Myers Briggs: INFJ
Ni: Camille is extremely analytical and intuitive about people. She is good at reading between the lines and figuring out what people are thinking or feeling. She is a good strategist and thinks things through. She always develops a plan before acting.
Fe: Cami is openly expressive of her feelings and is very compassionate. She believes that people are good, but she still has a realistic view of the world and the darkness that exists inside of people. She cares about social norms and is quick to remind Klaus of them when he breaks one of those rules.
Ti: Cami is logical and impartial. She is good at noticing other people’s logical inconsistencies. She is very inquisitive and theoretical. She takes a systematic apprach towards her own darkness as well as Klaus’s and everyone around her. She is generally rational and level headed when making decisions.
Se: Cami is not the best fighter, and uses her ability to plan and strategize to overcompensate for this. When Klaus takes her dark objects, she takes the white oak because she believes the only way to protect herself is to have an advantage against her potential adversaries, vampires that are stronger than her. She appears to be in the grip of Se, acting impulsively to try and protect herself due to her anxiety about her physical abilities.

Cami is very principled and perfectionistic. She believes in the goodness of people and hopes to bring out Klaus’s kinder side and help him become a better person. She is ambitious and disciplined. She takes care of her friends and wants to be a good, loving person. When she becomes a vampire, she disintegrates to 7 and becomes much more impulsive and less perfectionistic. Cami wants to be a good person, and is terrified of her own inner darkness and attraction to Klaus because of this darkness. She is afraid she will end up like her brother before finding out he was hexed, and studies psychology to understand her own darkness after assaulting a man in college.

In the book he mentions not really having an aptitude for anything outside of impersonating other people. He is not concerned with logical principles but is more focused on status so that he can attract other people’s attention and achieve his goals.
Going forward on this blog I would like to answer questions related to personality systems. Anyone is welcome to submit any questions regarding this topic and I will answer them. I will also begin posting explanations of various topics such as the cognitive functions, enneagram motivations, instinctual variants, and other things in various systems, in addition to typing fictional characters. I will also be typing some celebrities at some point. Requests of characters for me to type are also welcome. I also have a new blog focusing exclusively on attitudinal psyche for those of you who are interested. (attitudinalpsyche Attitudinal Psyche Explained is the blog) Also, I am not certain how much I will be posting since this is my first semester of college back on campus, but I will try to post a few times a month.
