ENTJ 1w2 Characters

Higgins is a driven linguist with a long-term career and has become known as an expert in his field, but he has no social skills. His focusing on the facts is often insulting to those around him—where to him, he’s just speaking common sense or laying out the situation as it exists. He means no harm by it, but has no real connection to anyone else’s feelings or his own, which means that when Eliza leaves him, Higgins has an emotional overreaction, and then says, “Damn it, I’ve grown accustomed to her face!” He can’t even recognize that he has fallen in love with her or admit it to himself, but he becomes petulant all the same. He sees the potential in her immediately, how he could turn her into a shop girl or a socialite, and keeps that in his mind throughout, a singular goal he drives her toward unrelentingly—but he admits that he hasn’t given much thought about what’s to happen once she passes his test and performs well at the ball. He doesn’t know what’s to become of her, and hadn’t considered where she might go. He’s also oblivious to social implications and standards of behavior, finding it ridiculous that her father thinks he’s taken Eliza in for nefarious purposes. He also takes rather enormous risks in how he thrusts Eliza into society, and introduces her to people who could blow her cover and humiliate them, because he often makes decisions on the spur of the moment. Higgins likes to go at life in a bold manner that suits lower Se, even if he has no real interest in marriage or anything permanent in a traditional sense.

Enneagram: 1w2

Higgins starts off with Eliza on the wrong foot, because he is correcting her grammar, speech, and everything else about her. He takes her on as a “project” because he can instantly see how she can be “improved.” And he is so critical, mercilessly insistent upon getting it right, and disinterested in dealing with her tantrums, that Eliza can’t decide if she’s in love with him or hates his guts. He gets into arguments about topics of interest, but also is incredibly arrogant and vain about his own accomplishments; he sees himself as helping Eliza and when she “throws his gift in his face” with ingratitude, he is extremely offended and says if the jewels weren’t hired, he’d stuff them down her ungrateful throat. He is proud of his accomplishments and his creation, but inclined to reject her when she doesn’t appreciate his “help.” 2s as rejection types can abruptly cut people off, especially when they are not appreciated as much as they feel they are owed. He plays this out in fantasizing about how she’ll be a poor wife with a fat husband at home one day, and then he won’t lift a finger to help her.
