Why are people voting him INFJ? Is it because he made Heal the World? He clearly had Fi-Se. Examples of his HIGH level of Se and Fi; • Michael said that most of his movement onstage was spontaneous. He said “It just comes down to feeling. That’s all it is.. I just get onstage and it happens. I should probably practise more.. It’s all spontaneous.” • Michael once learned and replicated an entire, very complicated dance done by Fred Astaire after watching it ONCE. He managed to re-do it to the finest detail, when it took Fred ages of practise. This reminds me of Mozart, who had high Se and could replicate entire songs after hearing them once. • Michael’s music may have humanitarian themes, but think of how the main focus was to make it sonically perfect and to “sound amazing”. • His lifestyle was that of someone with high Se. He had constant water balloon fights, trampoline jumping, riding on rides, riding horses, food fights, pranks, etc. He had huge sculptures and intricate paintings surrounding him in his property that was made to be a sensory masterpiece for his vision of beauty. He had cannons in his house at some point made so that he could have excitement as if he was in a cartoon, and he even owned a fire truck. His views of a good childhood were all very Se. If he was an Ni dom, he would likely lived out his lost childhood in a different, more cerebral way. • His concerts were high energy and very sensory. He had sparks flying, smoke, platforms, etc. He would shoot out from the floor and stand there, looking like a perfect statue. He even used to hang off of a flying stage platform spontaneously to make the crowd go wild, nearly slipping off many times. He would run around and climb fences and do dances unlike anyone ever saw, never missing a beat. Would someone with low Se have shows like this? A pleasant sensory experience was the MAIN focus. • His music had humanitarian themes, but these were tied to his personal Fi. He sang about things that affected him deeply, like children’s issues or African American issues. He didn’t care about the common morals (Fe) of society, he had his own views and this made him stubborn and rebellious sometimes. An example of this is that when so many people said he was creepy for hanging out with kids (I don’t think he was creepy, he was innocent, evidence points to it), he didn’t care about the “common morals” because he knew that he personally wasn’t doing anything wrong. He was living out this Fi view of helping kids not suffer like he did and no matter what society or anyone said, he did what he knew was right. • MJ clearly had Ni, but he also couldn’t see too far in the future with his higher Fi, because he hung around with people who were evil, money suckers and didn’t realise the consequences that would come from associating with folks like this. Just because he wanted to be right and to be moral (Fi dom). He was sometimes impulsive, like when he agreed to let the cancer suffering kid stay in his room (don’t worry, MJ’s assistant was there and said MJ didn’t do anything) just because the kid asked and looked sadly at him. His Fi-Se was higher than his Ni because he couldn’t see how his life could be destroyed by this kid’s sketchy family (who scammed people in the past). His dominant Fi made him extremely naive and stubborn in only following his morals, never taking a step back and analysing before doing what he knew to be right. Another example is he saw his fans calling him outside his window and he impulsively showed his kid off the balcony for everyone to see. He wanted to make his fans happy, and it backfired because he didn’t think of the long term effects. This made him easily exploited. • MJ was a perfectionist and a genius, but this is not tied to being “intuitive”. Mozart was a sensor, and I see some similarities between him and Michael. Most people do not have an understanding of what cognitive functions are. Being smart + humanitarian ≠ Ni-Fe.
