Today we will compare the MindHub personalities of the Stereotypical Barbie and Barbie After the Coup in Universal’s 2023 film.

Barbie is having primary Ego as evidenced by confidence in the way she speaks to others. She is sure that everyone will come to her nightly parties, and others responses will be positive toward her. Boredom is also evident since she is doing things because she has nothing better to do. She is not intentional about her choices. Every person has three Primary Drives, and no fewer, Barbie has only two Drives, therefore, according to MindHub, Stereotypical Barbie is not a person.

Regarding Aims, Barbie starts with Community, because the other Barbies are the necessary social fabric for her life and the Barbies community clearly defines her role in Barbie Land. Her social role is basically a substitution for her personality. Strangely, she is not having Fun but she wants to have more of it. After Kens establish their regime, Barbie progresses toward full-on existential despair. She is overwhelmed by sadness and misses the old quote unquote normalcy, developing Regret. Paradoxically, Regret is what transforms her into a real person, because she now has three Drives.

After restoring the Barbies rule, Barbie feels her Aim Community accomplished and decides to move on with her life. However, having Drives without Aims is what MindHub describes as a child’s profile. Barbie is not sure what to do in the real world, and she has to figure it out as the next step in her development.

A brief note on Ken’s personality. He starts with only Ego in the MindHub Circle, flexing on the beach. His extremely strong Intimate aim carries
huge emotional risks. After failing in his goals with Barbie, he decides to focus on taking real world Hierarchy to Barbie Land. The final summation is that Barbie got a personality, and Ken did not. And that seems to be the real injustice of the story.
