    Yeah, traveling around like that has got to be pretty rewarding. Never seen Globe Trekker! At least the title doesn't strike a cord.
    it's a great show... they show it on the Travel channel (or PBS if you live in the US)

    Good Eats is definitely my favorite show on that network, and Alton Brown is by far the most entertaining host. My INFj sister almost always just has the Food Network on in her room for background noise.

    If you didn't know socionics you may need to know how to sooth your human interaction incompetences by preparing appealing foods, yes.

    You think knowledge of Socionics endows you with "human interaction competence?"

    How cute.
    "How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

    I think Bobby Flay could be an ESxp, most likely ESFp.

    I have to own up to watching most food channels ...there is something wholesome and comforting about them for me. Cooking is also one of the areas where I expiriment when I have the time and sometimes I get new ideas from food channels. I like Nigella Lawson...she manages to make cooking look seductive or something.

    I think Rachel Ray is ESFj. She seems to me to have a lot of Fe, and I think she values Ne because she'll say something like, "If you don't have X on hand, use Y, or even Z or whatever". ISTjs would say, "Make sure you use this particular ingredient, and make sure you get it packaged this way, and then clean it this way, and cut it this way. Do it just that way because doing things properly leads to a good finished dish." Or something.

    I have to admit I've only seen her show a few times though. My mom watches it.

    I think ESFj is a close second.

    Nigella Lawson seems more ESFj than ENFj to me.

    same here. i discussed her type with another forum member who thinks she is actually a logical type (what, ESTj?) i get a stronger vibe than anything, as well. it seems like she is rather blatantly interested in a healthy lifestyle.

    The only person i can't tolerate is giada del..however you spell it. It gets old hearing her describe the food into such detail. Just cook the damn stuff already! Not a big fan of Emeril either really.
    I hate hearing her pronounce spaghetti like "spee-GEE-tee!" in that high-pitched voice.

    That's how I would approach cooking. I stick with a recipe and take steps that work and if I realize I don't have what I needed on hand I'm like "FUCK!" I highly doubt Rachel Ray is ISTj, just no.

    Reviving this thread...

    For a lot of people the food network is actually not a waste of time. For an Se creative like me it provides inspiration and the visuals are stimulating. The competitions that get taped and packaged like a show (baking challenges, etc) are largely crap. Iron Chef and Chopped have had their fun moments. I especially enjoy watching Bobby Flay destroy his competition on Beat Bobby Flay. That said I haven’t watched the network in two years; burned out maybe.

    Typings
    ======
    Bobby Flay - ESFp D(?)
    Giada D L - ISFj N or ESFj... I kind of think a weird ISFj / enneagram 2w3?
    Mario Batali - ESFp possible but not sure - his kitchen behind the scenes hedonism is legendary
    Rachel Ray - ESTp
    Emeril Lagasse - ESFj
    Alton Brown - INFj with really developed Ti role, or possibly Alpha NT (though I’d be surprised)
    Guy Fieri - Beta or else that’s just his persona??
    Ina Garten - ISTp
    Anne Burrell - ISTj
    I’m leaving out people I’m not that familiar with.


    Thoughts??
