Bruce Lee

[Totenkindly]

Before reading anything in this thread, my read of him was always ISTP.

One has to be careful to not say that N's can't operate in S domains, nor S in N domains.
It's more a matter of natural preference and honed skill than inability to perceive anything at all.

As far as martial arts go, I think you see far more of an E(f)P presentation in Jackie Chan, for example.

To be clear, I have always thought ISTP. I found the PerC thread quite humorous. Because he is poetic, he can't possibly be ISTP.... lol.

I thought he was supposed to be the ISFP poster boy.

I can agree with you... Interesting that it's hard to distinguish...
I think perhaps ESTP, but that martial arts and him being from an asian culture plays a role in making him seem introspective.
He's a huuuuuuuuuuge show-off, though, and really freaking Se-oriented.

That video is god damned amazing.

Bruce Lee - self-controlled (both physically and emotionally, no impulsiveness here); extraordinarily compact energy that constantly seeks outlets through trouble-shooting challenging situations; huge stubborn streak and big ego to match; carries a natural aura of dominance or superiority; Oldham's Vigilant type; problems with mother-figure; quick to anger, seeks vengeance, but then just as quickly forgets the slight that caused it; can find his opponents' weak spots at a glance; selects the social ideal in a mate; Asian stoic type; seeks transformation through transcendence of personal weaknesses (basically childhood abandonment issues); detests criticism from others; learning social graces comes slowly (e.g., an unintentionally graceless honesty); ANSIR Sentinel/Scintillator/Idealist; deftly capable of handling responsibilities, even unchosen burdens are carried with a stubbornly stoic acceptance; makes up his own set of rules; Riso counter-phobic 6W5; ISTP.

Nice site! It adds a helpful face picture to the usual cast of celebrity typings found in typology books. I looked for the long-faced N's and the round-faced S's and found quite a few that matched their somatotypes. Immanual Kant may have been an INTJ and not INTP - extraordinary iq, extremely rigid doctrinaire, he had such a tight daily schedule that the people in his town adjusted their clocks according to his routine.

Oh come on. I already had to hear a Ti type earlier claim the enneagram tritype theory is as elegant as E=mc2. Now N's have long faces. What next? I have some other "long" body parts. Want to type me on those?

I researched the Ti quote you're referring to in that tritypes thread. Was it this one? "Enneagram has not been built by an architect, it has benn discovered, like E=MC² or any sort of mathematc formula."

I don't see any reference to elegance there. It says the Enneagram was discovered.

That in itself is questionable - you don't have to add to it - because the ultimate origins of the Enneagram are unknown. So nobody can say for certain if it was built or discovered.

I know what VI is. There are multiple theories, and they go beyond long and round faces. Some revolve around neutral expressions, eyes, posture, etc.. Some think that you can't get to the bottom of it without video. The very type galleries that were originally the springboard for these theories don't show obvious similarities either (this also goes without mentioning that not all of those types clearly correspond with MBTI). Ekaterina Filatova had happened to take pictures of people in her consultings with people, but she had never proposed anything about VI. It was others who took her photos and ran with the idea.

Secondly, Socionics.com is run only by one guy.. who isn't one of the main researchers behind any of it. He's just the first person who set up a website in the west.

As for the Ti comment, I'm just making a joke. I expect you guys to be less lazy.

I'm not him, I'm me.

I saw a similar criticism on a socionics forum. The answer was that there don't have to be obvious similarities, and that the trick is to look beneath the surface features. So the "obvious" aspects of a face are supposed to be ignored anyway.

Edit- thanks for the link, those faces are hilarious!

 

[wolfy]

Me too! I think its because of wolfy

I relate a bit more to Jackie Chan. So I changed my avatar to avoid confusing people. I agree with Jennifer that Lee seems to be more stp and Chan sfp.
