Typing Politicians

RansomedbyFire · 09-16-2007, 07:29 PM

I got to thinking... what are some of America's current, former, and possibly future politicians? Clinton, W., Cheney, Hillary, etc.?

My speculations (from off the top of my head):

George W. Bush: ISFJ

Dick Cheney: ENTJ

John Kerry: ENFP

Hilary Clinton: ISTJ

Bill Clinton: ESTP

Rudy Giuliani: INTJ

Wow. Ya know, I've been thinking... in my humble opinion, I really think, although I've never recognized one, ISFJ sounds like the perfect type, and it's pretty much what I aspire to be.

Bush seems ESTP from the bits and pieces I've heard.

Hillary Clinton has been classified as ENTJ on other places, which makes sense.

For the other ones I haven't heard enough of their lives outside politics to really make any decisions either way. (Though some sort of E--P makes sense for Bill Clinton.)

I'm not so sure about the ISFJ GWB part. I could never see myself running for office and then being in charge of the entire country. The criticism, the rapid decisions that need to be made. But then again, maybe that is why Bush has caused a lot of problems.

Here are my guesses, not that I really know enough about them to pinpoint them exactly.

George W. Bush: ESFJ

Dick Cheney: INTJ

Hilary Clinton: ESTJ/ENTJ

Bill Clinton: ESFP

Al Gore: INTP

Cheney should be an INTJ, considering his approach to politics seems to mirror Nixon, also an INTJ.

I would guess that Bush is an xSTx, with a preference towards ISTJ. The buddy buddy system that is currently prevalent, the decider and the things will work out all point towards SJ traits.

I think the rest of the candidates with 3-4 exceptions are forms of TJs. The exceptions would be those like Ron and Mitt, which I type as a some form of INTx and F.

I can think of a four letter word to describe Hillary but even I wouldn't post it. Use your imagination.

George Bush: ESTP
[Note: For you SJ'ers out there, Bush is married to an SJ, close friends with SJs, and both of his parents and his brother is an SJ. He is steeped in the conservative Christian culture. IMO that's why he often shows aspects of SJ behavior. But it's not his natural inclination. He's by nature an easy-going, schmoozing, seat-of-your-pants gunslinger.]

Laura Bush: ISTJ

Bill Clinton: ESFP

Hillary Clinton: INTJ

Cheney: xSTJ

John McCain: ExTJ

Al Gore: ISTJ
[Gore was under too much pressure to succeed, which is where he gets his E and N qualities from; he was always trying to be MORE than he was. Note how miserably he did in trying to extrovert and be imaginative; but he's really not that imaginative, he's very practical in his concerns... the practical ends of technology and environment.]

Rudy Guliani: IxTJ (?)

Swartzeneggar: ESFP (compare to Jesse Ventura, rampant ESTP)

John Edwards: ENFP

George Bush Sr: ISTJ

Barbara Bush: xSFJ
