Was T.E Lawrence an INFJ?

Can someone please help me (preferably someone interested in history/historical people) figure out the MBTI of T.E Lawrence... (AKA. Ned, Lawrence of Arabia, TE Shaw). I'm thinking he was probably INFJ, but I'd like another opinion. I've read lots about him for the past 4-5 years.

(The real TE Lawrence by the way, not Peter O'Toole's portrayal). (Sorry movie buffs).

This was one of the very last pictures taken of Ned, circa February 1935, 4 months before he died.

This website contains quite a number of his letters to friends, family etc. It also contains the whole of, 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom', 'The Mint' (my favourite), and a few others.

A few things I should note:
An enneagram website has listed him under type 4.
He was a masochist..
Had depression (and probably PTSD)
Highly intelligent from a young age.
Possibly asexual? Don't guarantee me on this though..

So of course, this would affect one's behaviour.
(May not fit into one type because of this?)

Thanks.

Hahaha thanks. Oh I meant people interested in historical people. Hahahaha.
But no seriously, if he was alive today he'd be an interesting friend to have. I've always wanted to meet an INFJ.
