Encanto Don’t be afraid to push boundaries. From the lack of “proper” Disney villains to the exploration of family trauma, the film transcends Disney stereotypes to tell a compelling and heartfelt story of attachment and expectation. Part of the success of this movie is all the different types of characters in the movie.
The Madrigal family may have different talents, but what really sets them apart is who they are. It is therefore useful and necessary to use the systems provided by Meyers-Briggs® to understand their intricacies.

Mirabell – ESFJ
Mirabell is definitely considered one of the best roles Stephanie Beatriz has ever played, and she performed some of the best songs in the film. She also exhibits many of the traits commonly associated with ESFJ personality types, especially her desire to be seen, understood, and appreciated for what they bring and their special talents.
Furthermore, she also does everything she can to create harmony in the Madrigal family, especially when chaos begins to creep in.
Abuela Alma – ISTJ
Disney has a lot of mother characters, and Abuela Alma is sure to be in them. While she’s not a villain, she’s quite stubborn in some important ways. As such, she tends to have a rather hostile attitude towards Mirabell (especially since she lacks her magical talent).
She has a very down-to-earth approach to life and family which means she is very ISTJ. Equally important, she also takes family traditions and loyalty very seriously, even if doing so sometimes means she discredits the family itself.
Bruno – ENTJ
Bruno is one of the most likable characters in the movie because he’s an outcast, ignored by quite a few people. However, this is partly due to his ability to see the future, and importantly, his willingness to tell people what he sees and hears.
He is thus very similar to other ENTJ personality types, who are primarily known for their willingness to tell others what they see and feel, regardless of the possible consequences.
Antonio Madrigal – ENFJ
Each member of the Madrigal family has their magical gifts, and Antonio can finally converse with animals.
With that in mind, he has shown himself to be a very sensitive and empathetic person when he is gifted with the gift, so it is understandable that he fits the parameters of the ENFJ personality type. They are often characterized by being sensitive to the emotions of others. In particular, Antonio shows that he admires Mirabelle for who she is and not for the person he wants her to be.
Julieta Madrigal – ENFJ
Juliet also joins the ranks of famous mothers in the Disney canon, and like all great moms, she has an innate ability to heal others, especially her cooking skills. . Of course, it’s a valuable skill and suits her ENFJ personality.
Because of how worried Mirabelle felt about not getting the same magical gifts as the rest of her family, she always saw potential in her daughter, even as the rest of the family. refuse to do so.
Luisa Madrigal – ESTP
There are many strong Disney characters out there, but obviously Louisa would be considered one of the strongest. However, she is more than just muscle, and she cares deeply about her family. Louisa wants to help and protect them in any way she can. At the same time, she exhibits many of the qualities of an ESTP.
In particular, she is the type who always jumps into the problem to find a solution without spending too much time thinking about it.
Pepa Madrigal – INFP
Out of all the members of the Madrigal family, Pepa is said to be one of the most emotional, which can be a bit troublesome since she can control the weather.
She is also very insistent that the world she lives in is the way she thinks it should be, which means she gets along perfectly with INFPs. This is a personality type marked by a particularly sensitive attitude, especially when they feel threatened.
Isabella Madrigal – ESFP
In a way, Isabella is more of a stereotypical Disney princess than her older sister, with the ability to create flowers. She clearly feels the burden of being perfect all the time, but she also shares many of the characteristics of an ESFP.
In particular, she is the type who wants to be surrounded by creature comforts. Although she didn’t have a good relationship with her sister at first, she quickly demonstrated ESFP’s ability to get along with others.
Dolores Idyll – ENFP
Like the rest of her family, Dolores has a special gift, in her case, being able to hear things with uncanny detail. She is a pretty natural person, and she quickly develops feelings for the man who is supposed to marry her cousin.
While she doesn’t immediately express her feelings for him, she still craves his affirmation and love. This means that she is very much an ENFP, the personality type that needs the support of others the most.
Camilo Madrigal – ISTP
At the time the movie begins, Camillo, like Mirabell, remains an ever-changing character, trying to figure out who he is and what he wants. At the same time, his ability to transform into other people — there are very few people he can’t transform into — means that he has a pretty deep understanding of people and why they do what they do.
In that case, he is the family member that best fits the ISTP personality type.
