Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte

[Ms. Kensington]

I hear Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte are close friends..

how does ENTj and ISFj look for them?

[FDG]

Yeah I think Phelps is ENTj

[Ritella]

wiki quote:
"a front page illustrated article profiling Phelps on the eve of the 2008 Summer Olympics, The Baltimore Sun described the hometown swimmer as "a solitary man" with a "rigid focus" at the pool prior to a race, but afterwards "a man incredibly invested in the success of the people he cares about".[16] Bowman told a Sun interviewer, "He's unbelievably kind-hearted", recounting Phelps' interaction with young children after practices.[16]"

[UDP]

We're also considering SEI

eta:


him and his dog

[Gilly]

SEI seems plausible. I might consider ESE-Si as well, but I can't really see LSE.

[Gilly]

He reminds me of the guy who plays Jim in The Office. I think he has been typed by some as SEI, if I remember correctly...?

[eunice]

I like him too. He seems so approachable and unassuming. It would be awesome if he is ESTj. Dun think he is though.

[Steve]

Seems Alpha to me.

[Logos]

He does not seem Alpha to me.

[tereg]

I've said this before, but, he really does remind me a lot of Eli Manning.

[Sirena]

Yeah! now that you mention it. What type is he?

[unefille]

Yeah! now that you mention it. What type is he?

When idolatrie and I were in the States, we became huge fans of football and we both became huge fans of the Mannings.

Our consensus (reached after many evenings watching football, but also their numerous endorsement ads) is that Peyton Manning is LSE and that Eli Manning is SLI. Seriously, he...really does not know how to 'work' an interview. So retarded, so adorable.

[olduser]

ILE to me. alpha otherwise.

[idolatrie]

SEI for Phelps I think, but I didn't watch all those interviews - I'm kinda over swimming now so they bored me. But the dog one was adorable.

He's much better at interviews that Eli Manning. Unefille and I spent a couple of days watching pretty much ever Manning vid out there and dissected the way they call plays, the way they move/run, the way they celebrate and all that. Pretty convinced Eli is SLI and Peyton is LSE.

[UDP]

One thing I know about both of them for sure: their father must be a damn lucky and happy man.

Werd. x100

Makes up for his own career.

Article on Eli that I think makes a pretty good case for SLI:

[Christy B]

Phelps seems SEI to me.

[misutii]

I saw a press conference thing with him on tv recently, at first I thought SEE, but i may be wrong

[jessica129]

He reminds me of the guy who plays Jim in The Office. I think he has been typed by some as SEI, if I remember correctly...?

The one that looks like you? Hmm..you all sort of look alike.

[Creepy-bg]

he looks like Ashton minus a few years of amphetamines.

[FDG]

he looks like Ashton minus a few years of amphetamines.

true, the similarity is striking

[Ritella]

i agree with SEI as well. reminds me of a few i know in real life.
wow, i think we've come to a general consensus.

[Suz]

Any ideas on his type?

[redbaron]

he annoys me.

[Suz]

he annoys me.

yeah me too

[FDG]

Some kind of xxTj type...

[Saberstorm]

Any ideas on his type?

Your dual ....

[Suz]

Your dual ....

are you in the "WA is ESE", "WA is SEE" or "WA is IEE" camp?

[ashlesha]

who is in the WA is SEE camp?

[Creepy-Snaps]

are you in the "WA is ESE", "WA is SEE" or "WA is IEE" camp?

I got the impression he meant IEE, since that's how you self-type, and nobody has suspected SEE for quite some time.

I could see Michael Phelps as SLI, and if I had to pick one type I'd say SLI, but I'm not completely settled. Part of me suspects INTj also... he strikes me as pretty clearly introverted, and logical.

Also as another weird comparison, he reminds me of Eli Manning. Same facial expressions, demeanor, etc.

[Beautiful sky]

SLI

[Gilly]

He looks like Ashton.

[Galen]

I see him as some NT type, probably EXXx. @Gilly you may be on to something about comparing him to Ashton.

[Creepy-bg]

lol. ashton hates that comparison, but yeah.

[Suz]

ps: "who is in the WA is SEE camp?" .

oh... now that i think about it... just maritsa i guess. And myself, at times...

[Absurd]

Bwahaha.

@WA: i don't know. since you brought it up, i kinda doubt you're *any* Fi type at all. if you are, then i'm blind, coz i ain't seeing that. sorry.

Ye, WA. This is socionics and you can't hide.

[JWC3]

WORDS AMERICA!

[Suz]

@WA: i don't know. since you brought it up, i kinda doubt you're *any* Fi type at all. if you are, then i'm blind, coz i ain't seeing that. sorry.

ok well if you could offer up some reasons one way or the other, that would be helpful..

[Suz]

i don't appreciate this. why are you even saying that? you get sth out of it?

Absurd is LSE... if you're delta you should be understanding each other better (like I do).

based on previous interaction, i'm not inclined to. one thing i notice is that you seem to not know where you stand in relation to another. if no one says nothing, then you just keep on railroading them til they finally decide they do (ie. need to say sth). i have nothing else to offer, sorry.

um, ok... based on our sparse interaction you've made an erroneous assessment of my intentions and purpose of communication. Just because you dont like me doesn't mean we're not identicals.


One piece of evidence i'd like to offer up to you, felafel in opposition to your assertion that i'm not an Fi type, since you seem to be blind to this, is that my closest, most meaningful, and most harmonious interactions of mutual understanding here have been with gamma and delta types. I'll name a few.... aixelsyd (wookie), slacker, ashton, absurd, traveler (raver now? ), UDP, CILi, Erk, robyn. Others i am not as close to (for whatever reason be it absence from the board or minimal chat use, or my lack of time lately to chat) whom i totally admire and wish we had more interactions and/or wish we were closer: minde, eunice, expat, park, Pa3s, FDG, galen, anndelise, woofwoofl to name a few i can think of off the top of my head. I also get along pretty well with a lot of alphas like hkkmr, kam, phthalate and often have a lot in common with them, though i feel we may not understand each other as deeply, and of course my interactions with betas have been the worst. So if you can reconcile this with me being a merry type, power to ya. Also, among the gammas, the ESIs tend to have the biggest problems with me, which wouldn't go against supervision.

Felafel frankly if you've been blind to all these connections between myself and various members of the community here, I question YOUR ability with Fi. Unless of course you think they are all mistyped, in which case it's a case of "you are all wrong! everyone is mistyped except me!" And if it seems like everyone is mistyped, it more often than not means YOU are mistyped.

But i'll give you the benefit of the doubt because i sense that you dont frequent this community much, but in that case you really have no basis to even have an opinion about me and my interpersonal reactions and interactions.
