Well, the country's going down anyway, so we might as well. I no longer take Presidential elections seriously.

Nixon was S. He was ridiculously detail-oriented, and obsessively focused on past details of his life. Si-dominant to the core. Bush Sr, on the other hand, is quite Ni -- he treats politics like a game of chess.
I'm pretty sure Nixon was an INTJ and Bush Sr. was ISTJ. More sure about Nixon.

Jefferson was a bossy control freak who couldn't stand it when things didn't go his way. He was also quite blatantly Ni-dominant, and rather reclusive.
Jefferson was definitely Ni dominant. He was either INFJ or INTJ.

On further reflection I think they were both INTJ, actually. Bush Sr is most definitely an IRL chessmaster. :D

Dubs is actually ESFP, come to think of it...

How was Bush Sr. a "chessmaster"? I'm intrigued.

The only real chessmaster in that family was Prescott Bush. Bush Sr. and W are just offshoots of that power and wealth. They really get less talented each new generation.

George Bush Sr.: ESFJ
Bill Clinton: ESFP
George W. Bush: ESTP
Barack Obama: INTJ

Here's my list by the way. I think Bush Sr. isn't very NT at all- more so an SJ.
An SJ can play "chessmaster" if he felt that he was obligated to do so- which could be likely since his father was involved in politics/business.

How can we know the personality type of a President if he doesn't do a valid and reliable psychometric test given by a qualified psychometrician and interpreted by a qualified psychometrician?

Without these necessary conditions all we have is fantasy.

Some immediate corrections that come to mind, regarding the few presidents I know a bit about:

George H.W Bush: I can't imagine claiming dominant introverted intuition for the man who says "I don't do the vision thing".

Abe Lincoln: I am pretty biased towards seeing him as some kind of _S_P type ("artisan" temperament). What comes to mind for me is his personal battle with general McClellan. Lincoln obviously wanted McClellan to have some more guts. But there's also other stuff that makes me think SP for him.

I agree with your list for the most part, but I'd type Lincoln as an INTP, JFK as an ENFP and Obama is definitely either an INTJ or INFJ. I've noticed by the way you talk that your typing are based on your republican bias and not on actual typology.

I'm pretty apathetic to politics (and I'm not American) but I'm here to say fuck yeah, we got JFK.
