	Hi, Woll Smoth users, sorry for bothering your time. Can I ask for your help with the one in IDRlabs' "Additional Typings?" Well, that's David Deutsch, a physicist. He was the one who advocated Karl Popper's philosophy as far as I remember. I actually think it's different, because he's a bit of an introvert, maybe he's an ENTP? Is that true, but an INTP? Maybe. But I think he is still in the xSFJ category of whatever cognitive function is, but is that true? Why do I have a different feeling? But yeah, if you want to add it to Sakinorva Databank while explaining the function axis and the tools for typing someone, you can also do it in the comments column.

	I think JK Rowling is STJ (and most certainly NOT INFP). For evidence: Rowling: "[If you] sit down and just let [yourself] just write ... normally that means you’re going to hit about one and a half good ideas and the rest will be rubbish. It’s normally very, very, very finely planned – what I’m going to do that day even. I make meticulous plans in advance and I bore children rotten when I meet them and say to them, 'Yes your teachers are right – plan it. You'll never write something as good if you just sit down and ramble'." Rowling: "I have master files on all these different characters. I have huge amounts of background just to keep myself orientated. I know where Strike lived. A huge amount about his mother’s history that I will never use. It sounds prosaic, like being a sort of filing clerk for your own work, but that’s what you do. ... I really like the sense of knowing where I’m going." Rowling: "I have a large and complicated chart propped on the desk in front of me to remind me what happens where, how, to whom and which bits of crucial information need to be slipped into which innocent-looking chapters." Rowling: "I plan; I really plan quite meticulously. I know it is sometimes quite boring because when people say to me, 'I write stories at school and what advice would you give me to make my stories better?' And I always say (and people’s faces often fall when I say), 'You have to plan,' and they say, 'Oh, I prefer just writing and seeing where it takes me.' Sometimes writing and seeing where it takes you will lead you to some really good ideas, but I would say nearly always it won’t be as good as if you sat down first and thought, Where do I want to go, what end am I working towards, what would be good—a good start?" As IDRlabs have said "As Jung says, Te likes to put everything on a formula, and then follow that formula. Te likes structure, fixed standards, and set procedures." Unlike Fi dominant types who repress Te and therefore are much more likely to disdain standard operating procedures, Rowling seems very much oriented towards it (in other words, she probably has conscious Te). And not only that, her plans are also much more in line with ALL OF THE DETAILS. Si has a better awareness of all the minutiae than both N functions. Now which STJ type I think is more likely atm? IDK, but Rowling I can confidently is NOT INFP (or any FP type for that matter). If she isn't STJ then maybe I could see the argument for SFJ but certainly not INFP.

Editing post #864 by strawberry crisis <iframe width="300" height="170" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoBPOZznSvY?start=217" frameborder="0" encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br><br> <p>I changed my vote to 1w9 after opening up this exact interview at this exact timestamp but she really does seem too 9 first to be 1 first overall. I know a couple of 9 (and perceiving!) artists who wouldn't ever compromise their work and would make sure that it were properly adapted so I can't really call it an indicator for anything. Her twitter and her social justice stuff I guess can seem 1 but I don't really think it shows anything—she kind of acts exactly what you'd expect a judging 9 to act like.</p>

	I have a really hard time seeing her as a core 1 from interviews and testimonials from thr people she’s worked with. She was extremely accompdating and easygoing when it came to adapting Harry Potter that the main screenwriter even remarked on it as a breath of fresh air and not at all the norm. I don’t think having strong social justice values alone qualifies her as a 1– especially in light of the Johnny Depp apologia. She seems like a really agreeable and harmony oriented 9 from interviews. Not critical at all.

	I still have no clue until now. I don't know but I think it is in vain to search about that again, In my research I seeing some of Se? In this person tweet in his X account (former name Twitter) but yeah I now don't know about this person again.
