anonymous asked: Okay I know it was just a guess and not based on empirical evidence but I HAVE TO ask: What made you guess ISTP for Jesus. I always see people guess INFJ or ENFJ! ISTP is very interesting! (I adore your blog btw!) ♡

IZ: Too cool? He could also have been an ESTP? He was an activist? INFJs and ENFJs are not very in-your-face activists. Is Mag Ruffman going to anger the Romans by enthusiastically promoting the trades? No, she is very obviously really nice and just scary/inept with a chainsaw. The Romans would have had trouble taking NFJ anger seriously. They obviously took Jesus seriously. He seemed to really enjoy debate? The Romans clearly did not appreciate this about him. He had followers? People tend to follow people with whom they strongly relate. There are more STPs than NFJs and you could argue that STPs are more relatable leaders to more people. More people who present themselves using self-aggrandizing names like “Son of God” (sarcastically or seriously) are in the ESTP tag; for example, Kanye West (Yeezus), Madonna (Madonna).

MS: Also the aesthetic – I am not up on the context of the long hair/robes/sandals vibe for the time, but it’s not a very J-type look. Agreed that he could have been an ESTP. (Actually, that is probably more likely.)

anonymous asked: You typed Princess Diana as an ESTJ and that she lacked most of the characteristics of dominant Fi. Other than being aware of her own feelings. What would be the characteristics of dominant Fi that she was lacking? Thank you.

IZ: She seems to have high extroverted thinking. She has stiff, awkward body movement. She is very cagey and quick witted when put on the spot and a lot smarter than the press often made her out to be. Consider most successful Princesses by marriage are ESTJs and ESFJs.

anonymous asked: Mark Hamill reminds me of Dylan Sprouse,Zec Efron and Sebastian Stan so is he an ESFP?

IZ: Yoda grows frustrated with young Skywalker’s difficulty in getting out of his head and into his body to feel the force. Coincidence?

anonymous asked: What do you think is the biggest misconception about each type?

IZ: That sounds like a time-consuming, large-scale study.

MS: I tend to think most of the big misconceptions are less about people not getting other people and more about basing information on people who are not well typed.

(Says the person salty enough to run a blog about it…)

movielover2513 asked: Would you be willing to consider INTP for frank ocean. In the same vein as st.Vincent or rooney mara

IZ: No. He swears too much.

movielover2513 asked: I’m here to present brad Pitt possible istp. In accordance with what you said about istps appearing like isfjs. Also brad Pitt gives me ryan gosling vibes

IZ: He gives me Blair Underwood vibes.

anonymous asked: Hi, I was just wondering if you could recommend two people to compare videos of, to get a better sense of the difference between intp’s and entp’s?

IZ: Since they were on the same show and may be viewed together, often and in similar contexts, how about David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry?

MS: There’s also a set of brothers: Nathaniel and Simon Rich, although I don’t think they appear in videos together.

anonymous asked: Is what we find funny type-specific? Could you maybe give us a rundown on what each type’s sense of humour is like? Thanks and have a great day! :D

IZ: What people find funny may also be personal, contextual, culturally learned, etc., and not only type specific.

anonymous asked: are all male estps fuckboys

IZ: This sounds like a PhD dissertation

MS: My first reaction was “Not all ESTP men– *violent cringe”. So, that happened. Probably the first step here is clarifying the definition of fuckboy.

anonymous asked: Could you give some reasoning as to why you think jack white is an istp? Sometimes I feel he could be an intuitive but I’m not sure. His writing and ideas do seem to be somewhat abstract. I’ve been wondering about this and I can’t seem to get it off my mind.

Anonymous said to mbti-sorted: I’ve read that istp’s prefer to not theorize very often and Jack White seems to theorize a lot. His idea that the blues represents the truth thus all music is just a different form of the blues is one example. He does seem pretty adept at Se but I wonder if his Ni and Fe would be higher in his functional stack making him an infj. What do you think?

IZ: He has opinions and ideas – which is not necessarily the same as having a focus on being theoretically sound. He mentions an abstract concept, “The Truth” like it’s a real thing. A lot of SPs will say things like that, often without any sense of irony. That type of statement makes an INFJ’s brain hurt.
