Reading more of his bio, I think he's more likely ESFP. His childhood and youth recountings sound extremely Se-ish, although peppered here and there with occasional Ni-like visions (most of which came true). Fi wasn't as readily apparent, but his T function is certainly Te rather than Ti, and Se does have kind of a steamroller effect over the Ji function.
You don't use cog processes, because cog processes don't exist any more than the number ten exists. Cog processes are symbols defined by thought patterns (or generalized perspectives, depending on which theory you prefer).I agree a person's thought process and dialectic can be readily apparent to us. But the cog functions they are actually USING in that thought process?
No I haven't. I've maintained pretty adamantly throughout that Carlin is Se/Ni and Te/Fi, as well as an extrovert (that is to say, he could only logically be ENTJ or ESFP).if you don't believe me, give me ANY pair of sensing/processing functions and I will find its presence for you in George's books, comedy skits or biography. its not hard to do - shit you've covered half of them yourself already
You don't use cog processes, because cog processes don't exist any more than the number Pi exists. .
That if I'm not mistaken has a more scientific basis to it, so yeah.well i'm glad we agree on that much
Q: do you think biological-based temperament exists? because I try to look for that rather than do it through the cog function method.
But why N?
he was always very focused on revealing the underlying way things work, and not so much in the way an ESTP would with hard objects. Politics, religion, society, these aren't fully tangible mechanical contraptions. What he was really passionate about in his criticisms was very NT. An ESTP is a realist, and while they'd have something to say about these topics I don't think Carlin would have made them so centrally focused were he an SP.
You have got to be realistic about terrorism. Ya gotta be a realist: Certain groups of people – muslim fundamentalists, christian fundamentalists, jewish fundamentalists, and just plain guys from Montana – are going to continue to make life in this country very interesting for a long, long time. That’s the reality. Angry men in combat fatigues talking to god on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment.
People just refuse to be realistic. They don't like to be realistic. People would rather stroke themselves.
To be fair, I am at least 3 letters correct.
but I'll settle for ENTP realist.
Two. The dude was ESFP.To be fair, I am at least 3 letters correct.
