    Default Bill O'Reilly Supervises Ann Coulter

    Before I begin, I ask any political zealots here to set your political views aside for a moment, and analyze only the socionically-relevant aspects of the inter-type dynamics here. Create a thread in the appropriate forum if you want to rant about politics. This goes for both sides.

    In my opinion, Ann Coulter is SLE, and Bill O'Reilly is ESI. In the video linked below, I think you can see the Supervision in action. O'Reilly keeps trying to "fix" Coulter by advising her on how not to offend people (Base Fi), and Coulter becomes visibly uncomfortable trying to defend herself against charges that she sees as irrelevant to the main point (Vulnerable Fi). The conversation basically goes "That was offensive to say" (Base Fi), "So what, it was true!" (Creative Ti), "You must be deliberately offending people" (Base Fi), "No, this is just how I talk!" (Vulnerable Fi).

    Throughout, however, there is a tacit agreement on the necessity of confrontation (Se), just a disagreement over the means (Fi vs. Ti). There is a sense that they're both trying to achieve the same goal, but with different methods. The argument over whose books sell more, at the end, is an amusing Se vs. Se clash based on materialistic status.

    PopModal - Ann Coulter

    I know there's been discussions of Bill O'Reilly being LIE, but I think he's far too confrontational and ethically-oriented for that. He's more like Richard Nixon than Bill Gates.

    There have also been discussions of Ann Coulter being Gamma Rational. I will have to dig those up from the bowels of the forum.

    I can't see her as anything other than an EP. She pokes and prods and stirs up trouble; a Gamma Rational like O'Reilly might be confrontational, but it's always for the purpose of creating a "new normal" and settling things down the way he wants them settled down. Notice how O'Reilly criticizes her for being a "bomb thrower" -- someone who stirs up chaos and has no interest in creating stability.

    Also, the Base Fi vs. Vulnerable Fi thing seems pretty self-evident to me. I'm extremely confident in these typings, somewhere around 90%, which is unusually high for me.

    They two of 'em are definitely Beta/Gamma sensors, but Bill strikes me as more of an SEE.
    What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).

    For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

    Yeah, I seemed to get an impression of Ann Coulter as ESI from that. I also thought it was funny how she kept saying that this is just the way she talks and it's not to be provocative on purpose and despite her saying this over and over O'Reilly says at the end "I think you're provocative on purpose, to get attention" and so on (he didn't want to hear what she had to say and insisted on thinking what he thought in the beginning regardless of her saying it wasn't true). I thought he was rather misinterpreting her and perhaps worse so than Matt Lauer. Also she told him he was "arrogant, chauvinistic" and so on, not the other way around.

    I do think she's kind of a defensive communicator but I thought that was because she feels like everyone's trying to shoot her down before she even starts (and it seems like people are... although of course acting defensive to begin with probably invites this and it's a vicious cycle and all). But I thought it was very barbed of Matt Lauer to accuse her of being "paranoid" and why are both these people instant dicks to her? She was suspicious about being delayed coming on the Today show and she said why, but he didn't address that of course and instead just called her "paranoid".

    I love how the subject of how provocative she is seems more important than anything she might say.

    I thought she didn't care about offending people because she's just trying to tell it like it is from her pov and tell herself like she is and just sees it as what she does... so then why should she have to edit herself so as not to offend people? I don't know that I think Fi would be all concerned with how not to offend people (or maybe it would?)?

    Anyway I don't know what type Bill O'Reilly is and I don't seem to have too many impressions about him.

    Edit: although you can't put comments like "So-and-so celebrity was too busy throwing up to comment" or something in your book and not expect people (i.e. the media) to react, so perhaps she is playing a little innocent about this provocation thing. Still though that's her business whether she is or isn't and it's not the point (she wanted to talk about her book, or so she said).

