I like writing about seasoned types – those that’s lived life and have settled into their personalities. Morgan Freeman is one of them.
I’m a big fan. Movies like “Glory”, and “Shawshank Redemption” wouldn’t be memorable classics if it weren’t for Morgan Freeman. And those voice overs – Morgan Freeman is also well known
for his voice and tone delivery. It makes you just want to stop what you’re doing and listen in – at times, you aren’t so drawn in by the content as you are just listening to Morgan Freeman’s soothing calm reassuring voice. It isn’t too strong but strong enough – I think this is what Hollywood saw. Alright enough with the intro, let’s talk about what the sources say about Freeman’s personality type. Yeah, that was a little abrupt but I’m a little excited to dig in.
I’m a big fan of Tom Cruise and if you’re an 80’s kid it’s likely you are too. But it’s also likely you’re take on Tom has shifted since the days of “Top Gun”, “Risky Business”, “The Outsiders” and “A Few Good Men”. Most people nowadays remember Tom the scientologist – his interviews on Oprah and a few others got many thinking where the old Tom has gone. Yet we still appreciate movies like “Mission Impossible”, “War of the Worlds”, “Oblivion”, and “The Last Samurai”. I’m not ashamed to admit – I actually really liked “Far and Away”. As we shall see though, Tom’s personality timeline provides hints, Tom the scientologist actually makes it easier to get to know Tom.
Jordan B. Peterson, get ready for a read – where do I begin. I guess it would be easier to start by giving you a basic overview because Mr. Peterson is a loaded intellectual of our time – being an intellectual myself, I can quickly go down that rabbit hole. Alright so Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist and professor at Toronto – Peterson came into the scene after the controversy surrounding free speech under Bill C-16. Long story short, Canadian legislature required individuals by law to use preferred gender pronouns (“zee”, “zher”, or basically whatever) – failure to do so would place this individual under prosecution of a hate crime. Just search Jordan B. Peterson on Youtube, grab some pizza and prepare to be intellectually immersed – it’s quite orgasmic. Peterson basically dismantles the entire legislative panel single handedly, all in the name of the first amendment – yeah, freedom of speech.
Loaded intellectual, I know that sounded superfluous – as if being intellectual wasn’t enough. We’ve seen intellectuals scattered about the channels of youtube – but when was the last time you watched an intellectual throw down in the fashion and scale Peterson has. Mind you this all started at a University. I’ve seen some videos criticizing Peterson of being a Marxist himself, untrue. I would agree with Einstein (an INTP) – “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
Jason Bateman, I really like this guy – dude has talent. I wasn’t even aware he was in a lot of shows I really liked back in the 80s like “Silver Spoons”, “Little House on the Prairie”, “The Hogan Family” then fast forward to “Juno”, “Arrested Development” and “Ozark”.
I’ve seen sources say Jason is “ENTP” or an “INTJ” and I disagree. I could not find one source that concluded what I think he is and I was a little surprised. I don’t see “ENTP”, however I do see a case for “INTJ”, but I don’t see “Introverted Intuition” being Jason’s dominant function – you can see it his interviews and his acting.
Well first of all – sorry Joe Rogan this was the only photo I could pull due to copywright’s and all and I didn’t just want to snag a photo off your instagram.
So this post is an update actually, I learned over time that Joe is an ESTP and NOT an ENTP. Yeah I know, rookie mistake. Joe neutralizes conversations with his guests using dominant Se, Extraverted Sensing – taking turns and reacting to guest cues. This fuels what he’s aspires to do which is Ni, Introverted Intuition, a deep understanding on the subject. We’ve seen it come out many times during his podcast.
Denzel Washington, I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like Denzel. From the days of “Glory”, “Ricochet” and “Crimson Tide” to “The book of Eli” and “Equalizer” – Denzel has displayed a 360 view of what an ENFJ is like, but in Denzel’s body. Now I’ve heard sources say ENTJ, ENTP, INFJ, with ISTJ being the most popular vote. Really? No. Denzel does not have Fi / Ne, he has Fe / Ni. Nuff said.
ENFJ’s are versatile and sometimes I feel like an ENFJ’s is good amount of other personality types smashed into one. I just don’t see ENTJ and ENTP in Denzel, and definitely not INFJ.
