I am not a golf fan, but we all know Tiger Woods and his personal life being plastered in the media for months now. Although I remain highly suspect of typing others, it has been speculated that Tiger Woods is ISTP, on websites such as this. The theory of what triggers grip episodes remains questionable, but I have always proposed it starts with the user violating a core value of the inferior function (4th). As a result the user goes into a grip and theoretically takes on negative behavior of their shadow function.
If Tiger Woods is ISTP as suggested, Fe would be his inferior function. His having the affairs directly violates the core values of Fe-dom as the guardian of our morals and values toward other people and what is expected as common decency. His performance as a golfer has been at best lackluster, but now is worsening. Tiger Woods was to have said of his poor performance at Bridgestone this week, was due to a lack of practice because he was spending time and more focus on his children and family. This is commendable, but shows a clear priority change for Tiger Woods. Based on his priority, he appears to be focusing on what may be considered ESTJ-ish (or at least SJ) matters. As we know ESTJ is the shadow type of ISTP.
Are we witnessing in Tiger Woods, how an ISTP may behave in a full blown “in the grip” episode? Has anyone witnessed what triggered other types to go into the grip and whether they became bad replicas of their shadow types? I have edited my final statement, but folks we know that his behavior was not conducive to what we expect, so try to refrain from focusing on whether his behavior was inappropriate and more on how this is type related.
