I can't make up my mind between ExTJ's and IxFJ's.

The former because they are tough go getters who are almost destined for success in whatever they put their mind too, but I find a depth with the latter that I feel safe in. I love the passion and loyalty that is hidden underneath very sharp minds.

But I'm a P, and a libran, so don't expect me to make a choice.

I kinda admire all of them in their own way. I admire the quiet, tough but gentle integrity of the INFP; the efficiency and practicality of the ESTJ; the nurturing kindness and common sense of the ISFJ; the way ISTP's can be such deep thinkers but yet without it making them come across all snotty and dully academic like INTP's so often do, and they're more action oriented and great fun to be with; then again, I admire the INTP's lucidity and restraint. The energy, courage and sheer formidable-ness of the ESTP are things I envy and admire, and the quiet dedication and modesty of the ISTJ. All those things are qualities I wish I had in myself, and try to learn off those people that have them.

Damn you for the better answer, I hate you. :steam:

I vote ESTJ's. Have all the faculties to make it in the world, plus are the extroverted versions of the good old ISTJ's. The ESTJ's have all very admirable qualities, don't think I know an ESTJ in real life, but they seem to have very admirable qualities.

I don't.

Admiration is something I assign to a person regardless, and even despite their type.

The types of some of the people in my life I greatly admire; ESFJ, ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTP, ISTP, ISFP, ENTJ, ENFP, INFJ, INFP. All for different reasons.

I somewhat admire them too, but isn't _STJ too much on an ESTJ to admire it as another type?

To be honest, ESTJ seems to be about the only people I know who disregard this kind of simple things in their favorite activity of stating opinions.

Just sayin'.

Haha I see what you are saying, but I had a doubt as to whether I was intro or extroverted. For the majority of my time, I've been known to be ISTJ, so considering that as my type, I admire the ESTJs the most. If you take both STJs out of the question, it's admittedly a tough call.

Okay ;) I guess my most admired type is INTJ, but as my preferences are sometimes quite close to it, I'm not sure. Perhaps ENTP, ESTP after INTJ.

ISTJ and ESTJ. ISTJs I love cause they can combine serious work with still being funny and not loosing their humour. And ESTJs I admire for their dedication, while still being open to new ideas. I know only one of them tho in real life.

INTJ, absolutely no contest.

#2 is INFJ, probably followed by ENFJ/ISTP roughly tied for 3rd.

ISFP.

Don't know many of them myself, just thinking about the functions.

I quite admire INTPs. I consider them a challenge for argument.
