Socionics Beta types Examples

[Kristiina]

I thought there could be a place to post videos of people who are beta. This could be an open thread which constantly gets bumped up when someone finds something relevant. I'll start with a video that gives me strong ESTp vibes:

[Expat]

This girl is INFp, I think.

[Kristiina]

Oh my. I hadn't realized she was so skinny. This kind of skinny was called "a Buchenwald" in Estonian slang a few years ago (name of one concentration camp) and I totally understand why.

The body language is rather INFp nevertheless.

[ScarlettLux]

Audrey irks me. I am not sure why. I prefer the beautiful Marilyn Monroe =]

[eunice]

I have always thought that Hepburn is an INFj. Just my POV.

[Exodus]

Christopher Langan, ISTj

[Kristiina]

oh wow! Chris Langan! Definitely ISTj. Hahahaa... Listen to how he would rule the world. It's in the beginning (minutes 1-3) of "Chris Langan part 3:

[Park]

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Pc3g76vZo8[/youtube]

She 's like ... lost in space. 04 minutes and 16 seconds of totally pointless blathering. How amazingly repelling.

[ScarlettLux]

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=QA0gjyXG5O0[/youtube]

Wow, he fascinates me.. I couldn't stop watching lol. I love how he pauses after he's done speaking and just stares at the camera

[FDG]

Ah. I've always thought you look like Kristin Kreuk.

[ScarlettLux]

Kristin Kreuk, another actress I get compared to quite often. She's a pretty clear INFp in my opinion.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0frz5xEmc0[/youtube]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpXE4-qHzEA[/youtube]

Hmm, she never struck me as being INFp or Beta in the slightest. She seems like she would revolt from an ESTp/Se dominant.. she just give me the impression of being Gamma/Delta ... a rational one.

[raisonpure]

Nakashima Mika, my clone. She even clasps her hands and leans forward like I do. Kristin Kreuk is way too gushy to be my identical.

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=dIaY17zJNUQ[/youtube]

[raisonpure]

Kristin Kreuk is way too gushy to be my identical.

perhaps I should rethink my own type then.

Besides, I thought it was stereotypical for an INFp to be "gushy"?

Dreamy, yes. Lovers of romances, perhaps. Not gushy, especially at first sight. One thing that other INFps have in common is that I can feel them close the emotional distance when I'm talking to them -- adapting to the person speaking, drawing nearer. Which is what Audrey Hepburn (who's exactly like a bubbly INFp I know) does. Kristin Kreuk is very extraverted in comparison, though?

[Expat]

I have always thought that Hepburn is an INFj. Just my POV.

From that video, I'd say INFp, too.

[Exodus]

I recommend checking out his extremely fascinating theory, CTMU. But be warned: it's heavy on the Ti.

edit: about the staring thing, the director of the show (Errol Morris) uses a technique where the subjects see his face projected on the camera lens, and vice versa, so he's actually looking at the director.

[ScarlettLux]

Maybe you just aren't gushy because you're the "Very Ni" subtype as you say, raisonpure.

I'm quite gushy. Very gushy actually.

[FDG]

I agree the theory is very fascinating, even if kind of out of, well, mind?

[Kristiina]

Mika was typed as clearly ENFj in this thread There is an interview after the song and I the accent is very charming. He's cool.

Part one


Part two

[Kristiina]

I found this in another thread, in a post by msk. This is an ESTp comedian. Very strong body language.

[ScarlettLux]

Mika really reminds me of myself I feel kinda sorry for him ever since I saw that horrid interview with that woman in his type thread .. plus this interview even seems a little awkward - they're not really responding as well to his attempts at making the atmosphere a certain way ... sometimes I try and do that and I get the same reaction. The way he speaks and explains things is similar to me too .. and the bashfulness especially ... following a no reaction from , I start to feel very awkward and I look down and stuff... I see him doing that.

[Gilly]

Chris Langan might be really smart but his theory is kinda silly. He makes a big deal out of the simple fact that an object cannot be defined externally in terms that were meant to describe its inner workings. It's just like how you can't speak meaningfully about a person, whether you mean to describe his/her personality or just external features, by talking about the number of mitochondria in his liver cells. It's impossible to "see the universe" from an external perspective, within the context of anything other than its own contents, so why bother trying to conceptualize or compartmentalize it? It's just an ego yawn for him, I'm sure.

[Gilly]

Here's another example. You can talk all day long about how a TV works to produce colored light that it projects on crystals and yadda yadda yadda, but no matter how much information you gather about how the picture is created and what it may or may not look like from what we know about the internal processes of the TV, you'll never know what's on the screen until you can press the power button and watch. We will never step back and look at the universe from outside of "it," so we will never get the perspective that Langan is trying to imitate.

