boy Eddie and I'm no expert or anything but mbti and enneagram have been my fixation for a while now (send helps need to to stop ahh) soooafter reading most of your posts here about him, let me try to type him actually 👀
First things first, let clear the obvious thing out of the way:
You said his biggest fear is y/n abandoning him and/or rejecting him, that's a clear cut case of an enneagram 6, they have a bit of an anxious undertone (even when healthy) when it comes to relationships, they always try to seek reassurance from the other person, might interpret personal space from their loved one as rejection (especially if they're unhealthy)... So yeah, also I remember you saying he is expressive (atleast with y/n) he is also very flirtatious with them and is open to having fun, being an outdoors kinda guy etc (correct me if Im wrong) , so I assume he have a wing 7 in enneagram, 7s are your typical fun-loving adventure-seeking airheads (I love them btw) they hate/fear being controlled and want freedom in their lives to do their thing, him having a wing 7 instead of being a pure 7 means (according to my limited knowledge) means he tends to seek fun sometimes when comfortable relaxed and hates being controlled by others but not as much as primary enneagram 7s, (again feel free to correct me ppl who know more about enneagram)
anyways, his instinct is definitely, 100% an sx maybe he is an sx/sp, sx stands for instinctual sexual (not necessarily sexual tho, I mean, I think I stopped making sense jow lmao) sexual in the instinctual thing in enneagram means he is more interested in forming deep, meaningful and personal bonds than shallow ones that may not last, sx is all about intensity, chemistry passion, etc etc. The sp means self preserving which means he is more into comfort, survival, practical needs, creating a stable life etc etc.
So when it comes to his full enneagram it's 6w7 sx/sp
He is an introvert and a bit of a dork so he might not be an so (social instinct, warm with people, comfy with interaction with strangers, confident with himself around social situations etc)
Tbh Its interesting that you did the test as him, it's gives more data because you know how'd he think as the author and tbh I find a strong case for an infj more after researching but isfj seems plausible too.
When it comes to determining the mbti. The important thing is **why** is he doing whats he's doing, and you as the author can determine the mbti depending on the way you think your character thinks like:
my strongest indication is him believing in the "string" thing you mentioned, my second biggest indication is that (from what I understood) he builds his life around his loved one, he wants a future with them after all (Ni in an infj) does he think in patterns and underlying tones? Does he create an elaborate future in his head and becomes attached to that future? Does he rationalize his yandere behavior as "it's for the best" and "I know what's best for you"?
Strongest indication would be him preserving memories with y/n always, like drinking from a cup they drank from after them because it's their precious touch that makes this special (lmao that's what I can come up with? 😭) if he remembers every interaction with his loved one, if he is someone who is fixated on memories, routines and shared experiences more than thinking about a detailed vivid future then that's isfj more than infj. When it comes to his obsession, does he think "I've invested so much time, energy and emotions into you y/n so you owe me your love"? If so then that's an isfj, they tend to get mad (unhealthy isfjs) when their level of commitment isn't being appreciated, reciprocated enough or not recognized.
But tbh, due to him being a yandere he ofc would be thinking alot about his y/n, and an isfj is more likely to be obsessed due to familiarity which may take more than the few interactions that happened in the game before Eddie became obsessed enough to wife us, as opposed to an infj who might become obsessed due to an obsecure idea he holds and suddenly, in a matter of days, y/n becomes his destiny.
Both infj and isfj can be emotionally soft and expressive especially with their loved ones, they're capable of vulnerability and can match an enneagram of 6w7 sx/sp, though I'd assume an isfj 6w7 is more common than an infj 6w7. Idk for sure tho.
I guess the difference would be before he met and fell in live with y/n, how would he go about in his normal life? Does he think about the future more(infj) or does he live in the moment and has a routine(isfj)? Does he see patterns and clues and reads undertones more (infj) or does he remember past conversations and small physical details and is focused on the real world more than his inner thoughts(isfj)? When it's comes to problem solving, Would he be focused on finding the root of a problem by thinking, trying to analyze the situation and find patterns (infj)? Is he focused on practicality to solve a problem, like what can be done *now* to improve a situation (isfj)?
Again sorry for the rant, I had to rewrite this several times, and thank you again for reading this (or for skipping it I won't blame u) have a lovely [whatevertimeitsis]... me loves Eddie ❤️ me loves author too 😔🤍 I'll be replayimg the game soon too, I hope I wasn't an annoyance to you with this long ahh article lmao byebye
wowww thank u anony this was such a fun read! thank u so much for taking the time to write all of this and go into so much detail. i don't know anything about this stuff really, so it was super interesting to get a chance to hear this from someone more knowledgeable. yeah, it sounds like from what u wrote he's more like an infj- he definitely is someone who gets in his own head a lot and kinda builds an imagined future with y/n, focusses on the "ideas" and plans ahead a lot when he can, so that makes sense. he definitely copes and rationalises his unhealthy behaviours as being "necessary for the sake of true love". enneagram 6 seems to make a lot of sense, he's definitely a very anxious attachment person and super clingy but also likes to do fun things and has a rebellious side/ dislikes feeling bossed around.
thank you again for your thoughtful analysis, i really appreciate it and i really really enjoyed reading this!<3❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
