Michelle Visage MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Michelle Visage? Michelle Visage is an ESTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - so/sx - in Enneagram, SCOEN in Big 5, LSE in Socionics.
michelle is not an 8, no way. aside from 8 core only being viable for se dom (and michelle doesn't have any se 💀), she just isn't an 8. 8s seek out conflict unnecessarily, they seek out danger for a temporary thrill which is what makes them so connected to se. they are also extremely reactive and often take challenges from others very seriously as they are normally seen as attacks on themselves or loved ones. michelle is nothing like the description i just mentioned - to me she is the epitome of a 1. she sees the queens as things to be 'fixed', and in her mind there appears to be a standard of perfection that she judges the queens against. she's also way too professional for an 8; off the show she is quite congenial with the queens and only judges them because that's her job. if she were an 8, she would be way harsher towards the queens and would probably make low blows as 8s want to appear dominant rather than rational. i think 1+3 double combo (competency) makes more sense than 3+8 double combo (assertion) since michelle doesn't seem to care about coming off a certain way to the queens, and instead acts more like an inspector who is seeking high standards which manifests as competency in the queens - this is clear in the shakespeare challenge where she seems disgusted by jasmine's performance as it shows incompetence; if she were an 8 she'd be taking joy in it as she could assert herself over the queens but she genuinely seemed disappointed because it caused the performance to be imperfect. as a 1, she is definitely a social 1 as she enforces her own standards of 'drag pefection' onto the queens. i think she could either be sp or sx as the secondary variant but i'm leaning more towards so/sx as it embodies the 'nitpickiness' that works well with si, as well as the desire for individuals (rather than groups) to follow rules, which works with her fi (rather than fe). 3 fix, as i mentioned before, is quite clear due to the double competency combo as well as the workaholic attitude that michelle tends to push. i think 6 fix works well with her si as well. obviously i think that she is a sensing type, as she shows little to no ni in her judging. yes, the show is about america's NEXT drag superstar, however ru (ni aux) seems more focussed on that. michelle's judging is (at least earlier on) rooted in tradition as she forces a narrative that drag must be feminine, a stereotype that is seen as conservative in the drag scene due to it being traditional. this is seen in seasons 5 and 6, where she pretty much clutches her pearls at alaska and milk doing 'boy drag'. although she has worked on this, she still seems reluctant to drop the idea of feminine, glamourous drag being the highest standard in her mind which is very uncharacteristic of an ni user. also, i don't think SLE fits her because her fi is too developed to be PoLR. i think LSI fits her better with ne PoLR since she seems hesitant of alternative drag and ideas that don't fit her rigid standards of drag. she also doesn't seem gregarious enough to be se base, i think she's more methodical (ti) over social and high energy (se). big five is pretty spot on, though i probably wouldn't label her as inquizitive. i think sang-chol fits her as well.
