Klaus Mikaelson from the Originals Personality Type:
Myers Briggs: ENTJ
Te: Klaus is efficient and practical, and becomes aggravated when others do not live up to his standards of efficiency. Klaus is also very goal oriented. He does not remain inactive for long and is always trying to find a means to get whatever it is he wants. He will often act on his own instead of following his siblings’ plan because he believes his way is more efficient. Like in season one when he saves Marcel instead of following the original plan he and Rebekah concocted to save Elijah.
Ni: Klaus is adept at strategy, as Rebekah puts it “there is none more diabolical.” Klaus always develops a plan before acting. He rarely goes into battle without a strategy. He is also very intuitive about people and knows how to manipulate their emotions. He uses his insights about people to his advantage and hardly misses much.
Se: Klaus is very strong and a great fighter due to being the only Original Hybrid. Klaus generally prefers to plan ahead, but can still be very impulsive should the situation demand it. He is great at reading a situation and responding accordingly.
Fi: Klaus cares about very few people, specifically his family. He does not trust others easily and lets few people into his heart. He struggles to connect with people other than his loved ones, who he would do anything for. Klaus is not very ethical, and it takes having a child to finally make him a better person. He does care about the werewolves because he is one of them and feels a connection to them, and is repulsed when he comes across the vampire purists.
Enneagram: 8w7
Klaus believes that the only way to protect his family is to acquire power. He spends the entirety of the Originals vanquishing enemies that could be potential threats to his family. He establishes power in New Orleans because he believes it will protect his daughter from those who would harm her. He can be aggressive and controlling, but the best in him is brought out by Hope, who helps him move to 2. When stressed, he becomes paranoid and secretive at 5. He can also be hedonistic and thrill seeking, as he bores easily.
Temperament: Choleric Sanguine
Klaus is a task oriented, driven individual who is very focused on getting things done. He believes he must be in charge because he believes is the only one who can get things done effectively. He also has a need to be social and can be quite charming, and sometimes very impulsive.
Erik/ the Phantom of the Opera personality type: INTJ 4w5
Myers Briggs: INTJ
Ni: Erik is excellent at predicting future outcomes. He always knows what people are going to do next and is a meticulous strategist and planner. His primary focus is making his personal artistic vision come to fruition, which is having his opera performed with Christine as the prima donna. He is intuitive about what people are thinking and what their motivations are.
Te: Erik is efficient and practical. He becomes frustrated when he believes other people aren’t doing their jobs adequately and manipulates everyone at the opera house in order to accomplish his goals. He can be ruthless when it comes to accomplishing his goals and will even harm others to make his point, like with Joseph Buquet.
Fi: Erik doesn’t have many people he cares about; he really only cares for Christine. Erik’s Fi is immature and so he is prone to outbursts of emotion. He does not regulate his emotions very well due to having been rejected by society his entire life.
Se: Erik is agile and skilled in combat. He is a skilled swordsman and holds his own against Raoul. He can sometimes be impulsive, but usually his actions serve to help him achieve some sort of goal.
Enneagram: 4w5
Erik is emotional and intense. He expresses himself through his art and his artistic vision is based on himself instead of what he thinks will please others. He is authentic and individualistic, and moves to 2 in times of stress. When he fails to win Christine’s love he kidnaps her and tries to manipulate her into choosing him over Raoul. Erik is also very knowledgeble and uses his various skills to protect himself from the outside world.
Instinctual variant: sx/so
Erik’s primary concern is that he wants to be loved and in a relationship, and becomes obsessed with Christine for this reason. He uses his music to express his sexuality and desire for intimacy that he has never been able to experience due to his appearance. Erik wants to be accepted by society, but has never felt acceptance due to his appearance. He wishes for people to show him kindness and when he is finally shown kindness by Christine, he finally demonstrates an ability to show compassion.
Temperament: Melancholic Choleric
Erik is an analytical thinker and a deeply emotional person. He wants things done right in the opera house and becomes annoyed when he believes people to be incompetent. He is also efficient and can be bossy and demanding of the managers in the opera house. He is very particular about how he wants things done and becomes frustrated when people do not listen to him. He can be blunt with people when he feels they are not doing things correctly.
