His contempt for the status quo was pretty clear and his love for undermining it. He was also pretty clearly a creative over a formalist, but happy to wield the tools of formality especially against them.
He was apparently very social when younger and willing to help others. His dress sense is clearly not INTP, and I'd almost go an S or a J type because of it. Combine the creative genius with the craziness and paranoia about simple things, and I'm guessing INTJ (or maybe a small chance of being INFP or ISFP). Subversive left field revolutionaries who are a bit of a paradox personality wise belong far more in this area than NTP. Einstein or Feinman for example, were crazy break the rules types, but they were still relatively grounded in a sane reality rather than being neurotics.
If he is an Ne type rather than an INTJ, INFPs are the only Ne type that I've seen really trump the Ne sense of reality with other functions (or notice dress sense in such a consistent way). The rest of the Ne types, especially ENPs tend to get grounded in objective reality by the Ne and would find many of Godel's awkward traits (and the formality of his dress) straight out senseless. I'm guessing he's most likely INTJ though. The way he works is very familiar as an ENFP, more so than most scientists and mathematicians, but there is added strictness and care for order. It's very much the sense I get with most INTJs.
