Mion Sonozaki MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Mion Sonozaki? Mion Sonozaki is an ESFJ personality type in MBTI, 2w3 - so/sp - 827 in Enneagram, SCOAI in Big 5, ESE in Socionics.
I'll argue for social 8w9. "Eights manifest lust in the social arena by having many friends, often a network of friends who work and/or play together. They like to introduce friends to each other, make sure everyone enjoys life, and provide mutual support and protection in times of need. The drive underpinning this is a feeling of solidarity- mutual trust and loyalty." "The Social Eight countertype uses their power and influence in the service of others, making them appear Two-ish in their drive to support others rather than asserting their own needs. Sensitive to injustice and unfair social norms, they are loyal and protective and shield ‘their people’ from harm, unjust authority or abuse of power. Even though they prefer not to be too vulnerable, they invite and appreciate tough feedback from close allies." Healthy so-8s tend to mimic and integrate to 2s, so it makes sense that Mion would be mistyped as a 2, but I don't see the core fears/motivations of a 2 in her that much, nor do any of the 2 subtypes fit her. She also doesn't integrate to 4 or disintegrate to 8. I think she disintegrates to 5 when she gets the parasite because, when her sense of solidarity is in jeopardy, she starts analyzing everything around her to an abnormal extent. She always has a pack mentality, sense of solidarity, and servient nature. She seeks power and control to attain peace and stability (hence the 9 wing), not to be loved or feel as if she belongs. She didn't hesitate to pick fights with authority during the dam war to satisfy these so-8 desires. I'm not sure if she's so/sp or so/sx because she seems mostly so to me, but I'll go with so/sp because she is usually very tactful and lawful, which sx-8s have a ton of trouble with (I'm not just referring to laws in the legal sense; I also mean principles and regulations in general). Finally, I would say her temptation is thinking she is completely self-sufficient, not manipulation or denying her own needs. She is tempted to put up a tough, independent front, not deprive herself or manipulate others. She isn't prone to the 2's ego-fixation, flattery. But like an 8, she's prone to vengeance/objectification, which is evident in how she labeled the people who supported the dam project as the 'bad guys' and rallied people against them out of resentment/spite. That indicates her being in the gut triad too, since gut types are driven by anger. I don't see much shame (or fear) in her, in comparison. She's angry, but she uses that anger to satiate her social instinct, so it isn't as apparent. Lust > pride makes sense too. I'm not really seeing the pride, but the lust is mentioned in the first quote I cited. People tend to associate lust with malignant things, so I guess it's hard for most to spot it in someone like Mion, who manifests lust in different ways because she's a healthy 8 countertype.
