Eddie Murphy

[Giggly]

I'm seeing an interview with him. What type do you think he is?

The thing that's standing out to me is how well he can imitate characters and personalities. He seems to absorb everything he sees and then spits it back out in an entertaining form. Apparently he does this immediately and without any need for practice.

ESFP 2w3 So/Sx

From what I hear from people who have met him, he is pretty shy. I would say he is a IstP

 

[Giggly]

I think he's ESFJ.

 

[StrawMan]

From what I hear from people who have met him, he is pretty shy.

Hard to imagine that, in his live shows and interviews he doesn't seem shy. But it is mostly rehearsed, I know.

I think he is ESxP.

 

[sleuthiness]

so/sx e91 esfj is plausible. He gels with and mentions plenty of actors I recognize as socionics alpha.

Eddie is definately an Introvert this is common knowledge to all that has worked with him

ISFP, provocative, highly creative, cool, risk taker, but very artistic

 

[FDG]

I think he's ESFJ.

Yeah. ESFj 7w6.

This guy cannot be introverted. Look at his energy levels, you cannot fake being energetic.

ENFP

 

[Porcelain Hearts]

Definitely an SP, but not on ESFP. He doesn't come off showboaty or clown-like in personal interviews. He's actually quite a serious person.
I'd bet he is ISTP or ESTP. Strongly developed Ti and Se function. I didn't get why people were throwing in ISTP since I'm only attune to his overacting comedies, but watching his personality in an interview shines a new light for me.

ESFP 2w3 So/Sx

That's Arsenio Hall. Eddy murphy is an ESFJ 7w6 So/Sx.

 

[JLM]

Eddie Murphy is definately introverted as said by everybody who has met him, SFP is probably more likely aa well

 

[alcea rosea]

ESTP

 

[Qlip]

I have no idea on type.. I just want to lament the fact that the man who gave us Buckwheat and Coming to America, also gave us Norbit and 'Party all the Time'. That makes me profoundly sad.

 

[KDude]

Party All the Time is pretty good actually. He'd be better off doing than that these family movies.
