“Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call ‘fatum’, what we currently refer to as destiny.”

Serendipity: Jonathan Trager [ENTP]

OFFICIAL TYPING by Charity / the Mod

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Jonathan is immediately captivated by Sarah and excited as he considers all the different possibilities and perspectives she brings into his life. Even though he rejects her “leave it to destiny and chance” idea at first, it sticks to him like glue, and a few years later he’s obsessed with it and totally on board, letting it dictate his decisions. Jonathan pursues any and all ideas with enthusiasm and his infectious delight in them drags others into it with him. He’s a dreamer as much as a doer, and loves that Sarah can talk about unusual things.

Introverted Thinking (Ti): He pulls apart Sarah’s ideas when they first meet; how is leaving something this important (their instant kismet) to chance rational? He goes on to constantly analyze her feelings, her behaviors, his feelings, his behaviors, whether or not he’s doing the right thing, if destiny exists, etc., as he struggles to figure out what he really wants and pursue it. He rationalizes everything, waffling between idealism and pessimism (well, destiny isn’t on my side today) and his own incredulousness that he’s even considering “fate” (what am I even doing?!).

Extroverted Feeling  (Fe): Jonathan is extremely free and open with his feelings; he tells Sarah numerous times through their first date how much he likes her. He tries to appeal to her on an emotional level and get her name and phone number. He says how much he doesn’t want this to end, and wouldn’t they be great together? Then he goes home and talks to someone else about it, about how he feels in his current relationship, about his wondering if he should pursue Sarah after the long pause, etc. He worries about what other people will think and how his girlfriend may react, and doesn’t come clean with her for awhile out of fear of hurting her feelings.

Introverted Sensing (Si): Sarah is old news, midway through the film, but he’s still stuck on her. Stuck on the details. Wants to retrace old ground and go back to someone he left behind… kinda. He spends a lot of the film in “the grip” while he relives the past, desperate to make his future better.
