Jennifer Aniston is one of the most popular working actresses in Hollywood today. Her claim to fame began when she played Rachel Green on the popular and long-running sitcom Friends, but since then she has appeared in tons of films, both comedy and drama, and recently made her television return alongside actress Reese Witherspoon in the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.
Since she’s played so many characters, she has also played a variety of personalities. We’re looking at the MBTI of Aniston’s most notable characters.
Rachel Green from Friends - ESFP
Rachel Green is the role that launched Jennifer Aniston into stardom. As such, it’s one of her most popular characters and one that many people relate to. Rachel is definitely an ESFP personality type. She’s very extroverted and creative, that’s why she’s successful in the fashion industry.
However, she can also be flighty, impulsive, and selfish, these are all some of the common “bad” traits of the ESFP type folks out there. That said, she has an infectious laugh, is bubbly, and genuinely caring about people. She likes to impress.
Carol Vanstone from Office Christmas Party - ESTJ
Carol is definitely what we would consider “The Supervisor” personality. Her initial goal in Office Christmas Party is lay off most of the staff and make people scramble to find new jobs.
She starts off as the antagonist, for all intents and purposes, but she thaws out a little as the movie continues. ESTJ’s really care about doing the “right” thing even if it is also the hard thing to do. They’re very good leaders and they’re excellent at thinking strategically. They get the job done.
Alex Levy from The Morning Show - ENTJ
Alex Levy is Jennifer Aniston’s newest character from the Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. Her character is struggling with the cutthroat world of television journalism, particularly when she begins to feel pushed out by the company she works for thanks to a growing scandal and not being the “next big thing.”
She is definitely an ENTJ, as she is a natural leader and good at make quick decisions. She is a force to be reckoned with when need be but can also get caught up in her own head at times.
Rose from We’re the Millers - ISFJ
Rose from We’re the Millers starts off as a stripper, until she gets involved in a scheme with Jason Sudeikis’s character to masquerade as a family and smuggle drugs. She’s not exactly the most morally sound person, but she quickly takes on the role of a maternal figure for their fake family.
Rose is good at tough love, but she can also be soft and understanding when she has to be. It just takes a little time for her tough shell to crack.
Julia Harris from Horrible Bosses - ESFJ
Julia Harris is a social butterfly and a notable extrovert. She’s also got a few screws loose and is a serial sexual harasser. Julia is a dentist who is one of the “horrible bosses” in the film series Horrible Bosses.
In both films, she tries to seduce Charlie Day’s character Dale Arbus. She has no regard for personal boundaries. That’s not necessarily indicative of someone who is an ESFJ, but it fits for Julia thanks to her exuberant personality and reckless behavior.
Tory Reding from Leprechaun - INTP
Tory Reding is one of Jennifer Aniston’s first big roles. The Leprechaun movies have never been critical darlings, but they do have a strong cult following. Tory is one of Aniston’s shyer characters, and she doesn’t have much to do in terms of character development in the film.
Her only goal quickly becomes to stay alive once the Leprechaun starts to attack her and her family at the O’Grady farmhouse. The fact she manages to stay quick on her toes and think fast enough to stay ahead of the curve definitely makes her an INTP.
Claire Simmons from Cake - INTJ
Claire Simmons is one of Jennifer Aniston’s best roles in that Cake earned her several award nominations. Many critics even thought she would get an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Claire, an addict and an alcoholic, in the film Cake.
Her character is excellent at manipulating people, particularly her doctors, who she uses to get pain medication subscriptions to fuel her addiction. She can be very bitter and selfish and often prefers to keep her own company. She has not always been good at handling the trauma in her life.
Rosie Dickson from Dumplin’ - ESFP
Rosie Dickson has some similar personality traits to Rachel Green, which is why they’re the same MBTI type but overall Rosie is a little different from Rachel. She is a mother to Willowdean “Dumplin,” in this Netflix film, and a former pageant queen.
Her knack for excellent performance techniques and ability to impress those around her with her grace and talent definitely makes her an ESFP. Plus she can be selfish and short-sighted, which causes some issues between her and her daughter, but ultimately she learns how to be a better person and a better mother.
Linda Gergenblatt from Wanderlust - INFJ
Wanderlust is a fun movie starring a great cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, and Justin Theroux. Aniston plays Linda Gergenblatt, an esteemed businesswoman who finds herself in a marital rut. She and her husband are forced to sell their apartment and move, and they stumble upon a hippie commune.
Linda is someone who is very creative and resolute in the life she knows, but she is also open-minded the longer she spends time around the new people she meets. She finds herself opening up to new experiences and even using her own life knowledge to help others.
Beth Murphy from He’s Just Not That Into You - ISTJ
Aniston’s character in this romantic-comedy film is dealing with a boyfriend (played by Ben Affleck) who doesn’t want to get married. Unfortunately, as an ISTJ, old-school values are important to Beth.
However, she does eventually decide she’ll be with Neil even if he doesn’t want to get married, but ISTJs are very stubborn about their traditions, values, and ideals. Luckily for Beth, Neil does eventually propose to her and all is well. However, she is someone who tends to overthink and yet can also learn from her environment as she does in the movie.
