Yeah, House just loves people. You can tell he's a total social bird;)

Otherwise, I agree with the person that says you hit the head on the proverbial nail. I think House is an I with E getting more and more developed.

i think he is a social bird though... just a very disgruntled, generally misanthropic bird.

house is always looking outward, at people and at the connections (Ne) that link the way to diagnosis. people say he's very withdrawn - but when he withdraws, he's always distracting himself, with little logic or skill games (so NT). that's not really introversion, it's just... well, distracting yourself. and when he surrounds himself with his team and leads them in differential diagnosis, that seems very much like dominant Ne, with him using secondary Ti to judge the merits of the alternatives raised by Ne.

it also doesn't seem to take much effort on his part to lead or talk with others, even though what typically comes out is not at the heights of friendliness or tact. i suppose he could be an intp, but i don't think he would be in charge of a team if he were, or so overwhelmingly dominant in his relationship with wilson, who is a J.

and just reading intp vs entp... entp just strikes me as so much more house.

i agree with all of these :yes:
cameron as chaotic good is fascinating to me, but then, i'm not really an expert on alignment. seems accurate!

Has anyone ever seen a PBS miniseries called Flambards? It didn't get repeated like some of the others (at least not in my area). I'd be curious as to what types people think those characters are.

How about the made for tv movie(s): The Librarian? I'm not sure if Noah Wyle's character is INFP or a perky INTP.

Death Note:
Light: INTJ, the archtypical INTJ. extremely intelligent, suave, cordial, goal oriented and able to grasp ridiculous amounts of information in seconds.
L: INTP, he seems like INTJ at first glance, but his thinking is introverted and his manerisms and habits are accentric as hell which kinda seems like an NP thing (I know I related to it at least). he also comes to conclusive decisions very slowly and approaches the situation in a very Ne sort of way. he processes information more slowly than Light, but he takes his time and calmly figures out what to do in various scenarios. you only see him in the show at his decisive moments, but in reality, he needs more time to contemplate than we see (he is up against an INTJ after all)
Near: INTP; pretty much like L, but less so.
Mello: ENFJ; intelligent and a good planner, but irrational as hell
Mr. Yagami: ISTJ; too SJ to function, couldn't even break the rules to save his own life
Misa: ESFP or ENFJ; really loud and annoying
Ms. Takeda: INFP or INFJ
Mikami: INFP
Matsuda: ENFP

There's nothing "P" about Near whatsoever, and he's a 5w6 to boot.

Inglorious Basterds: Lt Aldo: ESTP, Shoshanna (the Jewish Chick): INTJ, Hans Landa: ENTJ (sadistic and friendly at the same time with a great sense of humor, an archtypical ENTJ characteristic), Joseph Goebells: ENTP, Bridgett van H.: INTJ?, Hugo Stigletz: ISTP, the Bear Jew: ENFJ, german soldier (the one in "Nation's Pride"):ESFJ


Hans Landa is almost certainly an ENTP rather than ENTJ. He operates best on the spur of the moment, quickly comprehending the fall of the NAZI Party and negotiating their betrayal for his survival. While NTJs are often villains, they are nevertheless highly principled within their own set of morals (Ni), hence why they are often Machiavellian rather than fully Psychopathic (perfect example is the differences between Magneto and Joker, one following a destructive execution of his own convictions concerning man and mutant, the other amorally creating chaos). Think Lawful-Evil as opposed to Chaotic-Evil. The genius of Landa is one that truly shows in such times of Chaos (Neutral-Evil leaning towards Chaotic). On a side note, would an ENTJ take such pride in being able to 'think like the rat'? Landa is so unprincipled that within the NAZI society, he even admires the tenacity of the Jews he hunts, callously killing them without even holding the warped convictions of an anti-Semite. In the same way, it is the ENTP lawyer who will use all available loopholes in a law to get his (guilty) client off the hook.

Agreed. ENTP makes more sense for Landa. He posesses a disarming Fe function that imbues him with significant charm (and it explains why he enjoys toying with people so much) I imagine an NTJ villain would have told LaPadite "I know the jews are underneath the floorboards. You either go along with this or I'll fucking kill you"

NTJ villains do seem to have certain principles (even if they're odd principles). Even Hannibal Lecter won't tolerate impoliteness.

I didn't realize that Near was the fictional personification of me, how 'bout that.

Near does seem more J. Nothing inquisitive about him, a total robot (no offense INTJs, I know you'r not all like that!) and I'd type him as INTJ. He's boring as shit, though. I really hate him because he's just a copy of L with a different hobby and minus the interesting quirks and slightly more stoic and orderly. I really wish that they had put more thought into his character.

They should have ended the series after L's death and Light's triumph.

I reckon the series should have ended with L's death and his plan going into action just in time. I feel this would be a very satisfying ending because a) It would make a good dramatic ending as he sacrifices himself for a cause and b) Light is an arrogant psychopathic bastard and deserved to be caught and/or killed.

The live action movie(s) has a cool take and combines L with Near's success (the actor who plays L is just like him too). It's not bad, besides the cheap CGI Ryuk.

I want neither L to sacrifice himself nor Light to lose. As for b): Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Well if I could I would at least send him to jail. I wouldn't be against him recieving the death penalty. I'm sorry, but I don't have sympathy for psychopaths and I don't see why I should. Besides, he's a fictional character. It doesn't really make a difference what my opinion is.
