Hello everyone! One of my girl obsessions at the moment is actress Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen in "Game of Thrones" and is now playing Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on Broadway. I was wondering if any of you could help me type her, please?





Thanks so much in advance! xx

I think I'd definitely second that, this quote 'I long for the countryside. That's where I get my calm and tranquillity - from being able to come and find a spot of green. ' seems to allude both to her being extremely influenced by her outer surroundings in terms of emotions, which suggests Fe. Also it alludes to Ti and Ni by suggesting that she has to be alone in order to collect her thoughts.

I got a sense of her being Se more than Si because she talked about how important physically engaging with a scene is when she's acting.

I decided on ENFJ also in part because I see the NF idealism shine in her when she plays Dany, also an NF character - she plays it too well to be another type. I think it's a case of an actor really connecting with elements of a character, bringing something in themselves out in their performance.

You can also see the NF idealism shine out of her when she talks about Breakfast at Tiffany's! And her expressions at about 2:38 just seem rather ENFJ to me.

'It’s bizarre, and it’s going to sound really corny, but it’s the God’s honest truth: For some reason, I just felt so connected to Dany I kind of just knew what I needed to do.' Suggests the ENFJ, camoflauge and also her connecting to the character as an NF.

“She’s the kind of person who lights up rooms,” Weiss says of Clarke. “A lot of people about whom you’d say that also have a flighty, manic, pixie quality, maybe a fluffiness, to them. She doesn’t have that. She’s extremely serious about what she does.” Which sort of leads me to Ti and Ni on her long term goals.

I didn't know who she was before, but based on her interviews, she seems to be Fe dominant--as @soya says, lots of expressiveness in her face when she talks.

Breakfast at Tiffany's has a Broadway production? Very cool. That's one of my favorite movies...

Oh, what do you think from her other functions?

You are too kind @BlueSeven :)

Thanks for posting the interview. I have to say, the wig is very convincing... I totally thought she dyed her hair for the role!

Emilia is such a bubbly person, it's a departure from the sort of serious conviction that Dany has in the series...I guess that's a testament to her commitment to the character.

She's also lovely. Not everyone can pull off suicide blonde and chocolate tresses equally well.

Most actors and actresses tend to get typed as Fe-dom because of this, but don't forget that it's their job to be expressive :)

I agree with the ENFJ typing though, based on these interviews you've posted! I do have a soft spot for ENFJs
