Bruce Lee

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

I have a question. Why do you think INFJ is such a popular type?

deff not INFJ and ENTJ u guys are out to lunch. LOL.

 

[jixmixfix]

I'm still struggling to picture Lee as an S rather than an N (entj).

Wave some obvious reasons in my face, experts, because I've never come across an isxp who is as active/dynamic as him.

His unmatched skill has more reason to call him an "S" than anything. The man lived in the moment, and was extremely detail oriented.

Interesting about how you suggest he lived in the moment, because it seems as if he was keenly (powerfully) intent on making the future fully aware of his presence through perpetual, intensely focused development of technical moves/skills while generating/completing project after project during his short life, on top of the active, outwardly expressive, exited gestures still makes me think entj.

not isxp.

....his goal wasn't to generate his present techniques for future en devours it was to create the most useful, and most efficient form of martial arts. Being expressive and action oriented is actually the opposite of what "N's" are like. Expression through kinetic movements is actually very ISXP in nature. You have to be in touch with the physical world to apply skill and technique. SP behavior is very action oriented. His wisdom and words are the result of his success with the physical world.

I suppose I could be overcompensating for a lack of background knowledge on his life (with help from that black & white video on the tube!). Can you provide any people of a similar energy level/expressiveness who you can likewise confirm as isxp?

I always wondered that. Every man and his dog are infj to some people.

Why do you assume ISXPs have no energy level? ISXPs are hands on people, aka they are interested in anything that involves activity. Sports, Cars, biking,martial arts, etc. ENTJS like sit down and talk, debate, dispute ect, If anything ENTJ"s would be less "energetic"

weird because INFJ's are considered the least likely type for men.

 

[Aleksei]

I actually think INFJ is an even less common type than it appears. A lot of supposed INFJs are, very likely, INTJ, ISFP or INFP (in that order). There's no way Enneagram 4 is that common in an Fe type. My money is on that the majority of actual INFJs are 1, 2, or 9.

It's not an assumption of mine because I left the door open to your providing explicit examples.

 

[Lark]

I used to have massive posters of both Bruce Lee and Muhammed Ali when I was at uni, two archetypes of manliness and confidence, or so I thought. Think they are certainly iconographic but apparently Lee wasnt that great a boxer or fighter in reality.

 

[You]

After watching documentaries, and readings, Lee is actually a great fighter and proved it time and time again to those that tested him. However, he wasn't a professional martial artist such as Chuck Norris.

Still, Chuck verified he'd get his ass whipped.

Neither was Ali. Even with bogus rules Inoki proved it.

Bomba Ye~!

Still eagerly waiting for your evidence, jixmix.

sx/sp e19 entj, socionics LIE, logical subtype. isfp or istp would be ridiculous. Is there even such a thing as an e1 isfp?

An sp/so e98 entj interviews him in the most popular Youtube interview.

Kinda has me thinking Prince might be e19 rather than e12.

 

[sleuthiness]

I take that back about istps lacking in e-ish dynamic ability. Certainly could be him.

e1 or 8 though?

Bruce Lee - TP but what TP?

I watched all the Bruce Lee interviews I could find on youtube yesterday.

I think I have narrowed it down to ISTP or ENTP. He is introspective and has a reflective bend that comes across as very TP (Ti) to me. I am tempted to go with ISTP (which would also be the logical choice, given his profession). But you cannot conclude a type from a professsion.

Yet once or twice the interviewer throws him an intuitive bone to pick and Bruce misses it. Its interesting; I don't really get any sensing from him, but nor does he seem overly intuitive.

I can agree with you... Interesting that it's hard to distinguish...
I think perhaps ESTP, but that martial arts and him being from an asian culture plays a role in making him seem introspective.
He's a huuuuuuuuuuge show-off, though, and really freaking Se-oriented.

 

[Blackwater]

very good point

ISTP

 

[Glycerine]

ISTP.... I remember that someone on PerC was arguing for INFX.
