Dear all,
I know that we have discussed this several times earlier. I do not expect us to come to an agreement, but I would appreciate it if the users with an opinion on the subject would post their arguments for Socrates as eigther INTP or ENTP, preferably in bullet-point form.
I'll start:
INTP: Indulged in solitary meditations where he neglected his appearance and social appointments.
INTP: Very Ti-driven in dissecting the arguments of others.
ENTP: Died talking, and died of talking.
ENTP: Philosophical doctrine is extensive rather than deep.
Etc.
PS: To the people who would problematize the historical source material on Socrates, these are the sources that I consider the most historically acurate:
* Apology * Charmides * Crito * Euthyphro * Ion * Laches
* Lesser Hippias * Lysis * Menexenus * Protagoras
Works that _cannot_ be used to type the historical Socrates:
* Republic * Laws
