Personality interpretation

Miranda’s control of Runway and relentless direction of other people support an ENTJ interpretation of the novel’s character.

In Lauren Weisberger’s The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda leads a powerful fashion magazine and makes extraordinary demands of her assistant. The story presents work, influence and authority as central to the environment she creates around herself.

An ENTJ reading emphasises command and the pursuit of high-impact objectives. Her cruelty is not a defining feature of ENTJ; an ESTJ reading is also possible where the emphasis falls on standards and hierarchy.
