i agree with the thomas moore entp-thing. like socrates he put his ass on the line for something he believed in.
with erasmus its just... i get this NF feeling which i cant explain...
I know what you mean, I was in two minds about that... thinking about how he sorta mocks the stoic approach of 'wise men' in ME, but as I say, that could partly be because subversion and paradox were all the rage at the time.
I can't imagine him being ENFJ, cos More's wife didn't like him and a lot of people didn't like him face to face, so he can't have had brilliant Fe. ENFP - nah, he was too staid, too bookish for that. INFP - well, possibly... but again I can't imagine INFP's having people react to them the way they did to Erasmus - some foreign ambassadors wrote that he was 'disgusting' - I can't see that word being used of an INFP. And INFJ... he seemed too interested in influencing the world around him to be INFJ.
Which is why I fell onto the NT side, though I agree it's not ideal...
I can't figure whether his keenness on spreading his ideas and influencing people/society were due to extraversion or J-ness...
He could even be an S, y'know... thinking about it... in fact I wouldn't put it past him to have been possibly ISTJ... not a stereotypical one, but like ISTJ's often go when they decide to not be stereotypical... lol
Reason I say that is because I realised that I instinctively though 'not INFJ' because he was distinctly un-dreamy, quite a big fan of the real world and evidence and facts and stuff...
