: : That singer called maddonna. A 3w4, 7w8, 8w7???
: : The case made below and the case made by Dunniho point to a 7-8 combo.
: : I think her outburts are unlike the calculated pragmatism of a 3.
: : She is a classic sensationalist. An optimist. Remembering that movie
: : she made...playing all the time...seems like 7.
: Curious, I've seen 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 8s, and 9s who act like this, too.
: How many is that...?
: You must link the behavior to a motivation somehow. What are her behaviors as such telling you about her motivations? And what qualities - either subtle, explicit, or even explained by her - lead you to link the behavior to *that* particular motivation?
: For example: Mr. Habes gives threatening legal notices to cops when they pull him over, for 8-ish purposes. He fears being violated, and reacts to that base fear.
: Or: Mr. Dunahue gives threatening legal notices to cops when they pull him over, for 7-ish purposes. He does it to kill boredom and thrill himself by eliciting outrageous reactions, and spicing up situations.
: Or: Mrs. Relish gives threatening legal notices to cops when they pull her over, for 2-ish purposes. She's a self-preservation Two ("me first"), who entertains latent, and perhaps unconscious, beliefs that she's above society and the law... because, hell, she does so much for it.
: Or: Mrs. Habes sings and dances on stage for 9-ish purposes. She enjoys the lulling flow of the experience, and the oneness she feels with her audience.
: Or: Mr. McCorvin plays with his companions in a childish manner, for 5-ish purposes. He enjoys collecting data and constructing hypotheses about people's reactions to offbeat behavior.
: And so on...
: : When antionio banderas 'rejected' her she displayed a childish judgementality pointing to 7-1.
: Or 2-4, the "security" path... or 9-6, the "stress" path... or 8-2... and so on.
: The above applies here, too, of course.
: : I think 7w8 ESTP. ENTP is not correct. ENTP's are rational inventors.
: : They are not at home dancing and singing on a stage.
: What about David Bowie? Read his interviews and tell me one can't make the argument that he's an NT. Then, tell me he doesn't sing and dance on stage.
