Frank Zappa - ILI

Imagem
  Ni 1: Frank Zappa is an excellent example of the INTp (ILI) type, particularly with a strong Ni (Introverted Intuition) base. Throughout his life and work, Zappa demonstrated key characteristics of Balzac, such as his ability to make others question reality and societal norms and his confident and sharp critiques on the grounds of society and culture.  Ni (Time Intuition) Base: Ability to shape art to atemporal standards : Zappa had a remarkable ability to see beyond immediate reality and navigate through cultural and musical trends. He was ahead of his time, often creating music that was complex, experimental, and challenging, anticipating shifts in the music industry and societal issues. For instance, his albums like Freak Out! (1966) and We're Only in It for the Money (1968) criticized social conventions and the counterculture long before such critiques became mainstream. Realism and Surrealism Philosophy : Like many ILIs, Zappa possessed an ingrained philosophical crit...

Lamplighter - SEE

Imagem
  Se 1: Lamplighter from The Boys fits well within the SEE "Napoleon" sociotype, particularly in his willful and confident approach to dangers and conflicts. His intense need to realize his sensing potential and ethical goals—demonstrated through his commitment to being recognized for his work as a hero—aligns with the SEE's desire to assert individuality and prove personal achievements. While he doesn't compromise to external demands, Lamplighter has a heightened and ingrained sense of volition, expecting more from himself, confident in his personal willpower. While his volitional sensing (Se) demands authority and immediate action, his ethical inconsistency, depression and fluid social approach can lead to tension, as he may switch from favoring someone to viewing them as an adversary when they do not align with his goals. Lamplighter is very receptive to forming temporary bonds with others, just the same for the SEE, which finds it interesting to form bonds with p...

Charles Manson - EIE

Imagem
  Fe 1: Charles Manson, through the lens of the EIE's dominant Fe (Ethics of Emotions), demonstrates a powerful ability to manipulate human emotions, creating intense emotional environments and exerting control over those within them. For the EIE, emotions are both a tool and a field of study, where they explore the depths of human experiences. Manson's life and actions reveal how this dynamic plays out. Manson's infamous ability to "charm" and control his followers can be traced back to his innate talent for reading and manipulating emotions, a hallmark of the Fe base. Like the description of the EIE, Manson created emotional tension and unease in his surroundings almost effortlessly. This is evident in how he could draw people into his emotional world, often using charisma and fear to dominate their feelings, making them malleable to his influence. He wasn't simply a passive observer of emotions but rather someone who actively shaped them to serve his purpos...

Andrew Neiman - ESI

Imagem
  Fi 1: Base Ethics of Relations Andrew's Fi dominance is seen in how deeply personal and internalized his values are. His primary focus is on what is "right" for him in a moral sense, which manifests as a need for authenticity and the search for his moral achievements. He is known for his intense ethical devotion to drumming, going to great lengths to be one of the greatest drummers of his time. This can make him hold high ethical standards for the kind of people he interacts with, only interested in his relationship with music professor Terence Fletcher, for example, one which will help him achieve his deep goals.  Selective Trust : Andrew is highly discerning about who he lets into his personal life. His relationship with his family is distant because they don't align with his vision of greatness or perfection. This reflects Dreiser preference for clear relationships based on mutual interests and values. He maintains an emotional distance from anyone who might comp...

John Seed - SLE

Imagem
Se 1:  John Seed is a manipulative and power-driven leader, leading the Project at Eden's Gate and doing his job with gusto, such as his cruelty as an enforcer in charge of the repentance of sinners. His entire worldview revolves around control and hierarchy, where he positions himself as the ultimate executioner. This aligns with the SLE’s constant focus on evaluating the power dynamics within social structures, constantly trying to be up in the hierarchy while exerting his will in the lower ones. SLEs are driven by the need to mobilize and dominate, and John embodies this through his belief in his religious superiority and desire to make others submit to his vision. John Seed's fanatical belief in his cause and his determination to see his followers submit are key characteristics of an SLE. He’s unwavering in his mission, often using extreme methods to force compliance. Like Zhukov, John needs to be in contact with the direct reality, being the most able member of the cult to...

Walter White - LIE (remake + all 8 function breakdown)

Imagem
  Te 1: Base Business Logic Pragmatism and Efficiency: Walter’s decision to enter the drug trade after being diagnosed with cancer exemplifies Jack London's mindset. He assesses his financial situation and the future of his family and realizes that his teaching job and car wash work will never provide the stability he seeks. He then focuses on pragmatic solutions, choosing a highly profitable (albeit illegal) path, aligned with his chemistry abilities, much like the opportunism on time observed in Jack. The entire operation is approached with focus on productiveness and results, business-minded perspective, as he consistently seeks to optimize production and distribution, demonstrating his skill in organizing complex processes in the real world, and a dangerous, criminal area of expertise. Time and Risks: As an LIE, Walter continuously assesses the objective tasks in front of him and adapts to the most favorable conditions. He starts small in the meth business, but once he realiz...

Rick Sanchez - ILE

Imagem
  Ne 1: Base Intuition of Possibilities:  Potential and Chance : Rick's focus on concepts such as chance and potential is notorious for Ne bases. He routinely jumps between dimensions, creates complex technologies, and develops solutions that push the boundaries of what’s scientifically plausible. For example, his portal gun and countless gadgets are born out of an ability to explore ideas far beyond conventional reality. Like an ILE, Rick doesn’t just settle on one solution; he’s always looking for the next big thing, driven by a sense of boundless creativity and intellectual curiosity. This can make him look like many stereotypical ILEs, that deal with a natural confidence with different future possibilities, often with a multitask approach and a complex and multifaceted focus on their own imagination and their particular perception of reality.  Vivid Imagination : Rick’s perception of reality is also attached to his vivid imagination —he's someone who chases ideas and ...
