It's hard to type someone as unhealthy as he was, but I thought he was more of an NTP. He might have been emotional, but I don't think Fi was on his mind. Kind of like John Lennon, who was capable of a lot of passion.. but another possible NTP, I think.
I would probably catagorize Jared Leto and Paul Banks from Interpol as the hottest famous guys I can think of.
I think the content of his lyrics are Fi/Se/Ni, not Ne/Fi. "Open your eyes, push yourself inside, contemplate
all of your senses." I really want to say that he's Ni.
An ISFP who is nearly 40 years old would have a hell of a lot of more Ni development than a 20 year old ISFP in
most cases.
ISFPs are extroverted introverts like ENFPs are introverted extroverts, so that could explain what you think is
him being "chatty."
I agree that his lyrics can be pretty conceptual, and I believe that ENFP is the next likely type for him after
ISFP. There's a whole thread about this, though, in the popular culture "type me" section.
Looks like I'm a little late in the game again. I always end up in dead threads
Hmmm, I'm not any good at delving so deep into the functions.
Could you clarify?
Although Jared's not a speed talker, he is fairly long winded, while ISFP's (in my experience with them) are prone to fragments and choppy speech. Talking just comes too easily for him.
Yeah, I can't help but comparing Jared's lyrics to Michael Jackson's (who I believe is an ISFP): Michael's songs are pretty straight forward while Jared leaves room for interpretation; Michael focuses on relaying events while Jared expresses vague concepts. And because Michael's music is so simple/concrete, it's universal... I definitely wouldn't describe Jared's music in such a way.
Still, I wouldn't be shocked if he came out as ISFP. It would make sense that he's borderline on the two letters we're disagreeing on.
A minor point... he likes deadpan, as I'm used to seeing in ENFP's... I find ISFP humor more simple and silly.
I know I'm not saying anything too significant here, but anyone have any thoughts on all this?
And this is just for fun

"So Jared, I hear you're an ISFP. Heh, well so am I. Let's compare our ISFPness. We should hook up, yes?"
You should ask to compare if his P-ness is bigger than yours. That would be a good ice breaker.
