Post your type, followed by brief examples of people saying you remind them of someone else. Preferably, it's someone that you actually remind them of and they didn't just say that for flattering reasons.

Next, explain why you think they think you remind them of them. Then feel free to agree or disagree with their opinion, or state whether it is reasonable to see why they said that to you.

I remind others of exactly no one. I am too unique for this world.
My mom says I am 1 in billions ( in a negative sense though i.e my level of retardation is found only in 1 in a billion).
Why I think this is because no one said I remind them of someone.
But that may be because I don't talk much anymore. Only write.

james dean & elvis presley are the ones i can remember being likened to :smoker: entirely superficial comments just the way i like them. i guess the james dean one was about facial structure and the elvis one about my hair at the moment. plus a bit of flattery in both cases, probably.

I don't think anyone has ever said that I remind them of anyone, wait... I remember. A few complete strangers has said I remind them of Eminem. I suppose I look like him enough. I just asked my mom who do I remind you of and she told me my name :confused:. I am generally described in adjective and adverbs; not usually associated to the likeness of others.

@bronto why are comments that are superficial the way you like them?

There's this one person that reminds us of Woody Allen... I initially went ahead of felt comfortable proposing entp for him after watching Annie Hall, although istp turned out to be an interesting choice. So this person who had been agreed upon by at least a few people myself included that reminds us of Woody Allen could be of the same type. For this person that reminds us of Woody Allen, a particular stereotype of istp could be reasonable. They not only vaguely look alike but they seem to act alike as well (from what we know of WA I suppose, if you got to know him he could be a little different. what we see of him could be him with his personality turned up to 11, or if he's slightly more quiet and unresponsive you could maybe still see the parallels between him and his screen persona - probably just in different moods (for all intents and purposes, still the same person?)). Considering his profession, he might also be an S type.

But it sort of seems vaguely dependent on W A's type. If anything one could be E and the other I, but it's just a way of explaining any similarities one might find. Similarly, one can see the parallels between intp & istp but some people could still claim them to be way different.. The default functions just seem to be a way of explaining any sims or differences one would see.

Basically, there was this one guy someone said I reminded him of. What was funny was that we are of different ethnicity, so it's not like we look alike or anything, for the most part. When he showed him to me I concluded it was partially because of the voice and manner of speaking, as well as some vague similarities to the style of dress. It was interesting... We also had quite a few similar interests in a particular area which is when it sort of started to get 'annoying', for lack of a better word. Could be some other thing going on of course

So I had to think that dude could be intp although intj seems to be rather likely as well. Yeah, all sorts of things should come along with this. I suppose someone would have to check the veracity of one's interests to determine affinity. I think the friend that told me that told and showed some other people, and now they might see it too it seems. Last time I was over there he said, "Once you see it, can't unsee"* which seems like a fair amount of pressure.


So whether Elvis or Dean would relate to INXP... I think phenotype could quantitatively play some role, perhaps not arbitrarily, but there could be some merit in, say, observing functions or behaviors in certain instances where people seem similar in some manner. What for? If people turn out not to be of the same type there's probably a difference of a letter, the s/n or p/j. The existence of certain things is apparently due to using mbti as something similar to ether.

Yeah and people say I remind them of a mix between Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Jon Ham and a bit of Clooney/Cary Grant. :smoker:

I don't think people ever tell me I remind them of anyone, only a close friend of mine who says I remind him of every single Author/Philosopher whom he finds unorganized.

I know that ISTJs constantly get told they remind people of their father though. I don't think I will ever hear that one.

Perhaps you become weird the moment you don't remind people of anyone else? Or perhaps you're just that, weird.

INTJ.

I have been told I remind people of Channing Tatum a lot (even by my lesbian cousin who I'd consider somewhat objective). :pueh: Even by random broads in the street. I just ignore everybody even if they think I'm totally hot.

Also James Dean/ Also my father :S


Oh you wanted more content, OP? Okk....

Channing Tatum has been typed as ISTp (SLI) by some folks although I think he is ISTP. Although I'm not attached to the comparison, it has been offered by various people who are in no way connected to each other (except through me, happenstance) so I suppose there must be some truth to it...

INTP. I seem to have a lot of dopplegangers running around. Just the other day, a friend thought he saw me, when I was somewhere else. It seems to happen a lot.

A friend once said I remind them slightly of L from deathnote, not in the physical sense but she said it commenting on how I think, and probably the fact that I have a massive sweet tooth. Keeping in mind she was an INFP fan girl that had just gotten into the series. So, biased opinion much.
And I was told by another friend that the way I think of people and how I think was similiar to Sherlock Holmes, from the tv series.
Physically a friend said I have that kind of Greek philosopher facial build with more of an edge to it.
I don't really see it, but I see where he was coming from.
I am an INTJ, but have been known to exhibit INTP preferences.

I've already told TimeAsylums he strikes me as a Byronic Hero.

TimeAsylum ... reminds me of Achilles


TimeAsylums - Prince Charming

Someone already saw that coming

Anyway, in real life too original to remind people of someone else, except myself

besides girls I've been with during their oedipus moments and go "oh you remind me of my dad/brother," but totally sexually ;) - you give them that deep look into their eyes, slightly condescending to a 'feminist', "protective," using yer Si as the father is wont to be (SJ), and just hold it, and they'll be reminded of their "protective" father/older brother... oh yeah, sex.

I guess it depends on whether your friend looks like Snape.

Jim Carrey, James Spader are the only two I can remember specifically. I vaguely recall others, but not who exactly it was.

