Park Sae-Ro-Yi MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Park Sae-Ro-Yi? Park Sae-Ro-Yi is an INFJ personality type in MBTI, 1w2 - so/sp - 162 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, ESI in Socionics.
He has a good mindset and analyzed things well for his career in becoming CEO and help people in his life. I think he's an obvious INFJ bc he often love to ponder meanings, what people's own words mean to them and he uses Ti whenever he wants to understand what's happening at the present (Se). When others were being unhealthy and was misguided by mostly their Fi (Seong-Kwon (ESTP), Yi-Seo (ENTx), Geon-Soo (INFP) etc.), Sae-Ro often tried to help them understand what they're doing wrong and how they affect themselves and others. He knew they were wrong bc his Ni picked up the meaning behind it and use Fe+Ti to understands things further after questioning them and give insights from his perspective. I don't know how an ISFP would handle this, but an INFJ 1w2 like him would often do this for social harmony (good usage of Fe). They may seem nosy, but he'd help them find their ways. Jumping to random start: EP4: he had a philosophical discussion with Seong-Kwon about using our time to things we care about. Sae-Ro Yi was reading a book and told him he desired to learn many things that can become useful later for his business. When Seong-Kwon asked him if they're worthy enough to do anything in life as an ex-convict, he used obvious INFJ signs here what the meaning of his life is. Ni doms always ask philosophical/hypothetical questions too. Ni+fe: INFJs always like to hear other people's perspective, and I barely know any ISFPs who'd have such a discussion. Furthermore in the episode (the bathroom scene), Sae-Ro wondered what Yi-Seo's swollen cheeks meant and how it became like that. The person who slapped her cheek told a lie that there was a small accident, but Sae-Ro did not believe him and asked Yi-Seo for her perspective and what her meaning of "nosy" meant. He remembered when both of them were in a similar situation in the past when she called him nosy after getting himself involved (Fe+Si+Ni). After that, him and Yi-Seo had more philosophical discussion that helped them understand things more. INFJs usually question people what they're doing in life, which oftentimes make them wonder too (INFJs dissect people's minds) EP 8: Him and Dae-Hee had a discussion about power and business. Sae-Ro's answer sounded very Fe because he said he doesn't hire people to gain self-esteem like the way Dae-Hee does. Their trust gives him strength, he said. Dae-Hee use people for his own self-esteem and take over their achievements (Te vs Fe; type 8 vs 1). Later Sae-Ro wanted to understand what truly made Geon-Soo upset, so they had a private discussion to make him feel better and to understand him more (NiFeTiSe). He also cheered up Tony by spray painting the club house they went to because they were unfairly racist (FeSe). Later, Sae-Ro and Yi-Seo had an argument about him having no realistic alternative as well. If he was an ISFP, he might go into a loop (Fi-Ni) that makes him fear for the future outcome and doubt himself, but he didn't cause although he did doubt himself for a sec (bc some people questioned his decision/Ni), used Te to make a logical decision of buying a building after Dae-Hee bought their pub, and this was his way of using Se to have an realistic altern. BUT this can also be ISFP Te usage. After that, he got fed up with Yi-Seo and went Ni-Ti loop because she has been mistreating everyone. After trying to understand her reasoning for firing Geun-Soo (NiFeTi), he lost his patience and took her name tag off because she was again, mistreating them so he was being cold towards her. EP 12: Yi-Seo mistreated Hyun-Yi for being a transgender and said this could ruin their business. Sae-Ro didn't care about such thing, what only mattered was how she feels with the world. He also cheered her up and boosted her self-esteem on how to deal with the public and herself when they were in the middle of live, and after that, he said in his mind that he wants to create a business for his people as well, and this tells us he's imagining the big picture (Ni). Every episode, I always see him as an INFJ 1w2, and I didn't skip on other eps cause they didn't show INFJ functions, I just choose ones that had symbolic meaning in certain scenes that stood out to me most when I used to watch this show. In general, INFJs have a deep, introspective, mind and personality who often ponder the meaning of words and symbolic things that affects everything. They use Ti to comprehend Ni. Ni doms are perceivers who gathers intel based on their surroundings (Se), wonder what they all mean and form a conclusion after Ti/Fe usage. ISFPs make decisions that are realistic while INFJs do do that sometimes (due to Ti), but they're more idealistic; they imagine the big picture without much details like an ISFP would.
