What would be Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot's MBTI type?

They are all S's
Except Mulder from the X-files.. he is an N
Detectives by their very nature are sensors.
Detail oriented and trusting gut feelings.
Everyone likes detetives... to some degree.
So what do you think they are? The famous leading detectives in all the shows and books. I've not seen that many to be honest that I could be confident enough to type, but I'll list all the ones I can think of, even if I can't tye them. In fact for the time being, I won't type them at all.
Are you a Jeremy Brett fan? I hope so! I first read Sherlock Holmes when I was seven or eight, but JB was in large part responsible for triggering my massive Sherlock Holmes obsession, which dominated a good chunk of my imaginative life in my teens, and is still present though more in the background...
What type do you think JB portrayed Holmes as? I'm really not sure. Just curious about your opinion.
OH are you suggesting they are all N's??
I can't wait to see your reasoning.. because your reasoning mostly just seems to say the other person's is wrong and never really elaborate why.
Please prove to me that a job that requires linear reasoning, noticing fine details, and picking up physical cues form people would be suited to an N..
Evidence is key.
I have watched a little of Brett. I think he was pretty damn accurate from what little I did see and I think he portrayed him as INTP, like the books.
Now tell me how .."I just know" is going to stand up in court.
Look at the Crap Mulder goes through because he just "knows"
Yes that is how it seems.. And that makes you a good detective.No.
You seem to be under the impression that a) Ns cannot possible notice details and b) A job that requires abstract thinking, complex patterns and linking concepts and ideas together would be suited to an S.
Both Ss and Ns can be detectives and both can use N and S functions at the same time. But they generally have different approaches depending on their preferences.
Retarded point of the century.They are all S's

However I have motivations that you would not understand unless you have been paying really close attention. Even The N's on here just don't seem to get what my gig is. Even when I am blatant and obvious.
an astute sensor should have had me figured out months ago. An N is too busy looking for hidden meanings that they missing what's been so plainly right in front of them.
I am not to hard to figure out, it's just that we don't have enough sensors on the forum. If we did.. I would have been nailed by now .
Am I crazy? probably.. so don't hurt yourself too much if you don't know what the hell I am talking about.
Gregory House: ENFP
House is undeniably either ENTP or ENFP. I think F because he generally speaking starts off his investigations with some arbitrarily-defined axiom or another (as opposed to a deduction or anything logically consistent), which he then flatly refuses to let go of no matter what happens. Most of the plot usually revolves around House stubbornly holding on to some personal belief or another, and everyone else trying to prove him wrong.I never really understood how House was an F. He's always trying to find the truth and solve the problem. He is often brutally rational and I even remember in a recent episode, Cuddy said "Not everything can be treated as a mathematical equation" to him, which I think sums him up nicely. I've always seen him as a T, if a somewhat emotional one at times.
Going back to the relevant portion of this discussion...
