According to the Myers-Briggs type indicator assessment,
People fall into different personality types based on 4 preferences.
Either E- extroverted or I- introverted;
S- sensing, or N- intuitive;
T- thinking, or F- feeling;
or J- judging and P- perceiving.
It is said that there are some personality types that are really compatible,
whereas some are challenging opposites.
We decided to challenge this notion by putting it to the test.
We're sending 1 guy on 3 dates with 3 girls with different MBTI personalities.
One would be the most compatible,
one a potential complement,
and one a challenging opposite.
Will he pick the girl that is supposedly the best match to his personality?
Hi, my name is Bolin Chen and I'm 27 years old this year.
I'm a YouTube producer here at The Smart Local.
My friends always think of me as an outspoken person; one who dares to dream.
I do a lot of decision making based mostly on emotion.
I guess in this case it is very good because love is...
I'm about 65% nervous,
I'm literally not very ready but let's go.
My name is Jaime and I'm turning 24 this year.
I can say that I'm quite observant and detail-oriented.
And also probably empathetic.
I'm quite realistic and practical.
I like to banter with people like humour.
I don't really have any expectations, just have fun?
I'm Rina and I'm currently 21 this year.
I would say I am adventurous, adaptable and independent.
They normally think I'm outgoing but I'm actually very shy.
I think it might be awkward because I'm a very awkward person.
Hi, my name is Charlotte and I turned the big 2 like last year.
My friends would say I'm the loud one in the group.
I'm like the energizer, you know?
I'm always very impromptu.
I have never dated before.
I just hope he's tall!
Tall guys like short girls; short guys like short girls;
But tall girls get the cats.
Meow.
- Hi. - Hello.
- My name is Bolin. - Jaime.
-I heard that you chose this place. - Yeah, I did.
I guess you kinda like lobster.
- Yeah, I like seafood. - Me too.
Plus 1 already.
I think she is very well-spoken.
She smiles a lot; very confident and quite attractive.
First impression- he seems easy-going, he was nervous but was still a good person to talk to.
- Guess how old I am? - 26? 27?
Oh yeah. I'm 27. I guess that you are 22? Around there?
24. I'm 24 this year.
Do you prefer guys that are much older?
To me, maturity is more important.
So if the person is younger but is mature.
Because it doesn't mean that you're older means you're more mature and likewise.
Although she is 3 years younger than me, I felt like we are at the same age.
Because her maturity level is quite;
It's there.
So what are you doing?
I'm new in TSL, I'm a YouTube producer. What are you doing now?
I was previously doing university and I did it halfway but I recently applied to SPF.
- Wait Singapore Police Force? - Ya.
Oh so you're going to sign on SPF? - Wait Singapore Police Force? - Ya.
Oh so you're going to sign on SPF?
- If I get it la, if they want me. - Wow.
It's not easy to get in so I'm just managing my expectations.
Our food is here.
I take for you first because must be gentleman.
- Mmmm - Crispy on the outside but inside is soft and buttery.
So before we continue eating, let me choose a question from the question jar.
Is there something that you have dreamed of doing for a long time?
Why haven't you done it?
I guess I could say my SPF thing.
Because it was a childhood ambition.
Like when we were young we watch Crimewatch and think that's cool.
It just stuck and I think it is meaningful also.
I really respect people that follow through on their dreams.
And take heavy consideration of their passion.
I take one for you?
Damn hard to take.
Oh!
- It's alright... you tried. Thanks. - Sorry.
Can cut that part out?
When you try your best...
The lobster...
I cannot... I just. Oh my god...
If you can only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Boiled fish with broccoli.
- For the rest of your life? - Yes because there will be times I eat a lot and times where I have to diet what.
But if I have to choose one might as well choose the diet one so that I will always be healthy.
But you won't be happy!
Logical? Rational! But what about you?
I love noodles in general. Like my carbs.
This is the scale right. It's like noodles, bread then rice.
So I love ramen la.
I won't say we are entirely compatible.
Some of the personality sides are like mine.
There are few parts where we are a bit different.
He was awkward because he was being cautious of the little movements and what he says. There are few parts where we are a bit different.
He was awkward because he was being cautious of the little movements and what he says.
But I guess along the way he got more comfortable. He was awkward because he was being cautious of the little movements and what he says.

It was alright, it was alright.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Hi, my name is Bolin. - I'm Rina.
I'm 27 this year, how old are you?
I'm 21 this year.
Wow wow wow, okay okay.
I'll grab some questions... maybe you want to take one first?
I'll grab some questions maybe you want to take one first?
What is your first impression of me?
A bit fast ah! Actually the food hasn't come.
I think that you're very lovely and I thought I was nervous, but you're more nervous than me.
- I'm very awkward with new people. - Right...
I would say he's quite different from me.
I'm not sure if it's the age gap, he seems to be a little bit more outgoing.
For me, I like to stay at home and I'm more of a shy person.
What is your first impression of me?
Oh... quite tall. That was my first impression.
