Penélope Cruz

Spanish actress
ILE (Seeker)
Alternatives: LII
Пенелопа Крус

Comments:
A fabulous actress, but not as emotionally expressive off-screen as one might think. In fact, the pictures show a sort of indifferent attitude most of the time.

Is constantly linked to other Alpha Quadra actors and movie makers: Tom Cruise (ESE), Salma Hayek (ESE), her favorite director Pedro Almodóvar (SEI), Matthew McConaughey (ESE), Orlando Bloom (SEI?), Danny DeVito (SEI), Adrien Brody (ESE), etc.

Videos:
Oscar Buzz interview
Note how emotionally neutral she is.
On Letterman: part 1 - part 2
Note her seriousness as she talks about things. When she tries to be funny, it is not obvious like with most other women who are very emotional and flirtatious on Letterman.
Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz on Charlie Rose (starting 19:00)

Richard Dawkins

British evolutionary biologist
ILE (Seeker)
Ричард Докинз

Comments:
Dawkins is an extremely active promoter of Darwinism and a scientific worldview and a very outspoken athiest. Dawkins speaking style is reminiscent of David Deutsch or a sped-up George Soros. Dawkins is very good at getting at the "main point," which he keeps emphasizing again and again from different angles. In his interviews and appearances he sticks to a purely conceptual speaking style, never bringing in personal sentiments. He does not have a problem saying, "yes, I believe they are deluded" about the people in the audience. In general, he pays little attention to personal sentiments, which is where he tends to attract the most persistent criticism, as his logic is impervious. However, he likes funny jokes, laughter, and a light-hearted atmosphere.

Dawkins inadvertently spawned the highly theoretic field of memetics by postulating the theoretical existence of information replicators in the brain analogous to genes in the body (basically as a thought experiment to demonstrate his point that replicators are the basis of evolution). Memetics is a typically Alpha Quadra field (like socionics) with lots of explanatory value on a theoretical level but significant difficulties in building an empirical base. Some of the scientists close to Dawkins seem to be ILEs as well (Daniel Dennett, Susan Blackmore), while conceptual opponent Stephen Jay Gould seems to be an ILI (here's a video — I'll include him here later).

Yuriy Shevchuk

Russian singer (DDT)

Alternatives: IEI
Юрий Шевчук

Comments:
Singer and songwriter of popular rock band DDT. Known for his highly creative, poetic lyrics and compelling, gravely voice. His lyrics are full of allegories, metaphors, and irony.

Pete Townshend

English musician (The Who)
ILE (Seeker)
Пит Тоунсенд

Comments:
In addition to being a musician and composer, Townshend is very interested in conveying ideas and his vision of things. Enjoys giving interviews and commentary, and writing his thoughts down for others. Often has a spaced-out look.

Probable types of other members of The Who:

Roger Daltrey — senser
Keith Moon — senser, possibly ESE or SEI
John Entwistle — ILE or LII
