KBS The Unit MBTI

in this post i will describe ni by simply polarizing si:

Where Si is detailed, Ni is abstract. Where Si is rounded, Ni is angular. Where Si is cozy, Ni is cool. Where Si is organic and realistic, Ni is synthetic and conceptual. Where Si is traditional, Ni is modern and futuristic. Where Si is layered and rich, Ni is stripped and bare. Where Si is harmonious and predictable, Ni is stark and surprising. Where Si is nurturing and familiar, Ni is detached and novel. Where Si is continuous and flowing, Ni is discrete and segmented. Where Si is comforting and whole, Ni is unsettling and fragmented. Where Si is textured, Ni is smooth. Where Si is curved and natural, Ni is linear and artificial. Where Si flows naturally, Ni snaps into place. Where Si evokes fullness, Ni evokes voids.

uuh boy i gonna open a wasp’s nest here but i don’t trust any k-pop celebrity typings because a) i’m assuming most of them had plastic surgery and b) are all pressed into cookie cutter tropes by their management making their “personalities” about as genuine as any actor’s job and c) i’m boring white toast and not experienced enough to analyze asian faces

those caveats aside, that’s the same guy right? those are super obvious Se-eyes and those pics where it doesn’t seem like it are all either heavily overexposed or clearly photoshopped so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Be wary if a site says it will reveal answers such as the best job for you, the type you should marry, or the type of employees you should hire.

Be wary of a site that says or implies some types are better, healthier, or more desirable in any way than others.

Be wary of a site that presents type preferences as skills, ability, or indicators of mental health or illness.

Be wary if a site advocates the use of psychological type as a way of putting people at a disadvantage or manipulating them.

Be wary if a site insinuates that its organization or instrument is the only way to learn one’s psychological type.

Be wary of a site that presents type preferences as fixed behaviors or stereotypes that do not vary among individuals or insinuates that type explains everything about an individual.

Be wary of a site that says MBTI results are infallible—that the type shown by the Indicator is always the best-fit type.

Hangyul (IM) – ESTP

Cognitive Functional Stack:  Se Ti Fe Ni

Hangyul is a great dude, who is all about living in the present.  He makes the most of every performance and latches on to the positive things about each moment (Se).  He has a go-with-the-flow attitude, trusting that with hard work and practise, things will work out in the end, even when he is injured.  He stays pretty chill most of the time in spite of being in an intense competition (Se-Ti) and just enjoys all the performances without worrying what other people’s performances mean for himself.  This can be seen when he is regularly used as the facial reaction to his fellow competitors’ performances, and for instance, the way he grooved along to the Kingsman/That’s what I like team’s dance performance behind the scenes even though they were direct rivals.   He takes events at face value (Se) but can interpret them negatively later (inferior Ni) like when he later worries about not being able to give a good performance of All Day due to his leg injury.

He doesn’t waste words and is a direct talker – also a direct squabbler if he is with Dongmyeong! However he can be charming, understanding, and persuasive if he needs/wants to be (Ti-Fe).  He is a bit of a lad with other people and is willing to mess around a bit but in a straightforward kind of way, like with hand clapping games, rather than anything particularly “out there”.  He doesn’t really place an emphasis on noticing his team’s emotions but is there for anyone if they make it clear they need him.

He’s confident in his looks without being boastful;  when his team declare themselves the “Handsome boys” he accepts it automatically (Se-Ti). A funny moment is when he’s asked to do sit-ups but then proceeds to show his 8-pack instead, showing that he is direct and sees that there’s no point in work without purpose.  He’s image-conscious, but logical about it (Se-Ti).

Emotionally he can be straightforward and blunt or to the point with no added frills or “what ifs”. The best example of this is when he is talking about how his birth parents abandoned him.  He states it as a clear story without coloured elaboration (Se) and then says, “they must have had a reason to abandon me,” very simply, showing that he has given his birth parents the benefit of the doubt that they weren’t acting maliciously (Fe) and his Ti internally coming to this logical conclusion without needing to ask any further questions.  He doesn’t turn it into a sob story about ~how dreadful his life was~ (which would be Fi) but just states the facts with a little dose of empathetic understanding.  Although he says, “I always wondered why I was abandoned”, he doesn’t take the Ne-route into delving into the possibilities of “why” and makes it clear that that wondering was in the past.  He’s moved on now.  His Se ensures that he doesn’t colour/romanticise the past into something that it really wasn’t.

Nonetheless, he’s very grateful to his adoptive parents, who have since provided him with a lot, and therefore has drive to do well in this competition to “pay them back” for their hard work: “I need to work hard to pay back all the people who took care of me until now.  I’m going to make sure I do that.”  Very straightforward.  He has a desire to be liked and appreciated by others.  Compliments make him bashful – he’s not overly sure how to handle his emotional responses at that point.

He’s a go-getter who’s done very well in this competition.  He enjoys life to the full and is a pleasure to watch on stage, where he has been known to transform into a “beast”.  Good luck Hangyul, the ESTP!
