Sarah Silverman

[crazedrat]

wondering what type you people think she is

[1981slater]

ENFp ??

[implied]

i love her. she reminds me of deven green, who is equally hilarious.

[krieger]

I think it's ENTp.

ENFp

She's notorious for insulting minority groups as a form of joke. Fi PoLR to the max.

[1981slater]

ENTp as hell. Shoot everyone who claims differently.

1) polr to the max

2) insulting minorities is what aristocrats do!

[krieger]

There's also the fact that the two main "friends" of the fictional version of herself are ISFps in the Sarah Silverman Program.

She isn't sensitive, fragile or emotional in any real way. The world is just full of playthings to her. If she can get some deranged sense of entertainment out of it, she'll abuse it. T not F.

Did you know she's fucking Matt Damon?

Mastering the matrix doesn't mean you can change type. It means you don't have to.

lol. You honestly believe it's what Delta's do...? Good luck backing that up.

I love that one

I know some racist ENFps. On the other hand, deltas tend to respect someone just because he/she belongs to a minority. Betas tend to kick people just because they belong to a minority.

Both are wrong!

[marooned]

I saw her typed as EIE here.

[krieger]

i guess the "Ne" written across her forehead wasn't obvious enough an indication for these people.

In the Sarah Silverman Program, which is obviously autobiographical and somewhat true to what she is like in real life, she portrays herself as having the stereotypical Ne-ish habit of running to an oppurtunity, discarding it moments after taking an interest in it and running to the next. The whole show is about such oppurtunities and the laconical indifference with which she discards the activities and people involved after having faked interest in them. It's stereotypically ENTp.

1. Two birds in the bush [he often chooses this option instead of one in his hand]. He is a genius at finding new opportunities and possibilities. What he has completed always seems to him less important compared to the dawning perspectives which are irresistible an inexhaustible. Scientists of this type tend to procrastinate with the publishing of the results of their research, thinking that the greatest discoveries are still ahead. He lives for the future; meanwhile being not acknowledged does not intimidate him. He chooses to do what is interesting rather than what is lucrative.

The intuitive is never to be found among the generally recognized reality values, but he is always present where possibilities exist. He has a keen nose for things in the bud pregnant with future promise. He can never exist in stable, long-established conditions of generally acknowledged though limited value: because his eye is constantly ranging for new possibilities, stable conditions have an air of impending suffocation. He seizes hold of new objects and new ways with eager intensity, sometimes with extraordinary enthusiasm, only to abandon them cold-bloodedly, without regard and apparently without remembrance, as soon as their range becomes clearly defined and a promise of any considerable future development no longer clings to them. As long as a possibility exists, the intuitive is bound to it with thongs of fate. It is as though his whole life went out into the new situation. One gets the impression, which he himself shares, that he has just reached the definitive turning point in his life, and that from now on nothing else can seriously engage his thought and feeling. How- [p. 465] ever reasonable and opportune it may be, and although every conceivable argument speaks in favour of stability, a day will come when nothing will deter him from regarding as a prison, the self-same situation that seemed to promise him freedom and deliverance, and from acting accordingly.

I don't seem to see the "written across her forehead" either.

I've seen Jimmy Kimmel typed SLE or ESE, and activity probably is a better guess for their relationship than business. Kimmel had a show with Ben Stein (probably Gamma NT) where they had lots of on-screen animosity - not sure if it was fake animosity or based on their real relationship.

[krieger]

For the record, I'm basing most of my typing on what I've seen of her on the Sarah Silverman Program.

[aestrivex]

i typed silverman as IEI some time ago. i don't have any good reasons why that's any better than rick's typing of EIE, nor do i object at all to the latter, but i don't know why rick thinks EIE is more appropriate.


under no circumstances IEE; her brand of humor is provocative, emotionally colorful (she doesn't at all shy away from expressive caricature for laughs), and widely directed towards conveying social awkwardness and absurdity. basically a typically beta "fart jokes" sense of humor.

[marooned]

I think this interview is pretty good:



If she is leading I would definitely go with ILE over IEE. I don't really know what type Kimmel is.

[krieger]

There's a guy in the SSP that is very clearly ISTj that Silverman very clearly hates. It's the guy that she says is "an idiot" in the video I just posted. If Silverman is a Beta NF, it would make no sense at all for her to put a character like that in her show. If she is ENxp, it would fit in with expectation perfectly.

The most obvious thing we learn from Rick's typing of her as ENFj, is that she is likely not an ENFp. If she was, Rick would easily have picked up on the identical relation.

I'll agree that it's Ti/Fe humor. However, Alphas are commonly said to be even more "childish" than Betas. Beta NFs tend not to be as unrefined as to resort to "fart jokes" at all. I think most of the Beta NFs here would take insult to the suggestion that their humor is of a "fart joke" level.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

She's just average to me. Her politically incorrect 'make fun of jews and ethnic minorities' jokes and various witty quips about sexual orientation really isn't new and exciting at all. I agree though the reason why she's so funny is she looks so childish saying these things. But the material is really mediocre.

