What enneagram type is Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She was given as good example of Three in S.Maitri's book... but I saw her listed on all other places as Seven!!! First when I watched the movie I thought of her as Seven, when I read she is Three, it made sense and it was good example how 3 can look like 7. 3 plans and is enthusiastic about many things because it will make her look good, how she imagined the "successful" person is. Holly Golightly wanted money and social status, what's unclear did she wanted that so she can look good (3), or merely for enjoying all benefits that social status+money gives (7)?
was she running from pain (7) or was she running from herself (3)? Here I'd put on 3 because she said "she's not old Holly (or whatever her name was), she's not that girl" - which indicates she wanted to change her identity (3).
Other interesting thing in this movie to me is that her MBTI type isnt very obvious [she could be NFP but i think it wasnt clear]. It makes sense in movies where characters are not developed, but she has many characteristics enough to be "typical 3" or "typical 7". This kind of confirms theory about MBTI - Enneagram relation where Enneagram is defense system and in unhealthy people E-type characteristics are more aparent than MBTI, and more person healthy is she acts more like her MBTI type and E-type only "colours" her personality.
Of course this is just a movie so not perfect for analyisis.
