As she points out to Lexi in Season 2, she doesn’t know what her direction is and doesn’t know how to figure it out.Īs ISTPs grow and mature in life they become more in touch with their intuition and often have a better sense of where they want to be and what directions they want to pour their energy into. However, in Rue’s case, she seems unable to find her direction or envision a life beyond her addiction. At times this can be a good thing they can enjoy the moment and maximize it. Rather than hypothesizing about all that could be, they tend to fixate on what is. ISTPs see the world as it is and don’t impose a lot of ideals onto it. Rue’s sensing side is also evidenced in her perspective on life itself. She’s grounded and pragmatic enough to know that she probably won’t live long. Rue makes unwise decisions with full knowledge that they are unwise. In the chase scene in Season 2 of Euphoria we see her outwit the police repeatedly, having to respond to her environment at a rapid pace without time to think things through. Rue’s sensing side is apparent in the way that she, even while going withdrawal, manages to think quickly on her feet. Conflict is especially difficult for her, and while she may erupt explosively during times of extreme stress, she often regrets it and apologizes later. But underneath her often guarded exterior is a deeply sensitive inner feeling side. She internalizes her logic, analyzes things from a detached perspective, and looks at various leverage points that she could use to try to solve whatever problem she is immediately facing. Rue is clearly more in touch with thinking than her feeling side. While many people focus on ISTPs and their thinking abilities, many disregard the intense presence of the ISTP’s inferior Feeling function. Because the cognitive function that tends to be most concerned with social and emotional interactions ( Extraverted Feeling) is in the inferior position for them they can feel out-of-their-element when they have to rely on social prowess or creating a “spark” with another person. While this may have other root causes (perhaps she has social anxiety), it’s normal for dominant introverted thinking types (ISTPs and INTPs) to feel shy and apprehensive in social situations. She talks about how she depends on drugs to feel socially comfortable, and we can sense that she often feels awkward in social situations. Many moments throughout Euphoria we see Rue demonstrate the intense vulnerability of her inferior feeling side. The inferior function (in Rue’s case, feeling) is an area of vulnerability, self-consciousness, and even aspiration. Because of this, they have inferior feeling tendencies. ISTPs are dominant introverted thinking types. During a moment of intense stress and anxiety, she breaks down and tells Jules “you just can’t be mad at me for wanting you to be okay.” Though she has deep feelings for Jules, she often keeps them inside until she reaches a breaking point. Like most unhealthy ISTPs, she appears aloof, detached, and non-committal. Rue is an unhealthy ISTP who seems hell-bent on her own destruction. “I just showed up one day without a map or a compass.” – Rue The Myers-Briggs® Personality Types of the Euphoria Characters Rue Bennett – ISTP Not sure what your personality type is? Take our new personality questionnaire here. If you have a different perspective be sure to let me know in the comments! However, I’ve spent many hours analyzing the characters from this show and I feel that these are the most likely types. As an MBTI® practitioner, I can’t sit across from Lexi or Suze and give an official type consultation. Currently I don’t want to type Gia or Ali Muhammad because I don’t feel like there’s enough clear information on them in the series.ĭisclaimer: As with all fictional typings, I can only make my best guesses at the personality types of the characters in Euphoria. I hope to add to this article in the future as more seasons of Euphoria are available. I do think Gia could be an ISFJ, but we haven’t gotten enough insight into her yet for me to adequately type her. There are certain types (ENFJ, ISFJ, and INTP for example) that I don’t see any of in the series so far. Also keep in mind that all 16 Myers-Briggs® personality types aren’t represented in Euphoria. If you have the same personality type as a character from Euphoria, it doesn’t mean that you act out in the same way or make the same risky decisions. Are you more of a Maddy or a Rue? A Jules or a Fez? Keep in mind, many of the characters in this series are extremely immature, unhealthy, or dysfunctional. Have you ever wondered if one of the Euphoria characters has the same Myers-Briggs® personality type as you do? In today’s article we’re taking a deeper look at each of the stand-out characters from the HBO series.
