In reply to Marisa. Extraverts can have inner worlds, too. Then again, are you talking about movies or books? In the books, after Joyce dies, Anne notes how she is afraid of being alone. This is not a sign of an introvert. Anne is definitely an ENFP.

In reply to Nathan Grabown. It is a continuous debate! I still fall on believing Anne is an INFP, though. She's just a talkative version of an INFP.

Love it! Personally I would change Anne to ENFP and potentially Matthew Cuthbert to ISFP (not as confident about that one)… My justification for Anne is that INFPs are simply not able to display the kind of confrontational ability Anne has… We would much sooner suck it up in the moment and work things out slowly in a quieter way …

In reply to Annieyo.

I Agree.
As an INFP myself, I can definitely identify with Anne, we’re so much alike it’s almost creepy
Your right, INFP’s do have a talkative side (hence the most E of the I personalities), However, we enjoy some solitude and keep a close circle of friends. Also, notice that as she gets older she seems quieter and more reserved?

Anyway, personally, I’m 100% sure she’s an INFP.
Thanks

I could totally see an argument for either one, and I think that the book/movies/miniseries portray her differently based on the actress who plays her. In the new Netflix show she really seems like an INFP and truly lives in her own world, but in the older movies she seems very much an ENFP and seems much more extroverted in general. I think she is meant to be an INFP in the books and ultimately I think is an INFP (because L.M.M. created her character in the book first) but Meagan Follows is an extrovert and I think pulled some of that into her character in the Canadian films. I would argue if I had seen only the 1985 film with Meagan and not read the books that she was absolutely an ENFP based on her character in those films. Honestly, I think that’s why there is so much debate.

In reply to Amber Topping.

Hi, I watched movie and I felt similar as Anne. In fact, my mom said that she could see Anne in me. Later, I found out more about myself and took the personality test and the result INFP. As I read more about INFP and some other personality, I felt that INFP is 100% fits me. I even send two closest friends of mine and they said it sounds so much like me. That’s when I found out through personality test for fictional character is Anne, Anne the Green Gables, I was like, “no wonder!” So I tends to be talkative when I am closest with my friends. I can be outgoing but my dominate is still Introvert.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

In reply to Mandysgirls. I agree she's an ENFP.

Wow! I’m so glad I found this post (posted two years ago too!)! I’m currently re-watching the entire Anne of Green Gables series again, and am in a crazy ‘Anne fan-girling’ mood. I love reading about all the MBTI types and just finished reading through all of these comment! It made me overjoyed to see you put Anne as an INFP (probably because I myself am an INFP. Hahaha!). I can see where a lot of people are coming from though when they say that Anne is Extroverted, because sometimes I, too, think that she has more ‘E’ than ‘I’. But I absolutely understand where you’re coming from and will say, too, that she is an INFP because it makes me extremely happy. 🙂
