David Letterman

[Creepy-Airbag]

Any Letterman fans here? I think he's the funniest guy on television. Too bad there arn't many people that are as funny and quirky as Letterman on television.

I think he's ENFP. What about Jay Leno? Conan? Johnny Carson?

[Slacker]

He strikes me as being more introverted. I actually met him once, when I was in college and his show was much later at night and not so popular He was really really nice. Very polite and respectful and caring.

letterman: INTx .. probably INTj.

[Rocky]

They're all ENTps, really, I'm not joking.

EDIT: sorry, except Carson, who I believe to be ENTj.

[MySaviour]

Conan's not an ENTp. xNTj, at best.

[ragnar]

I'm quite convinced Letterman's type is ENTp.

Greetings, ragnar

They claim Letterman to be an ENTJ in www.typelogic.com. I find him to be either an ENTP or an ENFJ. Well, it appears that he has a strong developed extraverted feeling, but that could be either because he was always that way OR because he has aged, he has developed his weaker functions, which was his extraverted feeling and introverted sensing of the ENTP type.

@Young_and_Confused (that is so perfect right now ): The functions in socionics are a little different.

An ENTp would be:

(Base)
(Creative)
(Role)
(PoLR)
(Dual-seeking)
(Hidden Agenda)
(Personal Knowledge)
(Concrete Art)

An ENFp would be:

(Base)
(Creative)
(Role)
(PoLR)
(Dual-seeking)
(Hidden Agenda)
(Personal Knowledge)
(Concrete Art)

Yeah, I am pretty oblivious to this example you showed me, shows how little I really know. Where did you get this information? Oh yeah Rocky, by the way I'm also in the www.entp.org forum as Tethered_Soul. I'm in 4 fourms at the moment.

[Raver]

Yeah, I posted the above post, I got to get into the habit of logging in.

Crystal clear ENTJ, unsure of subtype, disagree with me at your own peril. Well-spoken, mentally quick, thoughtful, clever, likes to aggravate some of his guests and is unafraid of conflict. Makes several of his guests look completely stupid (they usually walk in that way, but well, you know?). Where's the polr? Just check out his smile . His whole show is very Gamma, Paul Schaffer I believe is an ESE (?). If you want to watch something that has a lot of very strong Gamma core values just watch his.

If you want to watch an Alpha show watch Craig Ferguson's Late Night Show. Because he spends most of his time talking about a snake that has wound itself around his cup. And tea. And marshmallows. And his cat. And a gay skeleton. His type is... ese? Not sure, seems like an alpha SF, pretty sure he's alpha something.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

His Te-ego eyes make me want to drink battery acid.

Yuck, yuck YUCK.

[mfckr]

Uh, no. Letterman's likely ISTp, and Craig Ferguson is definitely Se-ESFp.

I hate your typings.

[goggles]

Why do you think Letterman's an istp besides from the fact that you are (or you think you are) an entj and that he may not have anything in common with you?

That doesn't factor in.

Te ego is correct imo—but he's not EJ, and ILI wouldn't make sense. So SLI it is.

[Raver]

Letterman has always struck me as ILE.

[goggles]

He's not leading to me unless he's living in complete denial of his leading function (which can happen eg. a sloppy ISTP/ISFP but unlikely).

Why do you think he's ILE?

[Disturbed]

He's not known for seeming aggressive outside of joking so SLI-Te might be it, but I had thought he was an LIE-Ni. Either way, Te ego, he doesn't VI like any Ti/Fe type and he appears Te-ego in the way he interacts with people. My dad is an EIE-Ni and can't stand Letterman's jokes, he mostly likes talk radio and the jokes his friends make; SLE-Ti can make him laugh quite a bit, they're probably the type that is best at making him laugh. I usually enjoy LIEs' sharp comments, they make me laugh sometimes. Sometimes I think SLE humor is kind of stupid, but other times it's pretty good; I find LSI-Se to be pretty funny sometimes, they have a goofy side. Also, some of the things they say out of frustration are actually pretty funny (even when they've criticized me). LSI-Se tend to be more blunt like gammas (and concrete and pessimistic-sounding) than SLE-Ti so that has to do with me finding LSI-Se funnier although I could become depressed by it as well... basically, they sound slightly similar to how I did at times (e.g., when we needed things exact), except only their problems weren't mine, so I could laugh about it.

[The Reality Denialist]

LSI could be it.
