Famous Living NFs

[Varelse]

But I don't sense much "play" in Ellison's work. When I read his pieces, I have a very distinct feeling that he has considered EVERY word carefully, and it is perfectly aligned and balanced and controlled and in its proper place, and heaven forbid anyone touch it. It's almost as if the story came out of his head in finished form -- and really, considering the speed at which he can construct his stories, that's almost the way I think it happens. He writes very quickly, he KNOWS what he's going to say and how he's going to say it.

Which is why I'd go more "J" with him (it's less an exploratory process for him), than "P" (for whom the writing often is as much a surprise to them as to the reader, and it informs them as they go, leading to revision).

I'll have to agree-there does seem a great deal of the structure and direction. He does seem to go where he is going, and what point he's trying to make.

What makes you think she is extroverted?

Well, in her interviews she doesn't really seem to be shy -- she doesn't catch me as the type who is that uncomfortable in the public eye or that self-conscious of being on TV.

Of course, she could just be good at making herself seem comfortable in the public eye, in which case, she'd more likely be an INFJ.

I always thought Richard Branson was an ENTP until I read the May 15th New Yorker profile on him. He's definitely an ENFP.

Could Derren Brown be ENFP? I was thinking ENTP for a long time, but bought a book he's written, and he sounds very ENFP in it thus far.

I feel that Oprah is definitely an ENFJ

Could Derren Brown be ENFP? I was thinking ENTP for a long time, but bought a book he's written, and he sounds very ENFP in it thus far.

Being that he's a charlatan, I wouldn't personally trust the tone of his writing to give away his type.

Madonna ENFJ?

Unconventional thing with religion...

[Sniffles]

I speculate that Slavoj Zizek is an NFJ. I'm still debating whether E or I. I tend towards E because of his exaggerated poses when speaking.

Now compare this with the manner and gestures of the late INFJ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:

Most INFJs I've seen(including myself) tend to be more restrained when giving gestures while speaking; as you saw above.

INFP Stephen Colbert

I think he is a more definitive INFP than jonny depp

[The Grey Badger]

Madonna ENFJ?

Unconventional thing with religion...

Naah. Madonna, ESTP. I remember thinking when she signed on to play Evita what a wonderful piece of typecasting that was and how easy it would be for her to get inside Evita's head. And Evita was pure Promoter all the way. I was watching her career with fascination at the time, being 13 and in serious need of role models of strong women.
