Paul Bettany

I'm getting ISFP from this: Charlie Rose - A conversation with actor Paul Bettany

 

[Jack Flak]

He's played an INTP so perfectly that I'm inclined to doubt anything but, however he could just be a great actor. ISFP is plausible, at least.

Okay, note how he seems uncomfortable reflecting on his work as an actor philosophically. He much much prefers to tak about tangiable things he has done, and that's preety much all he does throughout the interview.

Don't mistake British reserve for T. He's an actor. I'll need good convincing that almost any actor isn't a T.

I didn't mistake anything for T, Mr. Smartypants. I said he played an INTP perfectly (Stephen Maturin).

So by being "inclined to doubt anything but" and INTP for him, you're saying you weren't nominating him as a T?

To make that so your comma should have been before the "but" and not afterwards

 

[Jack Flak]

What are you, an ISTJ? I said ISFP was plausible.

 

[dynamiteninja]

He's married to an INFJ, Jennifer Connelly, if that's any help. That would suggest ISFP more than INTP, although of course it does not rule any type out.

You don't really think that, do you?

I fear my sons will never understand me.

You have sons? Or is this some joke I don't understand? :/

I'm totally dumfounded here, dyna. You know me, and you're N, and you can't figure out when I'm bein' figurative (or possibly quoting Conan the Barbarian...)?

See I'm not familiar with Conan the Barbarian, whatever he may be...

I don't have a whole lot to add overall (apart from my love of the actor) but why 'I'?

I can't recall if I've ever watched an interview with Bettany - but I have read some, and from his comments, he always appears to be horsing around - the journalist reporting how comfortable he seems being interrogated.
I may be wrong, but does this not sound more like an 'E' trait?

Of course, he could just be very comfortable in his own skin (how much can you tell from just reading the words he says, really?) I'm just curious as to why you immediately typed him as an 'I'.


Edit: I just realized you were basing your observations off a particular video
I'm currently at work, thus cannot watch it - but will do later to see if I concur.
