I do not believe that Bateman is an ixtj, but a messed up isfj. Hid si ti loop comes out when he is explaining in details of what he sees, what he thinks and why he believes. His fe comes out when he has he realized that breaking up with his fiancee and then she cried out lied so everuone can hear it and everybody is looking at him like he is jerk. His ne comes out when he bl
believes that he is not getting away with his crime. Fe ne users always sounded and looked bery cartoony unless they have developed their secondary function real well.

MBTI Type
INTJ
3 more years later,
Clearly anyone who thinks he's INTJ have no clue and never met an INTJ and is pretty bad at using MBTI. Bateman is ABSOLUTELY Sensing. Not intuitive at all. A previous poster is anylized it best.

Everybody in this thread is way off, imho.

Bateman is a classic case of ESFJ with Narcissistic Personality Disorder...his secondary Si doesn't work so he has no sense of grounding to the real world and no ability to internally consider that there might be anything wrong with him.

You get Fe+Ne. The dominant Fe is obvious in his absolute obsession over public image and the ludicrous insecurity that results only from total overdependence upon external sources of psychological validation (this happens because he has two extroverted functions running the show.)

Tertiary Ne manifests itself in terms of his murder fantasies throughout the entire novel. He is so brutally insecure that fantasizing about murdering the people with stronger public image than his is the only way he can feel secure again.

Read the book again looking for Fe+Ne and I think it's very obvious he's just an ESFJ with horrific NPD.

MBTI Database also says he's ESTJ
