I think Rocky and his wife Adrian are a great example of a specific activity (or perhaps dual?) pair... what do you think their types are?
does anyone else think Rocky is funny?
I saw the movie Somebody Up There Likes Me last year, and got the feeling that Rocky Graciano and his wife is a Delta T-F couple.
I don't know about later versions, neither will what I feel to watch again now.

The movies are actually unrelated, save being about boxers named Rocky. I actually remember liking Somebody Up There... a lot more than the Rocky movies.Originally Posted by Nessy

The way Rocky talks and carries himself is exactly like an ESFp I dated.

Rocky and Adrian - an example of ESFp/INTp duality?
Rocky is ISTP and Adrian is ENFP.

umm.... Rocky's a clear ESFp... and I have no idea why anyone would think he's a logical type.
And how could Adrian not be an introverted victim with a Fe PoLR?
Because he is logical, that is why.flying candy and big bugs

Have you seen the latest Rocky movie?
Yeah, honestly my first thought was ESTJ and it seems the most likely among almost any other possibility. I have seen the latest movie by the way.Have you seen the latest Rocky movie?

While I know I certainly wouldn't be comfortable in either role in that scene (haha hence the reason I was never able to actually hook up with any of the INTps I "almost" dated)... he was clearly doing exactly what she wanted him to do. That was the start of a very healthy and happy relationship.What about the rape victim?/Rapist relationshiop? Have you considered that?

You're right, Rocky and Adrian aren't duals because they fucked the moment they laid eyes on eachother.
1.) Not all dual relationships develop the same way... this "common knowledge" you speak of is something a socionist put in a duality description and people here ran with. "Common knowledge" on the matter, if that's what you want to call it, is that the extrovert overlooks the introvert at first and the introvert thinks the extrovert is too good for him/her.
2.) Ummm... it did take time for their relationship to develop. The movie doesn't go into how long they knew eachother before her brother set them up, so we don't really know exactly how long it took their relationship to develop.

Sounds accurate, I think it's kind of neutral and boring at the beginning and then it turns into joyful and orgasmic by the end with fluids everywhere, no?I think that it generally starts positive but boring and it gets better.Duality starts positive at the begininning all the way through?

Re: an example of ESFp/INTp duality
Cool, that's really funny and touching at the same time. I don't know the actress at all, but it looks like you could be right. The SEE/ILI behavior is pretty classic (and exaggerated).
agreed, this is an excellent example.

The SEE/ILI behavior is pretty classic (and exaggerated).Yes, very exaggerated... but very like you said, very classic (haha it makes so much sense that I was never able to hook up with an INTp... there were two circumstances where I was in Rocky's shoes in a similar though not as exaggerated circumstance and I was like "okay" and backed off instead of being more aggressive, which I didn't feel at all comfortable doing... my idea partner allows me to lure him into my apartment and sits down on the couch, waits for my cue to maul me, and then does so without hesitation
At first when Peter and I were watching and she was trying to leave and he put his hand on the door and cornered her I was like, "ummm... " in a critical tone, and Peter was like, "No look, he knows exactly what she needs."
In only those scenes it's could come across as an unhealthy relationship, but if you want the other Rocky movies it's very clear that they're meant to be together and are very good for eachother.
For anyone who hasn't seen the latest Rocky movie yet, DO IT. Adrian's not in it cause it takes place a few years after she died (it's horrible seeing Rocky dealing with that but very, very sweet at the same time... he it TOO a Fi type lol). There's a scene where he talking to his son and his Se dominance and Obstinance and Resolute dichotomies really come through... lol it totally kicks ass. It's what I love most about ESFps.
I tried to find a video of where Rocky goes to her and her brother's apartment thinking that she knew they were supposed to be going out on a date, and she runs in her room and slams the door and he has to stand outside her bedroom yelling stuff to convince her to go out on a date with him.
Awww, does it hurt to be supervised, Joy?I tried to find a video of where Rocky goes to her and her brother's apartment thinking that she knew they were supposed to be going out on a date, and she runs in her room and slams the door and he has to stand outside her bedroom yelling stuff to convince her to go out on a date with him.
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...
umm... I'm not sure what you're implying, but no, that scene did not "hurt" it was funny
??Awww, does it hurt to be supervised, Joy?I tried to find a video of where Rocky goes to her and her brother's apartment thinking that she knew they were supposed to be going out on a date, and she runs in her room and slams the door and he has to stand outside her bedroom yelling stuff to convince her to go out on a date with him.
She is not ESFP IMO.
Well I am back. How's everyone? Don't have as much time now, but glad to see some of the old gang are still here.
He si ISTP IMO.

Stallone SLI??
Try imagining Harrison Ford in his shoes acting this part. It's a completely different seduction style.
Stallone belongs to the group of famous or real life people that gives me a special and rather distinct feeling that is hard to describe but which I think is a sense of duality.
Rocky does not come across as ISTp at all
Not a T type either
Adrian ENFp? Doesn't strike me as one.
ESFp + INTp > ISTp + ENFp
Aggressor/Victim stands our pretty well.
The ENFp is not coming to the Si to have her Ne dealt with
The ESFp (Rocky) is attracted to the strange and mysterious victim type.

The thing I like about the Rocky movies is that it feels like Stallone is playing himself. The character seems so natural for him that it's like he's an actual person.
The way he talks reminds me of an ESFp I dated.
I think Rick has Stallone typed as ESFp.
Edit: ok, lol now I see that Rick has already posted in this thread so perhaps this is not big news anymore
and you are INTp
Yeah, he does seem a natural ESFp.
The characteristics are the same as an ESFp I used to know - kind of a numb persistence.

Lol. Don't be too hard on ESFps because of that. As Expat says they are hard-wired for INTps. INTps are funny creatures. If you have that numb persistence with INTps then success is guaranteed but if you don't then failure is guaranteed. That is why ESFps are better INTp hunters than ESTps. ESTps are much more sensitive to rejection. Like just when the INTp seemed to submit and open up they can suddenly and without warning bring the walls back up. This is really hard for ESTps to take but not that hard for ESFps.
I think ESFp guy, INTp girl works really well in this sense. Some ESFp girls (especially younger) might have a problem with this if they have been taught that girls should let the guy work a bit for them in order to see their level of interest. When older/more experienced I think they let go of these kind of rules and learn the same numb persistence the ESFp guys do. They just fix on their target and keep pushing as if they don't even listen to the other person's opinions on the matter. I can see how this would freak out an INTj.
yes, good observations
Revive!
Yeah SEE + ILI absolutely.
Anyone who thinks Rocky is an introvert does not remember the first movie.
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.
