ESFP 7w8 Characters

Wyatt tends to act before he thinks most of the time—he rushes confidently into situations convinced he can change them through the sheer force of his will. He is forever throwing himself into danger; he was a successful soldier, and is good at traveling through time because he can fit in anywhere, make people like him, and react quickly. Often it’s Wyatt who gets the team out of trouble, figures out what to do, or who chases off after a bad guy. He is also very physical—when he falls for Lucy, he does not want to waste time in showing her he loves her with sex. Wyatt is intensely emotional and makes many of his decisions from his feelings, including saving people who are supposed to die, because he feels bad for them. His entire reason for being involved in time travel is personal, to get back his wife—and then he gets absorbed into his own feeling when she returns and forgets to really think about his impact on Lucy. Later, he apologizes for this and admits how upset he is with himself for trusting the wrong person, for betraying Lucy, and for not being a better person, showing his tendency to self-blame when things go wrong (Fi). At times, Wyatt loops into tert-Te. He can be super blunt, even bluntly telling a younger version of himself that his baby doesn’t exist, it was all a lie to earn his trust, and then leaving himself to process that. He decides the only way to stop a serial killer is to prevent his parents from ever sleeping together, and alienates both of them in the process—including kidnapping one of them at gunpoint, busting into their hotel room, and eventually killing one (by accident). His blind spot is his Ni. As others point out, when he gets his wife back, he never suspects her true motivations or that she has ulterior reasons to want to be in his life. It catches him off guard to realize she is the enemy. It also frustrates him that he can’t change things, when that is his primary goal, and it’s hard to deviate from it or give what happened in the past a different interpretation.

Enneagram: 7w8

Lucy at one point calls Wyatt a “hot-head” because he rarely thinks before he acts; he sees bad things happening and rushes in to stop them, but also deals with a lot of frustration—with himself, with the world, with not being able to save his wife in his timeline, and with anger toward Flynn for being able to do what they’re not allowed to do (try to get his family back by destroying the people who caused their deaths). He is charming, cocky, and self-confident, but also has a bad personal history of fighting with his wife and self-destructive behavior (drinking, getting into trouble, being banned from his own prom, etc). His wife tells him that he wasn’t exactly the most responsible person on earth, that he rarely came home, and that he never consulted her about anything he intended to do. At times, Wyatt can lean heavily into 8 and think that the only way to make what he wants to happen unfold is to beat someone up or even put a bullet in them.
