Yeah what ivy said... It just seems like you don't understand enfps very well.
I don't mean that all sinister like or anything... It just seems like you have the wrong impression.
Steven Tyler... Major partier for years...robin Williams and Craig ferguson too
My dad... My sister... These other two enfps I know....lots of people mal
You can be fi and like to party. :/
I think I've seen a couple different sources type him as ESTP. Not sure what I think about that.
I don't see Russel Brand as having "a preference for partying over all else." Nor do I see that as something an Fi would be immune to. Social excess to fill an emotional hole? Why not?
The research I've done shows that Russell has turned around some of his youthful party habits. I suggest reading up on the dude. The interview posted here didn't provide nearly enough information. And social excess to fill an emotional hole would have to bring forth some other function as the INTROVERTED part of Fi does not allow for a socially excessive attitude. Either these things are defined in terms of FUNCTIONS, or stop using function theory. Are we all on the same page here or do we use function theory only when it fits?
No shit, that's why I said "I don't see Russel Brand as having "a preference for partying over all else." He's a recovering addict and pretty religious, actually. For the eleventy billionth time, I DID NOT RELY ONLY ON THE VIDEO IN MY TYPING OF HIM. Seriously, "the introverted part of Fi does not allow for a socially excessive attitude"? Is that in any "official" definition of Fi or did you come up with it? Because I'm honestly wondering if you've met any ENFPs.
Okay, so IYO no ENFPs are party animals?
This is making function theory too rigid, IMO.
It's not that I think a person with primary or secondary Fi will be a party animal BECAUSE of their Fi. Just that I don't think them being or having been a party animal disqualifies them from having primary or secondary Fi. I think Fi can be compatible with social excess, especially in a person with a need to fill an emotional hole they don't yet fully understand.
I'm not going by that one interview either.. I've read his books. I don't see a lot of Se with him. He does (or did, in the case of drugs) a lot of sex+drug stuff but it's always described as trying to fill an emotional hole, not sheer sensation-seeking. I don't really think of him as an "if it feels good do it" SP type. More of a "I do things that feel good for a reason, and I'm going to explore the reasoning and ethical framework that causes me to do these things" NF type. I honestly can't see NT in him at all- his Ne ideas are largely people-centered and ethics-centered ideas, not disembodied NT "universe" ideas. He is an anarchist and Hare Krishna, for pete's sake.
"The sincere aspect of my attendance to these carnivals of disobedience is my instinctive mistrust of authority and innate belief that whilst we are different we are all equal and have a social culpability to care for every member of our society."
"One of the consequences of consumerism has been the commodification not only of commercial durables and consumer items, but also of our own emotions and desires."
Those quotes are SO NF it hurts.
What is so NF about disobedience to and instinctive mistrust of authority?
One word: Gandhi
So now the question is of course, what type is Katy Perry?
So now the question is of course, what type is Katy Perry?
ESFP 6w7 So/Sp.
Ivy said she read two of his books! She's not going just by the interviews.
Tell me mal... Do you feel like you grasp the way an enfp functions?
Paint a lil picture for me... If you will...
If I could paint a picture of dual types theory, I would.
My previous ENTP call turned out to be a mixture of ENFP and ESTP. I heard Russell's explain his Fi values at the 13:30 point the first time through the video just like you did. But the contradiction within his personality tells me he is more than ENFP, and this can't be explained through tertiaries.
INFP
No way you people are caraaazay!Good Job!
I agree. That's not heroic Ne for an ENFP. Drugs, alcohol and peer/social pressure to be an outgoing, "wild and manly man"?
