Aladdin - the Disney movie (spoiler warning)

[machintruc]

Characters are pretty much like caricatures in this movie...

Aladdin : ++0 ILE ; gentle and adventurous
Genie : +0- SEI ; accomodating, but expressive - wants to be free, but subordination isn't really bad for him
Jafar : -0+ LIE ; looks like a total nerd
Jasmine : --- SEI ; looks autistic and reckless, looks like she hate almost everyone
Iago : -+0 ESI ; looks like some pushy rebellious slave
Abu : +++ IEE ; impulsive, but kind
Carpet : +-- SLI ; like Genie, but not really "social"
Sultan : +++ SEE ; friendly, but looks retarded and naïve (how the fuck has he become Sultan !?)
Razoul : --+ LSI ; the typical moody bureaucrat
Rajah : 0-- ILI ; yeah... pretty hard to type
The Peddler : 0+- LII ; the dude at the beginning of the movie, he looks really funny

AWWWWWWWW Machintruc has recently spent 1,5 hours watching Disney's Aladdin!!!! AWW THAT IS SO CUTE! It really is!

haven't seen it for a while (would gladly watch it though), but Aladdin and Genie are correctly typed from what I remember.

[machintruc]

Hmm interesting; Seems like most of the heroes are Alpha, while the villains are Gamma.

Walt Disney himself was ESE, thus Alpha.

[Slacker]

Walt Disney died in 1966. Aladdin was filmed in 1992.

I hated Jasmine in that movie. I thought she was one of the most annoying characters ever.

Interesting. She was actually a character who I enjoyed, and Aladdin would most likely be in my Top 5 Disney films list.

Actually I would expect that Genie would be ESE, since Genie seemed to heavily reflect the persona of Robin Williams (ESE).

Weird. I don't remember how old I was when that movie came out, but I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking "OMG WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER LIKE SUCH AN ANNOYING BITCH???"

Remember, you have always known that people think differently, so why should this have been of a surprise to you?

All movie villains are EIE. You didn't know that?

All movie villains are S-

I don't think Jafar was EIE - he relied on his snake thingey to persuade others. Some Fe.

I was kidding, I don't remember anything about Jafar. The only thing I really remember about Aladdin was finding the genie over the top and Jasmine the most annoying character ever (and I couldn't fathom why anyone would find anything about her even remotely likable).

I was in like 5th grade when it came out, so maybe I was a bit too old for it?

[krieger]

Hmm, not sure on Aladdin. Jasmine and the Sultan sound right. I initially thought ILE for Genie also, although I can see a case for ESE (it would have interesting implications towards my typing of others if the character turned out to be ESE, because he reminds me of a couple of crazy ILEs irl).
Not sure about Jafar being INTj. Iago: I can maybe see ILE, but why do you think he's Alpha in particular? It's interesting how many of these characters you typed as Alpha when there's clearly deep rifts in how they see the world. For instance, I would have guessed Jafar as being some Se HA type, possibly, not Se PoLR. (I really don't know Aladdin's type, ESE might be plausible.)

Like I said I'm having a really hard time seeing Aladdin as non-sensor or Accepting Se. What are the alternatives? 75% of the movie has him jumping on things, dodging swords and saving jasmin with his heroics. But we don't see him forcing stuff by command of his will. He acts like a sensor out of necessity, is called on by the environment to employ his physical talents and simply reacts in the appropriate manner. IMO this is Dynamic Sensing, aka Si, as opposed to Se, which would be about taking initiative in physical matters.

Genie is brimming over with cerebral skills and mostly concerned with showing these off. Not something ESFjs are generally known for. I don't think he's helping the emotional climate much so much as he's simply disturbing it. He's the kind of guy you want to have an ESFj next to so his social mistakes get corrected.

ENTj and ENFj are the next possibilities I'd consider for Jafar. If he was either of these types I'd expect him to be more of a public figure though, acting on accord of a group or as a part of it. ENTj/ENFj villains are corporate leaders, people that are in the right position and nudge whole herds in the right direction with their words. Jafar seems more of a one-man show... but it may be there is a side to him that the movie doesn't delve into. I think there's a LOT of similarity between him and Lion King's Scar. Now Scar IS presented as a leader of powerful groups, such as the hyenas. So maybe you're right. Anyway, I can see the case for the other intuitive judging types. Not strongly settled on INTj.

So I take it you're opposed to SEE as an option?

I noticed this also. Not really sure what either of them are. I doubt Jafar is EIE though, for the reason I mentioned shortly above.

I'm also having second thoughts about Jasmine as IEI but it still seems a very plausible choice.

[Joy]

Just a thought... in order to become more like your enneagram "growth" type, should you try to make your brain chemical levels more like that types?

[crazedrat]

spoiler warning? the movie is only nearly two decades old

Jasmine : --- SEI ; looks autistic

too bad they didnt have the miracle drug zoloft back then

[crazedrat]

[Elro]

It's on Youtube! That's where I watched it.

[Logos]

Bump. Any new thoughts on Aladdin?

[xerx]

Jafar is LII. I see that now.
