Anna Bates is NFP for sure, I agree with opinion she's an ENFP. They way she loves mr. Bates, the way she treats others, her friendship with Mary. She is optimistic, idealist, romantic, very nice. She seems to be more introverted because they portrayed Anna only between people in Downton Abbey and with Mr. Bates.

Sybil was ENFP in 1st season - like the episode when she came to the dinner in those unusual clothes - thats soooo ENFP thing. And the way she helped Gwen (or what was the name of the ginger servant???) was ENFP thing too. In 2nd season (nurse) and in her love issue with Tom she was definetely an INFP.

Mary is pure Fieldmarshal. ENTJ

First I hated Cora Crawley, now I absolutely adore her. She is nice, caring, loving and has strong value system. She is gorgeous. And :laughing: - the relationship between Violet and Isobel - so funny!

@Tellus & @angelcat, think you've gotten quite a few wrong. I'm also surprised how many Fi/Te users there are. Perhaps that's why I like the show so much!

Crawleys & Fam.


  • Violet Crawley: ESTJ
  • Robert Crawley: ESTJ, pretty obvious. Adamant in his ideals and imposes them upon others. Willing to change so long as he's convinced.
  • Cora Crawley: ESFJ, omg. So obvious. She didn't even catch on that the painter guy was into her for a WHILE.
  • Mrs Isobel Crawley: ENFP, she gets in everybody's business and throws in her two cents. Promotes individualism and personal growth pretty adamantly. Easily sees potential in others.
  • Matthew Crawley: INFP, makes some sense for him. Never was sure.
  • Lady Mary Crawley: ENTJ, clear Te dom. Pretty noticeable inferior Fi--she's has a HARD time finding where she stands.
  • Lady Edith Crawley: INFP
  • Lady Sybil Crawley: ISFP, this actually makes more sense to me for her. I don't quite see why people thought she was an ENFP. She has this very...floaty appearance. Then again she helped that one maid. Bah! I need to find more about her.
  • Tom Branson: Unsure, his type has never been that clear to me, to be frank. Maybe ISTJ?
  • Lady Rose MacClare: ESFP, too obvious!
  • Lady Rosamund Painswick: ENFJ, she prefers to be subtle and often finds herself momentarily appeasing others, whilst dominating and controlling. I can see why she finds her mom so annoying.

Servants Present Season 5

  • Mr Carson: ISTJ, duh.
  • Mrs Hughes: I want to say INFJ, as she's very perceptive and has that...very smooth aspect to her. She carries everyones secrets and does it without batting an eye. At the same time, it doesn't make as much sense.
  • Mrs Patmore: ESFP, too obvious!
  • John Bates: Unsure. Certain he's an introvert. I could see him as a beta, which leaves ISTP and INFJ. I'm more inclined to believe ISTP.
  • Thomas Barrow: Unsure, can see ISTP.
  • Anna Bates: ISFJ, she usually get's ENFP, but she's not. She's actually rather timid. Everyone likes her because she's consistently kind and gentle.
  • Daisy: Unsure, actually. This season has had me guessing. I'm starting to think immature ENFP.
  • Molesley: ISFJ, kind and gentle Molesley.

Servants Gone Season 5

  • Gwen: Unsure.
  • William Mason: Unsure.
  • Ethel: Unsure.
  • Jimmy: ESFP, perhaps?
  • Alfred: Unsure.
  • Sarah O'Brien: Unsure.

Townspeople

  • Sarah Bunting: ESFP, perhaps. I'm not quite sure with her. Strong Te and good Fi. Actually, ESFP seems right.
  • Dr. Clarkson: Unsure, could be an ISTJ.
  • Tim Drewe: ISTJ

Nobility Present Season 5

  • Lord Merton: Unsure, can see INFP
  • Atticus Aldridge: Unsure, can see ISFP.
  • Charles Blake: Unsure, can see INTJ.
  • Anthony Foyle, Lord Gillingham: Unsure, can see ISTJ.
  • Lady Mabel Lane-Fox: ESTJ, c'mon. She's much more extraverted and straightforward than Mary.
  • Prince Igor Kuragin: ISFP, actually makes sense for him. I can see it.

Nobility Gone Season 5

  • Sir Anthony Strallan: Unsure.
  • Michael Gregson: Unsure.

@Tellus & @angelcat, think you've gotten quite a few wrong. I'm also surprised how many Fi/Te users there are. Perhaps that's why I like the show so much!

Crawleys & Fam.


[*]Robert Crawley: ESTJ, pretty obvious. Adamant in his ideals and imposes them upon others. Willing to change so long as he's convinced.
Except he's generally incompetent as a businessman and makes emotional decisions about the estate. He nearly runs the estate into the ground because he has no business sense whatsoever and cannot make hard decisions -- yet, Mary can do it just fine. (SHE is the Te-dom... daddy is not.) Robert Crawley? Te-dom? Nooo. Not only does he lack strong Te, he lacks the open-minded high Ne that comes with ESXJ types.

