Here’s the Bridgerton Character You’d Be, Based On Your Myers-Briggs® Personality Type

I love a good romance, and the Bridgerton series is one that, although a guilty pleasure, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Upon watching the second season I decided it would be fun to attempt to type the characters in the show.

If you’re not familiar with Myers-Briggs® personality types, they are a way of classifying people into 16 different groups based on their preferences and tendencies. If you’re interested in finding out your type, you can take a quiz here.

Before you begin: The Myers-Briggs® Type Indicator is a thoroughly researched method for finding people’s personality preferences and understanding their decision making. As an MBTI® practitioner I don’t tell someone their personality type; I walk them through the process of understanding themselves until they come to understand and choose their best-fit type. I can’t conduct a type consultation with any of the characters in Bridgerton, and some characters are only shown for brief periods of time. Thus these typings are meant to be taken with a large grain of salt. These are estimations but they are fictional characters that we’re only seeing a glimpse of in a fictional setting. If you have alternate perspectives on their types be sure to let me know!

The ENFP – Colin Bridgerton

ENFP Colin Bridgerton

Colin Bridgerton is the epitome of the charming ENFP personality type. He’s always quick with a witty comment and he has a talent for making people laugh. Yet he’s more serious than the typical fictional ENFP, wanting desperately to find his purpose and individual sense of meaning. He’s even willing to travel across the globe to try new things, see new places, and find himself. Colin is sensitive and caring, but sometimes out of touch with reality and more in touch with the potential he hopes for.

The INFP – Penelope Featherington

INFP Penelope Featherington

Creative and sensitive, Penelope longs to give her imagination a means to take flight. Although she doesn’t always make the best decisions, she tries to live according to an inner sense of what she believes is right and wrong (even when this flies in the face of the values her mother is trying to teach her). Finding an outlet for her creativity is essential to her, but she also idealistically longs for someone who she fears may not love her back. While she is often underestimated, she works behind the scenes to bring her creativity, intuition, and imagination to life.

The ENFJ – Violet Bridgerton

ENFJ Violet Bridgerton

Wise and perceptive, Violet Bridgerton seems to know what’s bothering her children even when they aren’t explicitly verbalizing their struggles. She naturally serves as her children’s advisor, even when they don’t listen to her wise words. With just a knowing glance, we (the audience) can sense that she’s picked up on something we also know from behind-the-scenes. She wants to guide her children towards being the best they can be and marrying for love rather than status or money. Naturally she can sense the chemistry between people and can sense dynamics that others are trying to hide.

The ENTJ – Lady Danbury

ENTJ Lady Danbury

Lady Danbury is Simon’s mentor and one of the major influencers of her time. She is decisive, efficient, and ambitious, with a sharp mind and a quick tongue. She knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to go after it. She can easily see what’s going on beneath the surface for people, and she’s not afraid to speak blunt truths – even if they’re not popular.

The INFJ – Francesca Bridgerton

INFJ Francesca Bridgerton

Though not frequently explored in the Netflix series (yet), Francesca is one of the main characters in the books, particularly book 6 (“When He Was Wicked”). More reserved and mysterious than the other Bridgerton children, she is known for her analytical mind and perceptive nature. Like most INFJs, Francesca knows how to read people and can often sense things that others’ are refusing to outright verbalize. She is curious about people and why they do what they do, and she’s also driven by an inner sense of right and wrong. She often grapples with deciding between what she wants versus what she feels is ethically right according to the society she lives in.

INTJ Kate Sharma

Kate is strong, no-nonsense, and insightful. She prefers blunt truths to sugarcoated ones and is unafraid to speak up against perceived injustices or oppressive thinking. She aligns her life with taking care of her younger sister and preserving her family’s well-being. Like most INTJs, she has an independent streak and can sometimes venture outside of social expectations in an effort to compete. Even though she’s a woman, she doesn’t feel quite at home with the social standards and pressures placed on women during her time.

ESTP Jack Featherington

Playful and manipulative, Jack Featherington embodies many of the characteristics of the average to unhealthy ESTP. While he appears to be carefree and charming, he’s actually quite shrewd and calculating. He’ll do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if that means using others.

The ESTJ – Anthony Bridgerton

ESTJ Anthony Bridgerton

Serious and no-nonsense, Anthony believes he must sacrifice whatever he wants personally to uphold his responsibility as the oldest son in the Bridgerton household. Like many ESTJs, he struggles to be cognizant of others’ sensitivities, and he can come across as brusque and unfeeling, even when he cares very deeply. He’s a man of action, preferring to take direct and decisive steps rather than wasting time deliberating. ESTJs are often the backbone of society, and Anthony is no exception.

The ISFJ – Edwina Sharma

ISFJ Edwina Sharma

Courteous and kind, Edwina Sharma easily understands what’s expected of her and how to respond to people’s feelings. Like most ISFJs she is detail-oriented and thoughtful, taking care to notice and respond to the needs of those around her. She has a strong sense of tradition, valuing family highly.

The ISTJ – Philip Crane

ISTJ Philip Crane

Diligent and responsible, Philip Crane steps in to take care of Marina Thompson when it seems like no one else will. He displays the qualities of a typical ISTJ – practicality, reserve, and a steady sense of responsibility. If you’d like to find out more about Philip Crane, you should explore the 5th book in the Bridgerton series, To Sir Philip, With Love.

ENTJ – Queen Charlotte

Queen Charlotte I had originally typed as an ESTP, but that was prior to the Netflix series “Queen Charlotte” being released. After watching that I knew I had to get back on here and switch her to ENTJ. Charlotte showcases the decisiveness, leadership, and visionary determination that all ENTJs share. While ESTPs are pragmatic and can certainly be leaders, they have a more relaxed, charming demeanor. They like to have fun with life and to not be bound by any particular constraints. Charlotte, on the other hand, says exactly what she thinks and has no issue commanding, delegating, and organizing. Her first response to becoming queen is to figure out what duties and responsibilities she needs to organize, and when she can’t do that, she’s crestfallen. She is constantly scanning her environment, looking for productive things to do. She also cares little for society’s expectations of her and breaks the rules of social convention on several occasions; something types who have Introverted Feeling (TJs and FPs) are more likely to do than TPs or FJs. The “bossiness” that Charlotte demonstrates throughout the series is very typical of an ENTJ; they immediately know how to get what they want in the most efficient way, and will get others on board to attain it without hesitation.

  1. I’m so Kate with her sense of responsibility looking out for her family and not caring about society’s expectations about women. Her being was attractive to Anthony and I’m so in love with that.

  2. I find this series a little boring now.It is very slow. After the Duke, the rest are unnecessary….

  3. I loved your article Susan! As a huge Bridergton fan I binge watched the second season, which is the latest version we have in South Africa. I could so identify with your analysis of the characters. I am àcquainted with Myers-Briggs personality types, but not in any depth, also done the Enneagram, but again not in depth. Thank you again, Anne Bebington

    1. Respectfully disagree. ISFPs don’t rock the boat, they go with the flow as long as they can take a back seat and no one is getting hurt…

  4. I agree with you Pamela! Season 2 definitely had many more boring parts. And it’s almost a repeat of what happened in season 1 honestly! I feel like season 3 could be even worse 🙁
