personalityzone.com has Obama as an INTJ.
Rating The Candidates 7 – Personality As The Differentiator
Someone suggested that Obama is more likely an extravert than an introvert due to his social nature.
Here were the comments from Keirsey and Kip (the guy who wrote the article)
Keirsey: "There are many differences between Keirsey and Myers. One is that Keirsey has little use for Extraversion and Introversion. He uses the concepts of Expressive and Attentive. A Fieldmarshal Rational correlates to Myers' ENTJ, but the Expressive Coordinator (a FieldMarshal) does not have to be "social." Good examples of Fieldmarshals are George C. Marshall and Douglas MacArthur that were mobilizers but would not be considered particularly "social." The Myers E/I doesn't make as much sense for the Rational temperament."
Kip: "Here's an interesting quote from The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz who has been covering the Obama campaign. "In an age of all-out political warfare," Kurtz wrote recently, "the Obama campaign is a bit of an odd duck: It is not obsessed with winning each news cycle. The Illinois senator remains a remote figure to those covering him, and his team, while competent and professional, makes only spotty attempts to drive its preferred story lines in the press." This describes an INTJ much more than ENTJ to me."
Kip: "Republican Senator Richard Lugar said about him, “At certain points in history, certain people are the ones that are most likely to have the vision or imagination or be able to identify talent and to manage other people's ideas. And I think he does this well." These are traits often used to describe NTJ Rationals, but he has used them in creating an image of caring and connecting – image traits that come most naturally to Artisans such as Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, but due to the “software” of his character, seem to have become more natural to Obama than most Rationals."
Question though, couldn't this describe an Idealist too?
Keirsey brings up a possible reason for why the Rational Obama could seem Idealist.
Keirsey: "A small note regarding Obama character, I suspect that his Idealism was highly influenced by his mother. She was a clear Idealist, most likely a Counselor Idealist."
I still think Obama is an NF but Kip has a good argument.. at least for Obama being an XNXJ of some sort. To be fair, one of the main arguments for Obama being a XXXP is his talk of change. Judgers don't mind change.. as long as they are the ones making the changes!
Also love or hate Hillary, she's an NT not an SJ. Her whole life has been a 'strategy' to become President herself. The fact that she is a strong Thinker and Judger and is too busy trying to nitpick every flaw in Obama could be her downfall in the remaining Democratic primaries.
McCain, I think there is no doubt that he is an ESTP. Just please don't be one of these people who is like "LOL!! McCain=Bush!! Bad for country!!" I know of a lot of die-hard conservatives who actually can't stand McCain. Of course, that is the reason why he won the primary. He's the only Republican I can stand actually but I feel that his platform has become more 'conservative' as campaigning has gone on. This is something that comes naturally for an Artisan.
