I'm a huge fan of his. Love his books, love his TV shows.

After much deliberation, I think ... think ... he might be ...

Anthony Bourdain is a classic, classic ESTP.

I'm not convinced he's an extravert or a sensor.

All right, watching the new episode right now. Now that it's been pointed out, I definitely see it. ESTP, but I suspect he's a low extravert; I've seen him embarrassed by other people's actions, and he refuses to dance or sing karaoke.

An ENFP would be more likely to do something jackassy like dance or sing karaoke. ESTPs have an image to project, yo.

I always pegged him as an ENTP for some reason.

I've also read his books. He screams ESTP to me. I'm willing to concede a weaker S. But an S nonetheless.

Have you read his fiction? I'd be curious to see how it differs from Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour.

Nope. Only Kitchen Confidential, A Cook's Tour, and his Les Halles cookbook (which I had him autograph. <3 Anthony Bourdain).

ESTP 7w8 sp/sx... he does seem ENTPish at times but i think it's just snobbery.

i can never tell if i like him or think he's a huge asshole. i'm jealous of his life regardless and appreciate the food porn he provides me.

I don't think Anthony Bourdain is a huge asshole; I think he's honest. In a TV host, especially, it's rare to find someone who doesn't oversell every experience while still maintaining enough charisma to keep things colorful and interesting. If he doesn't like something, he says so, and it comes off as being grouchy for some. I don't see him that way at all, however.

I think 7w8 for sure, probably ESTP.

Edit: He could be N, but he definitely uses Se and Fe.
