I agree with the consensus. Also, I would like to say I quite enjoy "Cheaper By The Dozen" unapologetically, so take that, Universe. I told you. Anyway, I should offer my explanation for why I type Tom Baker an ESFJ. Okay, I get the message, Universe, and I will do just that as if I am your cheap. . . Well, we won't go there. Tom : "Hey, guys. Remember Shake? We played college ball together." Nigel Baker : "Yeah, the hot dog." [Tom gives him a look] Nigel Baker : "Mom said it first." Shake : "We're having adult time here, boys." Kyle Baker : "No idea what that means." Tom : "Well, it's this crazy thing where grown-ups actually get to have a conversation without being interrupted by kids." This dialogue examples Tom's inferior subjective optics/symbols/vantage (Ti). ✅ Notice he distinguishes time to posit "adult time" and then responds as if that needs precise explanation, when it's a very simple deduction that any idiot could make. Tina Shenk : "Is Jake your only child?" Kate : "Oh no. We have 12." Tom : "I couldn't keep her off of me." This dialogue examples Tom's dominant objective metrics/values/limitation (Fe). ✅ Notice his appeasing manner all throughout the film(s). ✅ Notice he must turn the awkward moment into a joke with "I couldn't keep her off of me" in the hopes of keeping the reaction to the chandelier accident civil. Tom : [phoning a "nanny" service] "Hello my name is Tom Baker and I am interested in hiring a domestic helper." [responding to question on phone] Tom : "I have twelve kids." [person on phone says something] Tom : "Actually I am serious." Tom : [next call] "Just twelve" Tom : [next call] "There's only two, oh plus ten." Tom : [next call] "How many kids? Well, uh, when you get here we can just count 'em up." Tom : [next call] "Well, there's twelve. But one doesn't live with me and one you never see cause he's so mad." Tom : [next call] "Uh, a dozen." Tom : [next call] "Just, just twelve." Tom : [last call] "Hello, I'll just hang up by myself." This one-sided dialogue examples Tom's dominant objective metrics/values/limitation (Fe) as well as his tertiary objective knowledge/expectancy (Ne). ✅ Notice he's quick with the quippy responses, i.e. he's verbally fluid. Verbal fluidity is an indicator of the Ne-Si axis. ✅ Notice also how much he's trying to make his situation seem appealing for the benefit of who he's talking to. That's Fe. Tom Baker is most probable an ESFJ.
