Is Edward Norton INTP?

Economica · 09-21-2007, 02:43 PM

Or is he INTJ - or something else entirely?

Written interview
7 minute interview
2 minute interview

From the written one:

Quote:

A lot of people have been responding to Tyler as a sort of Nietzschean ubermensch in the sense that he's advocating liberation of the human individual through the rejection and destruction of the institutions and value systems that are enslaving us. Now, that's certainly correct. But the tension in the film comes from my character asking, What are the limitations of a nihilistic attitude? It can be enthralling, it can be seductive, it can feel liberating on certain levels. But at what point do the practical applications of it start to become exactly the things they're critiquing, and at what point do Tyler's initiatives start to dehumanize people just as much? I like that the film raises those questions, but then it dumps them in your lap and leaves you to sort it all out instead of supplying you an easy answer.

No dissenters?

Nope - he is an NF.

He is out to save the world.

I wouldn't mind saving the world myself. It seems like a worthwhile passtime.

Yeah, just far too much effort.

Ed Norton? Don't know, never gave it much thought.

I'm thinking INFP or INFJ. I know this goes against the typical "He's smart, therefore he MUST be an INTP".

What are you basing the F on? I don't see any signs of it in the clips I link to in the OP.

I do. But beyond just these interviews, he's always seemed to have a good grasp of emotions. Just because someone is logical doesn't mean they are a T.
