Alias: Joker From the 2019 film Joker Played by Joaquin Phoenix Requested by an anon
While different from several other versions of the Joker with his sympathetic qualities throughout most of the film, Arthur falls into a sociopathic mindset by the end of the film. Once he becomes the Clown Prince of Crime, he fully embraces this mindset.
(NOTE: As I point out many times on the profiles, this isn’t a diagnosis, only a character analysis. I definitely know that he might not genuinely be considered a sociopath, but as far as the character-type goes, he ends up filling enough of the requirements.)
For starters, Arthur ends up realizing that he doesn’t feel bad about the Wall Street Three. While the first two could be argued as self-defense, the third was an outright execution. While he was scared at first, he calmed himself down and ended up not caring about them at all. He was proud enough to actually admit it on live television. And he laughs off the death of one person and two cops getting critically injured as a result of something he did.
Cop 1: Stop laughing, you freak. This isn’t funny. Cop 2: Yeah, the whole f*cking city’s on fire because of what you did. Joker: I know. Isn’t it beautiful?
Because of the continuous abuse that he suffers from everyone around him, Arthur starts only consider the pain he has incurred thanks to what has happened to him. He begins to justify his several killings which become even less justifiable as the film goes on. He has only hurt people who have wronged him, but the punishment doesn’t ultimately fit the crime when we finally get to Murray’s murder.
Ultimately, Joker only cares about himself. He just wanted to be noticed. He wanted some affection and as people become more harsh towards him, he’s more desperate to get it. Since the fact that Arthur didn’t get noticed but Joker did, he decided to become Joker and embrace the adoration of the rioters.
And while Arthur’s social skills leave much to be desired, Joker’s bombastic showmanship makes him the superficially charming kind of guy that he is in most mediums. He knows how to deliver a joke with some charm (even if he can’t truly tell one to save his life). When he finally becomes comfortable with the persona, he starts talking in a rather hammy way, befitting the showman he aspires to be.
Thanks to his other disorders, he’s very disconnected from others. It is possible this comes from schizotypal personality disorder rather than antisocial. However, he moves from trying to understand how to function in society to actively fighting it. Arthur actively revels in the destruction of society. He watches the riots around Gotham from the back seat of the police car with adoration. He fully believes that everything that happens to Gotham, it brought it upon itself.
“YOU GET WHAT YOU f*ckIN’ DESERVE!”
Arthur even has moments when he just starts adding insult to injury. When he kills Randall, he starts making jokes with Gary while the man is laying dead right next to him and Arthur has blood on his face. He lets him go because he was nice to him, but he still tries to scare him when he walks past, showing a whimsical attitude towards death. When Garrity and Burke are attacked, he just lifts his mask and dances in front of them smugly while they’re piled on by rioters. After he kills Murray, he shoots him again for sh*ts and giggles before tossing the gun on the desk and dancing up to steal Murray’s catchphrase.
With the path that Arthur is on by the end of the movie, there is no doubt that he will become the recognizable sociopathic Joker.

Arthur Fleck, later known as the Joker, is a failed comedian who, following his great lack of success and respect, loses his mental stability until he becomes a nihilistic, sociopathic killer calling himself Joker, aiming himself to make Gotham smile in his way.
The protagonist, Arthur Fleck, is an impoverished, lonely young adult in his late thirties, living with his mother, taking care of her, and striving to succeed as a stand-up comedian in Gotham City during 1981. The city is overruled by crime and unemployment.
Very High Intelligence: Arthur was endowed with exceptional intelligence, so wise and sophisticated that even though he did not know how to handle the Clowns anarchy around him, he still adapted enough to control them.

Mad Love introduces Harley Quinn as a former psychologist named Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with the Joker during her internship at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum and details her transformation into the Joker's villainous accomplice Harley Quinn, as well as the Joker's lack of respect for Harley.
So what exactly is Joker's Personality? According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Joker's character would likely be classified as an ENTP (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving) personality type. This personality type is known for being charismatic, clever, and quick-witted.
Pseudobulbar affect (PBA), or emotional incontinence, is a type of neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable episodes of crying or laughing. PBA occurs secondary to a neurologic disorder or brain injury.
The psychopathology Arthur exhibits is unclear, preventing diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia; the unusual combination of symptoms suggests a complex mix of features of certain personality traits, namely psychopathy and narcissism (he meets DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder).
After analyzing Arthur's personality traits and behaviors, it is likely that he falls under the Enneagram Type Eight, also known as the "Challenger." This type is characterized by a need for control, assertiveness, and a desire for power and influence.
