Personality

What personality type is MyKayla Skinner? MyKayla Skinner is an ENFJ personality type in MBTI, 3w2 - sx/sp - 316 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, in Socionics.

“Anyone who has ever seen Skinner perform knows she’s far from a typical gymnast. While competing, MyKayla is usually stone-faced and emotionless, devoid of the bubbly personality and perpetual smile that is synonymous with competition gymnastics. Her post-routine celebrations on the other hand are high-energy and dramatic, a stark contrast to the usually prim and proper salutations given by decades of gymnasts before her. In any other sport, this approach would be revered as someone who is focused and competitive, but in gymnastics, icy veins only rub the old guard the wrong way, however labeling her aggressive style as a “bad attitude” seems antiquated and misogynistic; after all, a deeper look at Skinner’s past maybe justifies her edge.” This seems more NiSe in my opinion, and while a 4 wing can make a dominant 3 seem a bit “cooler”, “edgier”, or “elitist”, I would argue that she’s more of a 2. This is how she described herself in a 2015 interview. “Question - How would you describe your personality? Answer - Outgoing, fun, spontaneous, bubbly” I doubt someone with a 4 wing would say that because they’re naturally more withdrawn, and her supposed attitude could be amplified due to stress.