I prefer more physical comedy. Like people getting hit with trucks and anvils etc. Stand-up comics were never my thing.

As for her type, well she REALLY really reminds me of Chris Crocker.

[jessica129]

I really like her. I don't see how anyone could say EIE or IEE. LIE was my immediate thought.

[duality is cringe]

I've always thought ILE. Still do.

[jessica129]

Err, I meant ILE

[jewels]

she's always seemed like someone, who if I was at a party and ended up talking to her, she would probably offend me within five minutes to the point I wouldn't want to talk to her again. The type of person where you have to fake a smile and it starts to hurt your face.

Not sure if that helps typing her or not.

[ClaudiaM]

*Bump*

Anyone disagree w ILE?

I recall seeing her typed IEE-Fi, which boggles my brain. I think it was on Socionix, though, so maybe that's a different system. Gotta be.

[Raver]

She definitely looks IEE to me and I think she's most likely subtype hence why she gets confused for ILE. A lot of her humour is off the wall and in your face, but none of it is meant to be taken seriously, which is typical of IEE humour.

[Suz]

I agree with ILE for her. The IEE typing never sat right with me. I do not relate with her sense of humor at all nor her choice of topics nor her demeanor.

Ellen Degeneres is more IEE humor imo. Jimmy Fallon too.



p.s. the other Ashton IEE typing that needs to change is Kathy Griffin. Not IEE imo.

echoing my feelings as well.

[717495]

She seems like an obvious ENFP to me. Fi-PoLR makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Lol, yeah I know what you mean. She seems nice and interesting in real life, but her brand of humor comes across like it might be too much to deal with at times. However it would be hard to imagine someone who's always like that in every aspect of her life.

She definitely looks IEE to me and I think she's most likely subtype hence why she gets confused for ILE.

Heh, I have a pretty good feeling that's not why she gets confused for ENTP. At least, it doesn't seem why to me.

I tend to want to stand up for people who I'm sure are in my quadra or am sure are Because let's face it, most people get typed Fe/Ti on here, due to biased types often wanting to throw people out who don't fit exactly their expectations, and types often finding how and where they can relate to someone.

[Raver]

Heh, I have a pretty good feeling that's not why she gets confused for ENTP. At least, it doesn't seem why to me.

I think her behaviour is a result of her likeliness to use over , not that she doesn't use , it's just not used as frequently as her . People confuse this as PoLR, but it just shows that she values putting her ideas over what other people think .

[EyeSeeCold]

ENFp is what I always thought she was just by impressions.

[Timmy]

I'm not prepared to pin a type on Sarah Silverman, but I am fairly confident she is not a weak feeler.

[Saoshyant]

INTj. Quite a unique individual.

[Galen]

INTj. Quite a unique individual.

I'd like to hear the reasoning behind this.

[eunice]

I think she's ENFp. As for the subtype, I'm not certain if she's a Fi or Ne subtype. If she were to belong to another type, she seems closer to ENTp rather than ESFp.

[Kim]

Bumping this thread. ILE? IEE? Something completely different?

[wacey]

The Delta ST's are notorious for mocking minorities. That's why they've got NF's to tell them that's it's wrong. Silverman, as with many comedians, is attempting to shine a light on the dark places of humanity, bringing out hidden prejudices and bigotries, and making jokes about them so that we can all laugh about it. Without jokes about minorities, racism would spread and become ugly. I think that Silverman is a pretty highbrow comedian and much of her humour is pretty sophisticated. I would say IEE - Ne is entirelly possible.

I saw an 1 1/2 special of her live show on Netflix and basically her humour was all Fi based, absurdities in relationships, bizarre behavior of others, shocking and strange ironies but are funny because they are coming out of the mouth of a young, childlike women. Making you feel closer to her as she reveals more and more. It's what I often see in Fi-creatives although not usually in such a shocking form, a behavior easily explainable by the fact that she is a COMEDIAN.

I can totally see the similarities between her and Ellen Degenerous, except Ellen's jokes are meant for mainstream middle america, boring housewives and such. Silverman is riding the curtails of the rasicsm comedy in America cause that country has 300 million people from all backgrounds and it's funny right now to make fun of the silly differences which is exactly what she is saying. I heard that Silverman is heavily involved in charities as well as voting issues in America.

I'm not saying it's what I believe she is, just that it is possible.

I just love TED talks and found a Silverman one.


Can you really imagine a ENTp making a speech like that? It's not Fi-polr your watching, although it does appear to be. Can you see a person who values Fe make a speech like that? I think she is trying to bring the TED crowd down to earth. Is it successful? I don't know, it's awkward at times. I don't know on second thought EIE would be possible. It's a process people.

On second thought I can see her being ENTp. Ne is so obvious. I have not met many EIE in real life so I admit I'm not very skilled yet at typing them.

[InvisibleHim]

I've always thought ILE.

She VI's kind of similarly to @Deestructor (what type are you, Dee?)

heyheyhey!

I'm natural born liar! My life is a lie! Etcetc
