Agreed with the cool guy sentiment. I get some sort of IP from him, probably Sx-primary as well.

[munenori2]

He's amaaazing!

[Beautiful sky]

SEI or SLI; more likely SEI

[Creepy-pokeball]

Sometimes he has gingervitis...



and sometimes he has kickassitis.

[silke]

sounds dynamic IP + positivist, which means either ISTp or INFp
I'm inclined towards SLI-Te (sx/sp) typing for him

some of his quotes:

"I write a list of characteristics down on the page. From those characteristics, I tick the ones I think I have available to myself, and then the ones that I don't... I find them. They're in there somewhere. We're all pretty much the same. We're all built up of the same things. So it's just a matter of investigating and being honest with yourself. And then hopefully doing justice to people you're trying to portray -- and never judging them."

"I think we're all pretty capable of doing pretty hideous things. And then we're also capable of humanity and positivity. In "Fish Tank," Connor the character is very much the catalyst for Mia to get up and out of there. He was the only person in her life that was giving her some sort of confidence and telling her that she was special and that she should follow her dreams. And then of course, he breaches the line and abuses that trust. But he brings a lot of good into her life as well. And that's the thing. It's not so clear cut and there's a lot of grey areas that are interesting to investigate.

"It's hard to pinpoint any one thing. By spending a lot of time with them in terms of the script, you start to try and understand behavioral patterns. And by doing that you start to reflect on yourself and you look around those in and around you. You just try and understand. I think that's sort of a major part of my job. Not necessarily to have all the answers, but to try and understand their motivations. When you get that, then you figure out what sort of moral compass they have and how that differs from you. Those sort of questions you ask yourself. This is all kind of boring because it's all my homework."

"And I think it's down to a society that's quite driven by anxiety. People are confused. It's an overload of information. So people sort of have strange ways of expressing themselves through out those mediums. It's this whole idea of access to excess. That's basically what we have."

"But I think a lot of us in this world are trying to figure out what we're doing here, how we relate to each other and how we relate to ourselves. Why do we do certain things and what sparks those motivations or those actions? It's always interesting just to investigate those things. Again, I'd be lying if I said I had any of the answers to these things. But it's just good to be asking the questions and be provoking these thoughts."

"And that's what I think is interesting about these two projects. And that's what interests me with most things. To have ambiguous characters that aren't sort of clear cut in being good or bad. Now the audience is mostly in a very safe place. They know who they should be rooting for and it's all very easy to sit there and eat your popcorn and not be challenged. Whereas I think films like this are more challenging to the audience. They have to participate more. And that's what excites me personally."

"I'll give you the similarities between them first, because I think it's more interesting, really. Because they have hugely different personalities... I'm sure you noticed that from just meeting them. But what's great is that they love working with actors. And they both have a real interest in the human condition. Both of them are always investigating and asking questions. They're also both very intelligent people and very aware of the world around them. And very highly read, and also very confident in themselves... Which is a great attribute to have as a leader. People will follow you if you're not afraid to look stupid or vulnerable or feminine or nerdish. This is life, and this is happening, and it shouldn't be shied away from. It shows a great amount of strength. And on top of it all, they have a great sense of humor. We have a lot of fun on set and I think they trust me because they know I go away and I do my homework and I come to the table with something. It might not be the right thing, but I'm trying something out. It's a very collaborative experience."

"In terms of Freud and Jung, we take for granted a lot of the teachings these guys are the forefathers of. The idea that our bodies are responsible for so many things in childhood. How we relate to excrement, anus, parents, vagina, penis... Nobody was dealing with these sort of things in the early 1900s. And Freud was like, "This is going to reoccur in your adult life because of the experiences you had with this in your formative years." This is a language we understand very well now because it's part and parcel with our everyday lives. The idea of an introverted personality or an extroverted personality comes from Jung."

[Tigerfadder]

ESE, I know someone that act a lot the same and even look a lot same.

EIE-Fe

(And this typing isn't just based on V.I., I've watched a big number of interviews with him before.
But one V.I thing I could point out, is his intense smile in the first picture which is characteristic of Fe lead, in particular EIE-Fe.)

[mclane]

I think he is ILI-Te.

That's an interesting type for Fassbender! Some of his facial expressions remind me of Tom Hiddleston. How would you type him?

[Chae]

wouldn't surprise me if he values Fe

[sbbds]

Assbender

[necrosebud]

Si lead is not an unreasonable typing for him...
