Quentin Tarantino

[EyeSeeCold]

Pulp Fiction

Mia Wallace: EIE-Fe, 7w8 sx/sp (ENFP)

Kill Bill

Beatrix Kiddo: ESI-Se, 6w7 sp/sx (ENTJ)

I see both Mia and Beatrix as SLE. I haven't deeply analyzed the characters but based off common stereotypes I got the ESTP vibe.

[xerx]

Jackie Brown: ESI (or LSI as an interesting alternative).
Max Cherry: Gamma NT.

[xerx]

Rservoir Dogs

Joe Cabot: SLE (definition of commanding presence)
Mr. Pink: ILI (the one who spoke out against the Betas collective moral code / group-consensus regarding tipping the waitresses).
Mr. Brown / Quentin Tarantino: SEE (most of what he says is purely for impact).

Activity relations:

Nice Guy Eddie: EIE
Mr. Blonde: SLE

Mr. White: LSI
Mr. Orange: IEI


Most of these are probably equal to the real-life actors.

[Exodus]

I saw the last half of Pulp Fiction again and there were some really funny relationship scenes.

Vincent: IEE
Jules: SLE (maybe EIE)
Winston Wolf: LSI
Marcellus: some Si type

Notice how Jules thinks Wolf is a cool guy, but Vincent thinks he's a jerk? He gets pissed off when Wolf starts issuing orders and stuff. Vincent also is really skeptical of Jules' interpretations of miracles and such.

I didn't really get a read on the other characters, but I think Jimmy is just QT trying to be cool.

[gooey]

I know there are other threads on him, but they weren't very helpful.



He's very obviously an extrovert and, to me at least, seems perceiving. I've heard people say he's ENTj but I just don't see it. Thoughts?

[Korpsy Knievel]

Maybe you're doing insufficient amounts of nose candy to understand him properly.

[zomgqwantz]

eie imo

People don't know sh** about serious types. He's about as EP, and merry as you can get. Just look at his temperament and how he's speaking/acting. Probably ESTp > ENTp, decisive > judicious.

[The Ineffable]

've heard people say he's ENTj but I just don't see it. Thoughts?

In fact he looks like an LIE, IMO. But that's that, I type him IEI.

[gooey]

ESTp isn't a bad typing at all IMO. ENFj isn't bad either but he just seems much more flexible and adaptable based on his general temperament for me to see him as anything but a perceiving type. I think IEI is not a very good typing...I don't mean to be offensive or anything, I just think it's rather unlikely.

[Gilly]

Dorky SLE-Se

Can't be anything but Beta, watching his movies tells it all.

[mikemex]

He's too akward to be SLE. And besides, his energy levels point to Ej temperament. I'd say LIE or EIE but I tend to see the Fe role..

His energy level points to pronounced Extroversion. He is too awkward to be an Ethical type; have you ever met an SLE computer nerd before? Can you not see this guy just ripping into motherfuckers on 4chan?

[munenori2]

I tend to like his movies, even the ones that I don't like as a whole I can appreciate parts or aspects of them. He used to sort of weird me out but I think that's because of the roles he plays as an actor, but actually hearing him talk about films and stuff he seems not so bad after all. Still, he sort of butchered Iron Monkey in directing its transition, and I'm still butthurt about that.

[Radio]

rational type makes no sense. he doesn't have the same sense of...control, or self-conscious presentation (if that's the word).
anyway, ENTp, but i could be swayed towards ESTp.

[ashlesha]

when i saw kill bill i felt like i learned a little about the concept of se via osmosis. not seeing a judicious type. between estp and entj, his energy is more ep but i could see an argument for si polr there too and im partial. havent ever watched an interview with his type in mind or anything and don't feel like giving it more thought than this.

lol @ gillys 4chan comment

[woofwoofl]

Dead set on Se-SLE. I know a dorky Se-SLE who's probs 7w6, same nervous spastic energy and his eyes look like they're ready to fucking explode out of his head...

One of my best friends growing up had the same thing going on, he was SEE-Fi, but he had that same kind of feeling of being intimidatingly dorky that Tarantino has.

[Absurd]

Seems Ep, I think, so SLE can work. Damn funny how he throws his hands around and didn't pluck his eyes out yet. Actually prefer Rodriguez over Tarantino, but he had couple fine ones as well.

