ESTP 8w7 Characters

Quaritch is not content to direct troops from behind enemy lines; he wants to get out there and physically have something to do with his enemies, including jumping into a robot and almost killing Neytiri in hand to hand combat. He continues to fight Jake even after his helmet is busted and he knows he’s running out of oxygen. In the second film, he eagerly insists upon becoming a Na’vi in all the usual ways, by “living, eating, and sleeping” the way they do. He captures his own flying beast (choosing to subdue it instead of tranq it) and becomes a dangerous man in the air and the sea. Qurtitch employs physical threats against his enemies and burns down villages, decimates trees, etc, finally winding up in close, violent combat with Jake after kidnapping his children and threatening never to back down. He has a serious lack of attachment to other people … or so we think. Quaritch at first uses his Fe only to intimidate, persuade, or mess with people’s heads; he knows if he terrorizes the villages enough, they will turn on Jake; he also knows the whales are sacred, and if they kill one and leave it out for Jake to find, he will come and attack them. But as the story unfolds, we also see him start to emotionally attach to his son (whatever he may say to the alternative) and want to spare his life. Quaritch has a singular goal in mind when he sets out, but isn’t a man who thinks in the long term; he just wants to leave his mark and subdue anyone who stands against him.

Enneagram: 8w7

Quaritch is a tough-talking, no-nonsense bad-ass in both movies, who expects his orders to be obeyed without question and who sees no problem with employing “force” to make people give in to his demands. In the first film, he uses brute force to run the Na’vi off their land by destroying their holy tree; in the second, he terrorizes the ocean tribes in search of Sully to “even the score.” He has a marine creature gunned down to show them what his weapons will do and then threatens to kill them all unless they turn over Jake and his family. Villain 8s let nothing stand in their way between themselves and their goal and see leverage as a weapon to utilize against their enemies. And even though he claims his desire to pay back Jake isn’t personal, it is. He denies that vulnerable side of himself, just as he denies it to Neytiri’s face when she threatens to cut his son’s throat and he at first shrugs and says, “Go ahead, he means nothing to me.” But he does, and it wounds Quaritch when his son refuses to go with him at the end of the film. He also proves himself, and won’t let Jake do anything that he cannot do himself, including taming one of the mountain flying creatures in the same way Jake did, by diving off a cliff with it (only he punches it a few times first).