The last one was April Ludgate from parks and rec.

I've never watched the show, but after some light research I felt complimented. Though I dd feel the need to assert that I wasn't quite that mean.

Pretty sure it has to be 'real life' examples, for all intents &

So something was still contributed, ENTPs apparently being the most original type. If you see or know of some person that doesn't remind you of anyone and/or you have a hard time attempting to compare them to someone else then they might be entp

the rest, okay. can't remember half the incriminating evidence i've posted on here but i suppose every cumulative action must be considered when truly attempting to figure out someone's something. so, you might still be liable to be referred to as an achilles in your daily interactions even though it's impossible for someone to reminded of someone else during said interactions..?

I have never been likened to any particular person, but a few people have said I remind them of an owl. My mum sometimes just calls me Owl.

I think this is because I'm perceived to be a solitary, slightly enigmatic, often nocturnal and contemplative person. I don't talk much, and tend to listen. When I talk it is usually after careful deliberation and processing. Usually what comes out is a condensed synopsis of filtered thoughts, and people often express appreciation of my input as it is clear, to the point and comprehensible. Some people are surprised by a slight philosophical bent, when the opportunity arises. I don't think they expect it from me as I'm mostly judged by my gender and appearance.

Appearance wise I've been compared to Kate Moss, Bjørk and Isabella Rosselini.

INTP.

I'm constantly being likened to cats behaviour-wise. True. I'm a quiet observer.

People have told me I look like a junkie but "in a good way". I still don't know what this means.

I've also gotten Isabelle Adjani. This is probably the most relevant of all.

Also, Samara from The Ring, and every single creepy little girl in horror movies. And Merzbow, although I'm neither male nor japanese. I think these two are because I have long dark hair and a plain pale face. I also tend to look like I hate everything. :cthulhu:

I've been compared to the character Hen from Little Bear. I think Hen has an easygoing manner despite being somewhat high-strung when she wants things in order. This is opposed to appearing unnecessarily overbearing. There is more of an underlying humor to her. I'm undecided between ISTP/ISTJ, but either way, I fully understand the comparison.

One of my ex girlfriends, my sister and father have told me that i remind them of Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad at the final seasons of the show, like in his state of badassery. Could be... partially.

I've heard it said I look like so many different people... I guess I'm adaptable. And I like to mix it up

Also, not including your personality type in your reply = fail k1ds :evil::evil::evil:

Around ten different people have told me I remind them of Sheldon Cooper. I don't think I look much like him at all, and know very little about how he behaves. I think he has Asperger's Syndrome or something of the sort. I don't watch TV. (I'm pretty sure I'm not an Aspie).

Two or three close friends have compared me to The Giver from the eponymous book.

I'm INTP.

Lots of people say Sheldon is an INTP but I don't think he is.

I believe he is an ISFJ.... I think.

I have been told I remind people of Channing Tatum a lot

If this is true please sit on my face please....

INFP

I've actually been told a lot on first meeting people that they feel like they've known me their whole lives. Still not sure why or what that is supposed to mean.

When my hair was long and shaggy my one bud used to call me "Ollie the Magic Bum". Now that I have a mohawk someone called me "My Little Pony". People who have seen me perform with my band have compared me favorably to Darby Crash, Lady Gaga, Courtney Love, Robert Smith, and "a punk rock Janelle Monae". Probably because I'm usually messed up and begging the audience for a beer or a puff on their joint, my make-up is usually smeared, and I have a penchant for rolling around on the ground in my underwear and just generally being weird and kinda-artsy (but really I just like having fun with off-the-wall ideas and presentations).

I also got called a "white Kanye West" because I have a tendency to put my feelings on certain issues bluntly and I don't have a filter.

I've been told by an equal number of people that I do not.

Personally, I don't believe we resemble each other any more than 30-40% at most.

I dunno, I have enough selfies on this website. I've always been more interested in my own interpretation of my appearance rather than other peoples'. Is that weird? Am I vain? That could be a yes.

I'm confused about my type.

on a good day, people compare me to other short bald men. (such as moby or phil collins)

on a bad day, they compare me to other unattractive people :beatyou:

i'm also compared with sad guys, behind blue eyes. such as elijah wood or alec newman (in dune).

most manly comparison i have heard was jason stratham. but he has a huge chin, i don't.

the common theme is, that people will compare based on one or two features and other features will be quite off. one or two matching features aren't even enough to match the type.

my basic features are: alien shaped face (short head, small chin), straight/relaxed eyebrows, deep seated eyes, straight slim nose, a rather small mouth that will rarely show teeth. not sure know how to describe the eyes. hooded, downturned.

i've played with comparing myself to franco nero, jeremy davies, ewan mcgregor, billy corgan, russel crowe, camille, olivier martinez. none of those comparisons are ultimately convincing.

I used to work with a guy who called me "Luke Skywalker". I'm pretty sure he was schizophrenic though... I think he was also a movie buff, because when his speech wasn't totally incoherent he would often talk about his movie collection. He only ever referred to coworkers by the movie character/actor name he had chosen for them. I didn't see much of a resemblance, but my hair was longer back then and another coworker told me I did kind of look like Mark Hamil.

I remember spending an entire shift listening to the movie guy say "Redneck!" over and over. And over again.

He would also get upset if he got his clothes wet while washing dishes (that was the only job he was allowed to do). "I'm all wet!" he'd say. "I'm all wet, and nobody cares. I'll make 'em care." Then he'd soil his pants.

I got sidetracked a bit there, but that's one of those things I just have to tell people about.
