Functional Order: Ne/Fi/Se/Ti
Dominant Fucntion: Ne
Vanessa has quite a free spirited to life; she pickets in the street, she shaves her head, she works as a barista, she takes over a loft, she starts a business, she has a threesome, she takes photos and uses them to blackmail a woman into releasing Nate from an entanglement, she hops in and out of bed with various men, she lives a bohemian lifestyle, she focuses on what could be and goes wherever life leads her. She is also quite artistic and interested in new ideas, movies and literature, something she bonds over with Dan.
Auxiliary Function: Fi
She is a fiercely moral person, who doesn’t care what others think of her and who often stands up for what she believes is right. Her main beef with Blair is the underhanded things she does to get back at, or to control, people, which Vanessa finds reprehensible. Whenever she does do anything against her own moral conscience (such as blackmail), she feels tremendous guilt about it, and sometimes will call it off. She also deals with her feelings for Dan mainly in secret, and can be over-tolerant of his callous behavior toward her and others.
Tertiary Function: Te
Vanessa isn’t so emotionally driven that she’s above creating alliances for the greater good; however. She and Serena eventually become friends, after they were sort-of enemies (she envied Serena’s relationship with Dan). She moralizes at Nate for his immoral relationships, but also helps him free himself from bad entanglements. She is an effective businessperson when she needs to be.
Inferior Function: Si
Vanessa struggles with the traditions and old fashioned ways of high society. She prefers a more free spirited approach to life and isn‘t to focused on small details. This clashes her to clash with some of the more conservative Upper East Siders. She values her past relationships with Dan and the others, but knows when it’s time for her to move on.
