Extroverted (69%)
;how we interact with our environment
This all depends on the situation. Hanbin’s known to be semi-selective when it comes to interacting on a friendly basis. He’s not typically one to want many new friends or enjoys meeting too many new people. This was made known during the broadcast of “Mix & Match” when three possible members were added to the competition. Although, he’s somewhat broken from that shell, considering he’s in an industry where meeting new people is a daily routine. He thrives from the feeling of being with his fans and being on stage (this has been expressed in several interviews), which is where I see the extrovert being more so apart of his personality than introvert.
Intuitive (57%)
;where we direct our mental energy
I think being intuitive kind of came with earning the role of being iKON’s leader. I believe that’s a quality that every leader needs to possess and I do agree that Hanbin is intuitive. He’s had to make calls for not just himself but also for his team where he’s had to rely on his gut feeling as to prepare for any possible outcome. He’s very confident in the decisions he makes and believes strongly that if he feels it’s right it will be exactly that. It’s a trait that seems to come naturally for him.
Thinking (58%)
;make decisions and cope with emotions
Although Hanbin’s emotions can sometimes grab the better of him, for the sack of being a good leader for his team he focuses on the rational side before making a decision that could affect all of them. As the leader, Hanbin runs a lot of their practices and has often been a main choreographer behind their performances (especially during trainee days - WIN: Who Is Next - Mix & Match) and has to make decisions on who goes where and what moves can and can’t be executed correctly and safety.
Judging (64%)
;our approach to work, planning and decision-making
Hanbin’s a hard-ass when it comes to working/practicing. As revealed by members in their ‘Pops in Seoul’ interview, Hanbin has relaxed somewhat from when they were all trainees. He’s a person who believes in a routine, a set plan in order to reach what goals have been set. He’s someone who gets easily bored with himself if there is nothing to work towards. He enjoys having goals, having something to push towards. Creating a step-by-step plan, even if it’s just in his head, he likes to know how he can get there and spends the necessary time achieving it. There’s a thought process to everything he does as his decisions as iKON’s leader affect all of them.
Assertive (63%)
;how confident we are in our abilities and decisions
Hanbin is confident, through and through. He knows his strengths and how to capitalize on them, and is aware on what he needs to build on. His confidence is shown in a lot of things that he does. It’s something someone can tell just by his presence on stage. In various episodes of both WHO: Who is Next and Mix & Match, Hanbin’s quoted saying things such as “I know my team’s going to win. Because they have me.” His confidence stems from his ability to focus all his attention on one project, on one thing, and his drive to perfect it.
Pantone:“describe a person close to your life in detail.”

Moodboard: “do you feel you had a happy childhood?“
