(Except perhaps that he's too plainly scared to be INTP, whatever that means.)
I'm going with INTP.
What *does* that mean? IXTJs are ALL cowards?
I'm not going to argue with you, but it seems like a strange assertion....
How can impatience look like fear? You do come out with some oddities.In the video he appears confident of what he is saying, but there's an undercurrent. He is willing to go through with what he has decided to do, and he will speak what he thinks is enough background to explain what he is going to do, but in his manner there is an impatience. It looks like fear. I think it looks like fear of the moment. He has the grand understanding, but the moment is slipping away from him. Will people understand? Will he have done right? Will he lose it all because he gets caught? It looks like the anxiety that goes with closure thinking.
I may project.

It's natural for anyone to be afraid when they make themselves public enemy #1 of the most unscrupulous nation in the free world. Even when that someone is a kick-ass INTP.
He has the classic "deer-in-the-headlights" INTP look. Also the trademark monotone. He feels "compelled" to talk. He's not interested in celebrity, it's a necessary evil. Hence, what you perceive as impatience. (IxTJs, otoh, love the sound of their own voices - almost as much as they love the smell of their own farts). Dropping out of formal education / the military / the system is entirely consistent with INTPness. As is his näive idealism. It's hard to imagine any IxTJ having a problem with "turn-key tyranny"....when he is holding the key.
If this were not compelling enough, he's much too cute to be any kind of J.

INTx without a doubt.
I saw you initially write same type as Ron Paul.
That would be INFP.
He looks like an ENTP to me.NT without a doubt. What's the case for him being an introvert and not an extrovert, though?
Interesting.... meanwhile, GWB is a definite ESFP. I see no other type as a possibility, honestly.
I agree with INTP, for most of the reasons you cite. I also see in Snowden a drive for the Truth, which often attends that type. He wants the truth to be known, and hopes that will be enough to bring about change, but knows it probably won't be. I can see an INTJ having a big problem with turnkey tyranny, and gaining that key just to be in a position to do something about it. An INTJ, though, would have brought the whole system crashing down some afternoon as Snowden did not, and would have been safely installed in some welcoming state by the time anyone knew any better. Then and only then would be time to tell all.He has the classic "deer-in-the-headlights" INTP look. Also the trademark monotone. He feels "compelled" to talk.

Oh, that's a great explanation of his real motivation.I agree with INTP, for most of the reasons you cite. I also see in Snowden a drive for the Truth, which often attends that type. He wants the truth to be known, and hopes that will be enough to bring about change, but knows it probably won't be.
