Default Famous/INfamous people you wish didn't share your type

Osama Bin Laden, I am ashamed to be of the same type (which according to things I have read make him an INFP) as him. Sure he is fighting for his values and what he believes in, but ordering the death of thousands? is that even an infp thing to do?

I couldn't watch people being killed for differing beliefs than mine, if Fi means to care more about what it takes for the person to be happy, how then can his Fi need to impose what he sees as good onto others, and if not kill them?

Who do you wish wasn't a representative for your type?

Yeah ok, as long as you don't think they will get upset about it. I mean I don't think Osama's going to see me dissing him.

Tom Cruise. No self-respecting ISTP should be that loopy.

Seriously, I can't think of anyone...which kind of surprises me.

I'm a bit disappointed that Princess Diana was purported to be INFP. She may have been involved in numerous causes but her constant need for attention and admiration always made her appear desperate and pathetic.

I'm sure there are others but I haven't bothered to memorize every type list of (in)famous people and don't have much inclination to make one myself.

I don't care who shares the INFP type. It isn't like we were al hatched from the same pod or anything. It is just a tool for personal discovery to me, not something that I think defines the very core of me and who I am. Of course there will be INFP whose actions I don't agree with, we aren't the same people. There are INFP on message boards that I really, really do not agree with and would not want in my private life, so I imagine that would be greater out in the wide real world.
