I love 1408. I love Secret Window, too. I'm telling you this, because ring the alarm expert has revealed himself, with a try-hard expression on his face. You can do it. You can type Mike Enslin. Just give it a try, Chester. The commune will accept you with open arms. Okay, I agree. I have to provide examples for my typing of Mike. Here we are in life. Mike Enslin : "Most hotels have switched to magnetics. An actual key. That's a nice touch, it's antiquey." Gerald Olin : "We have magnetic cards also, but electronics don't seem to work in 1408. Hope you don't have a pacemaker." Mike Enslin : [into his tape recorder] "General manager claims that the phantom in room interferes..." Gerald Olin : "I have *never* used the word "phantom."" Mike Enslin : "Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, spirit? Specter?" Gerald Olin : "No, you misunderstand. Whatever's in 1408 is nothing like that." This dialogue examples Mike's use of Objective Knowledge/Expectancy (Ne). ✅ Note how Mike's ideation is coming from external activity (Ne). In this scene, Olin (an ENTJ) is trying to ground Mike's thoughts in the subjective ideational factor (Ni) of staying in the room, but Mike is unresponsive to becoming subjective like this in his thought-process. This indicates he is leading with intuitive extraverted perception (Ne). ✅ Note the quickness of references in Mike's responses (e.g. "Us, spirit? Specter?") and his overall verbal fluidity and playfulness with language (e.g. "antiquey"). It's easy to identify Ne as Mike's dominant function. Gerald Olin : "You do drink don't you?" Mike Enslin : "Of course. I just said I was a writer." This exchange examples Mike's use of Subjective Optics/Vantage (Ti). ✅ Note how Mike responds to Olin connecting positional meaning via his subject active conclusion and not external object active conclusion. When he says "I just said I was a writer" as an allusion to writers drinking he is subjectively inferring logical relation between drinking and being a writer to produce that response. Book Store Cashier : "Where is the best place where I can see ghosts?" Mike Enslin : "Guaranteed? Haunted Mansion, Orlando." This exchange examples Mike's use of Objective Metrics/Values/Limitation (Fe). ✅ Note how throughout the film, until he gets in personal tense situations, Mike feels compelled to play "emotional softball," so to speak. In this scene in the bookstore, Mike has an abysmal turnout and is clearly not in a good mood, but he automatically puts his subjective feelings aside to appease the cashier. This suggests Mike's feeling function is Fe. Mike Enslin : "Just give me the key! Listen, I stayed... at the Bixby House. I brushed my goddamn teeth right next to the tub where Sir David Smith drowned his whole family, and I stopped being afraid of vampires when I was 12. Do you know why I can stay in your spooky old room, Mr. Olin? Because I know that ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties... don't exist. And even if they did, there's no God to protect us from them, now is there?" This quote examples Mike's use of Subjective Opportunism/Asceticism (Si). ✅ Note how Mike scales his sense of opportunity down to his subject, and heavily relies on his memory, when he says "Listen, I stayed... at the Bixby House" or when he starts to see his laptop as his only hope of escaping the room. He actually starts hitting the laptop when it starts to malfunction, which indicates objective opportunism/aestheticism (Se) is not a conscious function for him. He does not experience the world primarily through its material-sense like an Se user would, but he experiences primarily through immemorial reference-sense. ✅ Note how Mike's subjective reference is good, but he represses it as evidenced throughout the film by his avoidance of talking about his first book or diving into the memories of his estranged wife and dead daughter. This indicates inferior Si. Mike Enslin : [talk into tape recorder] "Hotels are a naturally creepy place... Just think, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many... died?" Mike Enslin is most probable an ENTP.