    I'm also not really sure about this idea of 'of course you'll be immediately attacked--you're a conservative!!!'. But that's beside the point. It's more that I'm not sure the media has a liberal bias despite the claims of many "conservatives" and I think that the biases of the media might stem from more complex issues than simply liberal or conservative. I also think that the bias is more "ethereal" in the way that individual people working in the media may not even see it. If it were as simple as a puppet-master fully consciously pulling the strings and leaning deliberately in an anti-conservative way (or in any biased way with an obvious agenda) it would be easier to expose, confront, and take down than it is. I'd be surprised if there's an "evil master mind" behind the scenes (although I can't eliminate that given that the wealthy 1% or whatever in a way control everything).

    Edit 2: Also I wouldn't be opposed to Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly being in the same quadra, and there does seem to be a sort of liking between them, unless I'm just imagining that. They seem comfortable with each other or something. I'm wondering if maybe I'm wrong about him mis-interpreting her (perhaps "mis-representing" would have been a better word, as that's fair since he seemed to be disregarding what she was saying was true/not true about herself and her intentions).

    I don't agree with this. Let people be angry and political if they want to. I'd much rather a right wing anti-gay christian rant about what they hate about me online and get it off their chest, then meet them in real life and have them want to kill me.

    I don't think it's healthy to contain your political beliefs....about anything. People have the right to not like anything. Being nice is an illusion if you have to force it. I'd rather somebody just be honest.

    We're already sheltered too much in life. We won't ever get along in the world if we avoid conflicts like that and avoid facing people and what they really think.

    And why are you trying to make us 'nice.' =( It won't work and it will just make people troll you. BEING NICE IS SO FAKE AND MIDWESTERN. REAL RICH CELEBRITIES LIKE ROSEANNE AREN'T AFRAID TO GET UP IN YOUR GRILL AND TELL YOU WHAT THEY THINK LIKE A FAT GIRL THAT SMELLS LIKE CHEETOS.

    the internet is a place for mouthing off.

    O'Reilly and Coulter are consistently harsh and abrasive. Just watch O'Reilly in any interview. King of the finger-point. Similar to Nixon, in fact.

    Nixon was a very grumpy and abrasive man, an Se-subtype ESI who loved putting people under pressure. It was a common debate tactic of his, seen in his debate with Khrushchev and in his congressional run against the woman he called "pink, right down to her underwear." He was additionally a rather obvious Fi-ego type, being obsessively focused on the depth of his interpersonal relationships with his daughter and wife, as well as several of his cabinet members (Henry Kissinger in particular). The common stereotype of him is that of a crooked LSI or SLE, but it's flatly untrue.

Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Not necessarily (nor do valuers necessarily have deep interpersonal relationships), but valuers are much more likely to be preoccupied with their emotional distance to others. devaluers are more likely to take their connection to others for granted, and super-egos outright don't know how to handle it.

    Types with valued strive to make and maintain close, personal relationships with their friends and family. They value sensitivity to others' feelings, and occasionally will make their innermost feelings and sentiments known in order to test the possibility of creating closeness with others.

    It's just a short post on my cell phone, but I'd have thought any type could be argumentative, and consideration of how people come across can equally be Fe, or a product of upbringing, am I right do you think?

    This is an example of why I regard your typings as a separate "school" -- your typings seem to be based on entirely different criteria than most socionist's. Coulter and O'Reilly seem self-evidently Se-valuing to me, and it's hard to imagine what line of reasoning could lead to a different conclusion. In most cases, with typings I disagree with, I can at least understand why people would arrive at such conclusion, but not here.

    Regarding Nixon, he seems widely regarded as an example of a "solid" ESI typing -- a brief check reveals that he is used as an exemplar of the ESI type by Lytov in his Introduction to Socionics, and was typed so by four socionists in Oleg Khrulyov's Celebrity Benchmark List. If you want to dispute Nixon's type, I have no objections, but it's not accurate to represent your views as being in some way obvious or mainstream, when they clearly represent a new line of thought.

