I'm really thinking INTJ here....

Just because he's amazing at describing emotions doesn't make him an Fi dominant, although he does seem like an obvious Fi user. His metaphors for feelings seem like much more of an N dominant thing to me. But the intuition is clearly focused and J-like -- much more linear than an Ne dom would be.

His lyrics for songs are all much more story-like than short-term expressive. In a higher frame, his albums are story-like as well. So much linearity.

Again, just because Fi is strong does not mean it's in the first two functions.

LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL!!!

Provide your case as to why, please.

CC let me explain this to you in the only way you'll be willing to listen:

Concerning typology, The Flak and I are almost universally opposing forces.
It's rare he and I agree.

Despite the fact that I hate to even admit that I'd agree with him out of spite, I have to do that right now. Also it's way fun pushing your buttons.
And when he and I agree, the combined force is so strong, there's no question.
We could tilt the sun off it's axis with how right we are.

The fact that I agree with him is proof that his case is airtight.

Did you list some reasoning somewhere or are you doing the same thing you're mad at CC for doing?

Look how people see him as.
IMDb :: Boards :: Trent Reznor :: What's wrong with him?
IMDb :: Boards :: Trent Reznor :: Analyzing Trent Reznor

Now read this:
INTJ = Asperger?? - FRDB

"In college he studied computer engineering and music."
Computer Engineering...? Isn't that an INTJ thing?
And of course he studied music, but that's also very systematic, although creative. There are patterns and time sequences, etc. And he can play many instruments.
It just seems like a very INTJ thing; to be able to be so dedicated and extremely skilled at something.
"I don't trust people very much. I don't like that many people."
Just one quote showing his Introvertedness... Probably not feely.
I've read some of his interviews and he seems extremely sarcastic which is also an INTJ trait, and I've read that many people think he is nice. The INTJs I know are very polite, and come across as nice (but it seems like they're just doing the right thing... as in, there's no reason to be mean.)

Well?

Single theme -- internal standard, not external.
Fi: Internal standard for what is good and pure and wonderful.
Ti: Internal standard for what makes sense and how to figure out what else makes sense.


Reznor: P.

Do you know what introverted perception is?

Wait, no, you don't know the theory that everyone else uses.
The problem with your favorite theory is that it doesn't reflect reality. You value the theory more than reality, in fact, and you trust it to be right no matter what.

There's nothing whatsoever to indicate that "introverted perception" would affect ones inclination to have a theme in an album anyway, so your position is double stuffed.

He is a "fallen" idealist.

For those of us who suffer from hypersensitivity to "life" and the "human condition", for those of us who suffer from having, dare I say, too much self-awareness, for those of us who feel too much, too deeply, and too often, with a masochistic bent towards obsessing over all that is fucked-up about life, well for some of us, we learn to shut the world and people out because by detaching ourselves from it/them and at times, from even ourselves, we get the opportunity to feel less.

I would also say that Trent is a 4.

Hmmm, Echoplex!!!

Nice and high and far apart
Just like they said
I built this place with broken parts
Just like they said
You chip away the old version of you
You'd be surprised at what you can do
I'm safe in here
Irrelevant
Just like they said

My voice just echoes off these walls

You feel me breathe
I am watching you
I see it all
The many ways you can't get to me
I see it all
I see the Hell you put yourself through
Oh the things I could do (if I wanted to)

My voice just echoes off these walls
My voice just echoes off these walls
I don't need anything at all
My voice just echoes off these walls

And I just slowly fade away

You will never ever get to me in here
