benjamin - nervous INTj, ya?

[implied]

although i admit that dustin hoffman's incredible natural INTp-ness totally gets in the way of ever typing him as something else.asdfasdfasdf

[Dioklecian]

If I may suggest, Hoffman seems to me to be INFP, but I could certainly be wrong.

[Creepy-bg]

such a good movie!

[Exodus]

I think INFp.

[implied]

I think INFp.

for the character or for hoffmann? i could be swayed to INFp for hoffmann. i think he's dominant at any rate.


mrs. robinson - some sort of SJ, i assume.

Actually INFp was for Hoffman, I'm not totally sure which he is, but leaning to INFp.

As for the characters, she's ISFj and he's INTp. Good example of an Aggressor/Victim Activity relationship, right?

why not INTj? i saw her as a total aggressor, as well. i didn't immediately think ISFj though, honestly. aren't they pretty much known for their ability to remain faithful?

Maybe. Known also, maybe, for their ability to emotionally manipulate others (Fi) using sex (Se). What other Se type fits better? She had Ij self-control, and was confident in ethics, unlike Hoffman's character Ben.

The main impressions I got of Ben were his inability to verbalize his thoughts (Ni + weak Fe) and his extreme awkwardness in social situations (Fe PoLR), which was the focus of much of the movie.

you mean the part where she's like, "bah, it was a shotgun wedding, i'm justified in cheating." i don't know if that's ISFj . this actually seems more logical to me, somehow. i could buy ISFj or ISTj .

INTjs are not socially awkward?

I haven't seen it in a while, so I'm going to refer to the script.

MRS. ROBINSON
May I ask you a question?

Ben looks at her.

MRS. ROBINSON
What do you think of me?

BEN
What do you mean?

MRS. ROBINSON
You've known me nearly all of
your life. You must have
formed some opinion.

BEN
Well - I've always thought
that you were a very - nice -
person.

MRS. ROBINSON
Did you know I was an alcoholic?

BEN
What?

MRS. ROBINSON
Did you know that?

BEN
Look - I think I should be
going -

MRS. ROBINSON
Sit down, Benjamin.

BEN
Mrs. Robinson - if you don't
mind my saying so - this
conversation is getting a
little strange. Now I'm sure
that Mr. Robinson will be here
any minute and -

MRS. ROBINSON
No.

BEN
What?

MRS. ROBINSON
My husband will be back quite
late.

They look at each other. Ben is half standing.

MRS. ROBINSON
He should be gone for several
hours.

She is very deliberate about the impression each statement is making on Ben. An ISTj would not be nearly so controlled about things like that. She hides what she is really thinking for a significant period of time, and is perfectly comfortable with it. ISTjs are more straight-to-the-point.

The main impressions I got of Ben were his inability to verbalize his thoughts (Ni + weak Fe) and his extreme awkwardness in social situations (Fe PoLR), which was the focus of much of the movie.

INTjs are not socially awkward?

They are, but INTj Fe is stronger than INTp Fe, so there is a difference.
