Idealist can't make it in the real world.

Without those idealists, the world would be a far worse place than it is... the real world can't make it without idealists

lenore thompson typed bill clinton as an ENFP 3w2. how accurate that is, i have no idea.

he is a 3, but many say he's ESFP. i'd go with ENFP.

btw. where did you read that? i didnt know Thompson is using Enneagram too.

Tom Selleck? Hmmmm.... Does he bring the quality of the list up or down.

Up. He succeeded against all odds and he was one of the sexiest men ever on TV.
He's still not a bad looking man, now. :devil:

INFPs are Awesome. :solidarity: Don't make me angry.

I see no Ne whatsoever in Obama. I can believe him to be ENTJ, if not ENFJ. I see a ton of Ni in how he answers questions.

The real world is brighter because of us shiny beings. :devil:

Agreed - Obama is ENFJ in my perspective, lots of Ni, no Ne.

sorry, that was misleading, should have put the 3w2 in parentheses. thompson didn't say that as far as i know. just was clarifying for purposes of how an ENFP would be practical and driven enough to make it in such an arena.

seems more likely for enneagram 8, 3, 1, maybe 2w3, 6 to make it to high-status political positions, just because of their drives and fears.

i think NFPs can be great leaders if they get in touch with their Te, and NFJs if they get in touch with their Ti. the few ENFJs i know seem like born leaders.

Depends on what kind of leader is wanted/needed. And what they're going to be leading.

yes. there are many kinds of leaders. mother theresa wasnt very loud woman, but was a leader.

i guess INFPs would more lead by their own example, and ENFPs more with inspiring others and insinuating change.

Adolf Hitler, although his ideals were shrewd and outright evil, he was a smart man. I don't know, saying it just felt appropriate.

I was going to blurt out "Hilter!" because he was still a leader.

the real question is, are NTs disappointed or proud to not be able to claim him? :newwink:

If he is ESFP, then he's a very good example on just how well rounded they can be (I wouldn't doubt it personally, because I'm good friends with one. It's cool if there's more a popular example of it though).

Yeah, I think he's proof that ESFPs aren't just bubbly actors, singers, and comedians.

They're also lecherous and deceitful con-men with very little self control!

LOL. :smile:

^Why must everyone "meaningful" in the world be an N?

Imagine that. ;)
