Let's type famous people!

[Ink]

I'll start with some very well-known people with lots of video material on the web we can use for arguments... Here we go:

David letterman: ESTJ
Oprah winfrey: ENFJ
Jimmy kimmel: ESTP
Jay leno: ESTP
Craig ferguson: ENFP
Jon stewart: ENTP
Conan o'brien: ENFP
Howard stern: ENTP
Ellen degenerees: ESTP

Don't watch enough of these shows to have much of an idea on their types.

I'd agree on Oprah and Jon Stewart. (Stewart may be a J)

Also, with these types of TV personalities, I'd say it's almost irrelevant to guess at I/E, as their jobs require more of an E persona and for all we know they could be Is that are just very good at appearing E

I think an I would get burnt out very quickly working in a job like this, I do believe all of them are true E's though

Let's not.

Spoiler

Letterman is an ENTP though.

Dave and Ellen are wrong and Craig, Conan, and Jay may be one letter off.

I'd agree on Oprah and Jon Stewart.

From what I can discern, those two calls are the most well-founded.

Okay guys, you disappoint me, as INTPs you should be able to form arguments... Dave ENTP, are you fucking crazy?! INTP Lynch on letterman, Lynch constantly speaks in abstractions (N) and Dave always tries to bring it down to actualities (S), just an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xppCAqXehA

Ok, about Conan being ENFP, here's a clip with ENTP jeff goldblum (his fascination with inferior Si definitely shines through in this one), also highlights some differences between Fi-Te and Fe-Ti, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLjCM5UzSD4

You can see INTP andy richter chime in a little as well.

Meh, Te brings most things down to actualities. You're seeing a letter and not a function. Look at ISFPs - oftentimes abstract despite sensing because of tertiary Ni.

David Letterman also panders like it's going out of style. The audience is predominately sensing; ergo, Letterman is predominately sensing for the show's persona. By sensing I mean stupid.

Anyway, ESTJ is always confused with ENTJ because amateur typists mainly see the Te and discount the Ni (ENTJ) or Ne (ESTJ). You need to go deeper than the dominant function.

Also, most people pinpoint Ne faster than Ni in real people because Ne is "quirky," whatever the fuck that means. Just saying.

You disappoint me.

More seriously, though, do you have any evidence for these grandiose claims?!

So you are saying he is ENTJ? It is quite obvious he is Te-dom, but I do still believe he is si-ne over ni-se, okay another example with ENTJ clooney on the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX8H45bDupw

Letterman is constantly chiming in with Si details with clooney showing mild frustration to it since he's more focusing on the big picture of the story... (I have a similar relationship to my ISTP kin).

What other things make you believe letterman is an intuitive?

More seriously, though, do you have any evidence for these grandiose claims?!

I believe discussing this will show more about how we go about typing people, also make me feel I'm not writing an essay

It doesn't matter what type David Letterman happens to be.

Spoiler

Why the fuck am I still posting in this thread?!

No, that doesn't matter, what matters is how we all go about typing people so we can refine our own understanding!

 

[redbaron]

I just realised I called Dave an ENTP.

I meant ENTJ.

No. Typing people doesn't matter. Maybe to you, but you don't matter either.

Since you seem to be a pathetic negative lowlife I can understand if nothing matters to you, just read a few of your posts, how are you not banned yet`?

I don't know, I've been trying to get Fukyo to fess up for weeks!

You need to be persistent and hateful consistently enough against regular users and especially the moderators.

Long argumentative posts are the key to banhood.

ENTPs seem to get it right very often.

Being occasionally blunt doesn't get you banned.

So ENFP for Craig is pretty obvious, Larry King is a bit trickier though... I'm thinking ISTP (making them conflicting: http://www.socionics.com/rel/cnf.htm ), any other ideas?
