    I've always thought Andy Pettitte was admirably Aristocratic. Probably Beta introvert; I see some expression similarities to Nick, as well as an IEI friend of mine from high school.





    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I could easily see Pettite as Ti ISTj. I see the expression resemblance you're talking about, but he seems static>dynamic to me. Look at how stiff and block-like he looks in that pic with the suit. Doen't seem as fluid as INFps.

    Oh and Derek Jeter is INFp, compare their moments an manners of speaking.

    A.J. Pierzynski

    Lowell is definitely some introvert, just based off raw impressions I might say EII over IEI.

    I find it amusing that you posted a video of a likely IEI athlete and the video capture just happens to have the guy in the lotus position, that's too perfect

    Stipe Drews(Drviš). ESTp.
    Boxer.



    In March 2008 Stipe Drews participated in reality show called "Farma" on Croatian Nova TV. After enduring three weeks in the show, he started up a fist fight with 57-year old photographer Stephen Lupino(conflict relation fwiw) during live TV broadcast and thus earned disqualification from the show. According to guards on Farma Lupino even won fight.[2]
    ??? if true then lol...lol anyway, if he had managed to beat grandpa properly no such stories would occur IMO.

    Two (more) INFp NBA all-stars:

    Steve Nash -- Ni-INFp

    Also, Paul Pierce (another NBA all-star) is INFp.

    Why do you think that A Rod is LIE..?


    I think he's SLE because I've noticed a pattern in his romantic relationships, (the public ones, anyway) they seem to be with betas... His ex-wife, Madonna, and Kate Hudson are all betas, I think...

    If there's a strong pattern of being with people from one quadra in particular--that's great evidence, I think.

    ARod's also supposed to have been good friends with Derek Jeter, who I think is beta too, Ti-LSI. (I read that ARod was kinda jealous of Jeter at one time... I've been noticing this in mirror relationships--streaks of jealousy sometimes.)

    Go Yankees!!

    He's pretty... A really pretty guy... Put a wig on him and I'd take him out and show him off. (He's already got make-up on.)

    What's even more beautiful to me was his production in the post-season last year... He's a beautiful man.

    Kevin Garnett (Se-ISTj) and Rajon Rondo (Ti-ISTj).

    nah, i think they are delta. Garnett is IEE, Rondo is LSE. Garnett is all fun, games and clever attitudes. Saying stuff like "see you tryna to get some chin hair, i'll show you how to do that later" is kind of like making fun of Se, actually.

    Among those mentioned that I disagree with, I think
    Dungy is an ISFj
    A-Rod an ISFj
    Pierce an ISFp
    Garnett and Rondo ENFps
    K. Perkins an ESTj

    I agree on a lot of the others (Jeter as ISTj, etc.)

    some other Celtics' types, in my opinion, and for the hell of it:
    Allen - ESFp
    Rivers - INTp
    Davis - ENTp
    Robinson - ENTj
    Ainge - ESFj
    Wallace - ESFj

    Aren't many betas there.

    Gisele Bunchen's husband is ISTj; you won't find any N types in physical sports, we are physically and mentally fragile for such well, intense activities.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
