An INFJ with issues.

Definitely INJ. The only reason I say Fe comes from his deep understanding of how people feel and how their feelings can be manipulated.

Yeah I don't think an INTJ could have pulled off social maneuvering like that.

If the INTJ's big interest is figuring out human systems, he could...

I haven't seen the whole movie (keep meaning to; think my son has it at college with him) but in Conrad's Heart of Darkness on which it's based all you really see is the mental illness. There's no type.

Schwarzenegger is INTJ, and he's exceptional at "pulling off" almost anything, including what you could call social manoeuvering.

INJ, INTJs and INFJs alike are essentially subjective and I am under the impression that Te and Fe lack the strength to really make their mark on Ni - especially when Ni is comparatively high (although perhaps Fe makes the environment more important to INFJs than it is to INTJs) . As the most NF of the NTs and the most NT of the NFs, it often seems to be difficult to distinguish between the two types.

^True. There was something about his explanation of his breaking point that made me think Fe/Ti, but I can't quote anything unfortunately.
