What is Mike Shinoda’s Personality Type?
Mike Shinoda is an extroverted intuitive. He has a special duality to his mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity. As a function of this latter, he has a great sense of his fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, his advice is often sought. In material terms, it gives him a talent for locating lost objects and a spirit of discovery and invention. Overall, he welcomes the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incites them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy him, he has the ability to cheer himself up rapidly and is quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for him. It is up to him to renew himself, to behave in such a way as to drain his environment of fearsome or threatening aspects. He is usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within himself, he senses the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of his ideal and all his hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in his striving to free himself and his fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, he displays a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces he intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because he is quite sociable, the only thing he instinctively grasps profoundly is social action and organization. His perception of his own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, his grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide his unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, his fear of strong personalities. But he is above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of his spirit, and he is continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As he applies himself to ignoring whatever is impervious to his aspirations, he should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for him and the world. In relation to his ideal, he behaves realistically, although others are unable to perceive his realism because he expressed himself in such an unconventional and eccentric fashion. He is passionately committed to the quest and research he has initiated and will
Mike Shinoda wants to wield power and enjoy social prestige. He feels quite at home in the modern world others find frightening.
Mike Shinoda often lives in an imaginary world; the distant and abstract sometimes interests him more than what is right at hand and realistic.
At the time of your birth, your sun sign was located in Gemini (the Twins), while the sun was passing through the sign of Aquarius (the Water-Bearer). Both signs are ruled by the element air, which augurs a certain cohesion for your personality. A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide your personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of your character and indicate certain contradictions which may create tension:
Need for contact – Independence – Mental agitation – Rebelliousness – Frivolity – Originality – Dilettantism – Fluctuation – Communication – Inventiveness – Inner duality – Sense of paradox.
You are likely to be colorful and extremely unconventional. Eccentric to an extreme, you enjoy the unheard-of and the outrageous. You are liable to take pleasure in switching sides in the middle of a discussion and adore proclaiming contradictory certainties to a baffled but appreciative audience. Your extremely lively mind and brilliant, original sense of humor and verve make you a great social success. You are memorable. Inspired by humanistic and generous ideals, you are in continual rebellion against the constraints and conventions of society and the unfairness and discrimination they lead to. You draw vital energy from your freedom, and if forced to comply with authority or discipline, you are likely to feel frustrated.
With the advent of maturity, however, you should be more comfortable with your personal choices and find it easier to make compromises to convention. Your aptitude for exploration and discovery, as well as your abilities to improvise and innovate, will then find fields in which to flourish. Once you settle down, you could be successful in many careers: communication, teaching, psychology, sociology, graphic arts, etc.
Born in the seven to ten days after the full moon rose, you are of the “last quarter” lunar type. As a result, your personality is fairly independent and self-sufficient. Your ideas are original and often bold, but, to your dismay, do not often garner a majority of followers. Your sense of humor is your best communications tool, but you often switch to a more severe tone which breaks your charm over your audience, and your methods do not always please the masses. Your lack of flexibility hinders your strategies and projects, and you would gain by developing your sense of diplomacy and tact. Although you are not unduly attached to success, because you are so used to being ahead of your time, your failures take a psychological toll on you. Because each setback wears you down a little more, you should try to avoid further disappointments by conforming to contemporary reality a little more closely.
