Georgie Cooper MBTI & Enneagram | Young Sheldon

ESTP 7w8 Characters

Georgie is a stereotypical ESTP character in that he lives only for the moment, he focuses mostly on what the world can give him and how he can take advantage of it, and he’s fairly unemotionally engaged and detached, while being tactless (as the comic relief). For example, he could care less about Sheldon’s many abstract concepts or interests; Georgie just wants to play video games, look at pictures of hot girls, and sneak a beer when his father isn’t looking. His lifelong ambitions involve being a bachelor and having no responsibilities. When his father has a heart attack and winds up in the hospital, he steals his grandma’s keys and drives her car to see the “old man” (almost crashing it a few times in the process). He will rationally point out solutions to problems, but has no real interest in doing anything with them (he admits he’s an idiot, but says he has no interest in not being one). In later seasons, we find out how good Georgie is at working in an auto body shop, where the owner says he has a natural knack for figuring out how to fix cars and find leaks in tires. When his father doesn’t want him to work there on football practice days, Georgie reasons that he doesn’t need to sit on the bench when he could be earning money by working in the shop. Often, he will ask members of his family tactless questions that offends his feeler parents, but that his thinker siblings and grandma take in stride. Georgie assumes he can skate by and get out of most things by being ‘charming and likable,’ and telling people what they want to hear (low Fe), but has no long-term ambitions and no interest in anything that isn’t tangible or interesting.

Enneagram: 7w8

In contrast to his brother, Georgie has very little interest in academia or in doing anything other than having a good time; as he points out to his father, he has no intentions of settling down or of ever getting married, because that would take him off the “chick market.” He has mostly plans that involve getting drunk, having lots of women around, and playing the field, while avoiding any kind of personal responsibility, commitments, or obligations. Georgie rolls his eyes at Sheldon being fearful of a little girl who is a bully and offers to ‘take care of it,’ because in his mind, his brother is too much of a wimp to do it himself, but also makes various remarks to infer that he could care less what happens to Sheldon. He is tactless and rarely offended by anything.
