ESTP 3w2 Characters

Branch is a good deputy because he reacts quickly and gets things done. He takes the initiative on investigation, gets involved in high speed chases, tackles suspects, and sometimes winds up in bar brawls. He starts an affair with Cady even though he works for her father, and it would upset Walt and cause tension at the office if he found out about it. When he eventually loses the sheriff race and decides not to be in law enforcement anymore, he throws himself into his father’s business wholeheartedly and tries to learn all the ins and outs so he can do a good job. Branch is logical and detached, often making decisions and calls based on what would resolve the issue rather than taking his feelings into account. He is objective, able to see where certain decisions would be stupid, but also has a general desire to do what is best for everyone in his life. His father’s lax morals shock and horrify him, because he sees that as a breach of personal integrity, to say one thing and do another behind-the-scenes. It is, unfortunately, what leads to his death, because Branch feels like he has to expose his father, regardless of the damage it will do, out of the greater good. He does not realize what is going on until he really digs into his father’s life, and then starts to question his finances compared to what he knows about various front dummy corporations; so never guessed his father was into criminal activities until it was too late.

Enneagram: 3w2

Branch is highly ambitious and motivated, but also heavily influenced by his father’s expectations for his life; he doesn’t just run for sheriff because he wants it, but because his father pushes him into it, and even then, he doesn’t want to make an enemy of Walt. But he does confront him and challenge him at times, because he thinks Walt could be doing better. He feels the pressure of living up to his father’s expectations, and tries hard to excel at whatever he does, by being flexible but firm. He also makes room to try and help people, do right by them, feel responsible for them and their feelings, and gets upset when others do not appreciate him or understand what he is doing. But he is also able to cut people off and reject them, when they don’t like what he is doing, or to move past his losses easily in pursuit of new goals.
