I - contemplative
N - kinda obvious from his movies and books
T - interest in philosophy and mapping life, rather than living it
P - also in his writing, randomness, and chronic dissatisfaction

I've often wondered what type he is, as he is one of my favorite people in the whole world.

INTP sounds about right to me.

EDIT: (Which, based on my experience with INTPs, means that I am better off admiring him from a distance than actually knowing him. ---wink-wink :p )

Sounds good. On the Celebrity Type List thread, he's listed as INFJ. INTP seems much more accurate than INFJ.

I actually changed the Celebrity Type List two minutes before you posted this.

I've seen Woody Allen type as ISTP, INTP and INFJ, but INTP seems to be the more relevant typing. Especially for his gapped humor.

^ Seems awfully high-strung to be an INTP to me. Also, he tries too hard to be funny when he really isn't.
I'd go with INTJ. But that might just be Haight subliming me . . .

Grr, I click on this thread to say precisely this, only to find that bluemonday has beaten me to it!

ESFP anyone? :devil:

He seems very Supine (think of it as a "hyper-Behind the Scenes" Interaction Style), as well as Choleric, which is my mix, so that would suggest a 'high strung' INTP with heightened F. (I was wondering about others with my temperament mix, and never thought of him. Should I be ashamed? He's still burned in my mind as a busted pervert, and Haight's avatar with him and that young female keeps reminding me of that).

Why does Keirsey type Woody Allen as an ISTP?
I'm just curious..

I have no idea how anyone could confuse him with an INTP.

Up!

I think Woody Allen is an ISTP:
Ti+Se+Fe = great interest and even obssesion about the working of relationships and psychology in the real world, in a analytical and sarcastical approach. A Ti-ish humor based on funny situations, his intrigues can be seen as complex mechanic.
Se+Ni= Woody Allen is a man who has somewhat a deep and singular vision of the world, but wich doesn't primarly lead his life, he prefers live and let live. He's very hedonistic and able to master any craft that interest him.

Really don't think he's an introvert.
If he were an N (and that's a big if), he'd be closest to ENTP.
But otherwise, I'd say ESTP, ESFP, or (I'm just being contradictory on purpose) ISTP.

I think so also, which is why I think INFJ. Of course, I may be confusing his movie characters with him personally (although, doesn't he essentially always play himself?).
