Educated guesses as to Socrates' type tend to say INTP, although this page
http://www.celebritytypes.com/blog/category/jungian-functions/
has him as an ENTP:
"So Socrates was not only ENTP, he was also an antisocial bastard. Indeed, had Martin Luther King Jr. known this side of Socrates, it remains to be taken up anew whether he would ever have compared Socrates to Jesus Christ."
It's nice to see some good arguments for type being made. I just don't see the anti-social side of Socrates. He was against society as it stands (particularly the absolute democratic form of government), but not against society per se. I like the arguments showing that Socrates was an extravert; but as a social reformer, and not anti-social, I will have to go with ENFP.
