[spoil:2c720c495a]well obviously they can't get rid of her entirely... she's a main character... I was hoping for at least a few starbuck free episodes though[/spoil:2c720c495a]
WTF!Originally Posted by Joy
seems Fi to me *shrugs*
he doesn't exactly have one specific type, imo
ESTJ

ESTJ
are you fucking daft woman?
I don't see it. There are some ESTj traits there, but overall, I definitely see more Fi than Te. And I see more Te than Fi in Roslin.
I have no idea how you come to these conclusions, my brain hurts trying to reason them... I think your using the functions?.... personally I find it's better to use actual descriptions... descriptions describe patterns of behaviour and patterns of behaviour are what makes types viewable. This being said Admirable Adama remains by my vote ISTj. The President remains ENFj. The recent episodes dealing with class and aristocracy are telling of their regime. It makes complete sense that Beta quadra members would be most successful at taking control in a time of crisis because they're most willing to take the extreme measures necessary, and indeed extreme measures have been repeatedly taken. Admiral Adama is not ESTjOriginally Posted by Joy
ISTj
Mood
tough, controlling, serious, decisive, tough-minded, disciplined, mistrustful; stand their ground
the type descriptions on this site should be read (or other type descriptions at least) before making any judgments
His relations with the president (ENFj) and with Starbuck (ESTp) further establish his basic viewable personality as ISTj. Using functions to describe what type he is will backfire because we'll end up arguing over semantics. I think people should start using descriptions more. Once i translate Filatova's ISTj description this will all become more clear. If Adama has seemed "more F" lately it's because the influence of the president, rewind and you'll realize he was not like that before they got close. Duty and responsibility are paramount to no type (in general) more so than the ISTj. An example of an ESTj would be his exo. If it was a peaceful era than an ESTj would make a better leader but it's not so an ESTj wouldn't make a good leader - why? because he would have crappy relations with the people he needs to work with - (i.e. Relations between the exo and Starbuck)
Anyways nothing in this thread has done anything to change my views on these. I wasn't able to type Adama or the President until the end of the second season because I recognized the need for caution. By "type" I mean I am typing the RL people that these characters are based upon. This is what makes characters typeable, any good writer bases his/her characters on real life examples and that's why they have strengths/weaknesses.
If you guys doubt my typing than please tell me why and I will use evidence to show you how I came to what I did.
If I sound forceful it's only because we're here to learn. I think people just saying "he's xxxx"!!!! is a stupid way to type someone, it leads to misunderstandings and then instead of actually discussing things like adults we look at each other's observations and are like "omg that idiot does not know what the fuck they're talking about" and then our brain hits the "ignore" button and nothing useful ends up being discussed.
Is Starbuck the only character we agree with thus far? ESTp? good. ok so let's do this reasonably, using her as a focal point, because it's the only person we agree with, we should begin trying to agree on other types in the hopes that we might learn something....

sigh
I propose that we speak only in terms of information elements for this thread: Ne, Ni, Se, Si, Te, Ti, Fe, and Fi. No? Oh well, thought I'd give it a shot.
I find that this doesn't work because it restricts the conversation A LOT. Information elements require an "expert" level of socionics, which, quite frankly, I don't think we have. Thus we all end up confused and unsatisfied, we should simplify things as much as possible, hence my focus on descriptionsOriginally Posted by Joy
I see where you're coming from, and maybe it's just my self-doubt or incompetence, but I don't think we'll get anywhere like that

Okay, I have an idea. http://the16types.info/forums/viewto...=189755#189755
I'm back to ISFj for Lee.
Don't read this spoiler unless you've already seen the latest episode, or you don't care:
[spoil:be5988b23e]Who do you think the 5th is? It would be polite to answer in a spoiler like this.[/spoil:be5988b23e]
And I have since stopped watching the show entirely because of poorly written episodes, plots, and characters and a severe drop in the quality of the show. So Lee's type does not matter much to me any more than whether or not they even find Earth or whether humanity is wiped out of existence by the cylons.

There have been some stupid filler episodes, but I disagree that the writing is poor. I find the characters believable and flawed, and the writing and main plot captivating.Originally Posted by Logos
continued from here
I think I see Fi as well. He seems to have a deep well of feeling beneath the somewhat hardened exterior. I currently think he's ESI.
I don't know what to think of Admiral Adama and President Rosalin anymore.
they aren't properly cast, but the characters types are ISTj (Adama) and ENFj (Roslin), they have beta values to the max. Note how Adama is softened by Roslin and how Roslin is hardened by Adama. Roslin's focus on dreams (Ni) and proohecy. Adama's sobre realism: when he's talking to Lee and asks Lee whether he loves a girl (I forget who exactly) but Lee says "I think I do", and Adama responds "If you think you love someone then you love them" (Ti)

possible typings if this show is as beta as ron moore's other shows (such as outlander)
Commander Adama - LSI sp/so
Kara - SLE so/sx
Gaius Baltar - ILE sx/so
Laura Roslin - EIE (?) sp/so
Lee Adama IEI (?) sx/sp
Saul Tigh - LSE

Roslin is concerned about the future of mankind and its survival, isn't that Fe beta? (Real question I'm a noob) and she leads these people to Earth based on visions and dreams she has while on drugs, she believes in them hard as wood, I'd say Ni based on nothing factual. She's acting like a president but her beliefs show. I need to rewatch it.
I've been watching this over the last month when I need to break from fixing electronics and applying for jobs. Still need to watch the last two episodes.
Kind of disappointed. Way too much drama.
The Cylons started by hating humanity, but they never really grew out of it or learned that they weren't much different. And humanity never trusted them either. Even going so far as to constantly claim they are machines and don't feel things like them. There was no philosophical exploration of consciousness, morality, and the dynamic between cylons and humans (and they are VERY similar).
You also expect characters to learn and grow, but none of them seemed to at all (well aside from the cylon romances). Gaeta's mutiny and death kind of sucks. They ruined an otherwise interesting character. Dee shooting herself was weird. I don't think any of the characters on the show really learned from anything that happened up to this point. Everyone was always reacting, human and cylon. Cavill seems to embody the worst in humanity, despite being cylon. He thinks he's somehow different and better than humanity and the other cylons, ironically, a VERY human quality.
Rosalind was too preachy. There was a moment when she wanted to kill Tyrell's Boomer cylon romance and she was VERY cold about it when he was clearly protesting. The obsession with cylons as machines by her was very annoying. She seemed to always take a moral high-ground, but then lacked compassion in a lot of ways.
General Impressions
I think Adama was basically LSE.
Rosalind probably EII.
Starbuck kind of gave me SEE-Se vibes.
Saul seemed like a messed up SLE.
Baltar - Alpha NT
Number Six feels weirdly ESE/SEI?
Gaeta - LSI?
D'anna - some NF, not EII.
edit: well Baltar actually did grow a bit on the show. I sort of forgot about him. That's a big exception. I'm kind of wondering if it's because one of the writers is ILE.
