Nietzsche - Human, All Too Human (Full BBC Documentary)
[MENTION=8413]Zarathustra[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7314]Overman[/MENTION] might like this thread.
Here's some clues as to what Nietzsche's type could be:
1. He was a tenacious visionary oriented towards action.
2. He was counterphobic and challenged all convention.
3. He was a rationalist who proclaimed that God is dead.
4. He believed in independent values over the group.
5. He was very introspective and looked deeply inside.
6. He believed in self-mastery and rising ever higher.
7. His work was a foundation or a forge for the future.
8. His goal was to become a superman or Ubermensch.
9. He fused empirical logic with a mixture of mysticism.
10. Nietzsche is a prophet guiding our ways to freedom.

INTJ (and I assume that it is the answer you want people to give.)

That's the answer I gave, but I'm interested to see what other people think. Personally, I think INTJ is an easy answer, but the enneagram and instincts are quite unclear, as they are with most thinkers we can't directly see.

i dont see how claiming that god is dead is referring to rationality, if it were, he would first need to define god and definition of god was not included in his idea of god being dead. anyways im pretty sure he was an INTJ

6w5 possibly.
His initial admiration and later rejection of Wagner reminds me of type 6s very unstable relationship with authorities.
