You: Love Quinn - Type 6w7

Love is reactive, protective, caring and insecure. Love is very concerned with having a relationship as she seeks stability. 

I feel like Love was a bit difficult to type, because I think what the show is going for is that Love and Joe are the same. However, I don’t believe they have the same motivations for killing or for their actions. I also think this is shown in that Joe is constantly becoming obsessed with new people because he is desperate to find ‘the one’. Yet, I think Love is more concerned with finding love so she can have a stable relationship and have the family she always wanted, especially as her family life has been very dysfunctional. I also feel like Love kills when she feels like she needs to protect her loved ones (Forty and Joe), whereas, Joe kills when he feels rejected (attempted murder of Candiace and Beck) or in pursuit of his obsession (Benji and Peach). Hence, I actually think Love is more of a 6 than a 2, as she is more reactive (as 6s are in the reactive triad) and she is more driven by security and stability than love itself. 

At her best, Love is very caring and does a lot for the people she loves, as we see in her relationships with Joe and Forty. 

At her worst, Love can be overreactive and do things without thinking, as we see in her killings. She also seems to become paranoid and insecure. 

Love had a very close relationship with her brother Forty as she has always felt like she had to keep him safe and make sure he was ok. Her mother even scolds her and tells her that her one job was to keep him safe. As a result, she is always looking out for signs that something is going to go wrong with Forty, which is common for 6s. She is very scared he is going to relapse so she has trained herself to recognise the signs to make sure he is ok. 

Love becomes very obsessed with Joe and does a lot to protect the relationship, even going as far as killing Deliah and Candiace. However, this is a double-edged sword, as she also has at the back of her mind that Joe does’t love her anymore because of the things she has done, leading her to do bad things like killing Natalie. She admits to having a fear of abandonment and she is always worried that Joe will kill or leave her, meaning she can never truly trust him. 

Love has a wing 7 as she is more personable, extroverted and warm than a 6w5

“We’re all a little broken. Yet some pieces still manage to fit together.”

You: Joe Goldberg - Type 2w1

Joe is possessive, clingy, manipulative and paranoid he is always looking for love and a relationship to allow him to take care of his partner.

At his best, Joe wants to protect the people he loves and cares for. He goes to extreme lengths which are definitely not healthy but he genuinely wants to keep Paco safe from Ron and sees himself in Paco and his need to have a positive role model. Joe tries to be a good man towards Paco and later towards Ellie as he sees them as being children that he needs to take care of and protect.

At his worst, Joe tries to justify his bad behaviour and actions as being a way he shows how deeply he loves and cares for individuals. He is mostly unhealthy throughout the series and as his relationships start to fall apart or change he takes on extreme behaviours and reactions. He starts to stalk Beck and accuses her of cheating on him and only wants her to focus on him.

Joe was heavily influenced by his childhood and the lack of love, attention and care he received from his parents. As a result he feels like he has to be needed by others and wants to find ways to help and be useful to them in order to see his worth. In his romantic relationships he wants to be the hero of the story and sees himself as a Prince Charming type that swoops in to save the damsel in distress. He truly sees himself as being romantic, loving and supportive of his partners and doesn’t see much wrong with his actions. He thinks he has to rescue and protect others and this also extends to his behaviour towards Paco, Ellie, Delilah and Evan.

Joe imprisons several characters throughout the series and his beginning intentions are not to murder them or overly hurt them. He wants to protect his secrets and the image that he has presented to the world and tries to keep them from having access to expose his lies. He has a warped moral code thanks to his time with Mooney and believes he is keeping Beck, the real Will and Delilah safe by locking them up and not hurting them. He believes his murder of Henderson is justified as he is a bad man and deserved what came to him but he didn’t actually want to kill Beck and Candace.

Joe has a tendency to articulate his thoughts and go with a completely oppositional thought. He often says what people want to hear and keeps his own options to himself as a way of trying to ingratiate himself into their lives and world.

Joe has a wing 1 as he is less extroverted than a wing 3 might be and also focuses a lot on people who he deems as “good” or bad.

Some quotes to describe Joe’s motivations:

“You know, the first step to fixing something is to know no matter how destroyed it seems, it can always be saved.”

Love. This is why you’re not for me. Once upon a time, I believed in love. Sure, I’d been hurt before, but I’d learned from that, and I wanted to fight for a fresh start - the real thing this time. So, boy meets girl. Boy knows this is something special and he thinks, ‘let me do everything I can to make this right.’ So I did. I was brave, I was vulnerable, I won her the old fashioned day. I tried to do everything right - for her. I knew you have to do anything for love, so I did.”

“Don Quixote becomes a knight because he believes in chivalry and treating women with respect.”

” The most important things are those that are fragile and must be protected”

“The most valuable things in life are usually the most helpless.”

“I’ll help you get the life you deserve .”
