Eminem?

[swordpath]

A homophobe who is a very close friend of Elton John?

Yeah, Eminem stated in an interview that he was close to Elton John, however he takes a shot at him in a lyric from his latest album. I was all like

Shawty dance while I diss you to the beat, f**k the words
You don't listen to 'em anyway, yeah struck a nerve sucker
Motherf**ker might aswell let my lips pucker
Like Elton John, cause I'm just a mean cock sucker

Also, Eminem is sober in his latest album and a bit more honest and personal about his life... Maybe it'd be easier to type him this time around, based on the lyrical content?

He is somewhere in the NF area. And Eminem often isn't to be taken too serious.

 

[nozflubber]

I still don't understand how anyone can draw anything but ESTP from his behavior and lyrics. It's like some of you haven't even spotted one IRL or something. ISTP doesn't even fit right because of their aversion to causing shitstorms.

 

[You]

ESTP?

 

[nozflubber]

Yes. There ARE ESTPs out there, you know, and em fits that glove. it'd be nice if y'all would actually try to guess ESTP once in awhile... you know, just to pretend you understand all the types

 

[You]

You mean, there are more types than NFs??

 

[nozflubber]

yeah, i know it's a shock to you and others here but tis true!!

Not every lyricist and poet out there is an NF.

 

[Afkan]

Yes. There ARE ESTPs out there, you know, and em fits that glove. it'd be nice if y'all would actually try to guess ESTP once in awhile... you know, just to pretend you understand all the types

Eminem has too much pent up rage to be ESTP. End of story.

Edit: Just read the thread. It's almost enough to make one give up on MBTI, isn't it?

Fuck me, haha, oh God, if only I was high. Wait, wait, let me get high and listen to that again.

ENFP.

INTJ

 

[Thalassa]

Did you just do that to be funny, Beat?

 

[Aleksei]

I actually think he's ENTJ. His humor is very Se in nature, the way he conducts his business is rather reminiscent of Te and Ni, and he's an attention whore -- clear extrovert. The only thing that gives me pause is how emotionally charged many of his lyrics are, but his emotional spats seem to be linked to a state of distress (they're all about trauma in his life), which would fit with inferior Fi.

ENTJ, 6w7 sp/so.

OMFG Eminem is not an extrovert - have you ever even witnessed him just being Marshall Mathers???, you do realize that introverts can be performers, right? - and he does have Fi. But I think INTJ is a ridiculous stretch for him.

Introverts can be performers. Introverts cannot be chronic and consistent attention whores - consistent attention whoring implies a desire for constant attention.

and he does have Fi. But I think INTJ is a ridiculous stretch for him.

How so? It fits how he conducts himself and his career perfectly (Ni and Te does, anyway).

 

[swordpath]

Nope, although I lack any argument to back my guess.

 

[Aleksei]

Nope, although I lack any argument to back my guess.

I'll handle that part.

 

[swordpath]

You're my boy, Blue!

 

[Thalassa]

You're my boy, Blue!

Yeah, about that....you might want to find someone else to support your type arguments.

 

[swordpath]

It's Blue.... It's not like I'm expecting much.
