steve martin?

[OrangeAppled]

OK - I'll gossip a little. Back in the 80's I lived in Malibu for a couple of years and had some entertainment industry connections. I heard from more than one source that Steve was really different IRL than his stage persona (which is true for many comedians). I heard: chauvenistic male-pig, serious-humorless, reserved and cold/unfriendly.

I'm going with INTJ.

I've heard he is reserved in person when not performing. I suspect he is an introvert. I think INTJ may be right also.

you think dominant Ni more than dominant Te? i also focus on more tertiary Se than Fi, which has has none of whatsoever. Fi types have a strong feeling attachment to various things that guides their Te, a very deep cutting undercurrent.

he definitely needs serious introversion time to get it back and pull it together. plus it seems like he hates people. possibly all people. possibly including himself. he scares me- on 30 rock i loooooved his character.

 

[Fecal McAngry]

what's his type?? does anyone know?

I do

INTJ.

 

[the state i am in]

i see inferior Fe rather than tertiary Fe. shopgirl is not intj. he has no feelings at all, and no soul. also the tertiary Se enj movement comedy.

Why would you do something as difficult as figuring out what position F is in for SM, when you can do things as simple as determine what attitude F is, whether he is an introvert or an extrovert, etc.

The more difficult you make the process, the more often you will be wrong.

And BTW, SM does not extrovert feeling.

You are attempting to type a performer based on characters he played?

Very difficult. Why not take an easier path?

BTW--"Wild and Crazy Guy" was deliberately created because it's 180 degrees away from what Martin actually is...

that was a mistake- i meant Fi. and bc the whole matters. you can boil it down to one question and see it one way, but that doesn't make you right. Te dom can be a wide range of extroversion, but it's always Te. extroversion means something far different to me than it does to you. it does not just translate into publicity, or affability, or "outgoing"ness. it means your information processing capabilities are skilled at merging with the world, and you do your best/easiest/most natural work outside of yourself. it makes you faster at adapting, but worse at getting your shit together/organizing your past experience.

also, it's off-topic, but your thought processes could not sound more istp. which is not a knock, just an observation related to your continual assertions that you are correct and everyone else is in fact wrong.

 

[Fecal McAngry]

your thought processes could not sound more istp.

If you believe this to be so, does this not make you question your competence at typing others and the process you use to reach your typings?

no, why would it?

 

[Fecal McAngry]

no, why would it?

Not only am I a very clear INFP on all four dimensions, but I am right here in front of you, actually interacting with you, and you still can't perceive who I am.

If you can't put the ball in the basket from four feet away, why would you think you could from thirty feet away?

i am legitimately amazed at all four dimensions. i must be high as a kite.

i also do greatly enjoy your analogy. field goal percentage is very important to me, lest i wake up one morning and realize i'm rasheed wallace mindlessly bombing away from downtown. oh the humanity!

you do strike me as istp, but my biggest potential weakness in this interpretation is that, if you are 37 years old as indicated, i would have far less experience/practice charting infpness in your demographic. i have a sample size of but 5 or 6.

it suffices to say, i know of no infps who share your stated goals. and few who would really enjoy quoting themselves.

I may be wrong, but it seems as if you've missed his point.

To say the least

To be thought to be an ISTP is a trip...

Steve Martin's Somatotype is Endomorphy: 4.0 Mesomorphy 4.0 Ectomorphy: 4.0 That puts him in the dead center of the chart below. He could go in 4 directions at that point but most probably is an ENTP. His appeal is that he can be so many characters.
