ISTp-ENFp duality and implicit perception of emotional needs

[Creepy-Cyclops]

*nods* Luke's the _NFP. One MB site had him INFP.

Lea is far to emotionally expressive to be ESTj.

*grins* She is a fun character. *thinks* She can make the tough decisions, no? I would've agreed with the STJ. She doesn't feel like an N to me.

Edit: Wish I knew what my best friend was. Definite I and P, I'd guess, but not sure whether N or S and T or F. All I know is that we fit together really well.

Do you think she's quite an idealist?

[Cuddly McFluffles]

I could see that...fighting for a cause and all. She does seem different than her brother, though. He's more sensitive, while she's more no-nonsense and "get-out-of-my-way"-ish.

I think her actions and her decisions are more ethically based.

Yeah, all for the cause and whatnot. Still, she doesn't come across as ENFP to me. Aren't ENFPs crazy and fun? And don't they dislike telling people what to do?

Princes Leia didn't come across as a very multi-faceted individual to me, but rather simple and action oriented. But then again, George Lucas never did a great job of turning Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' into good cinema (because that's basically what he tried). It is all rather shallow, I think, with one-dimensional characters and obvious plots.

I have spoken.

I would say that Leia may appear bossy, but under pressure she would at times back down, for instance in the early exchanges with Han Solo on the millenium falcon. This type of bossy/backing down thing could be said to be an ENFp characteritic.

Yeah..The fun and crazy ENFp's are fun and crazy But she does look a lot of fun to me (or rather she looks pretty hot in the film so maybe I think I could *have* lots of fun with her )

However, I think if you combine her primarily external idealism, coming from more an ethical viewpoint, and when you look at how her and Han Solo start off like chalk and cheese, then gradually come to realise the importance each other are to each other, (it could be viewed as a duality relation in the making) to me it does seem to point to ENFp

However, I do agree with consentingadult in the sense that character portrayal has never been one of Lucas' strong points.

So yeah.. who can really say for definite .
