[The Great One]

Okay so I read that this guy is ENTJ. There is absolutely no way in hell that this guy is an ENTJ. I vote for ENFP. Who's with me?

 

[The Great One]

I see what you mean, but I think that is the character he plays. I think ENTP.

That guy is no T. He's definitely an F.

 

[The Great One]

In the book "Personality Type: An Owner's Manual", Lenore Thomson uses Jim Carey as her ENTP example.

Who gives a damn what one woman types him. Where is the Ti in him? Show me the Ti.

 

[The Great One]

Erm... Lenore Thomson quite literally wrote the book on modern Jungian typology. Hers is one of the principal methodologies used for typing, so if she claims someone to be a certain type, they probably are that type, at least by her method of typing.

Though I don't necessarily buy her typology method, which is why I typed him an F.

I don't give a damn. David Kiersey is huge in the MBTI field as well and he typed Teddy Roosevelt as an ESTP, when if you really do research he is an ENTP. I could give less of a damn what that woman says.

 

[The Great One]

Teddy was actually probably ESTP. JFK was more of an ENTP.

And Keirsey is a huge ***. I did mention that you have to buy into someone's type theory to buy their typings didn't I? There really isn't an objective method of typology, because ultimately typology is arbitrary -- a fact which actually kinda pisses me off, but is no less true for that.

A couple things I found on Theodore Roosevelt.....

He would later recall that in the middle of Mathematics classes at Harvard, his mind would wander from his lessons to the accomplishments of the infant US Navy.

though as I had an imaginative temperament this sometimes made up for my other short-comings.

He did well in science, philosophy and rhetoric courses but fared poorly in Latin and Greek. He studied biology with great interest and indeed was already an accomplished naturalist and published ornithologist

He was an eloquent conversationalist who, throughout his life, sought out the company of the smartest people. He could multitask in extraordinary fashion, dictating letters to one secretary and memoranda to another, while browsing through a new book.

I read some articles on Theodore Roosevelt and think that these comments all point to him being more of an ENTP.
