Joe Rogan Personality Type – ESTP

ESTP

Well first of all – sorry Joe Rogan this was the only photo I could pull due to copywright’s and all and I didn’t just want to snag a photo off your instagram.

So this post is an update actually, I learned over time that Joe is an ESTP and NOT an ENTP. Yeah I know, rookie mistake. Joe neutralizes conversations with his guests using dominant Se, Extraverted Sensing – taking turns and reacting to guest cues. This fuels what he’s aspires to do which is Ni, Introverted Intuition, a deep understanding on the subject. We’ve seen it come out many times during his podcast.

Denzel Washington Personality Type – ENFJ

ENFJ

Denzel Washington, I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like Denzel. From the days of “Glory”, “Ricochet” and “Crimson Tide” to “The book of Eli” and “Equalizer” – Denzel has displayed a 360 view of what an ENFJ is like, but in Denzel’s body. Now I’ve heard sources say ENTJ, ENTP, INFJ, with ISTJ being the most popular vote. Really? No. Denzel does not have Fi / Ne, he has Fe / Ni. Nuff said.

ENFJ’s are versatile and sometimes I feel like an ENFJ’s is good amount of other personality types smashed into one. I just don’t see ENTJ and ENTP in Denzel, and definitely not INFJ.

Extraverted feeling is Denzel’s dominant function and many people take the feeling part in the wrong way. Extraverted feeling is what give Denzel the ability to make decisions based on the external world. This is why a lot of ENFJ’s do so well with connecting with people – it gives them the advantage on almost playing field – communication being an essential element in our society.

Ryan Reynolds Personality Type – ENTP

ENTP

Ryan Reynolds is an easy one to type although some sources give ESTP as being a possibility, I think he’s an ENTP. These two types are a bit like INFP and INTP (and many others), two types that are so close it’s hard to tell which is what. It really boils down to a lot of factors and if you’re a linguist typing might actually be something you might want to get into. There’s a lot of reading to do.

Ryan is a likeable dude – similar to Robert Downey Jr (both ENTP’s). ENTP’s are a tough one to dislike, the kind of trouble or mischief they get into or create is a bit different than that of an ESTP. ENTP’s are comical, funny, quick witted intellectuals – the mad scientist type so don’t let Ryan’s dashing good looks fool you.

Shia LaBeouf Personality Type – ENFP

ENFP

Shia LaBeouf, can I just say “Shy La Buff”? Ok so Shia is an interesting dude, I usually like to write about people who have settled in to themselves, aged and seasoned folks who have a workable timeline I can observe. With Shia though, he’s matured into himself – well not fully but enough personality to grind through.

The sources have come up with INFP, INFJ, and ENFP. I do think Shia is a perceiver not a judger – yeah I know what you’re thinking, I’m breaking my own rule about cognitive functions. When observing dichotomies, what I like to do is feel one’s energy, one’s “vibe” if you will – something a person does long enough it shows. Perceivers have a different way of roaming the earth, you just have to get that vibe.

Demi Moore Personality Type – ISTP

ISTP

Demi Moore, too many movies to list here but a few of my faves are “Ghost” and “A Few Good Men”. My first hunch was actually an ISTJ – I like to shoot for an educated guess before I check out what the sources say, I’m usually very close and mostly right. I was one letter off and I do agree with what most sources say – Demi is an ISTP.

Introverted thinking rules an ISTP but it’s the passenger seat (auxiliary function) that really takes over for ISTP’s. With Demi, extraverted sensing is what we see most of the time – she doesn’t look like the idle type and if she is, well then she’s digesting information (introverted thinking). Demi likes to do her deep thinking on her toes, yeah ISTP’s can do that.

Patrick Swayze Personality Type – ENFJ

ENFJ

I’m a big fan of Patrick Swayze movie classics from “Dirty Dancing”, “Point Break”, “The Outsiders” and “Ghost”. Patrick is always a fun one to watch there’s no doubt about that.

Extraverted feeling rules Patrick’s function stack, a fluid and versatile ENFJ needs vast open space to really thrive – ENFJ’s need some space to roam and interact with their environment. Patrick can dance, sing, surf, skydive altogether with his dashing good looks, this ENFJ is the full package.

Michael Jackson Personality Type ISFP

ISFP

Typing Michael Jackson is a huge undertaking – he’s got such vast timeline of memorable performances, interviews and songs I grew up with. There are way too many classics to name here but just to name a few – “Beat it”, “Billie Jean” and “I’ll be there” were a few of my faves (a few? no I didn’t mean a few, way too many to name as mentioned). I even enjoyed watching his movies – “Moonwalker” and if you’ve been around long enough – “Captain EO”.

Okay, let’s get to it and jot down what we do know. Michael is an I, x, F, P. That “x” placeholder is a huge question mark, sources are split down the middle between an INFP and an ISFP. I’ve been swinging back and forth with the two possibilities myself.

Elon Musk Personality Type – INTP

INTP

I’ve been itching to write a post about Elon Musk for a while now. Particularly because there’s been so much buzz circulating this what people call “The Tony Stark” of this modern age. From Tesla, to Solar City to Spacex – this guy has his hands in everything. Let’s not forget about HyperLoop, a bullet train that said to transport humans from San Diego to San Francisco in roughly an hours time.

Elon is an interesting character to cover, he’s up there with the Jobs and Zuckerbergs of our time.

With much popularity comes much controversy and criticism we all know this. But this is a good thing for getting to know Elon, I found a good amount of interviews and had the chance to observe his mannerisms, body language – just about anything to decipher his personality type.

Drew Barrymore Personality Type – ENFP

ENFP

Drew Barrymore, cute, lovable – she’s a classic in my book. Come on, “E.T” and “Firestarter” are a few of my faves! You will have to go back in time for those, otherwise you may be more familiar with “50 First Dates” or “The Wedding Singer”.

First what the sources say. I’ve seen ISFP, INFP, ESFP and ENFP. Definitely a “P”, perceiver – it’s obvious in how naturally animated she is. You can almost find movements and every part of her face, it’s so free, kind, and I’ll say it again – cute and adorable?

I don’t think she is an ISFP, INFP or an ESFP. Drew Barrymore is an ENFP and I’ll tell you why. ISFP’s are a bit more calculated with expression, INFP’s simply don’t have the energy Drew has – watch her interviews. Drew is like a bubble gum machine with every flavor you can think of. An ESFP is a good guess but her head and eye movements have intuition written all over it.

Donald Trump Personality Type – ESTP

ESTP

Yes, I have decided to write a post on Donald Trump. I’ve been around since the 80’s and to really get a good typing on anyone you’ve got to spend a good bit of time with them. For celebrities and big names out there we can’t exactly do that – so we instead watch history unfold over time. See, you have to go back in time, personality typing is a dynamic process. It isn’t a static snapshot.

For all you leftists out there don’t get butt hurt about this post, I’ll cover Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on another post so stay tuned for that. It’ll be interesting coverage.
