The Alien, The Freak

The style: Cold, detached, robotic, schizophrenic, INTJ.

A lot of these people I mistyped as INTJ’s initially. They often look like INTJ and deal with similar themes of INTJ (like being a tin man for example), but as far as the actors and musicians are concerned, well, that is basic INFJ territory that nary an actual INTJ steps into, at least without serious repercussions to their popularity (which is non-existent in the first place). However, the Uranian INFJ must express themselves in the manner of the INTJ, which I would say overall is freakish, alienesque, detached, cold, robotic, or maybe a sort of commentary on the depersonalization of the human condition.

You can hear this style all through the band Radiohead’s albums starting with The Bends, then reaching a pinnacle with OK Computer, then going over the fucking grey rainbow with Kid A. Strangely enough, they were one of the most popular, if not the most popular band of the late 90’s. But here’s the song that started it all.

The Uranian imprint tends to favor blue eyes and blond hair and there can be something freakish about the appearance. Let’s take a look at non-blue-eyed, non-blond-haired Jeff Goldblum for a reference in this regard.

Type-Cast

If you are a Uranian INFJ, you’re gonna be cast in the role of THE ALIEN. When the INFJ person moves to the style of their INFJ subtype, they are magically able to channel all the INFJ potentials through their signature planet, in this case, Uranus.

For example, Look at Jeff Bridges in Starman. He’s a fucking alien. 

 

Or Jeff Goldblum in The Fly. He’s a fucking fly.

Check out Earth Girls Are Easy for some lighter alien fare from Mr. Goldblum. It’s free to watch on Youtube with ads, so don’t miss out!

But my favorite Uranian INFJ performance is the iconic Agent Smith in The Matrix. This was a signature role for actor Hugo Weaving, a Uranian INFJ. He also played the Elf-King in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies and ruled in those as well. But I digress…

But enough with INFJs!

Let’s bring in some Uranian ENFJs who express the more dramatic side of Uranus. ENFJs can generally be differentiated from INFJ by having more exotic/dramatic/glamorous/exaggerated features and physiognomy.

Let’s look at Christopher Walken in the movie Communion. Alien abduction. Rectal probes. Something foreign invading his being, particularly HIS MIND. Uranus represents THE HIGHER MIND, and schizophrenia is the invasion with alien thoughts, a malady that Uranian types are particularly prone to. But alien abduction is a close runner-up.

David Bowie looks so Uranian it hurts:

Well I hope you caught a grasp of that there thing that was flying through the universe and across your mind because I be finished on the serious tip.

Stay tuned for more fun and hijinks with all the flavors and fashions of the wide world of INFJ when I review the Saturnian INFJ next time around.

Bye for now!
