Introverted Feeling (Fi) “You’re living in America; leave your conscience at the tone.” Mark has developed a strong inner sense of morality, and always tries to stay true to himself. This is best shown when he and his friends criticize Benny for who he has become and for not keeping his word, as well as when he quits his job at Buzzline during “What You Own” because he finds their journalism to be “sleazy”. Instead, he goes back to working on his own film. Mark doesn’t show emotion openly: he prefers to stay behind his camera and stick to his inner feelings, using them to guide himself through what problems come up during the show.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne) “The opposite of war isn’t peace! It’s creation!” Mark can flit from idea to idea with ease, and is always curious about what might happen next. He longs for, as Roger says, “a community of his own” where people like himself and his friends will be accepted. In “La Vie Boheme”, Mark switches topics every other second while describing his community’s bohemian lifestyle and what entails of it (“To days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing…”). He is even willing to drop everything and help Maureen with her equipment, simply because of what opportunities might arise once he’s there. Mark can also see some of the negative outcomes of the future, such as when his friends will have succumbed to their AIDS, but looks ahead nonetheless.

Introverted Sensing (Si) “Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory?” While Mark prefers to think about what the future might hold, he does place emphasis on the past in order to keep moving. He spends much of the show filming his friends in his movie, wanting to have something to look back on and remember the present with. This can also be seen during “Halloween”, as he rubs over in his mind what has occurred in the past year since last Christmas Eve get to where he is now, and states that he will always remember that night. After Angel’s funeral, it is Mark’s grief that persuades him to continue working on his film and quit his tabloid job.
