What MBTI Type is Michael Jordan? 16 Personalities | (Personality Expert Reacts) 

That was super duper well deduced. The Sherlock Holmes of the MBTI world. You're awesome Nathan.

0:16 Man I wish you made your own MBTI test that Actually asks/tests our cognitive functions

The lack of good Se is the reason why I knew I wasn’t an ISTP but an INTP. I don’t think I’ve ever had a being fully engaged and clear eyed in the present. If I had to do a momentary something out of necessary or emergency it’s almost always dream like as if my mind and body were on different planets.

"wearing sunglasses in a situation that may be described as ... inside..." bahaaa😂😂 maybe he just left the poker table lol excellent stuff btw. I like these... its an intetesting bit of keyhole entertainment- watching you watch others whilst smirking and having tea🍵

i think eminem would be a good choice for the next one i ve seen a lot of people debating over the fact that he is either an istp or isfp

As an ISTP, I will now ask ppl to address me as “Jordan”

I worked with Michael Jordan for a week on a film shoot back in the 1980s and HE WAS A SWEETHEART! Quiet, thoughtful, he read a book between set changes. Don't know what MBTi type he is, but he is defintiely an Enneagram Three. I didn't know much about basketball at the time and so wasn't overly impressed with his being on the Bulls, but when he told me about winning a gold medal in the Olympics, THAT impressed me. The next day he brought the gold medal in to show me--and let me wear it for the rest of the day! :-) That's my experience of Michael Jordan. I am an INFJ and I felt very comfortable with him, very much at ease with him. We discussed the book he was reading, and ideas, "met" at an intellectual as well as feeling level. Like I said, I found him to be thoughtful, sweet, and also very intelligent and possessing a beautiful *humility*. I wouldn't doubt that he was an "N", actually, and even an "NF" of some sort. That was my personal experience of Michael Jordan. If he pushed his teammates, it was because he wanted them to push themselves to be their best. A mentor. Oh, and yes! I was a very cute young woman in my twenties and he was the consummate gentleman throughout our interactions. (Drats! ;-) But no, really, he was lovely. I remember that day, and him, very fondly.

Always appreciate some istp content, it's lacking on RU-vid but hey, the other sensors have it even worse in that regard

Here comes the: "And I took that personally." memes.

American NBA fan and ESTP here... as always, you are 100% correct! Michael Jordan is the poster boy ISTP athlete. Many of the greatest NBA legends of all time were ISTP's too. Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, Russell Westbrook, Jerry West, John Stockton... all of these savages are famous for having the stereotypical ISTP assassin mentality and tunnel vision. ISFP atheltes (Kevin Durant, Tim Duncan) although just as competitive and capable, aren't as cruel to their teammates, and they're usually more stoic and humble(most of the time). ESFJ/ESFP athletes (Magic Johnson, Lebron James, Dennis Rodman) typically communicate well and are much more diplomatic and willing to compromise with their teammates. ISTP's athletes, cocky as they are, can back up their lack of tact because they're so damn tenacious. They just get in the zone and will their way to victory by dominating and outworking the competition. Sure they can be real jerks, but ISTP athletes are without question, they greatest one on one athletes.

Damn ... you can actually smile !

A lot of debate around Harry Styles, can you try him?

I thoroughly enjoyed this typing, Thank you Nathan

Make this a series!

Funnily, I knew the result would be ISTP when you mentioned the glasses. Talk about stereotypes... But everything you said after that made perfect sense, and reinforced my hunch. So, good analysis and interesting content. 👍🏼

No one: I wonder if Nathan will smile evilly while typing this person. Everyone: wow. Nathan smiles evilly while he types people.

I like how you approach typing people - very wholistic without getting overly caught up with particulars/outcomes of behavior and instead looking at the reasoning behind it and general patterns. I’d be curious to hear your analysis of Lily Tomlin. 🙂

👌

Please make this a series! The analysis is fascinating.

Please do more personality analysis videos! I really enjoyed this one... I thought that Michael was an ESTP, but your analysis had me convinced he was an istp 😅

That was SSSSOOOOOOOO interesting. Please do more. I dont care who you do. I will love it.

Please do this for Jordan Peterson 🙌

Michael Jordan was the only player I completely related to as a child, even now. He shares many characters of ENTJs, and it really shaped my personality. When you said "a pathological need to win", I thought NT definitely. But I had missed out on Se.

1:54 he is shade-y.

