I've read a biography on her and I'd say ESFJ. She comes across as a Feeling type.

Silver screen actresses like this are made up people. Even when not acting in movies, they were forced to act in the manner that their contracted studio magnates dictated.

It seems that there's a consensus on ExxJ. Hum, actually ESTJ was my first guess but she was a 4w3 and I have a sort of inhibition at typing 4s as SJ while I probably should'nt. ESTJ would rather be the best possibility.

The decision to live that kind of life and to sign up that kind of contract is always a good indicator in typing people.

She seems more introverted than extraverted to me... but that might be caution due to her public prominence rather than an actual preference... She seems more T than F though. maybe Xx Ti Fe Xx or Xx Te Fi Xx. Not really sure about Ti-Fe interaction as compared to Te-Fi interaction. S/N doesn't seem very clear...

I get neither how she is an SJ nor how she is a 4, much less 4 and ESTJ at the same time.

She was a control freak and the passsion of envy is obvious.

There we can agree.

isn't that more of a 3 thing? at least in the way Vivien displayed it. her envious nature seemed more "other people have that, I'm going to get it!" as opposed to the "everyone has it better than me, my life's unfair" mindset that would be more 4-ish. she seems far too action/success oriented to be a 4

No, the passion of Envy is the passion of the enneatype 4, directly related to a feeling that "everyone is better than me". If you had really studied the Enneagram, you would know that.

4, like 6, is a bipolar type. There's phobic 6 and counterphobic 6, and also a strog part of them who navigates between the two. 4 is also bipolar, there's depressives 4 who withdrawn from rhe world submit to their pain, shame and feeeling of low value, and counter depressive who fight that depression by a constant hyperactivity, there's also a strong part of them who navigate between the two. Vivien leigh was mainly a counterdepressive 4.