[Kristiina]

ISTjs. (most are from forum thread)


James Hetfield of Metallica



Richard Dreyfuss @0:20 seconds



General Pervez Musharraf



Enver Hoxha






Russell Crowe (expressions are soooo similar to James Hetfield. And he was typed ISTj in some thread.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdA7eGeXudQ

[Vilzu]

Ex Nightwish vocalist, Tarja Turunen (ESTp I think) Also one of my current favourite songs :

[Expat]

On the Enver Hoxha video, I know it's boring for those who don't understand Albanian (ie nearly everyone, including myself).

But take a look at it -- it's "regimental", collective Fe dual-seeking at its most nightmarish (to me). Hoxha is droning on and on, with a very serious face, but now and then all the audience stands up and aplauds enthusiastically. Hoxha does not show any emotion, he just sucks it from the audience. This is repeated a few times.

In the end, however, as he leaves the auditorium, he displays some Fe himself with individuals (and helping to explain how he managed to climb to power in his early days).

[Kristiina]

russel crowe is estp

I disagree. His body language is IJ>EP. He's calm and static, quite rigid. Calm and deeply in his own world. He barely even makes eye contact. And he looks amazingly similar to James Hetfield and one ISTj professor in my university. Not so much physically, but the facial expressions are very similar.

[Kristiina]

Two videos from http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...ad.php?t=16436 (you'll find comments about these videos there).

SLE and IEI


SLE man and EIE woman

[ScarlettLux]

I like SLEs more than LSIs just based on these videos, but I'm not sure if that means anything. They are just more sharp, more appealing.

[redbaron]

I can agree with P!nk as SLE (every time I listen to her song lyrics I start seeing black circles).

[tereg]

How has nobody mentioned Jim Morrison?

[Ezra]

How has nobody mentioned Jim Morrison?

Good point.

[mas]

this is what i'm curious about at the moment. i've tried self-typing myself and i haven't really come to a conclusion. tests type me as IEE every time, but i still find myself identifying with IEI and EIE types in addition to IEE, and i LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE "beta" music. radiohead, bright eyes, ect. is preferred music really type-related? part of me thinks that different types from different quadras could all like the same music, but the reasons why they enjoy the music would be different.

oh. and first post on this forum. been lurkin for a while possible male NF here.

does anyone have a clue on bruce springsteen's type? my guess is LSI or SLE.

[Computer Loser]

Hey everyone, here are some stereotypical beta types!! Discuss!! Enjoy!!

Male ESTP



Female ESTP



Male ISTJ



Female ISTJ



Male INFP



Female INFP



Male ENFJ



Female ENFJ

[Variant]

How the heck did you get this o.o, seems interesting lol.

[stray]

Hey look, actual human beings.. Adults too. A couple of ESTps who sound fun, and aren't like Suge Knight. And LSIs who aren't primitive fucks. Stop the presses.

[The Ineffable]

Male ESTP: likely SLE, less based on what he says but how he says it and how he comes across.

Female ESTP: T something, can't decide.

Male ISTJ: Ti-something, could be LSI.

Female ISTJ: LSI beyond any doubt.

Male INFP: SEI IMO.

Female INFP: likely EII - talks only about relationships, seems to not be bothered by a structured/scheduled life. Sounds compliant.

Male ENFJ: LSE. Relies on others to provide him with ideals, meaning, value. Inexpressive. Provides physical support and care to others.

Female ENFJ: Not EIE IMO, perhaps LII.

.

[stray]

I dont relate to the iei lady at all really, im not as feely or wishy-washy sounding I hope.

I'm nothing like her, but she's seems like a sweet woman. She said she was a school teacher.. she seems like the kind that'd let me get away with a lot things.

[Galen]

Male ESTP: ESTp, sure, why not. I'm actually kinda not paying attention too hard to him so I'm just going off of sheer vibe.
Female ESTP: ENFj comes to mind before ESTp, although the latter isn't impossible.
Male ISTJ: Kind of a hard call. IXTx could work.
Female ISTJ: Energy-wise, ISTj is a definite possibility.
Male INFP: Seems familiar in a way, but I don't know what way that is. Some non-INTp IP works for me.
Female INFP: Wow, beta NF out the ass. INFp makes sense from her self-description.
Male ENFJ: I, do, not, know. ENFj seems waaaaaay off. ISXp or ENFp would be my guess.
Female ENFJ: Her affect seems wrong for ENFj. I wonder ISTj?

[Gilly]

Male ISTj makes me consider retyping my only close ILE friend He's kind of like this guy mixed with Ed Norton.
