Which type is he, considering the eyes alone?

Type has nothing to do with eyes. But I'm sure there's someone stupid enough to fall for this stunt.

Maybe nothing to do with the physical structure but there is something Ni about the gaze.

If I were to make a serious assumption about the type of the person in the photo my guess would be that they're some sort of a feeler because the eyes look expressive to me in a friendly kind of way.

I don’t know P-Diddy about VI but find it fascinating. [MENTION=5418]Lady_X[/MENTION] and I used to ponder it quite a bit privately and have discussed it here and there (there’s an Instincts and Faces thread floating around somewhere). I personally wouldn’t know what to look for and have never really put myself to the test in a serious way...which is/was part of my fascination...like what are the supposed common elements? But Lady_X reported a high success rate using this method to type...focused primarily on the eyes.

I’ll add too that there’s a decent body of research out there to support her experience which surprised me initially but not anymore (apparently the world is no longer considered flat either :wink: ). I haven't personally read anything that had subjects type at the level of the specific MBTIs...but I did read a study in an academic journal of social science research (of personality) demonstrating significance pertaining to VI and Temperament typing with a focus on eyes that was interesting.

I'm not sure how I feel about visual typing in it's complete accuracy, but from the little I have learned, typing someone by the eyes is usually done through video or motion. It's hard to do with a standalone picture. But I will take a shot in the dark and say the doe-eyed look is more common of dominant Si users, ISFJ to be particular.

I'd guess xSFP.

Where do you get these pictures from, [MENTION=13589]Mal12345[/MENTION]? You seem to have many on hand.

You are on the right track.

You're kinda close.

Looks ESFP, but part of that is the chain necklace.

Except for the part about the chain necklace, you're well on the way to doing a victory dance. But not quite.

So the person in the picture is either an ESFJ or an ISFP.

It's not ok posting people's pictures for us to guess their type or for whatever reason if you don't have their permission.
