    No. Not a confirmation. Honestly EII are not apt for that kind of a show. We can't speak like that. He seems extravert. I can't listen to any of his works so I can't tell for sure. Khrushchev INFP can be any type in socionics. There's no even conversion

    I watched10 seconds of the video and finalized the type. Ej temperament in fluidity with certain order is clear. Watch his hand gesture as he says "we chop wood all day long" that's dynamic talking so you can ex out all thestatic types. Caregiver Fe wants his kids to think of him as a sincere man. I have a fever so I cant go into it more.

    ESE is not a bad typing. Reminds me of Danny Tanner. Certainly not intuitive imo.

    If the MBTI test scores as "Judging" versus "Perceiving" rather than in terms of functions, I don't see how your type conversion works.

    I guess I'm the only one who thinks he's LIE

    Between him and Jon Stewart:

    Stephen Colbert is the straight-laced NT nerd (Tek Jansen, etc.) who employs a high level of personal organization. With a lot of goofy energy, yes... but IMO the high, purposely directed energy just solidifies the EJ typing.

    Jon Stewart is the scatter-brained, oafish EP type.


    EDIT:

    I just saw this picture attached to the LIE description at socionics.com

    entj.gif

    LIEs can be goofier than people give them credit for.

    A huge number of people I know are INFPs in MBTI, and socionically speaking they range from ESTp to ISTj to ENTp and ENFj and INFj and beyond. Often my friends are free thinkers, heavily into the arts and literature, and that seems to be enough to make them MBTI INFp types.

    It works on the basis that the MBTI considers INFP to be Fi-Ne. Socionics would consider that to be INFj.

    MBTI tests measure dichotomies I vs. E, S vs. N, T vs. F and J vs P. Judging and Perceiving are defined the same in both systems, and so are the temperaments. Functions are defined somehow differently, so you get a strange mixed type descriptions. Tests are not always reliable, since this person is clearly not IEI or EII. You cannot simply convert types from one system to another, either follow ("believe") MBTI or follow socionics, cause both are not correct at the same time, there are a bunch of contradictions - probably from (mis)interpreting Jung in two different ways.

    Ikr? I thought maybe he was poking fun, but with a screen showing INFP: sensitive, loyal, creative, and what not, it doesn't really make a good joke.

    I think he's rational and introverted but LII-Ne subtype.

    LII's can be pretty goofy and gregarious, more so than ILEs. ILE are more attention seeking vs gregarious and when you really get to know them you see that they're very deliberate people(fitting their causal deterministic cognitive style).

    I agree with Mu on this. I think he is definitely LII. He really reminds me quite a bit of Bill Nye, and it's interesting how his real personality has come out on his late night show. His humor and style seems a lot closer to Conan O'brien (ILE) than any of the other hosts of late nights.

    Very characteristic of Ne HA humor. Extracts seemingly obvious from external but you can not deny impressively creative Si (very wealthy data bank of sensory experiences). It has absolutely no Ni. Just point me the jokes where time aspects comes to surface.

    I cracked up at this: You are so tune in what you really are... and people love you because of that. Totally off the the mark. Even I can tell you that. INFP... MBTI testing in these days is not even BS it is worse. But we love it because of that.

    He is chameleonic and enigmatic, great at changing how he comes across to others in a way that feels believable. However it is difficult to find out much about the real person and their own positions from his shows. Instead, he becomes what he needs to be to suit his show, being disagreeable as part of a character, or else seeming to be entirely on the side of the person he is interviewing. At the same time, he seems entirely aware of the act he puts on. His humour is often deliberately rude or faux-aggressive, and he knows how far he can go with his act without ever going too far for a guest.

    I feel this points well to IEI.

    He's really all over the place, which speaks to VS cognition. Fe valuing and probably an extravert, so ESE. Fe valuing because he supports positive emotional environments - he mentioned how when he was young, all he wanted to do was make his mom laugh. Si valuing in that the things he really enjoys tend to have a homebody quality, such as D&D.

    Jon Stewart is probably an Alpha NT, which explains why their friendship has lasted so long despite the transience of their professional lives.

    He's probably ENFp or ESFp. He's not rational.
    Probably ESFp. He's Fi for sure.

    My reasoning is he's solidly explaining my reasoning for making an out of character emotional post about this mail in crap.

    But yeah, he's currently asking Republicans to stop Trump from running the mail in crap, and to dump Trump and going ham in this video. Yeah it's nice, but what will it do?

    I'm watching this. It's good.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology

    An optimist - does not get discouraged under any circumstances. Life upheavals and stressful events only toughen him and make more confident. He likes to laugh and entertain people. Enters contact with someone by involving him with a humorous remark. His humor is often sly and contain hints and double meanings. Easily enters into arguments and bets, especially if he is challenged. When arguing his points is often ironic, ridicules the views of his opponent. His irritability and hot temper may be unpleasant to others. However, he himself is not perceptive of this and believes that he is simply exchanging opinions.
