Why do people type this guy as an ESTP? He seems more of an ENTJ to me.

ESTP seems the obvious typing.

ENTJ could work as well. you'd pretty much have to be one or the other in order to get to the place he is in the real estate business...

so, what's your evidence that he's an N?

he seems *very* focused only on the present - suggesting SP.

I kind of love Donald Trump because hes unapologetic, direct, and honest about what he is. For example, when asked if he was marrying his wife for his looks, he responded with 'of course, and she's marrying me for my money'

lol, that's funny that he says stuff like that. Ted Turner says a lot of shit like that as well. That's why I love both of them.

I favor ESTP over ENTJ, personally. He seems to want to be doing things personally, be involved in details.
 
#4 ·
I was saying ENTJ because he seems to have a powerful Te function. I know that he's not an ESTJ though. He seems to organized, structured, and efficient to be a P.

Good then I'm not the only one then?

Nope. I agree as well. Trump is an ENTJ with a very strong tertiary Se, which makes him seem more S-ish.

Lol at the notion of determining the "strength" of one's "tertiary Jungian function," esp. as opposed to, say, concluding that said tertiary function were primary or secondary. It's quite a lot of fun you guys have.

Anyway, based on some more references, I think it's more likely Trump's ESTP than I did before.

So I was watching "The Apprentice" last night and I'm about 100% sure that he's ENTJ now. The guy would get pissed off when the people couldn't make quick, objective decisions. This is classic Te to me. Te gets pissed off when you spend too much time contemplating options, and I've seen this in real life. Also, when the Don makes a decision, it is final and set in stone. This is also classic Te at work.

INTP, which is same as Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg; Donald seems like an introvert. His interviewer in the video appears ENTP.

Where is Donald Trump's Ne I ask you? Where?

Donald is an ENTJ. I read in a few places he was an ESTP which could make sense also, although ENTJ fits him better i think.

Yeah, I was thinking of ESTJ as well, but I thought that ENTJ fit better. I don't give a damn what anyone says though, he's not ESTP!

ENTJ would be someone like Daniel Tosh or Jim Carrey; Donald Trump simply does not talk like them, and his speaking style is closer to that of Bill Gates'.
 
#27 ·
- Jim Carey is 7w6; Donald Trump is 8w7. of course they have dissimilar speaking styles.
- Bill Gates is an ENTJ too, so it's a case against your point
- speaking style is only one factor in determining type (my speaking style can range from any of the Fi/Te user types depending on my mood. I sound like an ENTJ quite frequently IRL)

He's ESTP

The OP mentioned at the start that he's too organized to be a P. ESTP's are probably the most practical and efficient of the P's. They get so much done because they do it when it comes to them immediately, they don't need to plan, there is an immediate problem and Se identifies it and brings into perspective all the available information that can be put to use now, Ti sorts through this objectively and the most viable option is fed back through the loop and Se's desire for immediate action and making things happen gets it done.

Also there was a mention to the fact that Te dislikes people contemplating too much. I say to to that have you met an Se dom with Ti Aux. They hate contemplation more than anything. It's all about "yeah yeah hurry up and get to the fucking point. What's the point in what your trying to say? And how does it affect me? And how can I put it to use? A vibe I always get when I interact with ESTP's. ENTJ would be my next best bet as I definitely think that no other type suits him, neither ENTP nor ESTJ, but ESTP sticks out the most.

An ISTJ would be someone like Harrison Ford or Anthony Hopkins, and Mitt Romney is different from them.

Why do ESTJs have to be aggressive? Actually, most of the ones that I know are not aggressive. Same goes for most of the ENTJs I know. Once again, this exemplifies how fruitless typing behavior is. I would say Mitt is an ESTJ, because he doesn't have a very coherent personal values system - that's his biggest weakness that he gets called out on (inferior Fi - LOL, it's like his detractors are better at typing him than people here). Most of the ISTJs I know are stronger in this area and more consistent. Actually ESTJ is an interesting idea for Donald Trump - I really can't tell what his aux/tert functions are - somehow, I'm thinking he uses Se over Ne, but I'm not sure.

@Sparky

It's not the imaginative part, I'm talking about: It's the speed at which they come up with these jokes. It seems to fast for an Ni user. Also where is their Te?

@Sporadic Aura

I agree that Donald leads with Te. I could easily see him being ESTJ as well.

The speed at which they come up with jokes or talk is probably due to being extroverted, not Ni, and also due to scripting for actor and planning for show host.

I now think Donald Trump is INTJ. His personality appears like George S. Patton's. Also, Mark Zuckerberg might be INTJ as well.

I read one of his books and he gives off this supportive Fe air. Warm, yet not entirely so. I could see ESTP but ENTJ with unusually high Se could fit too. Definitely 8w7 though

Haven't paid much attention to him in recent years (except for all the stupid political crap he seems to shoot his mouth off about nowadays), but he would scan as ESTP to me when I'd see him on The Apprentice -- and 8w7 sounds pretty good. He was definitely a "gut center" person, using logic to buttress it.

It seems to fit better (cognitive functions and otherwise), and his behavior or demeanor is very similar to other INTJ.

Srsly??

He's not introverted, just from watching him. And he also can't seem to keep his mouth shut, even when his kids are advising him to keep his mouth shut.

I don't know where you get these reads from.


If you are the owner of celebritytypes.com, you can find similarities among people of a type, and correct the inconsistencies, like typing Natalie Portman as ISTJ instead of INFJ.


Oh, Natalie's an INFJ now too?

I'll split the difference with you and call ISFJ. Give that one a look for a bit.

As an interesting point about Portman, she seems to need a director to tell her what to do. She's pretty abysmal in films where she seemingly gets little direction, and then (in movies like Closer and Black Swan) can pull off an amazing performance when the director is coaching her and coaxing out what he needs.

Everything I've ever seen him in leads me to believe he leads with Te.
I can definetly see the Se though, but it doesn't seem to be higher than tertiary.
I always thought Bill Gates was INTP? @Sparky why do you keep switching opinions on peoples types? And why do you keep comparing them to others? Honestly, you can do that and look at the functions to determine type. You also have been insinuating that you work closely or know some of these celebrities. You also even said something that made me think that you own celebritytypes.com?

The Donald is imo pretty clear ESTP, he says whatever makes the most striking immediate impact without thinking too much about long term applicability(like his ban on Muslims entering the US).

Throughout his life he was a high octane risk-taker who won big and loss big too.
