Does anyone have a guess at the types of Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters? Also, does their relationship (what we see of it on TV) seem like one of semi-duality?

That faith makes blessed under certain circumstances, that blessedness does not make of a fixed idea a true idea, that faith moves no mountains but puts mountains where there are none: a quick walk through a madhouse enlightens one sufficiently about this.

That or mirrors.
Love that show.
I was thinking of making a thread about Jamie and Adam. I found this thread and I'm bumping it.
What types are they?
Jamie Hyneman - I propose ISTp.
Adam Savage - ??? Is he really ENTp (semiduality) or might he be ESTj (mirror)?
EIE, ENFj, intuitive subtype.
E3 (probably 3w4)
Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

ISTp - ENTp or INTp - ESTp.
That redhead is INFp btw.
I had considered INFp for the redhead many times. But the other one still seems ISTp
Jamie and Adam
Adam and Jamie
Could it be similar to the relationship between ISTp and INFp? Is it really super-ego?

The more I watch, the more I'm sure Adam is ENTp. Jamie could be ISTp.

Adam Savage - ILE
Jamie Hyneman - SLI

What is the reasoning behind typing Jamie as SLI? I've always thought of him as an LII -- his stiff IJ posture, his eccentricities, his individualistic fashion sense (beret and walrus goatee). There was one episode where they tested Cabin Fever by spending 48 hours in isolated cabins, and Jamie spent a long time just sitting and staring out the window, and also took the opportunity to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. When the test was over, he even said he was "just starting to get into it".
I'm not sure how an SLI would respond to being locked in a cabin for 48 hours, but I'm pretty sure it would not include rewriting the U.S. Constitution!
In another thread that I made of them a year ago.
Most people agreed they were LII and SEI.
The LII is obvious, though the SEI I don't know...
His obvious Fe-PoLR. If he's not SiTe, then he's NiTe.
his stiff IJ posture
He doesn't seem particulary stiff here.
TiNe's usually don't seem superficially eccentric and usually dress plainly and "normally". Those certainly don't point to TiNe. Only when you know them and start listening to what they say, the may start sounding "eccentric".his eccentricities, his individualistic fashion sense (beret and walrus goatee).

...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.
INTp
What makes you say he has Fe-PoLR rather than Fe-DS? It doesn't seem obvious to me, but I might be missing something.
TiNe types dress conservatively, yes, because they're not very confident in the use of Si and don't like to draw attention to it. But their fashion sense can be influenced by their Ne ("You know, a beret seems like a neat idea"), which sometimes results in a subtly individualistic look. Y'know, like Jamie.
Also, like I said before, SLIs don't typically draft new versions of the U.S. constitution for fun. That indicates Ti system building coupled with Ne abstraction, to me.
The only guy with a stiff posture in that picture is the asian on the left.
And what about rewriting the US constitution is system building? Don't SLIs build things also?

okay, why?
(Si ESFj could be a nice typing actually, but what are your reasons?)
Personas dont really matter. Your type will leak through any role you try to play.
Whilst I agree that many ESFj's can be serious business (especially Fe ESFj 3w2!), I think a shot of her in a business suit is silly for typing purposes (but ur prolly jokin right!)
The end is nigh
Like now for instance, you have switched to an IEE persona, howeveverererererre you can't manage to stop being so goddamn Fe valuing and its embedded in everything you maketh.
Seriousness is not type related and if it was than being serious in one instnce is no correlation so stop being a sill.

Johnny Depp floats around Gamma.
And to clarify, I'm speaking of something more subtle. Like, "Hmm he said all the right things, but the delivery was totally off. Just didnt feel right."
You could mimic energy levels (temperament) and maybe stereotypical traits, but the actual essence of that type will be missing and the observer will notice in some way.

ah i c.
Yes ENTp would not blow my mind either.
Well we know shes Alpha at least!

Having recently viewed a couple of episodes of Mythbusters (including the Cabin Fever one), I can see where you're coming from. To be honest, he's so inexpressive that it's hard to get a read on what is going on inside his head, and the format of Mythbusters doesn't give a lot of opportunity for personality analysis. An in-depth Charlie Rose style interview would probably make things clearer (Charlie Rose = God's greatest gift to celebrity typers everywhere. )
Not that you're wrong, but everyone seems extroverted on that show. They're all making use of their extroverted elements. It's a TV show that conducts scientific experiments. However that doesn't mean there is no evidence of introverted elements, I just think the show captures more of the extroversion, so she could still be an Fe-SEI.
After watching this video again, I remembered why I type her as Si ISFp.
This is based partly on my experiences with people like her (not much use to you guys), but also on her sorta shy demeanor, general relaxedness, and mostly down played movements. Idk the relaxed-adaptive Ip temperament seems to fit much better than a more motivated Ej type. I think she's more comfortable on mythbusters with all the Alphas and she is more "extraverted" there. However, Si ESFj is my second choice.
The end is nigh
She strikes me as more ESE-ish in that video. If I didn't know anything about socionics and saw that video, I would have called her an extravert.
Also: do SEIs do a lot of world travelling? That seems like a more typically ESE activity to me, but obviously there could be exceptions.
Well do we mean "object focused" by extravert or "socially open and gregarious/interactive"?
Now there is some correlation true, but I've always felt the latter was unreliable in typing and seems pretty characteristic for an ISFp anyways, especially one on a talk show.
I dont think world travelling is type related
world domination maybe.
The end is nigh
lol yeah probs.
