Ko Moon-Young MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Ko Moon-Young? Ko Moon-Young is an ENTJ personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sx/sp - 847 in Enneagram, SLOEI in Big 5, SLE in Socionics.
I think ENTJ is the best fit for her. I understand the POV of the arguments that say that her Fi doesn't seem to be that low since she has a job revolving around writing stories that reflect her trauma (linking it to her identity) and how she seems more vulnerable and emotional at times maybe? But I think there are some misunderstandings here and the way I perceive the character is different. When Moonyoung is in a stable state (not being reminded of her trauma or in a growth journey or whatever) we can see that she leads with Te. She is kind of direct to the point, rational, abrasive even; she sees something she wants, and she simply acts to get it, and in this act of hers I don't see any kind of value whatsoever. She comes from a rational place, and the things she wants are usually rather materialistic, lacking any sort of emotional attachment. I'd say that she is a bit detached from her Fi even, and Gangtae scolds her for her cold, selfish demeanor many times. About the identity stuff,,, do you think Moonyoung originally writes those stories because she wants to authentically express herself? I think that's like 30% of her motivation. In a stable state, she isn't that connected with her identity at all IMO. Think about the beginning of the series, she didn't care about her author identity at all and was mean to kids etc. It was just a way to make profit to her, so she can buy clothes and stuff lol. Also this drama's about Moonyoung's growth and overcoming trauma so she ends up facing them a lot at some point, and she has no one that cares for her in the beginning, she's alone. But even then it doesn't get to her too much, she's focused on her goal of making Gangtae "hers" in an apathetic way. But facing those traumas, being strangled by her father etc. leaves her vulnerable and makes her seem much more emotional than she is normally. And that's to be expected, you can't expect ENTJs to be rational masterminds at all times. I still see Te>Fi for her. And yeah, she has a decent Se but I don't really see it as a dom function, she isn't that spontaneous. Se is about sensing the world around you, being in the moment etc, does that make sense as her DOM function? I think not. Her primary focus is still at getting what she wants, which is more Te imo. As for Ni... You can observe it as it works with Se. I think her way of thought is Ni-ish in the end. You might ask me to specify a moment of Ni for her, and at that point admittedly it's been too long since I've seen the show, so I can't pinpoint it exactly. But I still find her style Ni-ish and think ENTJ is the best fit, for the reasons above. A final note, I think her Sociotype is SLE, which I'm more sure of than her mbti type. She can be naturally inconsiderate and is indifferent towards norms etc, which seems Fi PoLR, also her Se base is very into our face. She has a very powerful presence and knows how to be the "boss" lol. Villiany characters with a tiny bit of charisma are always so prone to be typed as EIE but I don't think it makes sense for her... +I think her being SLE contributes to her impulsiveness at times, and given that mbti is a very vague system I'd rather focus on her being SLE, and in that case ENTJ again would make more sense for her.
