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 :)

Alexander Hamilton- Hamilton Myers-Briggs Personality Types

Alexander Hamilton

ENFJ

E- Do I really need to explain this? He is outgoing and outspoken. He wants his ideas heard and is not afraid to speak his mind, even to a fault sometimes. Alex is truly gregarious.

"I have not been shy, I am just a guy in the public eye." -Your Obedient Servant

"Oh, am I talkin' too loud? Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth." -My Shot

"I know I talk too much." -Non-Stop

N- Alex is always looking towards the future and looking at the bigger picture- leaving his legacy. Ever since his youth, he has been looking for a way to reach his goals for the future instead of living each day in the present as a Sensing type does.

"I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory." -My Shot, Yorktown, The World Was Wide Enough

"Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me." -My Shot

"You and your words, obsessed with your legacy." -Burn

"He will never be satisfied." -Satisfied

F- Ham always follows what his heart believes is right. However, this doesn't mean he isn't as intelligent as someone with a Thinking type. Ham is actually said to be more intelligent than the average person, of course. He just follows personal and other people's feelings over logic, which led to the rise of his career and also the downfall.

"Why do you always say what you believe?" -Non-Stop (though this may also apply to Extraverted)

"Goes and proposes his own form of government, his own plan for a new form of government, talks for six hours [...] yo who the f is this?" -Non-Stop

"I will not equivocate on my opinion, I have always worn it on my sleeve." -Your Obedient Servant

"I won't apologize for doing what's right." -Your Obedient Servant

"For once in your life, take a stand with pride. I don't understand how you stand to the side." -Non-Stop

J- Judging types are organized and have plans. Hamilton is this exactly. He knows what needs to be done in order for him to fulfill his goals and he sticks to it. And as for organized... well, the evidence is pretty much in two quotes below.

"But my papers are orderly, as you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered." -We Know

"Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements." -Your Obedient Servant

"I wanted to do what you did, graduate in two then join the revolution." -Aaron Burr, Sir

"Tryin' to reach my goal, my power of speech, unimpeachable." -My Shot

"As a kid in the Caribbean I wish for a war, I knew it was the only way to rise up." -Right Hand Man (this could also apply to iNtuition)
