Eliza Schuyler Hamilton- Hamilton Myers-Briggs Personality Types

 

Eliza Schuyler Hamilton: ISFP-INFP

I- Eliza is always shown as the quiet, peace-loving sister. For an introvert, a few close people would be enough (see what I did there? ;) For Eliza, it would be Angelica, Hamilton, and perhaps Peggy.

"I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight." -Helpless

"Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom." (instead of approaching him) -Helpless

S/N- You might be asking "Why two types?" This is because she goes through a change from the beginning to the end. Mostly from the version of herself when Hamilton was alive (ISFP) to after his death (INFP). While he was alive, she lived in the now, satisfied with being with him alive and well. However, once he was gone, she started looking towards the future, trying to preserve Alex's life's work (note that he is of the iNtuition type) and looks forward to when she will meet him again.
Personally, as an INFP myself, I really identify with the Eliza in the closing song, but not that much before that.

S- "Look at where you are. Look at where you started. The fact that you're alive is a miracle. Just stay alive, that would be enough." -That Would Be Enough

N- "And when my time is up, have I done enough? Will they tell our (your) story? Oh, I can't wait to see you again. It's only a matter of time." -Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story

F- Overall, Eliza seems the motherly type. She's caring and compassionate, both traits of the Feeling type. When she was being courted by Alex, she didn't take the road her sister took (though ultimately Angelica also based her decision on this preference): the logical one. Instead of thinking about Ham's motives, she listened to how he made her feel.

"Then you walked in and my heart went, 'Boom!'" -Helpless

"You and your words flooded my senses. Your sentences left me defenseless." -Burn

P- Eliza really just goes with the flow so long as Hamilton comes at the end of the day. I really see more of an easy-going air to Eliza rather than an organized and work-oriented one.

"So long as you come home at the end, that would be enough." -That Would Be Enough

So yeah, starts off as "The Protector" and ends "The Idealist." Sounds about right, huh? Leave your opinion down below :)
