Viggo Mortensen

[Gilly]

I'm leaning some Ni-EJ, maybe LIE. I think there's a valid comparison to Daniel Craig, though Mortensen feels somewhat...softer.

[Galen]

He and Crispin Glover are the same person.

Ne-INTj.

Viggo Mortensen: Si-ISTp?

[willekeurig]

He strikes me as delta st. Much based on Aragorn being my ultimate crush in Elementary School.

Don't trust her, she's not like that. Agarina is incapable of that sort of affection... It's a true story.


Frigid.

Viggo Mortensen: Si-ISTp?

I agree with this.

[JRiddy]

Ne-INTj like a motherfucker. I've confused Si-ISTp and Ne-INTj several times before, but Mortensen just reeks of IJ-ness to me.

[1981slater]

Viggo Mortensen: Si-ISTp?

Yeah

[717495]

Ne-INTj.

Agreed. He's also a clone of two INTjs I know

[krieger]

in most instances i've seen him in he seemed like a bit of a stereotype traditional masculine person without exhibiting anything resembling Se, so my inclination was to type him as ESTj.

could just be that my only real encounter with him was watching LoTR, tho.

Every movie I've seen him in has portrayed him as a fairly quiet individualist. Not that there aren't fairly quiet, individualistic ESTjs out there, but ESTjs seem to actively engage in their world. Mortensen's characters often seem about persistent tenacity slowly revealing hidden depths or secrets: cf. Hidalgo, The Road, A History of Violence. Even in LoTR (a work in which characters' motivations and thought processes are not explored much in favor of narrative and scenic detail) he plays a fairly introverted leader type.

I'm sticking with Ne-INTj

[The Ineffable]

Some sort of ST, cold, dry and flat to me. I think SLI, this interview, esp his answer to question No 2 invalidates Beta ST:

He is totally undiscriminatory about everything and specifies that things just happen. Does not separate anything in categories and describes properties (including people's talens) as facts, as a timeline, as they were merely events, treats strengths of people as contingent. I don't really know how to explain all the details of this, but I quote the most insightful parts, they speak for themselves:

"I learned how to do the job."
"There's no many actors who can make a living for years as I have, so if all ends right now I'm fine."
"You know, don't really separate them [arts], they're all the same thing."
"They don't say as adults do, 'There are artists and then there are the other people'. Kids, if they want to draw, they draw. [...] They just do it, they don't think about it. [...] It's just a way of living."

[Saberstorm]

I work as a security guard for Henry Block, founder of H&R Block tax service. In 1997 he had over 2 billion dollars. Anyway, I see him all the time and Viggo seems like a very energetic and very creative / artisitc version of Mr. Block.

I see Mr. Block all the time. He is totally my image of an 80 year old LSI. He is too old to use much of the judicious/decisiveness, as we all slow down. He is pure structure and logic. When you watch this film of him, remember he is 80! I think Viggo will be like that at 80.




I think this could be a time to pull out the DCNH subtype system. Henry Block is the "archtypical" LSI. Thus he is the D subtype.But viggo resembles his quasi-identical, which would make him the H subtype, for "Harmonizing."

[crazedrat]

duno, but i don't see INTj-Ne.

[Galen]

Yes I agree haha. I remember when everyone was going mad over Legolas in LotR, and I was like fools, it's Aragorn all the way.

Legolas is a pansy, Aragorn is a real man.

duno, but i don't see INTj-Ne.

He certainly has the IJ lethargy, and I don't get much Fi or Se from him.

[Marie84]

From some research he seems like a clear-cut SLI.

Enjoys mainly solitary hands-on activities; he states he doesn't plan out his life, that's he's an adaptable person, that's an irrational outlook; rationals seek consistency and predictability in their lives.
Another thing, on the TT DVD interviews the swordsman who trained him said he was the best swordsman that he ever trained and he also does his own stunts, this guy is good at Se/Si
At one point he ended-up breaking his toes in a scene but continued filming, the heck if an Se PoLR would do that, we'd be hoping on one foot trying not to cry (admit it!)

That was my initial typing of him, a while ago, just based on his flat, unemotional tone of voice, and his soft, withdrawn-but-physical body language. He reminds me of my SLI brother in those things. His interviews where he talks about his movies were a bit confusing though, because he's always going on about things that seem big-picture oriented. But perhaps that's just me underestimating SLIs.

Also, Actorspeak is very Beta NF. After spending time in Hollywood, all actors start using the same language to talk about making movies. That may be throwing me off, as well.

I've noticed this as well. I guess people tend to adapt to using a certain lingo, especially when exposed to it constantly

"Acting" itself is primarily NF, it's all about understanding people and emotions, just like someone who works in a scientific field would have to adapt to NT concepts

I think that's a pretty simplistic approach to call its results anything like "clear-cut."

I'm not disagreeing, it was just a summary of what I've found on him in the past, though I don't really feel like digging-up a bunch of interviews and info now, but it's there if anyone cares enough to search for it
Anyone is free to use that info to make an argument against SLI too, but that's just my own finding thus far

[marooned]

I like the SLI suggestion. I think he seems pretty Si for the most part.

[Gilly]

I am thinking Te/Fi rational for Viggo. I know a Te dominant guy who reminds me vaguely of him in self presentation but is much more tense-seeming...ESI is a possibility.

[silke]

INTj but I'd go with Ti subtype.

Si hidden agenda is prominent in LII-Tis which makes them appear delta ST-ish.
They certainly have a greater measure of stoicism and than the Ne subs: http://wikisocion.org/en/index.php?t...ubtype_INTj-Ti

[Radio]

he's so... aryan

[aisa]

bump

[Amber]

disgusting SLI

ntr

[mu4]

Delta ST is good

[aisa]

hmm... ok. I guess Delta ST, probably SLI could work. Maybe what seemed like Se-PoLR could be his sx-lastness.

But that would make him and Michael Fassbender identicals...? (I've seen Fassbender typed SLI.)
They seem so different to me. Fassbender is so much more alive. Could this be ascribed to Fassbender being sx-first and a different etype?

Their facial bone structure (more visible in the young pics in the bottom of spoiler) looks different... So if we keep the assumption of Delta ST, then Viggo as LSE-Te sx-last and Fassbender as SLI-Te sx-first? What do you guys think?





and this image is so fitting for this forum

 

[Radio]

Michael Fassbender is a gorgeous human specimen.

[yifflord]

He popped up in a LOTR BTS video I was watching and I was immediately struck with hardcore SLI vibes.

[Milo]

INtroverted thinking type. I'm torn between LII and SLI. He seems too ethereal for a Si-ISTp and too torpid for the Te-ISTp, and while LII makes a reasonable typing for him I have too little experience with LIIs to go with it.

[Chae]

SLI Sp/Sx

[Delilah]

I've only seen him in LOTR and A History of Violence. In the later he didn't strike me as Si valuing, but maybe for obvious reasons as the title of the movie suggests. He was good in both, i find him to be a good actor. Seems like his typing is all over the place tho...

[Hays]

I could see how Viggo Mortensen could VI somewhat as ISTp and even more as an INTj but something still remained off with his type.
Or at least that was the case until I viewed the video clip below and noticed similarities with Woody Harrelson - ENTp.
Is he drunk in the clip...I don’t know...but maybe alcohol loosens him and allows his personality type to shine through.

[Bertrand]

that is amazing

Vigggoooo..!

[lavos]

He is LII

[Sol]

Can I just choose who is in my quadra?

Sure. In next born he'll get the type which gotten the most of votes.
