Rowan Atkinson

[dynamiteninja]

Comedian/Actor: Mr Bean, Blackadder, Johnny English

INFJ

 

[Jack Flak]

Seems N primary to me, so I'd say INxP.

 

[entropie]

needs an inventive mind to come up with all the jokes in monthy pythons flying circus. Together with john cleese as intj, why not entp ?

Rowan Atkinson wasn't in Monty Python.

 

[entropie]

he was not ? uh

 

[dynamiteninja]

Besides, I find it highly unlikely he is an Extrovert. His degree was in Electrical Engineering or something like that and he would spend hours and hours just tinkering with stuff like that. At Oxford, when he joined the Sketch group, he didn't say a word for the first few meet-ups, as such he was referring to as a cushion because he'd just sit there and not do anything. He's also notoriously private. He is also very introverted personally until he has an inspiring script in front of him, when he comes to life.

 

[Mort Belfry]

Definitely introverted and intuitive, probably Enneagram 5. Once said he loves being in Vegas, not to play, but to watch people. Seems attracted to parts with high Fi (Mr Bean(INFP), Rat Race(ESFP) or high Ti (school principal sketch INTX, Blackadder(XNTP). I know he has quite a car collection, so Se?

I don't know what all this adds up to, but my first guess was INTJ. But I could conceivably lean towards INFJ.

Now I'm thinking INTP.

 

[dynamiteninja]

Well the reason I lean towards INFJ is how passionately he fought a UK law change which would have made it difficult for comedians to make fun of religions or something like that.

 

[Mort Belfry]

I think that's something I could get passionate about.

That's a meager reason if I've heard one, and I've heard many.

Yeah I know.

Well yeah .. Tinkering and stuff, being real quite unequals Extroversion. There we go again, the neverending story

I don't agree with dyna's differentiation scheme myself, but I do think Atkinson is I, just from watching him work.

Like I said before, when you watch an ENTP comedian work, they're very aware of and concerned with the audience, while an INTP focuses on the material more, in comparison.

ENFP

 

[Geoff]

He seems so talented with character details and inspired from his normal quietness to a great performance, I'd go with some sort of SP. Maybe ISTP or ISFP.

I also know he's a collector of classic cars.. really into it.

 

[Geoff]

Looks like I was right : ISTP

PersonalityDesk - Learning Center - ISTP in Careers, Relationships, Leadership, Parenting

 

[dynamiteninja]

Okay, ISTP.

 

[Jack Flak]

That site can't even spell Chuck Yeager's name right, how are they supposed to type Rowan Atkinson?

Between ISTP and INTP, he's INTP.

 

[Geoff]

Yeah maybe... if you search for Rowan and ISTP, he's listed as such on a few sites.. so maybe it comes from a real test?
