John Travolta I have no solid type impression of -- he comes off as too fake and made-up for me to pin down to a single type, yet maybe that lack of connection says something against his being IXFj. I could buy ESFj for Rotaru, but I don't know anything about her aside from her name and woman on the right I could see as ISFj, although again I don't have the patience to sit through videos of her to solidify my impression. On a tangential note, this is how Rick chooses to describe ESIs (re: woman on right):
Comments:
Rigid and tough. Can get what she wants.
Yet this is not how I would describe ESIs. In fact, this is how I would describe EXTx women. To me, IXFx types are the exact opposite of rigid and tough, they're usually soft-spoken and malleable, willing to bend backwards, tend to dislike conflict, etc. I understand this might be how they come across as to ILEs, but to use this subjective impression as a litmus test all across the board leads to random-ass typings we see above. ISFj and INFj are very, very similar and yet whereas INFj representatives are often spot-on, I don't understand why the deviation shoots up when one letter is changed. Something is amiss here.
