| Famous Types
I'm puzzled at several of the typings. here are suggestions which fit
better with my biased and eccentric opinion.
| Famous ENTPs:
==============
| Arthur C. Clark - SF writer
hardly. I'd say ENFP.
| Bill Cosby, actor, comedian
no way. I'd say ESFP.
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
ISFJ.
| Famous INTPs:
===============
| Albert Einstein, physicist
ENFP.

The list was found on the site where the Keirsey Temperment Sorter
is posted. What specific changes would you make?<<
Killing Joe Butts, the clueless INTP who wrote this list would be a start.
Virtually 2/3 of the typings are not only inaccurate but absurdly so. To
offer one of the more inane examples, he types Dick Clark, an ESFJ, as an
INFP. Every INFP I've mentioned **that** to has gotten a big laugh out of
it...

Not on the net, that I'm aware of. If, however, you wantr some **acurate**
examples of a specific type, I'll be happy to provide...
Danny, who is looking forward to the Evander (ISTJ) Holyfield--Mike (INFP)
Tyson fight on Nov. 9 and finds it funny as hell that the "baddest man on
the planet" is an INFP...

I'm very glad to hear you say that! :-) Hannibal Lecter (_Silence of the

Reeta---here are some real INTJs: David Letterman (incorrectly typed by
Butt-head as an ENTJ, but biographical evidence clearly shows he's about
as introverted as one can be), Michael Dukakis, Richard Nixon (sorry),
Dorian Yates, Forest Sawyer....Actually, Ol' Hanibal probably was/is quite
INTJ, although I hate arguing over fictional characters because, of
course, they can change from episode to episode (example: In some "Star
Trek" episodes, Spock is an INTJ, while in others he's an
INTP...)...Lector did have INTJ wit down pat, IMHO...BTW, INTJ is the
least common MBTI type for females, so if you ever feel alienated, take
heart...
