Cenk Uygur (SLE): Personality Type Analysis

Cenk Kadir Uygur is the co-founder and lead host of the Youtube political commentary show 'The Young Turks', versions of which also appeared on TV channels at some point.

Uygur's shows alternate between fairly straightforward and factual discussions of current events (especially in the case of war or terrorism incidents) to highly opinionated analyses of the US political scene, to occasional comments on less-serious news (such as viral videos) to the "Final Judgment", where he lays down his (supposedly irrevocable) conclusions on a given subject.

Uygur shares the program with co-hosts who clearly share his core political, social and religious (i.e. atheist) views, debate or "dissent" mostly occurring around secondary points, and the shared assumptions serve as basis for jokes and indignation in an atmosphere of collective emotionality, in which he actively participates. That puts Uygur, who obviously sets the tone, squarely in a Merry quadra, that is, Alpha or Beta, with E and L as quadra values, probably with E stronger than E5.

Cenk himself is very comfortable digressing at length on when and how force and aggression should or not be used, both at individual and national level. That, and his obvious personal dominance of the others, strongly point to F as quadra value, i.e. to the Beta quadra, and as something that he feels very confident in, likely F1. Yet, Cenk's inclination to return to straightforward factual analyses (especially on his own) suggest P as comfortable for a Beta, as in P8.

Cenk Uygur's quadra values and visible functional ordering all point to SLE as his type.

Sources: this analysis was based exclusively on direct observations of his show, "The  Young Turks".

  1. Funny how his nephew, Hasan Piker (hasanabi), is also an SLE. Beta Quadra genes run in the family :PP

ILI - Intuitive Logical Integrator - "The Critic"

This is the profile for the Intuitive Logical Integrator (ILI). To see more type profiles, click here . Isaac Newton 1. Time The ILI is disposed towards inner reflections on the flow of events. Detaching from trivial concerns, ILIs turn their attention to the more important and far-reaching matters of life. Penetrating the misty vestiges of the past and future through depth of imagination, ILIs tend to synthesise for themselves a profoundly realist, neutral world view that can be perceived as 'bleak' or 'gloomy' by others. Such a world view is frequently in the form of a singular eventuality that current events will head towards given certain variables. For them, the present is only important in so much as it is the midway point between what has happened and what will happen, and that sometimes actions can be undertaken to change or alter that interaction, usually in the form of preventing stupidity that might lead to disaster later on. Often what is completely ...

EII - Ethical Intuitive Integrator - "The Counsellor"

This is the type profile for the Ethical Intuitive Integrator (EII). To see more type profiles, click here . J.K. Rowling 1. Relations Central to the EII are their personal sentiments or attitudes towards the people and events surrounding them and the demands of their conscience. The EII is in a persistent state of subjective evaluation, trying to assess how they feel. They tend to form attitudes based on their personal ideals of 'goodness' and then strive to act sincerely to these sentiments. When applied to behaviours and actions, this provides them with strong ideals of what is ‘decent’ of a person, and they tend to hold themselves to nearly quixotic standards. Often they may feel a sense of disappointment with their own actions, not living up to their potential. When applied to people, this promotes social selectivity, with EIIs being motivated to form close, meaningful and stable bonds with those they feel to be of a desirable character and avoiding those they ...
