Change that by one letter and everyone will agree with you.

E? ISFPs are the most E of the introverts and that might be why you get that impression but she strikes me as being less E than a true ESFP.

Or do you mean another letter?

To add on, I notice in her the (almost) typical ISFP trait of a bit of hesitation (every now and then) when speaking as she tries to find the best way of verbalising her thoughts.

I mean the Most Important Letter.

I don't think she's an ESFP. I'll have to do more research on her to get her type. I enjoy her movies though.

Anne Hathaway

She’s prone to being hard on herself, to holding herself to high standards, to fretting. “On the scale of someone who’s really laid-back about stuff and someone who worries a lot,” she notes, “I fall more towards the latter.”

God love the patient, wonderful Garry Marshall.” Marshall, who directed the original and the sequel, jovially says, “She was great in the first picture, when she didn’t know much of anything, but in the second picture, she was an expert. That often happens. She wanted to play something different by then; she didn’t want to keep the tiara on. I remember at a junket,” he adds, laughing, “she was talking Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, and Disney was getting nervous, and I said, ‘Annie, why don’t you talk about your hair a little; we’ll talk Nietzsche later.’ But that’s why I love Annie! When you look in her eyes, somebody’s always home, which is rare.”

And from there…sometimes when I would talk to adults, they would be taken aback by how forward I was. And I was very oblivious to it.” She recalls the moment when that changed. “One day on Rachel Getting Married, Jonathan altered something in the script, and I said, ‘Jonathan! Why did you change this?! It was better the other way and here’s A, B, C, D, E, F, G why!’ And he smiled at me and said, ‘Hey, Annie? Maybe instead of telling me why I’m wrong, you could ask me why I made the choice I made.’” With that response, she says, memories of herself being dismissive or abrasive on sets past came rushing back. “I instantly felt so ashamed,” she says. “I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to people, but that’s exactly what I had done for years.”

But even as she was sometimes overly assertive—though one does get the sense that Hathaway tends to exaggerate her own flaws—she was also racked with insecurity.

During the filming of her breakout movie, 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, director David Frankel says he was astounded by Hathaway’s seriousness and sensitivity, but he noticed that those traits were also limitations. “Annie throws herself so deeply into things that sometimes you have to pull her back out,” he says. “I remember a big scene we almost couldn’t shoot because Annie had such commitment to identifying with the anxiety of the character that she made herself ill.”

Hathaway is the first to admit that her intensity can be paralyzing. “Emily Blunt kind of changed my approach to acting,” she says of her Prada costar, who has become a close friend. “She just f---ing got on with it. She’d just jump off the diving board. I’d stop, look at the water and then jump. And suddenly I just thought, Why, her way looks so much more fun.”

But the actress, who calls herself an “optimistic fatalist—I assume bad things will happen, but I’m hopeful that maybe they won’t,” cautiously rejects this idea. “I’ve realized,” she says, “that no one is as good at making me feel isolated as I am. It’s something I did in the past.” Fortunately, difficult times have their rewards. “I’ve realized I have a lot of people in my life who, for whatever reason, love me very much. So I don’t think I’ll do that again.”

Didja mean N? LOL.

I thought xSFx. But I need to watch the interview, I'm just going on my recollections of a past interview.

Edit: Yeah, I'll keep that, but I could be totally wrong.

INTJ

 

[The Ü™]

ESFJ.

 

[booyalab]

ESFJ.

yeah ESFJ seems the most accurate of all the guesses so far, but I'm not sure whether she was just giving that spiel on literature and college because she thought that's what she was supposed to say or because she genuinely wants that career path.

Yeah, I was wondering that too...

ESFJ would be believable. She seems adept at handling social situations - at being collected and charming.

 

[proteanmix]

I'll say EJ as of right now.

 

[Dali]

Protean, no way she's N but going by some of those quotes you posted* and other interviews on Youtube, I'm starting to agree with the guys who've said ESFJ.


*e.g. She’s prone to being hard on herself, to holding herself to high standards, to fretting. “On the scale of someone who’s really laid-back about stuff and someone who worries a lot,” she notes, “I fall more towards the latter.”

Thanks for the prompt responses, guys!

 

[dynamiteninja]

ESFJ was initial choice. Now I still think ESFJ

 

[Lightyear]

She is lovely in the David Letterman interview, sometimes she seems so cheerful that it almost seems fake but she is so lovely that I don't care.

 

[ajblaise]

ESFJ I think.

She has that kind of simple and clear and present "sensor" look in the eyes.

 

[Jack Flak]

xSFJ almost certainly. I don't care enough about her to investigate further.

I agree with you... ISFP.

She looks like an ESFJ.

agreed

Yeah, agree. I get SFJ from her, and I'd say E.

 

[highlander]

All wrong. ISFJ.
