Brad Pitt INFJ? what are you on Podlair?

[Ink]

You telling me Pitt isn't an ISFP?

 

[own8ge]

Yeah, INFJ. Why would you think ISFP? Do you know male ISFPs? To my knowledge, they are nothing like >Brad Pitt<

 

[Ink]

Ok, INFJ is possible I guess... (for some reason he reminded me of my ISFP dad(no they dont look a like)) With ESTP Jolie partner? Or is she the ISFP?!

 

[own8ge]

ISFP is possible too, what personality type some1 is, is kinda an opinion.

Jolie Partner, erm.. who's that?

 

[Ink]

Anelina Jolie, watched them together in an interview... But I have very little experiences with INFJs, probably the least of all types, so I shouldn't go around typing them I suppose

edit: actually i've known a lot of INFJ lol... but Pitt can be whatever type he wants

 

[Cherry Cola]

just copy pasting the quotes of him from celebritytypes...

Pitt: "I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right. What's more important to me is being honest about who you are."
Pitt: "I trust actions. I don't put much trust in words."
Pitt: "My frustration with acting is that I can't do quite what music does. Music has its own language."
Pitt: "I go a little insane with [buying furniture]. It's my thing."
Pitt: "I've found that the best things always happen when you throw yourself into a situation and you don't know what you're doing. If you take too much control over it, it can become dank and moldy - no bubbles."
Pitt: "I am pretty much mush. ... I wish I could be tougher."


Introverted feeler and sounds very much like an S type. ISFP. Fits my general impression of him well enough as well.

 

[own8ge]

Yeswell. We are all stupid in the end. Whatever he may be, he is nothing. Human based classifications veto the classification to be objective. Or w/e. I'm just stupid too >.>

 

[Cherry Cola]

Meh, you're just not gonna find any INFJ who's morals work like this:

"I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right. What's more important to me is being honest about who you are."

INFJ's are system builders, they synthesize, analyze, and precise rather than go by what feels right, because they need to in order to feel comfortable, they rely on the solid foundation of their worldview.

An INFJ whom is aware of his own ignorant position whilst making the judgment isn't.

I'm an INFJ whom as of late only does what feels right. My type would thus rather be INFP. So to classify humans is just bullshit I think now. Or w/e.

Pod'Lair is cracked. I seriously doubt he is an INFJ. Remember these were the people that thought Einstein was also an INTP, but retracted (or dropped it) after I threw a fit. Supposedly the main members including Lyra are INFJ (which I doubt) so I think they are INFJ obsessed.

They have some insights that are worth incorporating into MBTI but their theory sucks on its own and I've dropped it.

 

[Cherry Cola]

@own8ge Forgive me but I remain quite sceptic regarding the whole thing

Nice to hear someone else say that Pod'Lair's readings are bleh, I looked through their lists of people and they seemed to think everyone was an INFJ and were generally not very accurate.

Not accurate in YOUR worldview. Aren't you an INFJ?
Anyhow. In their perspective it is accurate. In yours maybe not. Which is more objective? Well theirs obviously. Which contains more truth? No1. It's all a matter of opinion in the end.

 

[Cherry Cola]

You're just resorting to scepticism now :P

Yes we don't really know anything about anything for sure except that its something and that that something is.

But life becomes boring and progress stagnates if you let that little truth be your guide imo.

So you'd rather live in a lie and portray your opinions onto others whilst those opinions hold no objective truth? MBTI is an opinionated system. A system that differs per persona because we all make up a different biased system from our own understanding. Jung had a very INTP perspective on the phenomenon of typology whilst Pod'Lair has a very INFJ perspective on the phenomenon. Which is better? Well none. Just make up your own bias from as many biases you can lurk from. That is my advise

 

[Cherry Cola]

Their perspectives really don't seem different enough for me not to be able to judge them from my own MBTI point of view, to me Pod Lair is a deviation from MBTI much like Keirsey. How can I not judge them when their types are more or less the same except with different terms? Also I deem Jung an INFJ lol >.<

Furthermore, no I'd rather not live a lie, but what are the options? The boat is sailing even though it's not fully built, and always on the brink of being sunk down into the abyss, it's the only boat we've got and we'd die from idleness if we didn't use it, if ye get my gist.

