Yuri Plisetsky MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Yuri Plisetsky? Yuri Plisetsky is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sp/sx - 386 in Enneagram, RLOEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.
We finally made him 3w4, thank goodness! Brash, confident, and incredibly goal-oriented Te-dom who thinks he's the best (because, well, he is the best in his age group), but has to reevaluate his worldview after losing to Yuri Katsuki, as his formula for achieving success is invalidated. Though his program was more technical (and he had believed for most of his life that technique was all that mattered, doing hard jumps at a young age even when his coach tells him not to), he lost because he couldn't tap into conveying his emotions during his performance. The nature of the sport forces him to self-reflect on what he most deeply values via his inferior Fi, which helps him identify the inspiration for his skating--his grandfather. After his loss against Yuri K., he also calms down quite a bit and taps into his Ni more. Also a good representation of just how impulsive young ENTJs can be, especially SLE ones. The boy literally fights everyone, (jump)kicks people, throws stuff in rage, flies to another country without telling his coach, follows his friend to a club, changes his exhibition program at Grand Prix Finals on a whim, etc. Just goes to show you that tertiary Se can have a huge impact on an ENTJ's cognition in making them more reactive to present stimuli. Especially when pissed off. Actually reminds me a ton of Bakugo (in personality, relationships with fellow characters, and even life lessons he learns through interactions with them), though *his* type is quite a controversial topic... All in all one of my favorite characters, especially since Yuri declared his goal and then actually followed through with it. I aspire to possess that level of dedication and focus in my own athletic career :D ======== An edit on why sx 4 doesn’t fit him, since this was brought up, based on Naranjo’s writing himself, if people are hell bent on subtyping claiming Naranjo but refuse to read the source material: Basis of a 4 again: “Though an understandable reaction to early frustration and deprivation, envy constitutes a self-frustrating factor in the psyche, for the excessive craving for love that it entails never answers the *chronic sense of inner scarcity and badness, but on the contrary, stimulates further frustration and pain*.” More from the source material: “ Poor Self-image The most striking of traits from the point of view of the number of descriptors in it is that which conveys a poor self-concept. Included among the specific characteristics are not only “poor self-image” itself, but others such as “feeling inadequate,” “prone to shame,” “sense of ridicule,” “feeling unintelligent,” “ugly,” “repulsive,” “rotten,” “poisonous” and so on. *Even though I have chosen to speak of “bad self-image” as a separately (thus echoing the appearance of an independent conceptual cluster of descriptors) it is impossible to dissociate the phenomenon of envy from this bad self-image, which object relations theorists interpret as the consequence of the introjection of a “bad object.” It is such self-denigration that creates the “hole” out of which arises the voracity of envy proper in its clinging, demanding, biting, dependent, over attached manifestations.”* • Tell me how, at any point, Yuri has this sort of intrinsically bad self-image which drives his envy? He’s just competitive and image-driven, as the 3 is described to be, very competency oriented as a whole. No, losing to your rival doesn’t count as a factor, Yuri’s been a golden child for most of his life that he didn’t even have a rival in the first place before.
Biography
Yuri is a very ambitious boy who is determined to become the best of the best in figure skating. Contrary to his beauty and grace on the ice, once Yuri steps out of the rink he becomes foul-mouthed, rude, and dismissive of othersーearning him his second nickname, the Russian Punk. To ensure he gets what he wants, Yuri is not above threatening or intimidating his competition. He is short-tempered and very accustomed to yelling. Yuri is both very critical of himself and determined to impress Victor. He despises being underestimated and projects a strong air of confidenceーstrong enough to come across as arrogance instead. He is prone to seeing other athletes as his rivals, and therefore his enemies. While Yuri has been noted to not take training seriously at first, he can undertake highly rigorous training to do well, and does so without complaining. A softer side to Yuri's personality can be seen when he thinks of his grandfather and to the few people he regards as friends.
