Joey Potter is (yes - yes - yes - climax) an ISFP. Consensus got it right. Congratulations. Ooh you're making me live now. Ooh you're my best friend. You're the best friend that I've ever had. I've been with you such a long time. Can you talk to me? Ah, forget it. Tried it one too many times to know these things fail to work in my hands. Why did I grab my ears and place them in my hands? What's going on? Ever the optimist (even though I lack ears now) I will give an explanation. I see a little silhouetto of a man. That's not my explanation. Why is Joey Potter an ISFP? This is how my explanation begins. Joey : "Dawson, I'm the girl guys are friends with, not the girl guys date." Sounds like me. If she had what I'm packing. Also, this is a clear Ni statement, if ever there was one. Joey is speaking from subjective knowledge/expectancy (Ni), i.e. she communicates the truth is experience as subjected and expected from that subjection. Joey : "Dawson, I'm sorry I don't have the same dreams I had when I was 15 years old, and I'm sorry that I moved on faster than you did, but you know what? Maybe not everything that happens to you is my fault! And maybe just because I want more from my life than..." Dawson : "More than what? More than us? You don't know, do you? You've never known. The entire time I've known you, all you've wanted to do is escape. From me, from Capeside. I mean, you say that I'm the dreamer. I'm the one who doesn't wanna live in the real world. Well, I'm doing it, Joey. Right now. I'm living in the real world. It's you who wants the fantasy" This dialogue examples Dawson (an INFP) commenting on Joey "the entire time I've known you, all you've wanted to do is escape." Dawson sees Joey this way because Joey is constantly escaping toward her own subjective interpretation of events (Ni) and leaving Dawson confused. Jen : "What about you, Joe? Are you a virgin?" Joey : "You kidding? Years ago. Trucker named Bubba." This dialogue examples Joey's objective opportunism (Se). She processes information at the point of contention, not in the stream of discontention (i.e. distance of contention). Throughout the series Joey is shown to say fast what comes to her mind, even if the words are against the occasion, and she is shown to do things on a whim, commit to situations she's unprepared for, go sailing on the spur of the moment with Pacey. Joey coexists with objective opportunism (Se). It's her auxiliary function. Mr. Kasden : [reading from a book] "Near the end of March, 1845, I borrowed an axe and went down to the woods by Walden pond. Nearest to where I..." Mr. Kasden : "What's the most important word in that sentence?" Joey : "Woods?" Mr. Kasden : "Borrowed. The important thing to remember about The Transcendentalists, is that while self-reliance is a most admirable trait, Thoreau wasn't really all that alone out there by Waldon pond. He had neighbour's, friends, people he could rely on. We should all be so lucky." This dialogue examples Joey's polr objective knowledge/expectancy (Ne). She answers with "woods." She's often caught unawares of the objective connotations of language. She doesn't realize a "most important" might just mean something general, because her ideation is particular (Ni) to herself. Joey : "Things change, Dawson, people change." Joey Potter is an ISFP.
