What type is House?

[MadamI'madaM]

ENTx.

A misanthropic extravert. And yes, I can back this up you introvert bigots.

Yeah, he seems to be at his best while disparaging others.

He starts poppin' the pills when he's home alone...

I already have!

 

[MacGuffin]

Anyone that watched tonight's episode can no longer deny the extravert preference.

shit, I missed it! our DVR is buggy.

I will take the silence as assent.

INTJ.

 

[runvardh]

some of us only care enough to watch the argument an laugh...

 

[MacGuffin]

INTJ.

Haven't watched much, eh?

 

[Recluse]

Whoa, Darth is getting his cape in a bunch over this!

 

[ptgatsby]

Haven't watched much, eh?

I have, but I don't think it takes much watching to come to that conclusion.

Refute the plane episode and the season opener then.

 

[Siúil a Rúin]

The extroverted Thinking aspect is pretty hard to deny. That he actually needs a team to bounce ideas off of to be at his best pretty much indicates the man is not Ti. Although, could that indicate Ne? hmmm But surely the man has zero Fe. The role of intuition is the main question. INTJ or ENTJ are the best candidates having Te and absolutely no Fe.

INTJ - Ni Te Fi Se
ENTJ - Te, Ni, Se, Fi

ENTP - Ne, Ti, Fe, Si
INTP - Ti, Ne, Si, Fe

 

[MacGuffin]

The Fe is perverted by his misanthropy.

I don't even see this as evidence, actually, so I'm not sure what to refute. He likes having minions... whereas an ENTJ will have the entire world being directed, he has only his soldiers and nothing else. Soldiers that serve only his purpose - solving the problem. No different than the INTJs in my life, certainly.

He just does what he has to do in a situation. His preference involved over 60 episodes of INTJ traits, a clear dominance over the situational 2 episodes (or 4-5, I'd say).

He doesn't want minions, he wants an audience.

Extravert.

Extravert.

Which category would that fall under? Do you think he scores more on the first bunch than the second?

Initiating
Expressive
Gregarious
Active
Enthusiastic

Receiving
Contained
Intimate
Reflective
Quiet

Cause I sure don't seem him as almost any of the first. Even when he does go off, it's in a very particular situation, typically solving problems. A true extravert does it as naturally as breathing, constantly, inside and outside of work... in all parts of life.

My DVR only recorded bits and pieces of it. I was annoyed.

Misanthropic!

Digest will back me up here, I am sure.

Not every extravert is like this woman. Some are turned on by the ideas that come from their environment... like interesting medical cases.

They aren't all people persons.

And he is quite nutty and expressive for an introvert.

 

[ptgatsby]

*shrug* Those are the MBTI sub-categories for being an E. If he takes the test, that's what he'll have to measure against. Just be glad that MBTI is "nice" about Es, since most models based it more on positive emotions...

And he is quite nutty and expressive for an introvert.

Yes... we call them INTJs. Domineering in their wants and goals, fearless of all. The uncooperative ENTJs, IOW.

First for sure.

Maybe it is the way Hugh Laurie plays him, but I actually see him as enthusiastic(ly derisive), active, gregarious (he has fun cutting into people), and initiating (I think a lot of INTs may want to be like him, but are too introverted to initiate the type of trouble he does--caused Foreman to leave when he tried).

He certainly is not Reciveing, Contained, Intimate, or Quiet. He has his reflective moments, but just keeps on ticking.
