Introduction
We explore Donnie Darko’s personality type, best personality matches, zodiac sign and Enneagram type. Donnie Darko is a fictional character from the movie Donnie Darko. He is a youngster in Middlesex, Virginia, who has been under psychological attention and medication. He lives with his parents and two sisters and attends a private school. On October 2 1988, in the middle of the night Donnie finds in his mind a strange individual, Frank, who is wearing a rabbit costume and an odd mask, foretelling an imminent final even that will occur within a month. Donnie’s subsequent behaviour leads us to question if Donnie is suffering from a mental illness, living in a parallel universe or if the world really will end.

At some points in the movie, it almost seems as if he prides himself on being extremely direct and unconcerned with social niceties. He goes to extreme lengths to avoid people, to an unhealthy extent.
Donnie can be highly critical of others, which unhealthy INTPs justify to themselves by believing they are pointing out the truth. He hates being told what to do which comes from a place of being convinced he is always right. Donnie rarely sticks to deadlines and feels that rules don’t apply to him. Plus, he lacks the empathy of healthy INTPs, coming across as cold and uncaring which people can find difficult to deal with.
