Tobias Schneebaum, anthropologist

[implied]

an interesting fellow who was a painter and later on an anthropologist. once, he participated in ritualistic cannibalism. although this wasn't the main focus of his life, it's certainly the focus of the documentary he starred in.


i think one of the most outstanding features of his personality was his ability to nearly completely assimilate into the cultures he studied. and to do so very respectfully. he seemed to gain people's trust easily.

INFj?

Or maybe ENTp.

[implied]

hmm. i never thought of ENTp. i suppose it's a possibility. he just seemed very withdrawn and kind of not as hyper/crazy/effusive like i want to associate with ENTps. we came up with some sort of INTx.

[olduser]

VIs as INTp. That adaptablity sounds fantastic. I wonder about his methods. I imagine his actions were based in caution, restraint, collaboration, and using the instincts of human nature more than language for communcation.

oh boy

might he be ENFj?

[implied]

might he be ENFj?

i really doubt it. he seemed to willing/able to adapt to cultures, which isn't the ENFj's forte.

if not INTp, then ENTj subtype, maybe? he seems so damned I.
