Cameron Diaz hasn’t been in any movies since she played Miss Hannigan in the 2014 musical remake Annie, and has said she’s retired from the acting business. But ever since she played Tina in The Mask back in 1994, she has accumulated many fans who love seeing her bubbly characters on the big screen.
From romantic comedies to action films to a very popular animated movie that stole moviegoers’ hearts, the actress has a super versatile list of roles on her résumé. Read on to find out the MBTI® of the most famous film characters that Cameron Diaz has played.
Natalie (Charlie’s Angels): ENFP
In the 2000 movie Charlie’s Angels, Cameron Diaz’s character Natalie is tough and kicks some serious butt when she needs to — which is often.
Natalie is a bit silly and ditzy, and she’s definitely “lively but restless,” which makes her an ENFP or “the imaginative motivator.” She loves adventures and can think on her feet.
Christina (The Sweetest Thing): ENTP
In the raunchy comedy The Sweetest Thing, Cameron Diaz plays Christina, an interior designer who has a very active dating life.
Christina wants to have fun and meet new people, making her an ENTP or “the enterprising explorer.” She’s “clever” and “energetic” as the official description says.
Sara (My Sister’s Keeper): ISFP
The 2009 film adaptation of the Jodi Picoult novel My Sister’s Keeper sees Cameron Diaz as Sara Fitzgerald, the mother of Kate, who has leukemia. It’s a very cheesy movie that can be melodramatic at times, as the subject matter suggests.
Sara is an ISFP or “the versatile supporter.” She will do everything in her power to help her daughter and save her life, and while Sara is a nice person, she can become incredibly stressed out at times. That makes sense, though, considering the family tragedy that she deals with every day.
Kimmy (My Best Friend’s Wedding): ISFJ
No one can forget Kimmy in My Best Friend’s Wedding, the woman who comes between Jules (Julia Roberts) and her best friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney).
Wealthy and much more reserved than Jules, Kimmy is an ISFJ or “the practical helper.” She wants to do the right thing and be a good person, and she also follows tradition, especially in wanting a conventional wedding.
Colleen Hannigan (Annie): ESTJ
Cameron Diaz’s version of the famous Annie character Miss Hannigan is an alcoholic who takes leadership to an evil level.
Since she likes being in charge of the foster children, Miss Hannigan would be an ESTJ or “the efficient organizer.” ESTJs like to tell people what they’re thinking, which Miss Hannigan definitely does.
Princess Fiona (Shrek): ISFP
Everyone loves the 2001 animated film Shrek, in which Cameron Diaz voiced the love interest, Fiona. Fiona is very concerned that she’s not pretty and all she wants is to look beautiful, but Shrek convinces her that he cares about her and she looks great no matter what.
Fiona’s MBTI® is ISFP or “the versatile supporter.” She wants to help people and she also cares about what they think since she wonders how she can be the princess that she believes people want her to be. She also is very humble.
Elizabeth (Bad Teacher): ESTP
Bad Teacher isn’t one of the greatest in Cameron Diaz’s filmography. In the 2011 comedy, she plays Elizabeth, who is basically the worst teacher ever.
Elizabeth would be an ESTP or “the energetic problem-solver.” She is determined to achieve certain goals… but she also happens to be super selfish.
Carly (The Other Woman): INTJ
Carly (Cameron Diaz) realizes that her partner is actually dating two other women. The three of them want to get revenge, so Carly sounds like an INTJ or “the conceptual planner.”
Not content to sit back and let the cheater get away with it, Carly makes sure that she’s got a plan in place. She’s “independent” and motivated.
Norma (The Box): ISTJ
The Box is a messy movie that falls apart halfway through, and it’s not one of Cameron Diaz’s best roles, but it’s definitely one of her most well-known.
Norma sacrifices herself once she learns the sinister nature of the titular supposed gift, and that makes her an ISTJ or “the responsible realist.” ISTJs are people who others can rely on, and that works here as Norma is a dutiful mother, teacher, and wife.
Jules (What To Expect What You’re Expecting): ESFP
Fitness icon Jules won’t let a baby stop her from achieving her career goals in What To Expect What You’re Expecting. Cameron Diaz plays this bubbly and tough character perfectly.
Jules is an ESFP or “the enthusiastic improviser.” Throwing up while winning a reality TV dance competition? No problem. Having a baby with someone she isn’t married to? That’s cool. Jules takes life as it comes and meets new challenges with a smile and good attitude, just like ESFPs.
