Kim Sungkyu (INFINITE) MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Kim Sungkyu (INFINITE)? Kim Sungkyu (INFINITE) is an ISTJ personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - sp/sx - in Enneagram, in Big 5, SLI in Socionics.
I went and watched a bunch of Sunggyu videos to make sure I wasn't remembering him wrong, lol. It's just been a while. It was fun though because I missed him! With that being said, I have to disagree with the ISTP votes; I don't think he is a Ti-dom. Sunggyu's Te is very obvious and apparent, to a point where many have typed him as ESTJ in the past, and the descriptions he strongly agreed with in his ISTJ result were those that are often correlated with the Te-Fi axis (e.g., a strong desire and need for efficiency, distaste towards having to rely on others for help, preference for factual evidence over anything else, etc.). He loves having control over things and is sometimes even viewed as being bossy. As for his Si, Sunggyu sucks at improvising, which is something that SP types excel at. He sucks at "winging" things, which is why most of his variety show appearances involve him being flustered over unplanned situations and his co-stars and/or members actively teasing him for it. He doesn't like being impulsive, unless he's egged on by the more spontaneous members like Dongwoo and Sungyeol. Also, Sunggyu THRIVES on the Korean social hierarchy; he loves being respected by those younger than him while being an absolute master at making those older than him feel like they are of importance and admired. It is one of the big reasons why he is loved by his seniors in the industry. Compare him with Dongwoo, who is way more lenient with how the younger members treat him; some of them even call him by a nickname sometimes without the "hyung" title and he doesn't even care. Lastly, Sunggyu and Dongwoo's relationship dynamic is literally an SJ parent trying to understand and control their chaotic Ne-dom child, lol. Sunggyu often stares at Dongwoo like he can't believe they are of the same species; he is fascinated by Dongwoo because they are just so different. (My ISFJ dad also gives me the same look sometimes... 😂) That one clip of Sunggyu shushing Dongwoo basically sums them up, LMAO. (Here is the clip: https://youtu.be/sPiDXQdu4lc?t=47) Anyways, these are just my thoughts! Feel free to add or subtract; I'd love to know what everyone else thinks! + Additional argument from a reply I have down below: On Like Likes Like, Sunggyu tested to be an ISTP (a test based on four dichotomies, as always), but regardless of his type, the mental health professionals mentioned on the show that Sunggyu's most natural temperament is that he's highly risk-averse. If given a situation, they said he fears and worries about things going wrong very first thing, to which he strongly agreed. They also said that he has a clear sense of purpose and feels a big responsibility of having to meet said goals he's set for himself, to which he also strongly agreed. Neither of these sound SP to me; they sound much more like SJ temperament.
