Another brief description

[Expat]

I'm interested in how accurate very brief descriptions by non-socionists can be.

What follows are the first impressions of the now-wife of a major European public figure when first meeting him, as she herself told an interviewer.

She says she found him, as a boy,

scatter-brained, fun, a joker, funny -- and a bit of a hooligan

.

Meeting him again after many years, she found

a taciturn man, with flashes of melancholy, who suddenly switches from a hearty laugh, from larking about, from a dirty joke, from eating watermelon in a London cab while wearing evening dress, to being plunged into a dark silence.

Does that suggest any particular type to you?

IxTP

ENTp or INFp.

[Dioklecian]

ESTJ/Estp perhaps?

ENTp

Right.

That is how the present Queen of Spain, Sofia, saw her husband, King Juan Carlos, when she first met him.

Actually I have typed him as ISFp, and I thought that description pointed towards it. I could see ISTp as possible, but not ENTp.

I guess that the only thing you all saw was the irrationality, but I thought that his up-and-down moodiness was more clearly typical of ISFps. Oh well.

Dioklecian, how could you possibly have thought of ESTj? If you're going to say something like, "because that is just like an ESTj I know", then chances are that you have mistyped him.

This is the sort of thing that prevents people from taking your typings seriously.
