Here's a photo of the cold, robotic Hillary Clinton who doesn't care about ordinary people. https://t.co/3Za8qO7fGk pic.twitter.com/K2S8XMsSHG

Elisi always thought she was an introvert for unfathomable Ni reasons. In my head she was an ENTJ, and then an ESTJ, figuring she had too much 'just do it!' drive to be an introvert. And then one day I compared her to Martha Stewart (copied and pasted from an email):

I was re-thinking my typing of Clinton the other day, btw, by comparing her to Martha Stewart. I think Clinton is an ISTJ after all. Martha, who is definitely an ESTJ, for all her icy, perfect, corporate queen of dominance thing, she knows how to work with Ne (did you hear that she and Snoop Dog are going to have a cooking show together? The Atlantic had to write an article about why she's awesome. Also, if you're ever having a bad day, search for Martha Stewart and Conan O'Brien. Actually, no, the world is a scary place right now, just watch this immediately. Trust.) But you never really see Martha Stewart touch anything Fi-related.

Clinton, conversely, had always been reserved, but has really been able to turn on the Fi-appeals this election cycle. She's got that classic, awkward, inferior-Ne reaction to whimsey, though. And, like many an ISJ, she makes a great subject of a Ne joke--you know that all the best memes around her were created by other people, and that she's kind of the bemused onlooker. So, yeah, ISTJ.

The upshot of all of this, of course, is that the Clinton campaign should hire Martha Stewart as a personal image consultant for Hillary.

Beat me to it. But I added my own take further up, as I spent all morning turning it over in my head. :)

Counterpoint: her fuck-clump of a husband is an ESFP and I'm pretty sure the only thing that can keep those on a leash are ENTJs.

[elisi]

I would contend with the idea that she managed to keep him on a leash...

I generally see Bill typed as an ENFP. I hadn't thought about it deeply, but how do you figure S?

ETA: forgot to lol @ 'fuck-clump.'

- Extremely punchable face
- Overall slippery car salesman vibe
- Third Way politics is basically what happens when you give a soppy liberal a conservative S-ish work ethic
- They based Peter Florrick on him for a reason

Does he have a thing for hats?

Oh. My. God. *dies of awkward*

I'd say that's pretty much QED, though.

[elisi]

I watched it, and thought of you & this discussion...

But she's game, bless her. She really tries.

I know I've said this before, but my mother, poor thing, was so out-gunned surrounded with three INTPs and an ESTP. When she's tired you can tell sometimes she gets fed up with it, but mostly she gets kind of carried along, laughing and shaking her head.

The ESJs you can catch flat-footed or in a bad mood sometimes, but generally they'll fire back.

[elisi]

See, it's a funny thing, because me and my father were always playing off each other - and my poor mother (the ISFJ) would be utterly lost.

Like - that whole quip about being constructed in Palo Alto (I think?) and riffing off of that in the pod cast some months back? Totally on the ball. This? /o\

Humour is a strange thing.

[elisi]

Although, this seems to be the general take-away? Which makes me happy, but damn. Like... *waves hands*