Extraverted feeling is Denzel’s dominant function and many people take the feeling part in the wrong way. Extraverted feeling is what give Denzel the ability to make decisions based on the external world. This is why a lot of ENFJ’s do so well with connecting with people – it gives them the advantage on almost playing field – communication being an essential element in our society.
Ryan Reynolds is an easy one to type although some sources give ESTP as being a possibility, I think he’s an ENTP. These two types are a bit like INFP and INTP (and many others), two types that are so close it’s hard to tell which is what. It really boils down to a lot of factors and if you’re a linguist typing might actually be something you might want to get into. There’s a lot of reading to do.
Ryan is a likeable dude – similar to Robert Downey Jr (both ENTP’s). ENTP’s are a tough one to dislike, the kind of trouble or mischief they get into or create is a bit different than that of an ESTP. ENTP’s are comical, funny, quick witted intellectuals – the mad scientist type so don’t let Ryan’s dashing good looks fool you.
Shia LaBeouf’s career and public persona embody the adventurous, creative spirit of the ENFP personality type. Known as “The Campaigner,” ENFPs are driven by boundless curiosity, emotional depth, and an eagerness to explore unconventional paths. They thrive in environments where they can experiment, push boundaries, and connect meaningfully with others.
From his early days as a Disney Channel star to bold indie films and performance art projects, LaBeouf has consistently displayed the hallmark ENFP mix of spontaneity, originality, and emotional authenticity.
Demi Moore’s life and career reflect the resourcefulness, independence, and adaptability that define the ISTP personality type. ISTPs, often called “The Virtuosos,” are known for their self-reliance, comfort with risk, and ability to immerse themselves fully in hands-on challenges.
From a young age, Moore forged her own path, leaving school early to pursue modeling and acting—an unconventional decision that required courage and quick problem-solving. Her career choices often pushed boundaries, from breaking box office records with Ghost to tackling physically and emotionally demanding roles in A Few Good Men and G.I. Jane. She has shown an ISTP-like fearlessness in navigating Hollywood’s highs and lows, taking calculated risks while staying true to her own instincts.
Moore’s off-screen ventures—such as producing, investing, and advocating for social causes—demonstrate the ISTP’s practical intelligence and versatility. She consistently moves between creative and strategic roles with ease, embodying the ISTP ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments.
How ISTP Traits Shone Through in Her Roles and Public Life
Demi Moore’s acting style and public persona reveal the signature ISTP blend of physical presence, authenticity, and understated emotional depth.
In G.I. Jane, her transformation into a Navy SEAL candidate wasn’t just a performance—it was an act of full immersion. Moore trained rigorously, shaved her head on-screen, and delivered a performance rooted in grit and precision, capturing the ISTP’s action-oriented mindset.
In Ghost, she grounded a supernatural romance with a performance that balanced vulnerability with emotional restraint, showing how ISTPs can convey feeling without overstatement.
Publicly, Moore has often favored a private, direct approach over Hollywood showmanship. Her interviews tend to be candid and unembellished, reflecting the ISTP’s preference for honesty and efficiency over unnecessary performance.
Famous Quotes from Demi Moore That Reflect ISTP Traits
“People over-intellectualize and over-analyze, instead of just letting things be. Life isn’t always easy, but it’s simple.” This statement reflects the ISTP’s preference for straightforward thinking and practical problem-solving.
“We have to continue to be willing to take risks so that we don’t get too safe.” An expression of the ISTP’s comfort with uncertainty and eagerness for new challenges.
“To reach out for help [is] a weakness.” A candid, if controversial, reflection of the ISTP’s self-reliant and independent mindset.
Patrick Swayze was more than just a Hollywood heartthrob — he embodied the passion, charisma, and drive that define the ENFJ personality type. Known as “The Protagonist” in the MBTI framework, ENFJs combine empathy and leadership in a way that inspires everyone around them. Swayze’s life and career were a masterclass in how natural charm and deep emotional intelligence can captivate audiences and connect with people on and off the screen.
ENFJs are powered by Extraverted Feeling (Fe) as their dominant cognitive function, which thrives on connection, harmony, and understanding others’ needs. Swayze’s performances, whether as the mysterious Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing or the determined Sam Wheat in Ghost, always radiated an emotional sincerity that made his characters unforgettable.
His auxiliary function, Introverted Intuition (Ni), gave him the ability to see the bigger picture in both his work and life. Swayze wasn’t just a performer—he was a storyteller, using his roles to communicate hope, resilience, and human connection.