[*]Mrs Isobel Crawley: ENFP, she gets in everybody's business and throws in her two cents. Promotes individualism and personal growth pretty adamantly. Easily sees potential in others.
Hmm. Interesting. But aren't Fe-doms the interfering / moralizing types? She judges things pretty damn hard, all the time. Not typical for Ne-overruling a judging function. (ENFPs are pretty much -- do what you want, aren't they? Her? Not so much. Here, turn your house into a hospital and leave it that way because you're selfish to want your own space.)

[*]Mrs Hughes: I want to say INFJ, as she's very perceptive and has that...very smooth aspect to her. She carries everyones secrets and does it without batting an eye. At the same time, it doesn't make as much sense.
The woman turned down a marriage proposal because it would mean changing her entire life / abandoning her routine / moving out of a business she has been in for 30 years. That, there, is Si-dom. Why change if it's fine? Her Fe makes her more approachable and better with people than Carson, but there's no inferior Se there.

[*]Mrs Patmore: ESFP, too obvious!
The cook ... the same personality as Rose? Say what? She's got lower Ne problems too. Doesn't like change. Has a bad reaction to it, in fact. XSTJ. Given her extreme bluntness -- probably a Te-dom.

[*]John Bates: Unsure. Certain he's an introvert. I could see him as a beta, which leaves ISTP and INFJ. I'm more inclined to believe ISTP.
.... that's interesting. Can't say I see it, but it's interesting. Seems like a Fi type...

Ergh. This feels very wrong on many levels. Care to explain the bolded? (basically all of them)

I'm especially interested in Mrs. Hughes as an ENFP. That's certainly an interesting consideration.
 
#124 ·
I've heard ISFP from most typing threads for Daisy, and yet here people want to say ESFJ, with a few Fi guesses. Which is it? Does she use Fi or Fe?

I'm on episode two and she's the only character I am truly interested in. Hopefully that changes, but until then...
 
#129 ·
I've heard a decent deal of typings for Mary. I'm sold on a particular typing for her, but if you have reasoning you would like to share for Lady Mary being ISTP I would love to hear it.

When I first looked at typings for Mary, I saw a few xNFJ suggestions... funny, I thought. She's one of the characters I like least in the series (which is saying something since Thomas is still on my good side and I don't have many strong negative feelings for any of the characters yet). Mary is certainly a strong female character, and somewhat relatable in her struggles, but her haughtiness just spoils her, in my opinion. (Not to stop anyone from relating to her, I welcome typings other than xNFJ because I don't think she's much like us at all.)
 
#131 · (Edited)
Watching the current season.

Anna... Fe-type; how did I miss that? It's all about how Bates feels, and how he's going to react, ALL THE TIME... SFJ?

Also, I am laughing SO HARD at Mrs. Patmore's attempts to discuss sex with Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Carson. This is... possibly... the most ridiculous thing ever.

Robert: ISFJ
Clara: ESFJ
Mary: ENTJ
Edith: SFP? Unsure.
Sybil: INFP
Mrs. Crawley: ENFJ
Bates: SFJ
Anna: ESFJ? I think so, seems Ne but Fe/Ne, no Ni instincts
Thomas: STP?
Mrs. Patmore: ESTJ
Daisy: ISTJ
Mrs. Hughes: ISFJ
Mr. Carson: ISTJ
 
#133 ·
Just rewatched Series 5 and the first episode of series 6. Generally agree with you--especially on Mary. She's the one who's always predicting--correctly--where problems are likely to occur. I just can't see anything but a strong Ni type for her.

Daisy is one of those I've struggled with for a long time, but when you suggested ISTJ on your blog, it was like, "yes, that's I'm seeing." I've been confident on Te-Fi for her, but her rant in the Series 6 premier was laden with Si--"this is the way things should be, have always been."

I've always typed Edith as a Ti user. She's quick at grasping what others mean when they talk about her. The way she does things in secret but does them nonetheless suggests Fe, maybe low level? I've actually wondered if INTP may be right for her. I know it's an odd idea, but I can see her as a more analytical/less idealistic version of Sybil.

Similarly, I've always typed Anna as an SJ over NP. I think ESFJ>ISFJ simply because I do think she's a dominant judger. She makes her opinions known and is willing to confront Thomas and others on them.

Thomas is INTJ. Not only because he's a long-term planner (volunteering for the army, the Baxter affair) but he constantly struggles between what he'd like to be and what he's allowed to be.

Rose is definitely an ESFP. And very missed because there aren't many ESPs on Downton.

Atticus is underdeveloped as a character. Other than "just different enough" for Rose but "just acceptable enough" for the Crawleys, I don't get much other than "nice Jewish guy."
 
