Robert Downey Jr.

Inventor rational? He plays the role so well in both A Scanner Darkly and Ironman.

[tr1stans]

promoter or performer...

come on, does anything about robert downey jr indicate "rational"?!?

[ENFP123]

Probably promoter

By and large, I don't try to type actors, because they and their roles are often not the same, and because many of them do seem to be SPs of some sort. Though I do sometimes wonder if Meryl Streep isn't an NT.

What about John Stewart? NT? Maybe Field Marshall?

Alice Cooper is an interesting personality as well...

No way is jon stewart a rational... wait, the daily show host?

Yeah, that guy... He also played in "Big Daddy" as the kid's real father...

Remember Robert Downey Jr in "Weird Science"? He has come a long way! I laughed my ass off watching him in that new movie "Tropic Thunder".: "I'm the dude playin' the dude disguised as anotha' dude." I catch myself saying this all the time lately...

Alice Cooper is an avid golfer who has some really interesting ideas about EVERYTHING. His persona was grafted from his observation of Jimi and Janis... He also talks about how showing up on time is a must. From reading a little about him I'm thinking NT. The on time thing is a J trait, but may have been learned through his T observations...? Or he could be a WTF for all I know... Interesting dude to say the least!

Another one is Clint Eastwood: I'm thinking Supervisor-Guardian with him...?

I think Clint Eastwood is clearly an 'I' artisan, probably a crafter.

[SunPath]

I'm enjoying reading this progression of your thoughts. Guessing types is always fun.

I'm not sure about the others, but Clint Eastwood's type has been guessed at by Professor Keirsey, and he reveals his type in the Artisan book in Brains and Careers, on page 347. He is an accommodative Composer Artisan, a Tactical Responder (TR).

My father and I don't disagree much but in the case of Clint Eastwood, I have read a biography and his ex-wife's biography, and concluded that he is a Crafter Artisan (Tactical Contender). The question is does he have that hard edge that he exhibits as an actor. I say he does, he also uses a coterie of actors for his films, and the Crafters seem to have that "buddy" system most for film production.
