yes. 8w9 Sx/So or So/Sx
Is there some aversion around here to typing an obvious social Reformer as a 1?

His demeanor and aura is very INFJ. He has this classy, composed, eccentric, spiritualness to him that reminds me of monks, Ghandi, Jesus, etc. I know an NJ when I see one.
And I can't help but lol at the thought of an Sexual ENFP 7w6 having the patience to carry out a non-violent protest and never have any slip ups or visible moments of frustration. Sexual 7w6s aren't necessarily spazzes, but it seems really unnatural for them to show that much composure and tact while getting treated like sh-t constantly.
You seem to have a narrow view of what an ENFP 7w6 sx is and is not capable of.
If I'm remembering correctly, MLK Jr. was over the age of 14 when he was doing the majority of the work he is famous for am I right? Yes, I believe I am in this regard. And while I'm not commenting here on what I feel his type was as I have never considered it before... I will say that when it comes to Human Rights...or any issue I believe in with every ounce of my being...I am capable of damn near anything for however long it takes.
And for some more lolz, you will find on this site and others strong arguments for typing the historical Jesus as ENFP (most likely 7w6 sx as well). iow, while the biblical Jesus was INFJ...the historical Jesus was ENFP.

He is not an F in my opinion.
ENFJ is obvious to me. He's commonly typed as an 8w9, but I'm between 8 and 1 for him, personally, though I lean towards the former. (Perhaps, his being a double compliant in his other fixes might contribute to him seeming a little more 1-like; definitely x26 in his tritype). Lots of ethical idealism, but despite his commitment to nonviolence, he was very tactically flexible and felt more of a protector instinct towards his community and the rights they were fighting for (despite his initial reluctance to take up the mantle). Consider this quote from Letter from a Birmingham Jail: "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored." That's why I still lean towards 8, but I'm open to other arguments. The biggest distortion of his philosophy today is equating his advocacy of nonviolence with singing kumbaya as a way to solve all problems. He was still about direct action and confrontation, just in a different and more creative way.
