Sting (The Police)

[spirilis]

How about Mr. Gordon Sumner? (Sting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Lead singer of The Police, did solo work afterward. Something about his lyrics and music feels NF to me, or at least very much F...


example songs-
Message in a Bottle
Roxanne
Don't Stand So Close To Me

I believe he is an infj. What do you think?

I believe he is an infj. What do you think?

Agreed

Likely an F-type, although I would hesitate to consider his lyrics nearly as introspective of NF repertoire like Bono's.

On the other hand, my judgment is clouded by rumors of Mr. Sumner's 1) marathon-length lovemaking sessions and 2) latter-day Police relationship with Stewart Copeland that had so deteriorated that Copeland wrote "F--- you, c--t" on his snare so he could smack Sting in effigy several hundred times a night.

I love the sounds of Walking In Your Footsteps. That's my favourite.

INFJ has been my best guess for a while. Love his stuff (still haven't dove into his solo work much yet... just the stuff he wrote for The Police)

2) latter-day Police relationship with Stewart Copeland that had so deteriorated that Copeland wrote "F--- you, c--t" on his snare so he could smack Sting in effigy several hundred times a night.

THAT is hilarious! I've also suspected that Stewart Copeland is an ESTP, so that would make for a very rocky friendship between those two.

Copeland is textbook ESFP

Sting, ISTx.

Okay, he's ISTJ. He could be, anyway. I should watch some interviews. Not right now though, give me time.

 

[Bella]

Okay. *very excited*
And why do you say S and not N?

 

[lookingglassworld]

I'm not

 

[lookingglassworld]

I'm not as familiar with his later work but consider his lyrics in Desert Rose. Possibilities!!

Okay, I will watch some interviews, edit this post, and tell you what I think.

Add: The last two videos feature more Sting.

YouTube - Police in Viña Del Mar (Chile) 2-19-1982 - Interview 1 of 2

YouTube - Sting Interview 1983

YouTube - Sting - Brand New Day (Interview)

ISTJ. Thinking/Sensing/Introvert. Certainty 9/10.

 

[Bella]

'k!

 

[Bella]

Are you just saying that?

 

[Jack Flak]

Are you just saying that?

No, I'm basically certain of ISTJ, but it wouldn't be prudent to say 10/10. That's for God to decide.

Good point you have there Mr Flak, good point! But for now.....

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT:​

Sting and I are now officially the coolest people I know.​

 

[Jack Flak]

I think there's a good chance Andy Summers is INTP. Sting's ISTJ-ness comes through pretty hardcore in this video.
