Even with Adam Sandler, I don't feel lucky. At all.

Most of the time I'd rather be an ESTJ.

^I don't want to turn this into another socionics vs MBTI debate, but the translation isn't clean. I know INFPs who are INFp, INFj, ISFj (myself), and ISFp in socionics.

I dunno, man!

Okay, you know that imaginative creativity you guys have? Imagine all of that... GONE. I look at you guys, and... well, it's like we're all in this thought box. You guys have the key to opening it (so you can think outside the thought box) and ESTJs don't. All we can hope is to follow somebody out of the box, but we can never open it ourselves.

Yes, you DID just see an ESTJ use a mildly sappy metaphor. Savor it while you can :D

Churchill quotes illustrating clear ESTJness:

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." (Principles, principles, principles!)

"Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter." (Hmm, this doesn't sound very ESTP--seeking ways to pointedly minimize the necessary violence in battle?)

"Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all." (Short, to the point, succinct, traditional, dignified. ESTJ.)

"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things." (Wow look more Te quotes about how important making externally measurable progress/improvement is)

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential." (Hard work over brute strength, Te/Si wins again.)

You want some ESTP military leader quotes, check out good old General George S. Patton!

Look at the PEOPLE that share our personality types
We got Stephen Colbert (Actor, not character)
Johnny Depp
Adam Sandler
Heath Ledger
COME ON!!!!

*evil laugh* so we can kind of get these people better than others
It's so awesome it's unfair. <33

Dunno about the others but Colbert is a typical ENTP (Jon Stewart sounds pretty much INFP to me), And Sandy's a typical ISFP.

Okay, you get to be Churchill. :D **Hands EJCC the Chruchill costume**
*puts on suit and bald wig*
ahem...
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.

*takes off suit*
That was fun! Thanks :)

But seriously. Even if Adam Sandler and others are off-putting... you have STEPHEN COLBERT! Rock on!

Yeah, I have to agree that Adam Sandler doesn't seem INFP at all... :confused:

Check DN's Author List Type thread for a loooong list of talented INFPs to be truly proud of ;)