Nathan...are you sure you're not an INXJ? Because this is basically my internal dialogue 24/7. Also- I love the slightly amused, evil smile...which again- not INXJ???

Thank you for introducing me to Eric Wen! I just watched his video on Selena Gomez and really enjoyed it (:

The imbalance topic is really great, and I’d love to see it utilized more in future videos! Or even a video that gives a quick look at each type’s potential imbalances.

I would have happily listened to you typing Michael Jordan for an hour. Maybe Michael Jackson next?

I would love to see you do a Kobe Bryant version for a compare/contrast. It would be interesting to see if/when any major contrasts take place (vs. MJ).

U should do it take on wether Elon is an INTJ or an INTP

After the first clip I am going to guess he is a ISTP. I know nothing about him, so this could be horribly wrong. Epic, I got it correct! I enjoy this type of video.

Please do more of this typing seriess ❤️❤️

Nathan baddie ❤️❤️❤️💕✨✨✨✨ love your eyebrows ❤️❤️❤️

As an INFJ, it'd be really interesting to have you type a celebrity as INFJ because we always have that social chameleon shell,.. or just don't have enough numerical presence 🤔

Bruh I swear I thought this was about Jordan Peterson. It is amazing how our brain does these shortcuts to what is more familiar to us :) I think Peterson is probably INTP though I don't know for sure, would be a cool topic for a video Nathan. -INFP

This one has been a long time coming.. great choice. Thanks!

I would love to see Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.

Oh u should do piers Morgan that would be funny

Would like you to possibly look into fictional characters, as I think they're very interesting. Batman, for instance. Great video btw.

What an astute observation of his personality, very nice. Precise as usual and it’s great to see you smile ☺️

Very well explained! A compelling argument. Thank you Nathan!

Deathnote characters would be very interesting.

Too good...waiting for more reaction videos

You should attempt to type Arnold Schwarzenegger or anybody who could possibly be an ENTJ or INTJ, to me they're one of the most interesting types

Definitely have a go at Christopher Lee. I think that'll be a fun one.

His comments about the outcome of "if I did have a gambling addiction..." were almost all focused on very Se concerns, too.

This is an amazing video. Please do more of these :)

This was awesome, great work, Nathan! His low Fe is so comical. I love it. Shows that all humans have flaws, even the most accomplished.

I would suggest that for a future video, you try to type Neil Degrasse Tyson. Additionally, I believe that there's something wrong with the rule verification on the Love Who discord server, in which the reaction system breaks after a certain number of verifications.

It’s both entertaining and insightful! I know her personality type is quite obvious but can you please type Aubrey Hepburn? She’s iconic and very interesting! And maybe next, please type yourself 😅

Please do this for Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp and/or Keanu Reeves.🙏 or Jordan Peterson (if you know of him).

This was very enjoyable! 👏👏👏 I've been wondering for a while what type is Luke Steele & Nick Littlemore from Empire of the Sun band. They give the best interviews and collab so well together. I'm obsessed lol 😍

Me between 5:18 and 5:30 : Just say it, you already know it, I already know it... ISTP. ISTP in any kind of team is pretty much perfectly described in the video. "I came to win, and not for fucking around." Me to my team in CS:GO circa 2013, and ever since 😂😂

That was a great video, you have such vision! BTW, I know that not everything must relate to a person's type, but could an interest in gambling also be an indication of Se (risking, seeking thrills)?

Nathan... have you ever addressed your type fully yet? I know there was debate at some point, and easily may have it if it’s been addressed.

Yeeeessss this is a great video idea do more !!!!!

I am curious to know the type of serial classic killers like Michael Myers

6:14 You are absolutely wrong. Phil Jackson said that everything is a competition with him. Golf, business, non-sporting interests included. Compare that to the late Kobe Bryant (who Phil also coached): He's comparatively very laid back outside of basketball, but still very studious and interested in many fields, especially languages.

I vote for Janis Joplin or Bill Skarsgård.

You could do some of people the people causing havoc and creating media storms at the moment. I'm sure it's all a well planned distraction but I think that about everything.

Great breakdown !

Would you rather try and type people you’ve never heard of before so you don’t have any pre-conceived notions or is it easier to know about the person beforehand?

What problems do ESTPs typically encounter? 12:18

I love this video. Can't wait to see more like it!

Do Bobby Fischer next!

@Nathan I got a deep dive for you. Do one one Caligula, Nero, Socrates, Spartacus, Crassus and Hannibal. I know it is a lot but, you can do it!

