I've been watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos series, and while dated, it is an enormously rewarding watch. While watching, I've been trying to figure out his type. I was pretty sure he seemed like an NF, but this site is pretty sure he's an NT (http://www.wischik.com/damon/Texts/myersbriggs.html), an ENTJ. He's definitely E and definitely N and most likely J, but based on his Cosmos series I think he's an ENFJ. Debate is welcome.

He is either ENTJ, ENTP, INTJ, or INTP. I don't see him as anything other than NT.

“The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Thanks for your reply. Would you or someone else mind telling me what 3w4 So/Sx means. I think it has something to do with Ennegram right? I took the ennegram briefly, but do not remember any letters after the type. Sorry, I just feel like I should know this by know. I don't mean to go off topic in a thread I started, haha.

Why does everyone think Carl Sagan is introverted?

I think he is definitely ENxJ. I just can't decide if he's T or F.

I would say T because he uses a lot of Te in his Sherlock Holmes detective like rationalist NT philosophy of being open minded, yet skeptical and looking at all of the facts before jumping to a conclusion and confirming things over and over again through routine and repetitive experiments, the hallmark of a scientist, which in general would mean INTJ, but since he is so charismatic and expressive, he would be ENTJ. His further independence over the dogma of the establishments and resistance of authority seems far more like a questioning NT than NF, since NF is more agreeable and NT is more argumentative.

enfjs can often be mistook for entjs. I think the rational functions, in the same attitude, tend to often both be well used. [Te/Fe Ti/Fi]

This guy who talks about Carl Sagan is likely an INTJ, giving futher evidence to Sagan's NTJness

It was copied from http://www.typologycentral.com/foru...tebin-mbti-enneagram-combination-typings.html. And that list was cannibilized off of some other site.

Here's the low-down on the enneagram:
