    I'd start my own gang. The common sense gang. Wouldn't get very many members though.

    As you've noticed the similarity with you. He has ILE.
    In case he has public accounts it's not hard to offer him a test. And same as you he may get ILE (or close) by it.

The type of person who might go to him for therapy or talks, or who might believe the esoteric ideas he was spouting at the time. Thus it's possible that he did not categorize all humans into types, but just made subtypes for a specific type of person. This overarching type of person is the same type that is heavily interested in theories of this kind, and whom Alive says is an IEI.

    Therefore, Alive is right. We are all IEIs with subtypes. With that, I'm off this forum

    Imagine being so insecure that you follow someone around a forum and obsess over 5 minute videos of strangers on the internet.


    If you believe you can type someone from 2 minutes of video, chances are you aren't very good at typing people.

    He has tough badass exterior persona facade. He seems very sensitive beyond his facade, not that Ti-egos can't be sensitive, but he doesn't seem competent and certain in his thinking. In other words, he doesnt seem to analyze things from a detached point of view, when he is talking he seems like he is trying to make sense of his attitude. Besides, generally LSIs are the least daring Se egos out there, they generally seem like people who have common sense rather than having in your face attitude that ESIs more prone to have.

    I don't see Fi in him (strong convictions, moral judgement, psychological distance). I'm not an expert with typing but to me Eminem is ISTj, his lyrics are more detached analyses of society than Fi-related "confessions" so to speak. Take something like "Criminal":

    My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge
    That'll stab you in the head
    Whether you're a fag or lez
    Or the homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest
    Pants or dress, hate fags?
    The answer's "yes"
    Homophobic?
    Nah, you're just heterophobic
    Starin at my jeans, watchin' my genitals bulgin'


    Seems more of a logical type to me.

    I see Fi in him, most of his lyrics are based on his personal life and some could be taken as confessions. LSI would be less prone to reflect his personal life to his lyrics like he does. He generally works with Fi/Te egos: 50 cent, rihanna, dr dre, joyner lucas, etc. He is good at managing psychological distance and creating personal bonds. I watched lots of interviews of him, he generally gives short answers which could be an IJ thing, however, he never seems to be sure in his thinking like a T ego would. Generally ExI males are more prone to be creative subtype in two subtype system. They would more prone to show Ti role in public. Fi bases are generally more prone to adopt a poker face. Ti egos naturally seem detached and their general emotional state is more prone to be dependent on external. Eminem's emotional state is generally stable and same in all of his interviews in different timeleness, ofcourse there could be a few exceptions. This is an indication of Fe ignoring/polr rather than Fe seeking.

    "He is good at managing psychological distance and creating personal bonds"..
    yeah, nothing screams great theory of mind and interpersonal intelligence more than writing a song about killing your wife addressed to your own baby daughter and performing it in front of her and thousands of other fans that are simultaneously calling her names and threatening to kill her/wishing she would die as a result... as well as wanting to get back together with her shortly thereafter.

    I think so too. People are associating aggression and feeling with FiSe which technically speaking makes prototypical sense but the whole picture does not seem to be taken into account. You cannot exclusively equate general emotional reactivity with feeling types.. at the end of the day we're all human beings, regardless of the way we metabolize information (re: typology) and CP6s of any type are always going to be obtusely combative.

    Eminem is notably analytical. Even the way he describes his songwriting and rhyming words in particular is distinctly .
    He essentially approaches it as a science/body of information one's supposed to break down, talked about how he'd be thinking of words that potentially rhyme with one another all day long, how he'd carry this vocabulary with him so that he could have as many words as possible in his disposal in order to quote-in-quote lock them away in his mind and about how he'd (and still does) physically keep around a stupefying amount of small pieces of paper with rhymes and/or phrases he could use in the future.

    Habitually treating understanding and rhyming words in such an objective way as if it were a cipher to be cracked doesn't seem > ... at all. His most "emotional" songs also simply read like analysis paralysis which is quite congruent with manifestation of neurosis in Ti egos more than anything. His whole disposition screams -seeking and i mean this in a bad way since the fxn seems to be distinctly not well-developed.

    His disposition seem nothing like Fe-seeking since mood of Fe seeking individuals changes according to the people who surronds them. Eminem's mood doesn't change much according to people who surrond him.

    That's a nice way to put it. I like how you approach this typing thing at large.

    I think Eminem is EII. The “aggression” is an act/coping mechanism from his childhood

    Watching this show, American Oz, about L. Frank Baum..... https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexp...s/american-oz/

    think Baum could have been EIE and his wife LSI.... a bit surprised by that I guess, suppose I haven’t thought about it that much before and I haven’t seen anything on this forum about them or the Oz books...

    if anyone has any thoughts about it, figured I’d throw it out there

    I think she's EIE. Very much Fe.

    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    Rebecca Gordon seems like an EIE
    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

    Sicuramente cercherai il significato di questo.

    I think he is an EIE Harmonizing. I saw the documentary some years ago.



    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
