No one? Ok. My turn + Extraverted Sensing: Massive GigaChad energy. Pre-Olympic: He was willing to take uncalculated risk (smash even in difficult position, put high pressure on the opponents and adapt to almost any situation in the field). Often got hefty rewards for it. he is abrasive and loud (big gestures, bombastic behavior on- and off-court), extremely physical and on the moment. (The reason I don't put him on introverted sensing is because he doesn't have any sense of caution when approaching his play, at least when he was young. If he has Si, he would play it stiff and methodical, take Chen Long as an example). Also, very flirtatious (his affair with another Chinese celebrity) + Introverted Thinking: His approach is simple and effective, in his logical standpoint. He needs to attack harder, faster, stronger. (ofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/badminton/you-cant-have-just-one-strate), in each game, he will adapt his play based on the situation at hand (Ti to support Se), which makes him very unpredictable. When he got old, he adapt his play according to his age (less smash, more clear and drop) + Extraverted Feeling: He is emotionally explosive, very childish when young (He hit his coach, throw his rackets twice, once in Malaysia Open when he lost to Lee Chong Wei and one to Li Mao when Lin Dan had a fuss with him, flirt with his wife even with her initial disapproval). I initially thought he has Fi) + Introverted Intuition: This is his apparent weakness both in- and off-court. His explosive style could place him in too much risk (Chen Hong in all England final defused his offensive play by defusing his smash), overtime, he learned to play his game smart by playing clear and drop more as he gets older. When off-court, his affair cause controversy among China. His great use of Extraverted Sensing and Introverted Thinking is what makes him the Greatest of All Time. While his childish use of Fe and Ni makes him susceptible to unforeseen consequence.
