<Do I Like This—Or Was I Made Like This?>
- What I Like vs. How I Function
“I enjoy being around people.”
“I recharge best when I’m alone.”
These kinds of statements sound familiar. We often describe ourselves based on what feels good or comfortable. MBTI is built around this idea of preference.
But sometimes, strange moments arrive:
“I’ve always been social, but lately I prefer solitude.”
“I used to love planning, but now I just go with the flow.”
Does that mean you’ve changed? Or is the current rhythm around you shifting?
- MBTI Finds the Familiar / K-Saju Finds the Energy Composition
MBTI analyzes how we think, connect, and decide—through the lens of familiar patterns and repeated behaviors.
K-Saju asks a different question: “What are you made of?”
At the heart of K-Saju is Wonguk (원국: won-guk)—your natal energy blueprint. It’s like a personal map made from the Five Elements and the Sipshin roles.
• If Output is strong, expression and creation feel natural.
• If Wealth dominates, drive and pursuit of goals become central.
Where MBTI says “This is the type of energy you prefer,”
K-Saju says, “This is the type of energy you’re built from.”
- Preference Shifts, Structure Reacts
MBTI helps define a sense of stable identity.
But in life, preferences can shift. The thing you once loved doing might now feel heavy. Something you used to avoid might now bring comfort.
K-Saju responds with a question:
“How is your energy blueprint meeting the energy of this moment?”
For example, if your base chart leans toward extroversion, but you’re currently under a strong Metal (judgment, restraint) influence, you might find yourself quieter or more withdrawn.
It’s not that you’ve changed—it’s that the flow around you is pressing differently on the structure within you.
- The Choice That Feels More Natural Right Now
K-Saju would say:
“Your emotions right now don’t define you—they reflect how your current flow meets your internal structure.”
It reads the moment:
Which choice feels less burdensome?
Which direction feels more aligned right now?
We may not always have full freedom in our choices—but when we understand the flow and how we’re built, we begin to sense the direction that feels gentler, more true.
That’s Agency within Flow—the ability to choose what fits you in this moment, without forcing it.It’s like floating down a river and finding the path with the least resistance.
- When Liking Something Isn’t Quite Enough
MBTI shows you the direction you tend to like.
K-Saju shows you the direction that currently functions.
And in that gap, we often find ourselves asking:
“Do I really like this—or is this just what works for me right now?”
K-Saju answers,
“This is where the energy is flowing now.”
Preferences and structure—they’re both riding the current of timing.
