Betty White

[HongDou]

I love her! She's so cute and funny. And I can't seem to find a thread on here for her type so hopefully I'm not making a thread that's already happened before. What type do you think she is?

 

[Qre:us]

I love her, too!

ENTP

I cut you if you tell me I'm projecting.

 

[chickpea]

ESFJ? I love Betty last remaining golden girl.

 

[Lady_X]

Haha yes let's talk about Betty white hehe she's awesome

Awesome ne heavy esfj is my guess

ESFJ? I love Betty last remaining golden girl.

The sad part is that she's not immortal.

Or maybe she is.



Yeah, I agree that she has Ne and Fe but I couldn't decide between the two. She seems very Fe in the second video so I'm leaning towards ESFJ with lots of Ne. But then again she could be an ENTP with really good Fe, but I dunno she seems more naturally Fe to me. Plus I see Si more than Ti. On the four-letter dichotomy (which is what a few of people have been going back to on here) ESFJ works too.

Any ideas on her e-type?

 

[chickpea]

I could see 2w3 or 7w6 for etype.

 

[The Ü™]

Funny thing is she is also the oldest Golden Girl IRL. I'd say ESFP, but ESFJ is also acceptable, though perhaps leaning closer to an ESFj in Socionics.

 

[HongDou]

I'm thinking 2w3 with 7w6 second in her tritype (for those of you who buy into tritype theory anyway).

Yeah, she seems ESE. Alpha definitely fits her the best from what I've seen of her. ESE-Si I think - she's a little more low key than the Fe subtype.

Either an ENTP or an ESTP who grew up soo long ago that all the women had to adapt ESFJ characteristics. Let's not forget that she came of age in a really, really gendered time.

Yup. Just because she seems like a sweet old lady, with social graces, does not an ESFJ make.

 

[Z Buck McFate]

^Yeah, I really really don't see her as ESFJ (or any FJ). ENTP sounds about right to me- or any TP, maybe. She's got some sharp edges.

 

[skylights]

I'm on board with TP too, probably NTP.

 

[HongDou]

Hmm...I could still see either ESFJ or ENTP for her. You could say that she's got less control over herself than an ESFJ (especially from her time). She keeps touching his leg and hand in the second video and then Fe-tert might kick in after a while and tell her to back off a bit so she slaps her hand. She's also better at following someone's lead rather than just simply knowing what the most pleasant action to take is (she kisses him in the second video only after he kisses her), which could also indicate tert Fe rather than Fe-domness. That also could indicate some Pe going-with-the-flowness.

But I still don't see Ti in her. If someone could point it out to me maybe I'll lean towards ENTP. I still think ESE in socionics works for her though. She doesn't seem Fi polr but Ni polr could work. If she IS ENTP being ESE could explain why she seems more ESFJish.

An ENTP 2w3 would be interesting too...

Also the fact that she had a lion scream in her face and she didn't run away or even freak out seems sp-last to me. Don't know which kind of sp-last but I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say sx/so.

 

[Anew Leaf]

I think she's an ENTP and is so/sx or sx/so combo. She has an interesting combo of both wide-eyed softness and sharp poking bite.

A good example of how this type can be both entertaining and sweet since so often all we see are the George Carlins and Seth McFarlanes

That's another reason I thought sp-last, but I wouldn't dare say it since VI-ing people is more fun than anything. She's huge on animal rights and I love that so I wanted to say so/sx just because I'm a huge animal rights activist too...but who knows. Projecting can suck.

I do like the idea of Betty being a fellow Ne-dom though.

ne represent!

 

[Aspie aspiring]

I love Betty White! I saw her on an episode of Ugly Betty, and she was pretty funny. I can definitely see Ne there; either Ne dominant or maybe she's just developed it over time? She seems to connect well with Craig Ferguson in that video, who seems like an ENTP to me.

 

[Masokissed]

Not ESFJ. She's broken too many norms for that. Just looks ESFJ now because she's developed Fe.

 

[Dyslexxie]

Came here to say ESFJ, but am now swayed (and biased towards) ENTP.

 

[D'Ascoyne]

From her younger days:

I think ExTP. Tricky, because she's quite well-rounded. Very quick, grounded, acerbic, funny, smart. Her Fe is strong but she's really playful and I get strong P vibes. I could see ESTP. I don't really see Ne in her.