I loved this!! Could you please type Mariah Carey? There would be loads of content you could use. I always found it interesting how very open and genuine she is, yet very guarded and always wanting to seem good or agreeable. There are so many facets, and I would just love to know your take. If you would... Thanks again.

Maybe type the DC or Marvel characters or the LOTR

more content like this please...

Im guessing you figured it out a long time ago could this be an elaborate scheme to teach us how to guess someone's type ? (ENTJ)

Can you do fictional characters too? Great vid :)

Excellent analysis

I think you are wrong with the order of things. This guy is extremely extroverted in comparison to all ISTP's I know. So I would go for ESTP. You just need to swap the Ti and Fe in your list, which is also consistent with your first observation: that he clearly thinks first before going into the feelings of things.

OPS types him as ESTP and I will for sure go with their take on this one

I would love to see a Marvel personally types

Hey Nathan, love your channel and your ability to understand multiple different types. A sport I've been watching lately is strongman, and there are a few people I've been kinda curious about. I would like to know if you would be interested in typing them. They are the following - Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Robert Oberst, Hafthor Bjornsson, Nick Best. Four of them are in the History Channel's "The Strongest Man in History". Here are my guesses: Brian Shaw - probably ISFJ or ESFJ Eddie Hall - INTJ or ENTJ. At the very least, he must for sure be an xNTx. Robert Oberst - ESFP Hafthor Bjornsson - INTP maybe? Nick Best - Idk but savior feeling for sure. Thank you Nathan for the wisdom you have blessed us with regarding MBTI.

Can you do INTPs and INFJs? Thanks 😊

Hey can you react to Eminem's personality 😂😅😂

What personality type are you nathan ???

This was great!!! Hopefully you do more of this videos. It would be cool if you typed pewdiepie.

Great video idea!

He is on the first, of many lives, as he has much to learn....the man....with the ball.

My suggestions: 1. Vladimir Putin 2. Jay-Z 3. Jordan Peterson 4. Kobe Bryant 5. Greta Thunberg

Can you do one for Nikki Lauda? I have been thinking either ISTP or INTJ??? I know it is easy to assume most sport people to be sensors, but I don't think it has to be true (I mean physical/sensory sports as well as the likes of e.g. chess)

This was a brilliant video, but as a longtime NBA fan with an ESTP daughter and an ISTP brother and father, I can emphatically tell you that Michael Jordan is an ESTP. If you want an ISTP in the NBA, it's Dirk Nowitzki. This is a case of overthinking it.

What year is that. At one point wearing sunglasses and not taking them off inside or out was the thing. Same as all the trends that come and go.

❤️Nathan

Do you have an xxx problem? No, I enjoy it... that pretty much sums up the ISTP mindset. All of my "bad" qualities are ones I enjoy and see no reason to change, haha.

In mbti: Ti + Se = Michael Jordan (ISTP) Se + Ti = LeBron James (ESTP) But, using the more accurate Socionics information metabolosm, both actually lead with sensation (Si/Se.) Why? Because Ti leading would place an annoying filter on Michael's moment to moment quick sensory intake reaction time. Instead Michael leads with Si to lock in on moment to moment player and ball movements and THEN makes Te/Ti decisions in tandem. So Michael Jordan's Socionic Type = SLI (SiTe) But since Isabella Myers thought all of what later became Artisans should have a P added to the end of their 4 letter descriptor what should have been ISTJ (or better yet SiTe) became "ISTP." Note: Si does not simply mean memory. It means intaking sensory information either from present surroundings or memory.

I sort of don't get it, if fe is his second function and ti is his third function , why does Jordon not give a damn about other people's emotions and put logic first ? And if he does that shouldn't ti be the second function and fe the third ? Pls could someone explain this to me? 😭😭😭

Snoop dog is also ISTP. I suspect ESTP is also a possibility for jordan.

Excellent video. (Maybe type Dave Mustaine?)

Nathan smiled yay!!

Great video! Maybe pewdiepie next time?

"I wacked him in the eye" hahah entj?!

Can you pleaaase type George Carlin?

You should be a law enforcement interrogator

Cool video. Please do one on Roger Federer, that will be a good challenge for you! :)

Please do one of these about Charles Barkley!

The moment you said he prioritized Ti very much over Fe (about 4 minutes) , I deduced ISTP. Ti over Fe and very much Se, none other than ISTP.