    That said, I remain fascinated by the possibility that you may be unintentionally typing people based on their energy types. I had independently concluded that O'Reilly is a Dominant ESI, and Coulter a Creative SLE, which would seem to be consistent with your ESE and ILE typings.

    I watched the video you posted and I didn't get an obvious typing for either of them, though I lean towards LIE for O'Reilly and either LIE or SLE for Coulter, although these are vague impressions based on what I've seen so far, as I don't follow their careers enough to have a more solid opinion either way.

    The problem I see for O'Reilly as Fi base is that I can't particularly see him as having weak , he seems overtly arrogant in that department. But in terms of him actually making attempts at maintaining an accord, I agree, but this hasn't been uncommon with 's IME

    fwiw, I'm not a fan of either of them and think they're both trolls but I don't necessarily think that points towards ego

    On the second video logo posted, I also have the impression that bill is Dom and Ann is an SLE, I would lean him towards being LIE if I had not known for a fact that he is a dumbass in some Ni issue, he is weak at connecting to things together, so maybe LSE.


    Note: I watch it again and I think O'Reilly is a LSE.

    Seconded. The ESFj typing is just bizarre. Abrupt vibe typing fail.

    Fe is mostly concerned with how one's behaviour affects the mood of the people around them. Fi is concerned with how one's behaviour affects the opinion of others. O'Reilly is clearly concerned with how Coulter's actions affect the opinions of onlookers.

    Feel free to look up the relevant Te data yourself. I've been unable to find any Russian socionist who types Nixon as anything but ESI, and the only English-speaking socionists I could find other than yourself who type him as anything other than ESI usually type him as LIE. I don't have enough interest in ferreting out Te facts to pursue the subject further.

    I'm guessing you regard them as -valuing because they're "confrontational and abrasive" or some such. At least that tends to be what most non- valuers on here primarily think represents. Whereas I think these are simply bad stereotypes.
    This is one area where we disagree, then. In my opinion, most Se-Egos, particularly Beta STs, display "confrontational and abrasive" behaviour to some degree, though not all of them to the extent that Coulter does. It's a stereotype, but in my opinion it's a useful stereotype.

    I haven't researched Nixon as exhaustively as others, but everything I know about him is consistent with ESI.

    As I said, I have no objection to you using all the 1st-hand evidence you want to argue that Nixon is ESI. My objection was merely to your tendency to deride mainstream socionics as if your views were commonly accepted. In effect, you're the one appealing to your own authority; I was just pointing out what the other authorities believe.

    In practice, I treat the typings of the "authorities" as starting points for research. Certain people are more consistently correct in their conclusions, but no-one is 100% accurate at all times (or at least no-one should be treated as such).

    According to DarkAngelFireWolf69, the difference between energy-type and info-type is the difference between actions and words. Info-type is the awareness and processing of incoming information about the world, while energy-type is the tools and methods one uses to interact with the world.

    He also describes them as "Ego-Type" and "Persona-Type". Rick has a good article on the persona here. I would say that DarkAngelFireWolf69's "energy type" is an attempt at classifying people's personas as a second layer of type.

    Then it's clear that we have drastically different opinions on how Se manifests in behaviour. That could account for a significant number of our disagreements on type, if this difference of opinion holds true in a large number of cases.

    this sounds similar to dual-type theory if i'm understanding it right?

    I don't know much about politics at all, but I found Ann Coulter pretty interesting. I wonder what she is like in bed?

    Lots of differing views here, but I think she is a LII !

    And Bill O'Reilly would look like a natural with a mustache. LSI

    So that'd make them a 'comparative' relationship. I can sleep with that.

    Thanks for that, Saoshyant. I needed a good dose of comedy.

    She's probably into pegging.

    To each their own dude, but there's gonna be one woman in that threesome and it ain't gonna be Coulter.
    What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).

    For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

    Not sure if I agree with it. I mean, I agree with dynamic, temporary nature of Fe - more focused on the moment than how it affects the relation, so to speak. But I'm not sure how Fi is supposedly related to affecting the opinion of others, unless you meant their opinion of the person who acts, which obviously affects their attitude to them.

