[Requeim]

agree with pretty much everything

dwight is an ISTP like marv i think

and jacky boy is most definitely an ESTP



edit: are you a big fan of BTVS?

Hah, Tarantino as an ENTJ makes some sense. He is a jackass (but a brilliant one).

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

I could see Tarantino being an ENTJ.

He's pretty interesting if you've ever seen him in an interview.

i agree, his movies are awesome but he does seem like a bit of an asshole at times

 

[VagrantFarce]

Tarantino's an ENTP If you want to compare him to an actual ENTJ, look at James Cameron.

I've always thought that Robert Rodriguez was an ESTP.

That makes sense.

 

[VagrantFarce]

I'm suprised it's that easy to mix those two types up; one is a total bullshit-detector, the other specializes in bullshit.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Doesn't surprise me at all.

They are both tricksters.

The ENTP tricks you for fun.

The ENTJ tricks you for your own good.

 

[Requeim]

lol i actually doubted the ENTJ myself some 15 minutes ago, turns out i don't have to post anything now

 

[BlahBlahNounBlah]

Tarantino's an ENTP

Is Tarantino on drugs, or is he always like that? I can't watch him for five minutes without wanting to wipe him down and gag him.

No, Dwight was an ISTJ. He was too preoccupied with doing the right thing to be an ISTP.

Hah, Tarantino as an ENTJ makes some sense. He is a jackass (but a brilliant one).

Tarantino is an ENTP who is obssessed with his own genius (as many ENTPs are)

 

[VagrantFarce]

The one on one interviews aren't too bad (e.g. Charlie Rose), but he is hopelessly full of himself when he's in front of a crowd.

[youtube=iywknqrgHQs]Quentin Tarantino Robert Rodriguez interview for Grindhouse[/youtube]

On this video, we can see Robert Rodriguez talk the least, but seems exciting, waiting impatiently a reason to move, waiting for more action: that is ESTP and not ENTP, yes. Quentin Tarantino shows a totally ENTJ mannerism, and, by the way, every NT tends to be obssesed with their genius, not only ENTP. I like the idea that the main creators of the movie are xSTP with the reserved role of the creator of the comic held by an ISTP, and the expressive role of the in-charge director held by an ESTP because Sin City is a total xSTP movie: it means action, fun, freedom, violence, and it's not emo, damn it!

I've edit my original post. Jacky boy is an ESTP, yes, and Bob is a one too: his state of mind is globally "I've betray you Hartigan, but don't take it personally, we can still good pal...by the way, can I help you ?". That's ESTP, not ESTJ.

Requiem: I'm a HUGE fan of BTVS.

If we're talking about body language, an ENTJ would be far more economical in their speech and movement than an ENTP, who wouldn't be able to sit still once excited. You see how Tarantino can barely start his first sentence without jumping from one thought to the other?

Here's an ENTJ being interviewed in a very similar set of circumstances for comparison:
