Seriously, Fight Club is my Bible.

Tastey tastey marxism! (I agree though, it makes sense, lets destroy some corporate art)

Narrator (Also referred to as Jack on and off) - INFP/J
Tyler - ES/NTP (He seems N-like though, very much thinking of the future.
Martha - INFP maybe?

Since Tyler Durden is a split personality of the narrator, shouldn't Durden be the 'shadow' form of the narrator?

Everyone is saying that Durden is EXTP, which means that the narrator should be an IXFJ. Key thing to figure out I think, is to decide whether or not who is intuitive or sensing orientated and switch it for the opposing personality.

My guess is that Durden is ENTP and the narrator is ISFJ.

Tyler Durden = ENTP

Tyler Durden is obviously Te, Ni and Se. No Ne whatsoever coming outta him.

I agree about the Ni and Se, but I think I see more Fe than Te. His whole manipulation of the Narrator was very Fe.

They do have Ni, but as you said it's their inferior function so it is very (the most) draining for them - Se dom's just don't have the energy to push forward with change/creation/destruction of society or systems like Ni doms (Ni doms have Ni as there lead and most stimulating function).

J is not equal to predictability - especially in dominant Ni's.

That's bullshit, but nice try. I like how people think they know so much about other types :laughing:

Tyler - ESTP 7w8 sx/so
The Narrator - ISFJ 6w5 sp/sx
Marla - INFP 4w5 sx/sp

I'm sorry but Tyler is ENTP. People keep saying "well what if Tyler isn't deep" or "Tyler is too impulsive" but the fact is that Tyler is very similar to Joker, the whole plan is dedicated for the future of events to change. The whole outline is chaos, the ENTPs true self. Yes an ESTP can talk deep and may not be deep but the fact is when the ESTP talks deep it's for the convincing of others around him. An ENTP we want the the true nature of humans, we want to change people to their chaotic sides. we feel only pushing someone to their limits can bring upon the true change of someones self. The ESTP doesn't go in that deep with others. Tyler has much more to him than most want to see, but you have to analyze him from every point, not just the outside appearance, but true motives. This is why typology is looked down upon because people only see the outer layer, not the in depth purpose.

Tyler Durdin: ESFP counter phobic 6w7 Sx/So
Edward Norton's character: INFJ 6w5 Sp/Sx
Marla: ISTP 7w8 Sx/So (I could see her being any XXXP type, but ISTP seems to fit well)

I definitely agree with Norton being an INFJ; he always plays INFJs - I think he is one himself.

Marla I'm not so sure about. I thought she was supposed to be an INFP. I thought she was an Fi manipulative type, so I'd agree about the P. Maybe she's even an ENFP.

Tyler uses Fe like an Fe user, so I don't think he's an ESFP. He certainly uses a lot of Se and Ni. But in watching him in the beginning, when he first talks to the narrator, I get a sense that he uses Fe in his top two. That whole conversation was like like listening to two Ni/Fe users talk about their original ideologies (Ni) about people and society (Fe). I could be projecting though.

Fe is much more manipulative than Fi ^v^
I could see any clear cognitive functions from Marla, so you could be right.
you may be right about Tyler Durdin though, he does seem like an Fe user

ed nortons character - intj, maybe istj
tyler durden - estp
marla - infp

Tyler Durden - ENTJ
Edward Norton's character - INFJ

I didn't get any read of cognitive functions from Marla either. I think the actress, Carter, is an Fe user though, so perhaps the character is supposed to use it. And she does seem to use Fe in the meetings. Maybe she was the female mirror image of the narrator, INFJ. One thing I feel strongly is that she's an NF.

The Narrator - ISTP
Tyler Durden - ENFJ
Marla - ENFP/INFP

Have a read of this:

narrator:INFJ Tyler: INFJ shadow ESTP ...they are one and the same person, remember. :ninja:

This is probably one of the most over rated movies of all time, I still think it's good though.Ii loved it the first time I saw it not as good when I saw it more recently. I think Tyler is an ENTP, the narrator ISFJ and ISFP for Marla which is more of a guess, I can see Fi for her though.

Tyler is in my opinion an ENTP enneagram 8w7. I concur that Marla is an Fi type and ISFP seems more likely for her than INFP. Enneagram 4w3. I also think the narrator is more likely ISFJ than ISTJ. 6w5.