    Feel free to look up the relevant Te data yourself. I've been unable to find any Russian socionist who types Nixon as anything but ESI, and the only English-speaking socionists I could find other than yourself who type him as anything other than ESI usually type him as LIE. I don't have enough interest in ferreting out Te facts to pursue the subject further.
    You're doing your case no favours by playing - and twisting - silly stereotypes. One could just as well say that by looking on others' opinion, you don't consider facts (as their opinion is no fact, which you associate with Te), but a ready-made reasoning (Ti, in this case).

    ... and let's not forget IEIs need to be raped.

    This is one area where we disagree, then. In my opinion, most Se-Egos, particularly Beta STs, display "confrontational and abrasive" behaviour to some degree, though not all of them to the extent that Coulter does. It's a stereotype, but in my opinion it's a useful stereotype.

    Then it's clear that we have drastically different opinions on how Se manifests in behaviour. That could account for a significant number of our disagreements on type, if this difference of opinion holds true in a large number of cases.
    Kind of useful, especially when it comes to Beta STs, but not reliable enough for a typing. Socionics is primarily concerned with information processing, which isn't always consistently reflected in behaviour. I don't know much about people you discuss here, and Ashton's typing are sometimes strange (or hasty, in some cases), but for example a confrontational and abrasive ILE is no oxymoron.

    Dual-type theory is based on DarkAngelFireWolf69's idea of energy types. I don't know at which point or how far tcaud derailed from it.

    I'm starting to notice this (unless it's just my imagination, but since someone else seemed to notice it as well, that's nice).

    Yes (although I'm still not really getting a read on O'Reilly), they seem to have a very communication style to me. I'm pretty comfortable I think with seeing Coulter as Se valuing at the very least (if not an Se ego type). I guess this just comes down to "seeing" the IMEs and how different people see them differently. I mean I see in their exchanges.

    Quote Originally Posted by Words View Post

    this comment may have been more about Fe (I'm not sure), but I'm responding to it as Se in the sense that I think that O'Reilly and Coulter are highly argumentative and confrontational with one another and are both very comfortable with communicating that way and seem to enjoy debating with each other in this way. Any type can be argumentative of course... and lots of people enjoy debating... it's not about that... it's the way in which they communicate going beyond simply being argumentative... it just hits my "Se sensor" and I don't know how to explain it.

    I see her as very rational. I think that some EPs can seem "rational" to me, but I really think she has to be Ij or Ej for the most part.

    I'm not sure about this. I think that Fe ego types can be very concerned with what others think of them... this just seems odd to me, this statement.

    Anyway I think Coulter is Gamma, or I'm leaning that way.

    Actually, the second video there shows Coulter and O'Reilly disagreeing rather strongly. But yes, they do typically agree on fundamental principles and goals, they just often disagree on the best means to achieve those goals.

    The problem I see for O'Reilly as Fi base is that I can't particularly see him as having weak , he seems overtly arrogant in that department. But in terms of him actually making attempts at maintaining an accord, I agree, but this hasn't been uncommon with 's IME
    Well, the issue of O'Reilly's Te vs. Fi is a little tricky, since he often uses both. It's likely that he's either an LIE-ESI or an ESI-LIE, making the distinction between the two rather tricky. In my opinion, he actually focuses more on Fi-related issues (in a Te context of "what is the most effective approach to politics"), and he displays more "stubborn" Creative Se than an LIE would. He reminds me more of LSI than EIE.

    I honestly don't think they're trolls. They have an abrasive and confrontational tone (particularly Coulter), but "troll" implies someone who is more interested in the conflict they generate than the actual issues being discussed, which I don't think is the case. While I'm not a fan of their confrontational tones, and prefer a quieter and more reflective approach myself, I do think they're sincere in their beliefs, and their confrontational tones are just their natural ways of expressing themselves, rather than some sort of "show".

