ENFP 6w7 Characters

Barry is highly creative, intuitive, and playful, always cracking jokes about everything and acting like the comic relief. He takes the time, when saving a girl from being hit by a truck, to playfully rearrange things so when real time resumes, it will turn out the way he wants. He is also of two minds when it comes to deciding whether to awaken Superman or not; he goes along with it, but second-guesses and questions it at the last second (maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all?). He tries to talk himself out of everything, with varying degrees of success. Barry pretty much relies on his speed most of the time to do anything, but can also be a little oblivious to his environment – when they all meet in one place, drawn by the Bat Signal (which he finds awesome), the rest of them melt away into the darkness without him, leaving him to awkwardly say goodbye to Gordon and depart. He immediately leaps at the chance to be in the League, out of excitement of the heroes it will introduce him to (Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Batman… how insane is this?!). In The Flash, we see that Barry is actually very extroverted. He is constantly chattering at everyone and everything, is impulsive, somewhat hedonistic, and risk-taking, leaping into action before he fully understands his powers, going back in time as soon as he figures out what he can do to save his mom, and then trying to put things right in a world without any super-powered people in it. His alternate self is constantly busy doing things and doesn’t stop to think about any of them, before he gets involved, eventually (spoiler) morphing into a destroyer of entire worlds in his desire to stop Zod from killing Cara. Barry’s father is worried about his son, since he is spending so much of his time mulling over how his father has gone to jail for something he didn’t do, rather than living his life. He puts all of his time and effort into trying to figure out how to save his dad, and neglects his own career in the process. He winds up in low-paying odd jobs as a result. Barry is quite independent from the rest of the League, in that he has strong feelings of right and wrong, but doesn’t bother to enforce them on anyone else. He is willing to give Superman another chance, even though he decimated half of Metropolis in a previous fight. Older Barry is a lot more settled down, rational, and cautious, eventually realizing that they are at a point in time that cannot be changed no matter what they do; that certain people have to die to stabilize the universe. He recognizes that his mom is one of those people and he goes back to correct it, but also changes events so that his father can be set free at a later date (by moving the tomato cans onto the top shelf). This shows that Barry is rational enough to make personal sacrifices for the greater good, even if he suffers a loss because of it, and shows his Te development over time. Barry is sentimental about his past, and keeps trying to fix things in it, in the hope that it will change for the better and give him a positive future with his family (low Si).

Enneagram: 6w7

Barry is so loyal to his father, instead of going out and living the life he could be living, he devotes his time to figuring out how to help him. He has a playful candor about him, but also feels more self-assured when in a group, goes easily along with their plans, and makes light of everything while trying to do what’s best for them and the planet by extension. He wins them over by being funny and cute, by having a sense of humor even when things look grim, and feeling confident that it will all somehow work out in the end (and if it doesn’t… something good will come along). He finds it hard to settle in any kind of job or profession for very long, but also doesn’t mind bending the rules a little to get ahead (he saves a girl, flips the truck, grabs some meat floating around, and then uses that to impress the dog walking place, by insisting that all dogs just LOVE him, by sneaking them treats).
