Chris Langan is probably either INTJ or INTP and 5w4 or 5w6 so/sp or sp/so but I will welcome other possibilities for his type. He is the record highest IQ holder in America.

I feel sorry for him.

He seems extremely intelligent....but he still cannot escape the trappings of mental stew that many very intelligent people suffer from. Lots of theory...little action.

But of course action is not the be all end all. Maybe that will always be the danger for the highly intelligent, when you can think upon multiple levels and frameworks at once, it becomes hard to act upon any one idea.

Maybe im fortunate that I am not possessed of too much intelligence, it sounds like torture.

I have seen this video before. Was it posted on this forum? I've read about him too.

Felt quite sorry when I read about his childhood.

Some of us are so lucky to come from healthy families and some others are so unlucky.

Sigh!

I would guess he is INTP.

Regarding the subject of 'Intelligence Tests', it had been found out by researches that out of all intelligence tests 'Emotional Intelligence' tests show the highest correlation between success and having high results.

Some Te type. He has some latent Fi maybe with his sense of unity and humanitarianism and whatever, but it's all serving a heavy authoritarian outlook. So it's not truly unified.. just unified under his systems. And whatever can't be unified gets thrown in his eugenics program. lol. He bucks status quo, and has a rebellious attitude, so he isn't SJ. At the same time, it's self absorbed rebellion. His Se is for himself. He thinks everyone else has too much freedom.

I have seen him before and he actually seems like an estx of some kind in other interviews my personal take (well to be fair I saw the video like 5 years ago).

I always liked this guy who is clearly an infp

How is Daniel Tammet clearly INFP? Because he's mild-mannered and polite? He seems to be an introverted sensing intellectual type.

In socionics terms, I'm pretty sure he'd be an ISTj...

Because he has a rich inner world that he expresses in a very aesthetic personally emotional way and he is gay :laugh:

Yeah, I could see that. He's a smart Dick Cheney..

It's funny that I'm typing as the same functions in MBTI.. but LSIs have a stick up their ass.

Lol...yes, pi recited to over 20000 digits is so aesthetic personal and emotional, and ofc all infps are gay, you must know that because you're an NT, right?
