Comes to show how much credit I put into the fruits of those 15-year "studies"
If the topic were speculative, I guess ppl would speculate as to why or why not he might be coming out of Ti-Se-Ni-Fe.
I used to think he were an xNTP because of the Ti and immature Fe, but I didn't see much Ne and thought he was hiding it. ISTP makes more sense than the other options - not a Fe dom or aux,
Do you remember when he ran in 2008?
I never knew this forum was home to a whole bunch of amazing Jungian analysts, all better than JOHN BEEBE
The reasoning and his theory (8 function model, we use aux function to help others) is discussed in the article in the OP and other articles on the same site.
Oh, and their shoes are crucial.
Jung: INFJ
Obama: INTJ, albeit a powerless figurehead, but I guess that goes for anyone who is the president.
iNtuitive people feel threatened because Obama was typed an SP by the most prominent NT Jungian analyst alive
LOL
No, not threatened at all. I know some Ns try to claim everyone but I genuinely don't see how he could be a Sensor. His speeches are highly abstract and concept driven in their nature. He is always attempting to draw many differing threads together; creating a sense of the connectivity and convergence between seemingly disparate people and ideas. He's always delving below the surface in the search for insight and clarity, and then tries to reframe things in a new light.iNtuitive people feel threatened because Obama was typed an SP by the most prominent NT Jungian analyst alive

Why do people believe he's a Thinker? He's one of the least T-like leaders out there.
IMO he's a ENFJ.
I've always seen him as enfj and can't buy him as anything else.... what's up with the inferior Fe guesses? I think he reeks Fe.
ENFJ after reading into it.
Here is what I think about Mr Obama's type and typing people in general. There isn't a single answer to type because it depends on how you interpret the system. Typing of people differs among experts even. The best you can do is devise your own little system that makes sense to you and works for you.
That's called public image.
