Perfect personality pairings of The Vampire Diaries characters
We’ve looked at the personality types of The Vampire Diaries characters but what about the most compatible couples in the series?
Caroline Forbes, an ESFJ, and Tyler Lockwood, an ISTP, would be the perfect personality type pairing, just like me and my boyfriend! They always had a strong connection up until Tyler’s desire to avenge his and his mom’s life by killing Klaus took over.
Elijah Mikaelson, an INTJ, and Katherine Pierce, an ENTP, would also have been the perfect personality match. They were a couple in 1492 before Katherine was even a vampire. They then reconnected in the present day but there were ulterior motives at hand.
Rebekah Mikaelson, an ESFP, was always on the lookout for love and to be loved. She formed a strong connection with Matt, an ISTJ, for a few months, and they would have been the perfect match…if only she hadn’t left for The Originals TV series.
