Also known as the Logistician, Wednesday Addams is the level-headed brain of the family. Reserved and methodical, Wednesday has demonstrated that her preference for solitude doesn’t stop short of pursuing her passions and intrigue. Her reputation for being unsympathetic is often challenged by the relationships she makes along the way and pushes her into a corner of cautiously expressing emotion. Nevertheless, Wednesday’s inclination to be honest and direct allows room to be surprised by her talents and willingness to let loose.

While often calm and practical, Wednesday is also confronted by her insensitivity and stubbornness. Even so, audiences can appreciate how quickly she’ll own up to her mistakes and her overall composure.

2 Morticia Addams: ENFP

Beautifully enigmatic and whimsical, Zeta-Jones’ Morticia Addams closely identifies with the Campaigner personality. The ENFP types are free spirits, often openhearted and open-minded, all of which Morticia exemplifies in her passionate marriage to Gomez and her heart-on-her-sleeve style of nurturing.

Morticia’s psychic ability makes her intuitive and empathetic while her adolescence at Nevermore Academy presents her sociable, vibrant inner self. Even if her stand-stills with Wednesday may cause her to be puzzled and unfocused, she finds a way to communicate and move past the obstacle. Regardless, it is evident the dove-like psychic believes in the interconnectedness of everyone and everything, valuing it dearly.

3 Gomez Addams: ESFP

Gomez Addams’ vibrant experiences and encouraging nature point in the direction of the Entertainer personality. His willingness to teach Wednesday all his quirky know-how and readiness to protect the love of his life demonstrate how easily Gomez will get caught in the moment. Additionally, as an ESFP, his aesthetic sense and pin-stripped suits live up to his bombastic personality.

As a father figure and head of the household, Gomez also expresses how observant and sensitive he may be to the struggles and stubborn nature of his daughter. In his own way, Gomez is a fit listener, first up to mend a challenge and therefore provides excellent emotional support to his family. Both bold yet often distracted by his whims and passions, Gomez brings forth joy and opportunity in any given moment.

4 Pugsley Addams: INFP

Pugsley Addams, quiet and unassuming therefore the Mediator of the Addams Family. Though he makes so few appearances in Wednesday, Pugsley is often shown to speak up about his emotions readily and is well attuned to his thoughts and feelings. Like Morticia, he is empathetic to one’s struggles to express what they are truly thinking or feeling and is found to inspire compassion in the rational mind of his sister.

Even in a big family, Pugsley does seem to display a sort of loneliness and vulnerability uncommon in the family’s backdrop. Nevertheless, generous with his time and kindness, Pugsley may be the most imaginative and open-minded of the entire family.

5 Fester Addams: ESTP

Energetic and action-oriented is certainly how Fester Addams was introduced and fitting of the Entrepreneur personality. Seen on the run and conversational, Fester is a man who plans on the way and makes his critical decisions by stress response, still making him seek rational alternatives. However, it is clear from his debut at Wednesday’s doorstep that he lives on the edge and breaks any rule so as to break away from traditional structure.

Fester mentions Gomez was the brains between the two brothers, though it is possible Uncle Fester’s original thinking was simply not meant for formal education. After all, he is quick to pick up on hidden thoughts and signs that even his niece may have missed.

6 Thing: ESFJ

From helping Wednesday burn down statues to manicures with Enid, Thing is at heart the Consul. His continual role in the Addams family is to be the consistent support and extra hand (pun unintended) when help is needed. Thing is the bedrock of their community, often exhibited by his reliability in getting the job done and loyalty to the family’s cause.

In helping Wednesday attend dances and celebrate her birthday, Thing is the member to delve his energy into making others feel special and finds peace in their fulfillment. Let’s not overlook, however, that like the ESFJ type, Thing will take being unappreciated personally if made evident. Even so, Thing will be sure to gesture and sign his way into holding everyone and everything together.
