ENTP

(I know he's hidden in another thread as an ENFJ, but clearly, he deserves his own thread and clearly, he's a rational)

He is SO not a P. If he's a P, I'll eat my own P-ness... *puerile sniggers*

Nah I don't see a kindred spirit in that one. I admire him, his work is awesome, he's brainy and witty and dead cool and one of my favourite celebrities, but he's no ENTP. At least, not if I am.

I support the ENFJ idea, personally. The only rational I'd put him even vaguely close to would be ENTJ, since he's no introvert and no P. But that doesn't seem right either.

For a second I thought you were referring to Philip J. Frye who is clearly neither an ENFJ nor an ENTP. I don't know who this one is though a quick Google tells me he's associated with Hugh Laurie who is great. I've been meaning to rent some Jeeves & Wooster.

He and Hugh Laurie are longterm best pals. They've done comedy on British TV since the 70's. Hugh's a totally different kinda guy though... I might actually hazard that *he* could be ENTP... though possibly more likely ENFP. I recognize the vagaries of rampant Ne in Hugh, but not Stephen at all.

The man is a polymath, a writer, playwright, director, actor, comedian, presenter and all-round national treasure. He's also completely :crazy:

if you rent Jeeves and Wooster, your opinion of Mr Laurie is likely to depreciate appreciably. Rent Blackadder and you will learn that we Brits still rule the waves!

I watched Blackadder years ago, back when Comedy Central was aptly named. Wonderful stuff.

I got the impression that in real life, Laurie is actually an I. Also, I think Fry is an F, too.

Didn't you do that already? Or am I getting mixed up? ;)

ahem.

This is how we make British ENTPs, exactly like this. Look and learn!

Come on, he's an ENFJ, he's such a soppy git he couldn't possible be an ENTP. Also he has bipolar disorder, which I'm sure Fs are more suscepitable to...

soppy gitness is a defining characteristic of ENTPs - I used to own one until I got fed up cleaning it up.

you have a point with the crazies, but still ENTP, to the last.

You only think he's a T because he's clever. Ts don't have a monopoly on smarts you know!

Also, if you watch his programme QI, you will see that if his logical arguments do not persuade, then he resorts to F on all occasions...

Plus, his comedy writing and acting is not T at all... It's very F.

he resorts to F 'cos it's funnier that way.

if i was him, i'd resort to F at every opportunity.

If you check your thread, the ENFJ theory is thus far pwing ENTP...

ENFJ wins the thread!
