The Running Man 2025 - Ben Richards typology

Ben Richards: ISFP sp/sx core 8 864

Why ISFP?
He shows high Se and grounds himself in reality. He also indicates high Fi by keeping his feelings to himself. He has tertiary Ni, which can analyze the future and choose the best possible outcome. He doesn’t seem to think very logically, so his Te is inferior.

Why sp/sx?
He is entirely unaware of his social surroundings and often angers the community. He struggles to understand why society and its system work like this at times. He also frequently misunderstands how the community views him and how he can improve. This is shown in his making a speech about how angry he is, not realizing the community could take it the wrong way. He gets confused about the black family who helped him out, as the mother was extremely shocked by his recklessness, as she knows the hunters will want to hunt him down as soon as possible.

Why core 8?
Core 8s embrace their anger, hence they express it freely to others. Ben Richards has shown multiple times and was even called the angriest man on the Running Man Show; therefore, he seems like an obvious e8. He does whatever he wants with no hesitation and fears being hurt above everything else. He also desires his autonomy above all, and he becomes really aggressive if anyone dares to threaten him.

Why 864?
6 fix because neither 5 nor 7 makes sense as he is often afraid of not being able to protect his family and wants his family and himself to be secure. 4 fix because he is obviously and clearly triple reactive. He is the Image-last because he doesn't care about his image at all.
