I'm just pulling Victor's leg. Gosh Lark can't you even see that?
To be honest Jesus was such a great guy, that much is unmistakeable from any of the sources, I hate reading people trashing him.

Must give credit to Jesus for bringing humanity to the concept of God.
Before Jesus, God was the best example for a close minded tyrant who wanted everyone to love him.
Disgusting!
Although I do think that Jesus was a good example of Jewish orthodoxity too, at least some important schools of thought, there are many parallels between the sayings of Jesus, his understanding of Judahism and Moses. At least I have read them.
This relates to my other post about universal and objective morality, Jesus did not import humanism into the relationship with God, he discerned it or knew it better than others before or perhaps since, it was always there.
It works well if you want to inspire hate.But I have read the bible. I was shocked when I read the last part. They caught the good guy and whacked him till he died?
Typing someone who lived 2,000 years ago is silly. Why not just stick with His star sign?
Why does it matter how long it has been since he lived? People are still typing people like Alexander the Great for God's sake. Why can't we type Jesus?

We don't know His star sign Victor.
Speak for yourself. I celebrate the Solstice, another event shanghaied by institutional Christianity to co-opt existing popular sentiment.C'mon, we celebrate His birthday every year.
Because such personality typing is unreliable and invalid.

I could then argue that we couldn't type characters either because they are not real life human beings and don't have "real cognitive functions".
The deeper problem is that typing is not based on evidence and reason. For instance, mbti has not been subject to even one random double blind experiment in 70 years.
Typing is simply fantasy with a scientific patina. Typing is pseudo science.
Typing has precisely the same truth value as astrology.
In fact typing and star signs are ways to induce a light trance, so that our critical faculites are befuddled, and we are susceptible to suggestion. And the military like their recruits to be susceptible to suggestion, just as employers like their employees susceptible to suggestion, and just as predators like their victims to be susceptible to sexual suggestion.
To tell the truth, people can't really type other people. They can just map out a person's cognitive functions. There are way too variables in a person's life in order to put them into a concrete type and there are so many different ways that people can develop other functions. The best we can do is attempt to map out a person's cognitive functions in order to determine which type they would fit in better than any other.
