Sociopathy?

I remember someone in the show making a comment that Tony, throughout the series, doesn't actually feel remorse for his horrible actions (only getting upset at how the consequences affect him), cannot truly change, at least not through therapy, and that all Dr. Melfi is really teaching him is how to be a more effective sociopath who can mimic the feelings of guilt and remorse to better con others and make his mob-boss life easier rather than making him a better person. Psychologically speaking, due to their charm and excitement-seeking, low empathy, low impulse control, violence, and volatility, sociopaths are often - High Extraversion, High Neuroticism, Low Conscientiousness, Low Agreeableness, and Low Openness - I'd also type Tony by this exact profile.

Also, new font formats test.

The show gives her more leeway, but you still see the pathological envy her book counterpart is infamous for. Her character's core is lashing out at the world for the favours she believes she was denied due to the things she inherently lacks but desires, such as high intellect, respect or, more blatantly, the very fact that she was not born a man. Anyone who hasn't read her POV chapters in the book, do so immediately, they are a treat. What makes her a good villain is how much she wishes she was able to get away with wielding the abusive masculine power of the men in her life (Tywin, Jaime, Robert), diminishing them, then shamelessly committing cruel acts to get constant tastes of what it's like to be them.

IN(F) contingency generator with both the brains and social empathy to come up with a plan that effectively solves the problem whilst still maintaining minimal casualites and personal fallout.

If only he had Erwin's ET willingness to act. Could have reigned Eren in way earlier.

Interesting how common the SP9 outlaw-for-hire archetype is. Him, Spike Spiegel, Mike Ehrmantraut. All from vastly different time periods and settings, but with the same gruff, nonchalant "I'm just doing what I think I'm supposed to do" attitude to killing. Simple yet tormented souls.

Added him months ago to my Conservation Four list. His pathos of killing the man who broke the bond/fidelity between him and his wife is both Heart-Triad and Envy-esque in general. His arc of atoning for this by putting all of his effort into protecting those around him, especially Clementine, is where the SP4 tenacity and forbearance come in.

Watched a random video made by this YouTuer called The Jolly Heretic this morning about relatively new DNA analyses they were able to conduct from the confirmed blood of Hitler found on a sofa around where he killed himself. They found that he carried alleles relating to schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder - He was higher than 99% of the population of similar races to him in alleles associated with these traits. Makes an even easier more definitive case for quite a high neuroticism score and thus SLOEI over SCOEI, when combined with what we already know of his life, of course.

Hedonistic, quippy, luxurious intellectual whose chief concern is protecting himself and others. Rare heroic SP7. Or as he himself would say "Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

I know he's officially typed as SP9 but I can never bring myself to seeing him as one. Read detailed accounts of his life both in social and military sense. He was far too bellicose and war-mongering to be E9 > E8.

As much as people hate admitting it (naturally considering what he did), this guy is just as much of an SO2 archetype as Napoleon and Caesar. In general, he was a narcissist who genuinely believed himself to be possessed with the spirit that would save his people above all. Then you have his theatrical oratory skills. Then you even have the specifics of his life such as his attitude to art and relationship with his mother and father. I never understood the SX4/E6 arguments with all that in mind.

Was discussing with a friend the other day whether he might be SO6 or SP1. I'm leaning closer to the former, but either way, very strong Si + Te usage. The embodiment of subordinate duty and loyal pragmatism, in the mafia sphere at least.

I saw an interesting video by this guy who used facial analyses to estimate a person's personality and apparently he has a Phlegmatic-Melancholic face shape.

I'm not so sure, though. From the little I know of him and his policy I can at least see Choleric-Phlegmatic, he comes across as both authoritative and calm, methodical yet simple and straightforward in expression.

His desire for and success in establishing greatness and building a grand reputation that preceeds him, combined with how obsessed he was with managing his image makes you understand why people consider SO3 for him as an alternative to SO2.

But he's far too comfortable professing love and taking reckless action for SO3. SO2 was always the one.

Also, I'm quite fond of this commenting separated by the systems feature.

EF is locked in for him in my book. Grandiose and emotional yet structured man of the people. Not sure between Se, Si, Ne, and Ni for his secondary function, though. His unique insight and genius could lend to him favouring intuition, but his martial prowess and natural instinct in terms of applying physical tactics could also suggest he favours sensation.

Edit: Using the evidence-linking feature for the first time since I'm using desktop rather than mobile like I usually use to test the app. Good stuff.

ES (Fi) for him specifically. Both speak for themselves. Extraverted Sensing apparent in his passion expression of energy and natural talent for aggression, combining with his Fi to create an unshakeable will when it comes to his pro-freedom, anti-Titan values.
