Cristina Yang MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Cristina Yang? Cristina Yang is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 3w4 - sp/sx - 358 in Enneagram, RCOEN in Big 5, LIE in Socionics.
Introverted Intuition (Ni): To everyone around her, Cristina is a risk taker. They have scolded her before for thinking she can do it all and jumping into situations head on. What they don’t understand is that it isn’t a risk to her. She knows how it will happen, and she has confidence she’ll be able to do anything she’s set her mind too. When confronted about a “big surgical risk” her response is literally “There was no risk, I knew how to do the operation and I did it. Why is everyone freaking out?” Cristina is also very driven and has a high amount of self-confidence, she knows what she wants to be from the very beginning: A great surgeon. And, not surprisingly, she does just that. She has her vision for her life and doesn’t let anyone, Owens wishes or anything, like her dyslexia, stand in her way. Extroverted Thinking (Te): Cristina Yang is all about getting things done at the highest level of excellence possible. When performing a procedure she runs through the steps almost robotically, leaving no room for error. She wants things perfect and accepts nothing less, a problem she runs into quickly with her relationships. Cristina always seems to find a guy too hung up on tradition and things she doesn’t want. When she was with Burke, she gave him control and almost lost herself. After he left, she was sad, yes, but also relived. She realized that in order to live her life happily, she had to be in control and do what she needed to do. Internal Feeling (Fi): Cristina is supposed to be heartless. She makes sassy, rude comments to those around her, can’t stand children, and is career obsessed. However, it becomes clear throughout the show that this heart surgeon is anything but heartless. Yes, she makes her decisions based first on rationality and logic, but underneath that beats a very warm heart. We see glimpses of it through her relationship with Owen and friendship with Meredith. The way she comforts them both and puts their needs before her own. Owen wants kids and she doesn’t, but she wants to be with him. Instead they break up and she agrees to this for him and his future. Not a lot of emotional conversations, but actions supported her inner morals and beliefs. Extroverted Sensing (Se): Cristina’s biggest example of Se is her thrill of the cut. She gets such a high on doing surgery that it feeds her Ni enough for her to literally live off of it. Her Se manifests in other small ways as well, like through her old motorcycle and what a mess she is at home and with her locker. There are just some areas of Cristina’s life that don’t have to be perfect. Every thing else though (job, mind, relationships) must be planned, ordered, efficient, and completely perfect. Also as she grows and matures, Cristina falls out of some of these Se habits she exhibits.
