Divergent: The Factions, Personality Types & Values

Abnegation: This faction is all about selflessness. In Divergent, they wear plain, gray clothing so as not to draw attention to themselves. They go further than just being kind; they believe in always putting others before themselves. They serve as the nation’s public servants—the idea being that people who are completely selfless and generous will create the fairest version of society.

  • Myers Briggs: INFJ, ENFJ, ISFJ, ESFJ
  • Enneagram: Type 9


Amity: Amity values peace and kindness. They believe in avoiding conflict at all costs. Like Abnegation, they’re generous, but unlike Abnegation, they choose neutrality over everything, including fairness. Because of this, they’re tasked with food production, because it’s service-oriented, but neutral—no matter your beliefs or values, you have to eat!

  • Myers Briggs: INFP, ENFP, ISFP
  • Enneagram: Type 4, Type 2


Candor: This faction is dedicated to truth and honesty. These people believe that lies and deception are the root of all evil and violence. Eliminate them from society, and peace will follow. They believe that dodging uncomfortable truths is easier to do, but harmful over time. If everyone were always open, the world would be a better place. This faction makes up the society’s lawyers and judges.

  • Myers Briggs: ISTJ, ESTJ, ENTJ, ISTP
  • Enneagram: Type 1, Type 6


Dauntless: Dauntless believes in bravery above all. This faction sees weakness and fear as the source of all injustices and major conflicts in society. They live their lives by a simple principle: embrace and conquer fears to make the world a better place. Naturally, they fill societies’ more physical and frightening roles, like police officers and military professionals.

  • Myers Briggs: ESFP, ESTP, ENTP
  • Enneagram: Type 7, Type 8


Erudite: These people believe in knowledge. They’re dedicated researchers and students of the world. This faction believes that ignorance and misinformation hurt society more than anything, and so they devote their lives to learning. They are society’s educators and researchers. It’s also worth noting that in the Divergent series, this faction lost touch with its founding principles and eventually pursued power over knowledge (attempting to overthrow the government entirely!).

  • Myers Briggs:
  • Enneagram: Type 3, Type 5


Divergent: In the Divergent series, these people don’t fit cleanly into one category. They don’t just rely on intelligence, bravery, selflessness, peace, or honesty. They believe that striking a balance yields the best results, and that’s what we really need in society—a combination of strengths and belief systems. Divergents are able to see past the limits of the society that surrounds them. They cut through the noise and march to the beat of their own drum. If you’re “divergent” in today’s reality, you might question longstanding institutions, like the government, gender norms, or religion.
