Communication Styles in TV Interviews

[yogurtexpress]

I've been observing the body language, facial expressions, and communication styles of MBTI types in interviews. I've documented the results below using basic descriptive adjectives.

Of all the types, I've found that INFJs, ESFJs and ISFJs are the most at ease in TV interviews. ESTPs were the most defensive and confrontational (watch any interview with Trump and you'll see what I mean).

INFPs, ISTJs, and ESFPs were the most ill-suited for interviews. INFPs get so caught up in their imaginations that they have difficulty being natural and conversational in interviews. ISTJs are totally anthtithetical to fame and attention. ESFPs seem to be totally opposed to even the concept of a formal interview (see Tarantino spazzing out here: YouTube).

However, when they have the opportunity to be themselves and explain their modus operandi, they're very effective (see any interview with Tony Robbins).

ISFPs bizarrely come off exactly the same in their interviews as they do in their art. This is because, unlike INFPs, they can use Extraverted Sensing to better express their inner world.

INTPs bizarrely rely entirely on their shadow functions and come off as business-like INTJs in interviews (I'm basing this off of a few interviews I watched with Jesse Eisenberg, Jimmy Wales, and Sergey Brin, where they all came off as anything but casual). Naturally, you would think they would be as neurotic on camera as INFPs, but I guess as NTs, they found a better way of masking it.
