I heard he was either ESFP or ESTJ. According to Socrates he favored drama or a military career over philosophy, but was forced to abandon the former due to a father who loathed his efeminate demeanour and passive homosexual tendencies, and the latter due to an overprotective mother (which incidentally may explain said tendencies)

^ The above post seems to me a sufficiently strong analysis of Plato's personal metaphysics and I can contrast that with my system as a thinker being radically different as rather than focusing on finding our higher divine identity I seek to achieve infinite mastery of creation in order to control it and impose our will upon the world in a way that maximizes the power of our life force as well as being a means of achievement.

Hmm...I don't think that is necessarily true; myself and an INTJ friend certainly dwell in Plato's world more than yours. Or maybe we're actually feelers.