[mikemex]

have you ever met an SLE computer nerd before?

Yes, I met one yesterday, actually and he was nothing like Tarantino. I was going to purchase an LCD cable for a laptop and he gave me the wrong one but since I said it in front of his colleages, he felt the "punch to his ego" and started to compete with me saying that the model I was claiming about didn't exist, as if he knew everything (it does by the way, but since I couldn't care less about proving it, I simply said nothing). Many computer nerds are always trying to show off (Fe HA), that's how you spot them being ExTp. And he was a jerk. If you ask me, which of these two hidden agendas is more likely for Tarantino: Fe or Se, I would pick the latter.

And about energy levels, the difference between Ej and Ep temperament is fluctuation. Ej types are high on energy and pretty stable (like Tarantino), Ep types are not always displaying such high levels.

I agree EPs tend to fluctuate in their energy, but it doesn't mean they are not generally high-energy. Who knows what Tarantino is like behind the scenes? None of us. But he definitely does not always showcase the overtly nervous energy he seems to have in that Letterman interview. In fact I would say manifesting that level of energy in such an open way, and not being more controlled/harnessed, is a big point against EJ temperament.

For a good example of EJ temperament, watch this interview of Bill Clinton:



Even when he is obviously getting agitated and excited, he never loses his composure, everything he says always seems very precisely calculated and well put-together.

For another example, look at Christopher Hitchens, LSE. If you watch interviews where he gets pissed off, you will see he is very composed, despite being obviously super pissed, right up too the point of actually losing his shit, in which case he completely explodes. Tarantino is much more sort of lackadaisical and casual feeling; even though he is very rapid and direct, you can tell he is just talking off the top of his head, not being as careful and deliberate about how he says what he says, or generally how he presents himself.

Oh, and if you are going to incorporate your personal experience in discussions, please try to be a little more objective about it...

Show some respeck, homie.

[Radio]

yeah, so i was right, people have known since 2006.

[Absurd]

Who is mikemex?

[mikemex]

Show some respeck, homie.

Thanks Gilly.

[SyrupDeGem]

I don't like him, i don't trust him. I think he is a weasel. Maybe ESTp

[Gilly]

Let me be a little more precise.

Mikemex has been around since the beginning, and has only recently started posting again. You, on the other hand, have had a year here, with the benefit of the cumulative knowledge of members who have learned a lot more about Socionics, and typing in particular, since mikemex was a regularly contributing member. I'm saying you shouldn't be so quick to call him stupid, firstly because he's not, and secondly because you should know that he hasn't had the time to catch up on everything we have accumulated and learned since he was a regular.

Basically you got spoonfed the refined final product, while mike is still probably in the process of catching up since his absence.

So try not to be a little bitch, k?

I'm in no defence of the legion here, Gilly, Gamma legion, Delta legion, Alpha legion and Beta legion, I'm in business for myself, I leave when I want to and how I want to, but thing is, agreeing with mikemex what you do here, covertly, tales a tale. Old members know shit, new ones, don't which means I stop posting now and come back after four years and I know stuff, but I have to catch up on some forum drama - that's what it means.

So, while you're agreeing with mikmex and disagreeing with Gamma legion, makes your position perfectly unclear. Ep or Ej?

Doesn't change the fact he flaps his arms around.

Oh absurd.

I mean what I said, please don't play. I don't think mike knows more; I just think Radio is being a brat.

Everyone is the critic nowadays.

Oh absurd, I've always been the critic.

There is a space missing between korpsey and Gravolez, did you know that?

OK, you're right. I was/am having one of my mean spells and mikemex didn't need to take the brunt of it.

[Gilly]

Dude, right on. It takes real self-control to admit that. Props.

I don't fit in lines. My ego is too fat.

[Absurd]

Good for you. You know, when some people, there is a name for them, try to change themselves forcefully and be like some other people/person, they develop self hate. Such people think you're superior, that you feel superior and via that comparison made they feel inferior about it - that's ego projection.

[Gilly]

Good for you.

[strangeling]

Maybe you're doing insufficient amounts of nose candy to understand him properly.

And if you need to know what's sufficient, just ask k0rpsey because he's experienced.