I don't know that I think Fi would be all concerned with how not to offend people (or maybe it would?)?
    In my opinion, that sort of attitude ("I'm just telling it like it is, why should I have to edit myself so as not to offend people?") is more characteristic of Ti-Egos. Fi-Egos are certainly capable of offending people, but when they do so they are fully aware of what they're doing; they fully realize that what they're saying is going to cause offense, and they do it on purpose anyway. That's what O'Reilly is saying when he calls Coulter a "bomb-thrower"; since as an ESI if he said the things she had been saying, it would have been obvious to him that it was going to be offensive, so he assumes that she is also aware of this, and does it on purpose anyway for some reason ("throwing bombs"). Coulter, with her Vulnerable Fi, is not good at estimating how people will respond to what she says, and she doesn't really care, either. She see's O'Reilly's interest in whether people will be offended as irrelevant to her primary Ti-based point.

    In my opinion these are not opposing statements. All humans are concerned, to one degree or another, with how one's behaviour affects others' opinions, because all humans have Fi somewhere in their psyche.

    Coulter, for example, seems to care far less about how her behaviour affects others' opinions, because Fi is her Vulnerable function, and she has learned to disregard it and pretend not to care. O'Reilly cares more about it, because it's an Ego function (or at least a valued function, in the case that he's LIE).

    This place really needs more egos, so they can explain what it's like.
    From my perspective, the reason you find it misleading is because you mistype many non-Se-Egos as Se-Ego, which has forced you to rethink how Se manifests itself in behaviour, and discard "confrontational and abrasive" as diagnostically useful behaviour.

    As I said, not all Se-Egos are quite as confrontational and abrasive as Coulter and O'Reilly are, but all are certainly capable of it, and such behaviour will manifest at least occasionally.

    His harsh behaviour toward his "enemies" and people he disliked, his tendency to operate on a personal level rather than according to abstract logical principles, his general body language indicating an IJ temperament and likely Se-Ego, etc. Since this all correlates well with ESI, leaving no unexplained or contradictory evidence, I see no reason to disagree with the Russians, who I have found to be generally reliable in their typings. Were I to use Nixon as more central evidence, rather than an off-hand comment at the end of a post as an example of a generally agreed-upon ESI, I would obviously do more thorough research.

    Who would you use as an example of a generally agreed-upon ESI?

    I'm not saying you're deliberately trying to portray your opinions as "mainstream" and set yourself up as "the authority", but that is the inevitable effect of your tone in the post I was originally referring to.

    I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. For the record, here's how I describe Fe and Fi:

    Fe is internal dynamics of objects. This means it is an internal thing sometimes expressed externally. Fe is the ever-shifting mood: excitement and passion and emotion. Fe Ego types are good at sensing and influencing their own moods and the moods of others. Being dynamic, Fe moods can shift and change, but this does not mean Fe is shallow: deep and powerful feelings of passion, love, anger, hope, etc., are all Fe. At its strongest, Fe can be an all-consuming fire that overwhelms everything else.

    Fi is internal statics of fields. Fi is all about the connections between people: like and dislike, good relatioships and bad relationships. Fi can be friendship, loyalty, trust, dislike, mistrust, hatred. Fi Ego types are good at determining the status of relationships: which people are to be trusted and which are not, etc. Unlike Fe, Fi is a very stable thing, solid and seldom changing. At its strongest, Fi is an unbreakable bond between people that will resolutely weather all storms and anything that may be thrown at it, or an unswerving loathing that will give no quarter to the enemy.

    Obviously, I wouldn't type someone as Se-Ego solely because they demonstrate abrasive and confrontational behaviour. It's just one piece of evidence, which needs to be corraborated by many other pieces of evidence.

    I think tcaud's derailed pretty far from DarkAngelFireWolf69's theory, but he apparently doesn't agree, so it's up to the impartial reader to decide.
