    Default Mythbusters

    Does anyone have a guess at the types of Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters? Also, does their relationship (what we see of it on TV) seem like one of semi-duality?

    I was thinking of making a thread about Jamie and Adam. I found this thread and I'm bumping it.

    What types are they?


    Jamie Hyneman - I propose ISTp.
    Adam Savage - ??? Is he really ENTp (semiduality) or might he be ESTj (mirror)?
    EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.
    E3 (probably 3w4)

    Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

    I had considered INFp for the redhead many times. But the other one still seems ISTp


    Jamie and Adam

    Adam and Jamie

    Could it be similar to the relationship between ISTp and INFp? Is it really super-ego?

    The more I watch, the more I'm sure Adam is ENTp. Jamie could be ISTp.

    The hot chick gets to be SEI because I said so. Also I agree with the above.

    What is the reasoning behind typing Jamie as SLI? I've always thought of him as an LII -- his stiff IJ posture, his eccentricities, his individualistic fashion sense (beret and walrus goatee). There was one episode where they tested Cabin Fever by spending 48 hours in isolated cabins, and Jamie spent a long time just sitting and staring out the window, and also took the opportunity to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. When the test was over, he even said he was "just starting to get into it".

    I'm not sure how an SLI would respond to being locked in a cabin for 48 hours, but I'm pretty sure it would not include rewriting the U.S. Constitution!

    In another thread that I made of them a year ago.

    Most people agreed they were LII and SEI.

    The LII is obvious, though the SEI I don't know...

    His obvious Fe-PoLR. If he's not SiTe, then he's NiTe.

    his stiff IJ posture


    He doesn't seem particulary stiff here.

    his eccentricities, his individualistic fashion sense (beret and walrus goatee).
    TiNe's usually don't seem superficially eccentric and usually dress plainly and "normally". Those certainly don't point to TiNe. Only when you know them and start listening to what they say, the may start sounding "eccentric".

    ...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

    The only guy with a stiff posture in that picture is the asian on the left.
    And what about rewriting the US constitution is system building? Don't SLIs build things also?