INFJ is nucking futz.
Be strong. Don't give in.


Note: I would also think of type as a long-term thing. You can't read a 40-something year old guy on a few soundbites of what he says today, without taking into consideration the road he took to get there and where he started from. Some things will be indicative of his original state of being, some things will be things he learned along the way. If someone has actually been in the world rather than isolated, they will typically develop secondary preferences that enabled them to deal with situations and circumstances that were beyond the ability of their main preferences to deal with. That is why type reads get more complicated for people as they age, unless they been in life patterns where they were never stretched (and then their original preferences might just be very very extreme).

For type theories that are based on motivations, that kind of consideration is important.

Precisely, on all counts @Jennywocky

 

[Cherry Cola]

But what type is he then Jennie and Archie? Please I require more wisdoms

 

[Architect]

My wife and I analyzed him and Jolie once, let me think ... she had some good insight into that whole thing. I'll check in with her later, but I believe she pegged him as a F, XSFP likely. And I think he got a T with Jolie, which is a common dynamic with couples (T with F either in the male or female). She had some insight as to why the earlier girlfriend didn't work out - whatshername.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Oh Jennifer Anniston.. bah dont know her type. Watched a few interviews.... ESFP, ENFP? Seems very spontaenous and relaxed, says some pretty weird but strangely insightful things sometimes in the interviews... typically when she hesitates for a brief moment before speaking and drops eyecontact, I get the sense that she is like "oh no I cant put it out there in this raw form" and the goes like "fuck it" and does it anyway.

like here approximately 38 seconds in (she does it at the end of a question though, after having first answered in a more typical way all the while seeming progressively more frustrated. As if though listing things wasn't letting her put the finger on the nail and get her message across):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8RVEhmtm6g

Seems to spontaneous and yet concerned with getting her stuff across the way she wants it, ie extravertd perciever with internal judging? Get the sense that Brad would Bore her after a while and that she'd be to intense for poor mush Brad.

But omg now I feel like I have to know what your wife thought about the whole thing. I am in a hypomaniac state atm (started getting up and downs after beginning too take SSRI's a year ago) so I have zero patience with anything and my body feels buzzy.

Yeah, I don't care to spend hours research Brad Pitt to get a solid answer but based on what I've seen over the years, I'd say some kind of SFP too. even if we just want to break it down to the bare essentials of his typical working style, he seems to prefer to leave things open-ended so that he can respond to them in the moment, that sense of efficacy is important to him, and he seems able to capitalize on situations in the moment. And he's not into much bullshit N-style speculation, it's all earthy and tangible. So SP.

I would definitely say that Angelina has more focus/edge to her, which in MBTI would come from either a T or J factor. But I'd guess T before J for her.

I think he was forced into maintaining more privacy and being more of a homebody with Anniston, who's more low-key, to herself, more focused on stability. I think he was attracted to her goodness, but there was too much structure / energy conservation. Obviously since he went for Angelina, he's into someone more out there, more active, takes more risk -- the expression and expenditure of energy seems more tantalizing to him. I get the impression from various interviews that he felt confined in that relationship and limited. Jolie and he seem to share more similar energy styles.

 

[BigApplePi]

Is a new theory needed? What about a theory that uses experiencial current context as a background? Haven't applied myself to any of this: the thread people here seem to express a modest amount of uncertainty.

This AM I had two appointments. 10a was on how to raise chickens seminar. I went in rested, relaxed and fascinated. Sat near front, took in everything. I asked a lot of questions, typical extroverted behavior with only silent reflections. Small talk to people around me. So what type was I exhibiting? ExxP?

12n next. Wine tasting. First counter the extroversion carried over. I went on to more counters. Quickly powered down. Became confused, could no longer assert myself. (I spit out all wine tasted.) I had asked for previews so I could take notes, but lost the ability to request. Became exhausted, could no longer go on and quit. Walked over and sat in the car waiting for my wife. This is not ExxP. Was it IxxJ? I'm just not ready to type.

If you want to say INTP underlies today's experience, that's fine. But I wasn't INTP behaviorally at 10a.

 

[Analyzer]

Brad Pitt is classic ESTP...INFJ shadow

 

[Cherry Cola]

Why? He is too sensible.
