Wtf Ezra Miller is literally Ne personified how can you not see that?! A very, very obvious ENFP.

Anonymous said to mbti-sorted: Most of the time Ezra Miller doesn’t even care about what he’s
wearing and when he gets asked about it he normally answers with
something not really related to his outfit. The main thing he talks
about is how he doesn’t buy clothes first hand because the textile
industry is wasteful. His random assortments of clothing don’t look out
of place because they match his all over the place Ne personality.

But isn’t monarchy and similar social cultures focused on proper behavior and knowing social customs, how to behave, and being good at manipulating how an environment feels? My friends who grew up waspy have an ability to know when the smallest thing is meant to be an insult, being one example. Doesn’t that sound like unhealthy Fe?

 Hm.. I’m not entirely sure I understand the angle you’re coming at this from, but basically, the monarchy is a leadership position.  Any function that can make you a good leader (see: every function) has the possibility to make you a good monarch.

And likewise, all the functions have the possibility of contributing to your failure as well.  Finding the right balance for your particular situation is probably the key.

For example, knowing when people insult you is great for navigating social
situations, but can also be the cause of great anxiety… how you deal
with it means a lot.  Sometimes it’s easier to be completely oblivious.

I think that the tone gets set by whoever’s in charge, so if they decide not to reward emotionally manipulative behaviour, then they will have less of it around them (and not openly).  And if they are, themselves, emotionally manipulative, it will be an acceptable way for the people around them to gain power – which tends to make for a volatile leadership style.

Since most monarchies are not elected positions, it is often the case that the person who ends up inheriting does not want or is not suited to the role.  But it is also equally likely that you end up with people who would not choose to seek out the power, but turn out to be very good at the job, nonetheless.

It makes for interesting leaders, in an MBTI sense.  Most leaders of countries who have chosen the position (democracies, dictactorships, etc.) are ETs, with the occasional EF or ISTJ.  But if you just happen to be the first-born of your family, that opens it up to any type, like the INFP King of Monaco.

I find it so amusing that you described Ezra Miller as stylish when his physical presentation is usually so kind of awkwardly uncoordinated hahaha. Anyway, I’m not sure how much convincing you need to see he’s an ENFP and not an ESFP but each to their own I guess. He’s just way too comfortable with N stuff for it to be learned behaviour and most of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is riddled with Ne/Fi

Lol, okay. By stylish I don’t mean always looks great according to my personal standards.  I mean he has three to five different items of clothing from different eras and cuts and fabrics and patterns, and assembles them into one outfit that fits, coordinates colours and textures, coordinates with accessories, shoes, hair and make-up, and manages to look like it’s not out of place on a red carpet. 

Like, either that is a person who spends hours every day on clothes, between shopping for them and trying them on, or that is a person with an insane visual memory (Se).  I’m guessing a little of the former, but a lot of the latter. 

As a person who has spent a lot of time talking myself down from buying random clothes that don’t go with anything else just because they make me happy, I can tell you that it is an insanely difficult way to build a wardrobe of wearable clothing.

Neil Degrasse Tyson is usually typed as an ENFJ, and honestly I think this makes sense. I think a big reason why he’s as successful as he’s been is because of his Fe charm. He has a way of explaining complex theories (Ni) in a way that is easily understood and accessible to others (Fe). I think he wields Fe very naturally in conversation and has a certain NFJ calmness to him, unlike the NTP bounciness.

Hm.  I disagree with ENFJ.

can you type someone if they don´t speak english?

Ish.  Not really a language thing, but I can sometimes type people from body language alone, if they are a perfect physical match in some way for someone I’m already sure about.

Or if there’s a bunch of people performing, say, one sport at at the Olympics (like sprinting, or long distance running), I can sometimes pick out some of the types based on comparative similarities and differences in performance style.  It’s harder if I can’t see faces or bodies – group sports where it’s difficult to focus on specific players or sports with helmets or masks, or full-body gear.

It’s pretty flukey, though, so I prefer to let it happen when it happens. 

Actively trying to type people who speak different languages is complicated because of cultural cues and norms that I second-guess or miss entirely.  It’s a massive time waster for me at the moment, unfortunately, but maybe someday…
