I watched Hannibal rising last night and I did my first "Successful" typing.
I typed him as an INTJ whilst watching that film, and just checked it out now and I was right. (well according to some sites)
I will explain my thought process so you can have a laugh and how I broke it down.
Introvert, well that was obvious as he spends his childhood in the orphanage in silence, never speaking except when he would dream and shout out loud about his sister.
He goes on still a very silent and withdrawn character, making contact with his aunt by marriage, and still very quiet and soft spoken even after bonding with her.
The only reason I pegged him as iNtuitive, is because of the withdrawn dream like state he always seemed to be in, I am not very good at splitting S from N, but it struck me on a personal level that an introverted S type would still be more focused on the here and now, and be less stuck in a dream of the past? plus introverted S types that I know are more talkative, either way SCORE for me, I got it right.
The T, well who else could kill with such cold and efficient callousness, mastering biology in order to use it for that task? I can see an F being brutal, but the rage would be much less controlled I think.
J, well he just couldn't forgive, couldn't be reasoned with, couldn't let go of what he believed was the best way forward, plus he followed through, if you were next you were next, the plans always came to fruition.
Now I know the way I got to the typing was strange, but what matters is that I was right, I was right, I was right.........
(On a side note, what a sad film, what a horrific thing that happened to his sister, when I was watching it, it struck me that even if he had been an F child, the moment they killed and ate his sister, they killed the F within him, the officer says "The young boy Hannibal died out there that day, his heart died the moment they killed his sister, what he is I do not know, it is a monster" (or like that), what do you think?)
