He is known in the United Kingdom and in the United States for his role as a talent judge on TV shows such as Pop Idol, The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, and American Idol. Cowell is notorious as a judge for his blunt and often controversial criticisms, insults and wisecracks about contestants and their abilities. Simon Cowell has revealed that he is often plagued by "dark moods" and "miserable" thoughts. The music mogul confirmed that he rarely stays happy for long and has even considered seeking help for his problems. "Nothing in particular brings it on. You can be having the best time of your life and yet you're utterly and totally miserable. I get very antisocial, depressed and irritable with people. I don't have time for them. I can't make phone calls and stuff." On how he copes with the mood swings, the star continued: "I just sit on my own for days.”. Cowell has speculated that the personal problems may stem from his success and exhausting schedule. Which type may be Simon Cowell? X Factor 2009 Simon Cowell best insults -- jgbr |

| A1 He is usually typed as an ISTj, and I'd have to agree. He seems serious, but charming at times. And when an ISTj is unhealthy, they become depressive (I can look for the site I found this on if you'd like more info). Also, he VI's as an ISTj. -- Jas, ESFp girl |
| A2 A1. Incorrect. ISTJ types often have depressive moods indeed, but Mr Cowell's symptoms are a slightly different. -- jgbr |
A3 He would be fun to hang out with.  -- Anonymous |
| A4 Yes, I agree that his symptoms are quite strange. There are certain things he says that makes me want to go with ISTp - He says he can get anti-social, depressed and iritable with people. I don't quite think he's ESTj or INTj. -- A1 |

| A5 He's an ISTj. -- Anonymous |
| A6 jgbr, you asked for help, maybe you should appreciate A1's response, if nothing less then just keep it in mind that Simon Cowell COULD be an LSI. personally i think he is INTj. -- Anonymous |
| A7 A6 Still incorrect. I appreciate A1's effort. What is Simon Cowell's role in the tv shows? He is the critic. What type is he? -- jgbr |
| A8 Actually, yes, I agree. He could be an INTj still. -- A1 |
| A9 In spite of all his "negativism", he is really a very kindly person in nature. He is capable of pouring a bucket of cold water out on the head of an enthusiast. But on the other hand, he is likewise capable of easing one's despair, when they are unlucky, when things go the wrong way, when destiny seems to be hostile. He is not INTJ. -- jgbr |
| A10 jgbr, are you trying to say he is an INTp? -- A1 |
| A11 Maybe he's an ESTJ aspiring to be an INTP. The long-entrenched, stony heart awaiting something magical and otherworldly, deep within another, to awaken it - and in steady, relentless pursuit for PERFECT (HA) infilling of this, his personal inner grail. He does come off a bit haughty, too, doesn't he - ? -- Anonymous |
| A12 A10. Is that so hard to believe? -- jgbr |
| A13 hahaha simon cowell is NOT an INTp. you can just VI him and tell THAT much. -- A6 |
| A14 A13 Are you sure? Simon Cowell is not a judger, he is the critic. I suggest you to collect a bunch of images of John Travolta, John F Kennedy, Roger Waters and Simon Cowell. Stare these images for one or two days and you will see emerging patterns. -- jgbr |
| A15 just because someone's occupation is a critic doesn't mean they are "the critic" in socionics... look at the difference. http://i37.tinypic.com/4udhs8.jpg these are all INTps. now look at http://i38.tinypic.com/15h6cz.jpg that is an INTj. there's a huge difference in how INTj's and INTp's look. perhaps i should be giving you the lesson instead of you attempting to give me one, even though i haven't even seen your name on this site that i have been using for years until just a couple weeks ago. -- Anonymous |
| A16 jgbr: Wrong. If you watch his body language, Simon seems to have a rather controlled nature as opposed to a more relaxed one, indicative of Ij temperament rather than Ip. My typing is IxTj/LxI, probably INTj/LII -- [si][te] |
| A17 Simon Cowell is an INTP perhaps with mild case of schizotypal PD according to his own observations. He is in the middle on this image http://i37.tinypic.com/4udhs8.jpg A15. Of course you can give me the lesson. I am always interested to learn from experts. -- jgbr |
| A18 A16 has a point. INTp's remind me of unstructured oddballs, whereas INTj's are a bit more put together -in attitude as well as appearance. Not all INTp's are exactly alike, but he seems more Ij. -- Anonymous |
| A19 A18. Some INTPs may be unstructured oddballs, nevertheless many of them are highly valued professionals in their own fields. INTJs are solitary and perhaps less people-oriented. -- jgbr |
| A20 and who's to say simon cowell isn't solitary and less people-oriented? -- Anonymous |
| A21 jgbr: You do realize this is Socionics and not MBTI, right? These outward characteristics you're stating can apply to many types. -- SLI |
| A22 A21. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Socionics are both based on Jung's psychological types theory. MBTI is the Anglo-Saxon school and Socionics is the Russian (Soviet) school. Both of them are important. -- jgbr |
| A23 That wasn't my point. "These outward characteristics you're stating can apply to many types." That was my point. They both originate from Jung, true, but they are not the same. -- SLI |
| A24 ISTp. He's Mel Gibson, part deux. -- INFp guy |
| A25 jgbr, why are you so 100% positive that he is INTp. Could there be even a one percent error in your judgement? -- Anonymous |
