Which Elizabeth Olsen Character Are You, According To Your MBTI®

When Martha Marcy May Marlene hit theaters in 2011, movie fans realized that Elizabeth Olsen, the third Olsen sister, was a hugely talented actress. She has since appeared in many films big and small, from action to horror to comedy. Her presence in a movie is always interesting and thoughtful.

With so many different roles on her resume, Elizabeth Olsen is perfect for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®. Read on to find out which Elizabeth Olsen character you are, according to your MBTI®.

10 ENFP: Zoe In Peace, Love & Misunderstanding

The 2011 film Peace, Love & Misunderstanding stars Catherine Keener as Diane, who doesn’t have the best relationship with her mom, Grace played by Jane Fonda. Diane brings her two kids to Woodstock, where Grace lives a bohemian lifestyle that is very different from what they know. Critics didn’t love this movie.

Elizabeth Olsen plays Zoe, a pretentious college kid who makes a lot of feminist statements throughout the film. In one scene, she says, “Where does the perpetuation of fragmentation lead us? You know, it seems like we should be finding a way back into harmony with one another rather than representing, and therefore replicating our division.” Zoe sounds like an ENFP or “the imaginative motivator.” ENFPs “value depth and authenticity” and are “lively but restless” so if you’re an ENFP, this is the perfect Elizabeth Olsen movie for you.

9 INFP: Martha In Martha Marcy May Marlene

The film Martha Marcy May Marlene is both well-crafted and incredibly heartbreaking. Olsen plays a girl named Martha who got involved with a cult, and while she’s now living with her sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson), the film has many disturbing scenes of just how bad life in that cult was.

Martha sounds like an INFP or “the thoughtful idealist.” Many people will join a cult because they want something to hold onto, and that’s exactly what this character does. INFPs are known for “committing to what they believe in” and they’re also “devoted.” Like everyone who gets involved with this type of group, she thinks that this is what she has to do, although of course, it all goes horribly wrong.

8 ISFJ: Elle In Godzilla

Elizabeth Olsen played mother and wife Ella in the 2014 film Godzilla. She’s also a nurse, which makes her MBTI an ISFJ or “the practical helper.”

ISFJs are “patient” and “caretakers” so it makes sense that Elle work at a hospital. Anyone who has this MBTI will relate to this character as they will understand that Elle brings a human element to this action film by caring so much about the people in her life.

7 INTJ: Taylor In Ingrid Goes West

In the intelligent and entertaining 2017 movie Ingrid Goes West, Olsen plays Taylor Sloane, an Instagram influencer who Aubrey Plaza’s character Ingrid Thorburn becomes completely enamored with.

Taylor is definitely not as perfect as her Instagram suggests, and her role is a clever take on the way that some people present themselves online. If someone’s MBTI is an INTJ or “the conceptual planner,” this is the movie for them. INTJs have “compelling long-range visions” and are perfectionists who plan for the future.

6 ENTJ: Zibby In Liberal Arts

Written and directed by How I Met Your Mother‘s Josh Randor, the 2012 movie Liberal Arts is about aging, bad timing, and college life. Radnor plays Jesse, who meets Elizabeth Olsen’s character Zibby (short for Elizabeth). Zibby totally falls for him, but he won’t go there because he knows that there’s too big of an age gap between them as he’s 35 and she’s 19.

Zibby is practical and smart. In the end, she’s grateful to Jesse and realizes that he made the correct choice. Zibby would be an ENTJ or “the decisive strategist.” She’s got her eyes on the future and she’s “energetic” and wants to be in charge. Like other ENTJs, she feels overwhelmed if she’s not on the path that she wants to be on.

5 INFJ: Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch In Marvel Movies

Elizabeth Olsen played Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in several Marvel movies: 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, 2017’s Avengers: Infinity War, and 2018’s Avengers: Endgame. She’s currently reprising her role in the 2020 TV show WandaVision.

Thanks to her powerful psychic abilities, Scarlet Witch has some qualities that an INFJ or “the insightful visionary” would have. The official description says that these types “see the meaning and connections between ideas, relationships, and interactions” which sounds just like Scarlet Witch.

4 ISTJ: Jane In Wind River

Elizabeth Olsen definitely played many different roles, including Jane Banner in the 2017 film Wind River. As an FBI agent, her MBTI would be ISTJ or “the responsible realist.”

This movie is perfect for anyone who has this personality type. FBI agents are definitely “task-oriented” and “decisive” along with being “analytical” which are the traits that ISTJs have.

3 ENFJ: Edie In Kill Your Darlings

Olsen played Edie Parker in the 2013 movie Kill Your Darlings which was inspired by the writers and thinkers of the Beat Generation. She was married to Jack Kerouac and she was also a writer who studied art at Columbia.

This is a great movie for anyone who is an ENFJ or “the compassionate facilitator.” These personality types are all about “harmony” and “self-expression” which sounds like a beatnik.

2 ISFP: Zooey In Kodachrome

Elizabeth Olsen’s Kodachrome character is Zooey, a nurse who works for Ben (Ed Harris), the father of Matt (Jason Sudeikis). She becomes involved in the family’s tragedy when Ben is dying and they all take a road trip.

If you’re an ISFP or “the versatile supporter,” then you’ll enjoy this Netflix movie. ISFPs are said to make sure that coworkers or friends get along with each other, and they’re sympathetic toward whatever situation someone is going through. Zooey could deliver the bad news and not get involved, but she goes on the road trip because she cares.

1 ENTP: Sarah In Silent House

The 2012 horror movie Silent House is pretty interesting as it’s got a massive twist at the end that makes you question everything that you saw. Not every review of the film was positive, though, so whether you think the twist was brilliant or lame is subjective. At the very least, the movie is filmed in one take, so that’s cool.

This is the movie to watch for someone who is an ENTP or “the enterprising explorer.” These people are all about “developing strategies” and they’re “clever and resourceful.” Love or hate this movie, that’s exactly what Sarah is like.
