MBTI and cartoon, "Between Friends"

In my last posting, I shared with you a cartoon from "Between Friends". I asked you if you could figure out what personality type the restaurant customer has and what type the waitress has. Any thoughts? The following is one way to look at the cartoon through type:

The customer is exhibiting the Feeling and Judging preferences. First, the Feeling preference is stating what she'd really like to have - Bacon Cheeseburger and a Chocolate Shake. The Feeling preference reveals a subjective decision-making process (this is what "I" want). Compare that to the Thinking preference that makes decisions more from an objective point-of-view (this is what "society, my boss, the rules, etc." require).

Then there's the Judging preference that is trying to adhere to a set of guidelines that she has either been told to follow or that she believes must be the right approach to eating healthy (even though she isn't behind it willingly).

It's her end comment "Some people just insist on sucking all the joys out of live" that reconfirm her strong preference is Feeling. I also would say that it shows she favors Extraversion since Extraverts look outside of themselves for their energy. That's what she'd like to do - experience the "little joys of life" which come from outside of herself.

If you have a story you'd like to share and have me see if I can figure out what preferences are being used, please do submit them but clicking on "Comments".
