Jackie Chan Personality Type – ESFP

ESFP

The legendary Jackie Chan is a personality we won’t get ever again. Which is why I want to delve in deeper into Jackie’s cognitive functions.

After several months of deliberation and recalling some of my favorite Jackie Chan Kung Fu fighting flicks, interviews and much of his resume, I have concluded Jackie to be the ESFP personality type.

Robert De Niro Personality Type – ISTJ

ISTJ

I often associate Robert De Niro with “Taxi Driver“, “A Bronx Tale and “The Score” just some of my favorite De Niro movies. All movie classics which have aged well spanning several decades, with prolific roles in a wide range of films that showcase his versatility as an actor.

Aside from these involvements, De Niro is up there with the likes of Al Pacino and Marlon Brando which over the years has maintained close friendships with.

Harrison Ford Personality Type – ISTP

ISTP

Harrison Ford can be quickly mistaken as the the ISTJ as with my original assessment, but as you sift through his resume you will find that Ford’s abilities is that of ISTP (Se) qualities rather than (Si).

Because of Se sits as the parent function for the ISTP, this is what we mostly see – the fluid ability to adapt to different roles and be remembered for such a performance. Some examples include Hans Solo in Star Wars and Indian Jones. Air Force One and The Fugitive are some of my other favorite classics.

Kevin Costner Personality Type – ISFP

ISFP

Kevin Costner isn’t an easy personality type to nail down, this curiosity made me want to dig into Kevin’s function stack. I reflected on his acting career and movies made – for me it was “Dances with Wolves”, “Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves” and “WaterWorld” to name a few. Oh yeah of course there’s “Body Guard” with Whitney Houston. Come to think of it there isn’t a Kevin Costner movie I didn’t like.

Jason Bateman Personality Type – ESTJ

ESTJ

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.
