I don't know about these NT detectives. Would they be observant enough to
catch all the clues? If I were hiring a detective I'd get an SP.

and told me that Sherlock Holmes is an INTX and that arch-enemy Dr.
Morarity (spelled right?) is an INTJ.

I agree, and I also think that Holmes was a Type Five on the Enneagram.

NT's can be very observant, when it concerns something that
catches their interest. The fact that Holmes was a Type 5
also means that he was very interested in observing and gathering
data as well as processing it.
And I do agree with you that most detectives are S's . . .
although I'm not sure how much that has to do with the
fact that most people are S's.

It depends on the type of detecting involved. The 'police procedural'
story involves collecting fact after fact until the truth reveals
itself, and in MBTI terms that's pure sensing.
But then there's the type of novel where the Great Detective is called
in when sensing has reached a dead-end and the police are baffled.
The GD then solves the case by an intuitive leap, using clues that have
no apparent connection.
Sherlock Holmes seems so superhuman because he combines meticulous fact-
finding with brilliant intuition. He's I and T certainly, presenting P
to the outside world, and has the facility to use S and N with equal
effectiveness. In other words he is no single MBTI type - and remember
that fictional characters don't have to be; they are and do whatever
their creator wishes them to.