#134 ·
Interesting idea about Edith. I'll have to think about that one for awhile.

Thomas... but Thomas has a really, really terrible time reading people / knowing what they're going on. What's her name, the maid from the first season, pulled the wool over his eyes constantly -- convincing him Jimmy was in love with him, getting him to set up Bates and then almost take the fall for it, etc. Doesn't that kind of rule out High Ni's tendency to read the truth of the situation? He falls for crap all the time, and gets fooled in his money schemes. I used to think INTJ, but I don't see the intuitive understanding in him anymore.
 
#135 ·
All I'm confident about is that Thomas is an Ni/Se user (in some order). Most likely Fi>Fe because of how private he is (for low Fe I'd expect more outbursts, but Thomas is so controlled). He has no expression on his face other than that smug sneer most of the time. That's not common for STP. Most ISTPs are calm when "in the zone" but lose it when stressed. He's not social enough for ESxP. ISFP may be a possibility, but I'm not sure of Fi-dominant. ENTJ really doesn't feel right--especially with Mary right there.

btw, loving the Shakespeare in Love avatar!
 
#137 ·
Thomas is my favorite character! <3

I think he's not easy to type Cuz he's in a loop or something like that.

Well, he's gay & open-minded, but he's living in a very conservative close-minded place called Downton Abbey!
He was pushed around & was treated in a bad way.
He always felt rejected & betrayed! He was different....& lonely!
While most of DA ppl were in good relationships & felt loved, he was left out, lonely & he was always rejected.

& in those days, being gay was against the law & had punishment. Plus, most ppl weren't really accepting & felt disgusted by these things.
So, he kind of had to/needed to be a private person & keep quite for his own safety!

He could end up losing his job & going to jail if he was more open about himself! He couldn't risk it! & he himself was ashamed of who he was!

& I think he was kinda depressed too!

Cuz as someone mentioned here, "he constantly struggles between what he'd like to be and what he's allowed to be!"

Probably, he could be happier if he lived in a more supportive place!

But he doesn't sound like an INTJ !
Others can betray him easily,
he still has emotion & cares about the fact that he's left out & no one likes him.
He has sensory hobbies like travelling to London.
& he's not really bad at sports




I think that he's some sort of ESFP/ISFP but in a loop/depression phase, so he looks like an INTJ !



Guys, plz help! What do you think is his type? Why?

Now that the series is over, I have a couple new thoughts.

Edith--ISFJ. I'm not unhappy about my prior suggestion in INTP, and I think the functions are there, but now I see that it's not dominant Ti, but tertiary. Her fears, her negativity--it's all inferior Ne, and her Fe is all over her presentation--look how much courage it takes her to build up to fire her editor and how important it is to her to ensure that her mother-in-law knows her secret.

Bertie--more than a touch of Fi--possibly ISFP?

Bertie's mother--Ni and Fi. INTJ is possible?

Henry--no Ne. xSTP is my guess, most likely ISTP. Tom's the idea man.

Andy--Fe, for sure. And probably Fe>Ti. ESFJ is my guess, like William.
 
#146 ·
Here's my two cents:

UPSTAIRS
Robert ESTJ
Cora ESFJ
Mary ENTJ
Edith ISFP
Branson INTP
Violet ESTJ
Isobel ENFJ
Rose ESFP

DOWNSTAIRS
Carson ISTJ
Hughes ISFJ... little iffy about this one. Seems to have a lot of T in her as well
Anna ISFJ
Bates ISTP
Thomas INTJ
Patmore ESTJ
Daisy ENFP... would have said introvert in earlier seasons but I think that was shyness
Molesly INFP

This is a great thread!
 
#147 ·
Ok, Now that the series is over, we know most things we should know about most of the characters.
What do you think about the characters' mbti?

Specially Thomas Barrow.
His suicide scene was so touching, but I wish they worked on it more. we just saw him unconscious in the bathtub! I wish they made it in a more touching & dramatic way.

Anyway, What do you think Thomas Barrow's MBTI is (now that DA is over)?
 
#148 ·
@itselly I think he's INTJ. Their biggest fear is basically having no control of their own future, and he was trapped in a corner, not being able to see a desirable way out of his situation. I think he started looping more and more, relying on his Fi when when he couldn't find a solution using Te. Fi tertiary defense includes defending his own self-worth despite the external circumstances and what other people say.

Suit Formal wear Tuxedo Font Outerwear


He also has some episodes of unhealthy inferior Se behaviour, jumping into situations recklessly without thinking it much through beforehand.
 
#149 ·
I always thought he's a ISxP type of guy who is sensual & loves to have fun but he can't cuz he's trapped in the wrong place & wrong time so he can't live like who he really is, so he's kinda depressed, left out and that makes him want to live like an INTJ!

But you also mentioned good points. Thanks alot!!! ☺
