Jack MBTI & Enneagram | Jack the Giant Slayer

ESFP 7w6 Characters

Jack is a highly opportunistic and fast-thinking young man, who can immediately turn situations around using something in his environment as an asset—such as grabbing a vine in the middle of a free-fall as the beanstalk goes crashing down to earth, and managing to land himself and Isabelle safely in a haystack in the process. He improvises a lot in giant land, managing to kill a giant single-handed by stabbing him in the back with a hanging knife, and freeing Isabelle from her prison. He also notices a beehive and stuffs it into the helmet of one of the giants, leading him to fall to his death, so they can escape down the beanstalk once again. When he’s about to get eaten by a giant, Jack throws his last bean down its throat, causing it to die as the beanstalk sprouts inside its stomach. Jack is forced to do things out of necessity, such as sell off the family horse he cares about, but feels bad about it and tells the horse why he has to do it. His love for Isabelle happens quite quickly, but he’s rather quiet about it. Though he doesn’t even know her, he stands up for her and gets punched in the face in the process by some thugs who are harassing him; it just struck him as wrong not to intervene when he saw something happening he did not like. His lower Te is good at planning and execution on his whims, on having good reasons for what he does and says, and in getting things done, but he shows very little intuition other than in his naïve hope that when he takes the beans to the monastery, they will pay him the promised amount the monk suggested.

Enneagram: 7w6

Jack is a generally optimistic, cheerful, and good-hearted bloke, who neglects his horse and cart to watch a theater performance, and then who amiably believes a monk who tells him the beans in that tiny purse are worth ten times more than his horse. When his uncle calls him an idiot for bringing them home, Jack tells him he intends to take them to the abbey and hopefully they will get paid, showing his general sense of optimism about his future prospects, even though they look bleak at the moment. He is quick thinking and funny, always assuming things will turn out fine and in his favor (when he is almost stabbed in the head upon crash-landing, he just is happy it didn’t happen). His 6 wing has a cautious streak, and on occasion he becomes suspicious of others and disinclined to trust them, but usually can be persuaded out of it.