How tall do you think I am?
1.8m?
- Deh - Huh? Taller or shorter?
- Taller. - 1.9m?
- Taller? - Taller!
1.94m?
- Almost there! 5. - I think you're the tallest guy I've ever met.
It was pretty awkward at the start but I think things went pretty smoothly afterwards.
Is there something you have dreamed of doing for a long time?
I actually wanted to be a pilot.
- Wow! - But my 'O' Levels score wasn't that good so I couldn't make it to aerospace engineering.
So therefore I decided to pursue another goal in life.
- Wah this is good. It's really good. - Yeah, it's damn nice.
You think the microphone can hear me chewing?
I think so.
What would constitute a perfect vacation for you?
Anything that has got to do with nature.
Adventurous... And nature.
Oh but I love Taipei though!
Okay, I prefer adventure stuff but I really really love Taipei.
Fun fact: I studied in Taiwan for 1 year.
When she mentioned Taipei, I just told her that actually I studied in Taiwan for 1 year.
So I'm happy because this is a similar topic we can talk about.
Because she loves Taiwan and I love Taiwan as well.
I think we kinda can click a little bit.
Maybe it'll be better if we get to know each other more?
As we get to know each other more, the personality difference doesn't matter much.
Think we can click well but we just need more time.
So definitely will go out with her again.
- Hi. - Oh hi.
Oh he's very tall!
- Hi! I'm Charlotte. - I'm Bolin.
Bolin? You look like a Bolin.
Huh? How you know I look like a Bolin?
I don't know. It's just my thing.
Have you been on a date? Because I haven't.
Oh, in your whole life?
Technically... I didn't even know it was a date.
I thought it was a friendly thing.
- Right right right like a hangout. - Ya, so he walk me home.
And then after that he was like by the way you know this is a date right?
Then I just like... Bro what?
Oh you say "bro" ah? Wah sah!
- So how old are you? - 27.
- Oh my god... - What's with the?
- I feel like a baby! - Huh?
I'm gonna hit 21 in May.
Being my first time out I thought it would be very awkward but I like that he can continue the conversation and keep up, that kind of thing.
She's very chilll, she's very direct. Being my first time out I thought it would be very awkward but I like that he can continue the conversation and keep up, that kind of thing.
She's very chilll, she's very direct.
It's very easy to click with someone with this kind of personality for me.
Producers have prepared some questions so right now I'm gonna pick one, we can take turns to pick.
- Is this like burning bridges? - What's that by the way?
Err... It's a young people game.
Describe your perfect vacation.
Going to Japan and eating sushi everyday.
And then going to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea and Universal Studios Japan (USJ).
- Osaka? - Yes. Going to all the theme parks.
She might be a very easy-going person to travel with,
because she's not very picky and easy to handle.
- Yay! - Looks good, looks good.
(delicious mumblings)
If you can only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Let me guess yours... Sushi!
Close... No, sashimi.
Your friend just broke up with his/her partner, what would you do to help him/her get over it?
I'll try to be the listener.
I'm the guy that, if I have a close female friend;
Then her boyfriend cheated on her and broke up. I will intervene and go over to the guy and,
- Really like- - Whack him!
I don't use violence but how about you?
I will also listen, I don't want to talk too much.
Cause they are validated to feel that way.
Once they calm down then I will tell them let's go and punch the guy man!
- Will you really seriously go and punch? - I'm just kidding!
If you have a mutual friend and that mutual friend broke up;
Siao liao you know! We both go over "Oi! Wahlau eh!"
The sort of downside to having very very similiar personalities.
I think if we are both so similiar and emotional, it'll end in a very bad way.
If we fight right, nobody is going to give in, nobody is going to stop.
I definitely see him more as like a bro. It's definitely like super platonic.
We'll definitely meet again and go out again.
But I am pretty sure she will view me as a friend that can talk for a very long time rather than someone to date. We'll definitely meet again and go out again.
But I am pretty sure she will view me as a friend that can talk to for a very long time rather than someone to date.
To be honest, it is really a tough decision to make.
Because each of them has their own pros and cons.
In terms of their personality matching.
Wow it's damn hard!
Oh my god whoever I didn't choose please don't find me. Please ah!
I think my choice is Jaime.
She can talk, she's not as quiet and she loves a certain sense of maturity.
Passion and dreams that we can talk about and we can click quite well.
I think Jaime is the potential complement.
I won't say in terms of personality the best match.
(Producer) So basically she was your potential complement.
Potential complement which means the middle ground ah?
Oh that means I'm sort of right ah.
The moment we started having conversations together, I can feel that she might be the potential compatible one.
(Producer) He is actually your potential complement.
Guess I can get to know him better first as a friend and then hang out and see how things go?
Does personality matter? Yes it does!
But I truly believe that it depends on what you've been through with the person.
Whether you can click, whether you have similiar dreams and things to say;
I think do not just judge solely on personality.
I think if you truly want the relationship to have fruit, it is definitely very possible.
