Te: Again, there's even less of a chance that he would do this if he were Ni+Te. Also, looking at what has been said about the tightness of the Nazi regime (as in, lack thereof), I'd doubt that this was his first extroverted function.
Fi: Perhaps. His extreme patriotism could have been an extension of Fi. Or, perhaps, it was Si. Either way, whatever it was, it was stronger than the highly reactive (and therefore unable to follow through) third position, according to MBTI.

ok so i looked into hitler a little bit more. good analysis by the way. props. Ni is definitely there. Te is not. now i could make it easy and just keep pushing this "hitler is an INTJ" thing and ive actually been pushing it for the last couple posts because i wanted a good reason why or why not. all that to say im changing my stance. i talked to a guy who knew a guy who saw hitler speak personally and had a very good grip on myers briggs. this man claimed hitler was an ENFJ (super props to whoever said this, even if you just guessed randomly for no good reason). the more i look into it the more it makes sense. i just want to see valid reasons (like above) instead of vague generalities. as i was pushing INTJ i literally knew nothing (though i was leaning towards INFJ, which is why I mentioned it with MLK) about hitler personally lol. even still, im just going off of some guys analysis.
