Okay, how did Hitler get left off the list?

I've seen some very silly arguments for Hitler being an NF, and the like, but they are all baseless.......as is the argument for him being an E.

One should read Albert Speer's personal memoir, 'Inside the Third Reich' about his interactions with Hitler, and one will plainly see that Hitler was clearly an INTJ, who had developed a very successful public persona that did not match his private life.

If someone is going to make a list of famous INTJ's, one is remiss to miss the most famous extreme example of the type.........which isn't to say that all INTJ's are evil Nazis, any more than all ENTJ's are evil Napoleonic wannabe conqueror's (Okay.....bad example).

Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen gotta be INTJ... )

Immanuel Kant (really, I can't think of anything about him that doesn't point to INTJ...)

Eminem (idk, I could be wrong, but there's INTJ in his lyrics, artistic style, stoneface, blunt honesty, underlying ethics, perfectionism, originality. Tertiary relief makes for INTJ-artists?)

I had ever mentioned the queen Elisabeth I if you look well.
I'm not sure Kant was not INTP. HBut he was a typical intelectualy masturbating INTx for sure.
Eminem is ISTP.

Nixon was'nt INTJ but ESTJ: very traditionalist and not I in anyway.

Oops, sorry I missed that.

I'm not sure Kant was not INTP. HBut he was a typical intelectualy masturbating INTx for sure.

Kant was super J! Planning a project like the three Critiques and then actually carrying it out to completion without distractions and delays?! That's not a P. Also, the people in Königsberg could set their clocks from his set routines. The famous daily walk was only interrupted that one day when he was reading Rousseau's new book, "Emile". Romanticism was Fi-engaging the Ni-Te universe. Lots of Fi in his Enlightenment essay too. Eh, AND he had the virgin-vibe, or at least permanent bachelor. The dry, serious surface would give way to his surprising talent for humour only when (regularly) hosting a close circle of friends.

Eminem is ISTP.

Somewhere I've read that ISTP is the S-type most superficially resembling an INTJ. I used to be married to a very smart, talented and unimpressed ISTP, but ISTPs simply don't have anything like the Fi-intensity peeking through in INTJs. Which Eminem has. This guy is not a impulsive, playful, flexible and chancetaking SP. He planned his career, works like a horse and it's not for fun, impulse, sex or opportunity. It's kind of life and death, it's a project, it's a goal and a mission. The expressed Te-toughness (god sent me to piss the world off) gives way to some genuine, uncompromised relief in authentic Fi-value.

Nixon was'nt INTJ but ESTJ: very traditionalist and not I in anyway.

Agreed. He couldn't smalltalk though, but that may be a T's lack of people skills rather than introversion.
About Dick Cheney, I can't see any N displayed in that guy. SJ or SP. He appears to have a short attentionspan, prone to opportunism and poor decisionmaking, so maybe an ESTP gone bad?
About Hitler as well - where does he have any N?!? He was a very simple man, liking dogs, predictability, pretty but unchallenging women from a modest background, basic conversation topics with predictable people and trivial kitchy art and scenery. N?

 

[Heart&Brain]

Oh and: Samuel Beckett must be on the INTJ-team.
Not INFJ (though they love his chillness of 'people' being moved about in impersonal systems).

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Dick Cheney is the INTJ stereotype - strategic planner who looks ahead, not an administrator.

Also, John D. Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Bill Bellichick.

Bill Gates extroverts Ne.

RM Nixon was about as obvious an INTJ as you're ever likely to stumble across due to strong preferences for all four letters + extreme TV exposure.

M is ENTJ.

Fuck off, please.

 

[FigerPuppet]

Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice.

Off-topic: Mr. Bennet is great. INTP?

 

[Amphion]

Jean-Luc Picard is my archetype INTJ. I think people who say he's an ENTJ are tragically mistaken.

Going off your information and knowing little else about Eminem, his desire to "piss people off" sounds more F to me. Te is unconcerned whether people are happy or not, except in how far it can execute its plans. Making people mad doesn't help with that. Eminem may be a very intelligent guy, but that doesn't make him an INTJ. Many ISTPs are very intelligent people.

Christian Bale

There are a lot of people on your list that clearly aren't INTJs, but with this one you might be right. In interviews he is extremely professional and focused on exploring and giving an account of the motives of characters and themes of the movies in which he acts; there's very little fluff in what he says, unless asked directly. He has also stated that he likes his privacy and dislikes talking about personal matters, especially familial issues, and, while one might object that there are obvious reasons for that, it has always been this way, even before the scandals began. He plays video games but has said that he has decided to "devote his spare time to more constructive things"; a very "TJ" thing to say, at the very least. His disdain for romantic comedies is also telling, and when he correctly pointed out that it's an oxymoron I must admit I got a slight hard-on. I suppose he could be an ISTJ, but the way he discusses themes and character development seems very non-linear and intuitive. Definitely an IxTJ in any case.

Thanks.

Still,

Gandalf- INFJ

No, Gandalf can be a little warm and gregarious sometimes, but he's above all logical and directive: INTJ

Beatrix Kiddo- ENTJ

She's very in touch with her Se, but that does'nt mean that she's ENTJ. She's totally master of herself, but not really master of others.

Xerxes- ENTJ

Not in-charge at all. Seriously, I have thought about every NT types but not that one... Maybe that means he's INTP?

Dexter- INTP

Possible, an arrogant one then. Can you develop?

Zero- INTP

No, I don't think so. Zero is above all a planner, not laid-back at all and his tertiary Fi is obvious. Wu-Zi-Mu is an INTP.
