    Perhaps Jason Bourne in the Bourne Trilogy movies (haven't read the books).

    John Wayne's western persona in most of his movies (not all of them, though). In movies like El Dorado and Rio Bravo, for instance.

    The traditional portrayal of Captain America in the comics.

    Thomas Gradgrind from Charles Dickens' Hard Times, and according to socionics.org: Mary Poppins, Nikolai Rostov from War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, Pat Hollmann from Three Comrades by Erich Remarque and the character Stirlitz from Seventeen Moments of Spring by Yulian Semyonov.

    Stirlitz was regarded as the ideal KGB agent. Born in Russian heartland (a town of Gorokhovets mistakenly placed "on the Volga river" in the feature), he was a renaissance man who knew how to complete missions but was also familiar with high culture. He spoke all European languages except Irish and Albanian. He favored the intellectual approach over violence and is believed to have killed only one time in his fifty year career as an agent. Like James Bond, he had a favorite drink, cognac. He drove a Horch car and was not as taken by women as Bond, declining the offer of some supposedly attractive prostitutes with the rejoinder "I'd rather drink some coffee." During his constant travels, Stirlitz missed Russia and longed to return.
    Sounds like me

    Holmes would probably flip out if he saw how some go about "typing" in this forum.

    from what i remember about the movie, she was good @ providing structure to the kids' lives while maintaining a fair amount of discipline & conservatism. apparently in the books more than the disney movie she is described as "stern and vain" (as per the wikipedia article i just read on her.) she also denies having any supernatural powers when asked about them.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Po...28character%29

    it doesn't really seem like an entirely bad typing. i also read an INFj typing from some source (maybe socionics.org.)

    If not let's just go fly a kite. Up to the highest height.



    EDIT: See i cant see how an LSE would enjoy just flying a kite. More likely to like tell the kids exactly why its flying.

    You're right. The only reason I'd want to fly a kite would be if there were pretty women at the beach, or if I was helping a kid or a pretty woman, etc. Other than that - its Frisbee time, baby

    I would personally enjoy making the kids run as fast as they could, via chasing them and scaring them, in order to make their kites take off into the sky.

    I've added links to all the texts available online for free - you might not like reading them on a computer, but you could just read the brief extracts concerning the relevant character or see if you like the book, and then buy a physical copy.

    I heartily agree on Prince Muishkin, at least in so far as the snippet (about ten pages or so) I just read, and with Dr. Watson.

    I think that the Underground Man (from Dostoevsky's Notes From the Underground) could be INFj as well (though an incredibly dark one).

    Misutii thought the main character of Notes from the Underground was an unhealthy INFp , so maybe the unhealthiness\darkness makes him difficult to type. Dostoevsky seems to favour INFj characters in his books, generally, which makes sense if it was his type - it wouldn't be very good logic to say that characters must therefore be a INFj though .

    Prince Muishkin does indeed come across as a good example of an INFj.

    I don't watch anime, but some people I know do. Does any of them show LSE characters?

    Can't think of any off the top of my head. LSE's seem to be under represented in anime.

    I know what you mean. I'm interested in something along the same line - Korean dramas. I love how the male character who is so full of passion finds it hard to express his love verbally to the girl he admires and choose to help her in the background instead, even though he seems to be misunderstood and always arguing with her on the surface. <333 However, the best part in these dramas is that there are always two male leading characters with great potential trying to fight for her and the girl didn't know who to choose because both of them really love her for who she is. <33333 Fighting for the chance to be with the girl he loves despite all adversaries is the hottest thing a guy can do for a girl. :wink:
